Hello all 🙏. I need some visa advice. I have a question on the 60 days visa. If I go into Thailand on 20 Dec 2025 and stay for about 40 days. I leave after that via my return flight to my own country to stay for 14 days than I return back to Thailand to stay for another 40 days in the kingdom. is that considered a border run to the immigration of Thailand? Will immigration officers refuse my entry into the kingdom? TYIA for any advice given. 🙏
Hey all, I’m heading to Hanoi on Monday and was hoping to find out if bank statements can be a few days old by the time I submit them? I prepared all my documents last night hoping that I can send them in soon after I land in Vietnam.
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa and would really appreciate your input.
I’m working with an agent and all my documents have already been approved by their legal department. I just want to clarify one thing before applying:
My stay history in Thailand:
• Entered Thailand in July
• Stayed 2 months + 30-day extension
• Then did my first visa run
• My current visa ends on the 6th
All of this was before the new rules that started in November.
My question:
With the new restrictions and stricter entry rules, could my stay history cause any issues when applying for the DTV or when entering Thailand again after I receive it?
Would appreciate insights from anyone with experience. Thanks! 🙏
I visited back in January 11th for 7 weeks on visa exempt, then returned again mid May for 16 days then again mid September for another 16 days which on that occasion was asked how long would I be in thailand for by the IO, would it be fair to assume I'll be pulled aside or even denied entry if I was to return on the 9th December for 56 days? Any opinions guys as I'm seriously thinking of leaving it till January instead..
Has anyone done a same-day border run in the last day or two?
I have a METV and I’m scheduled to go with Chiang Mai Border Run tomorrow, but they just notified me that their “collaborating immigration officer” won’t be on duty, so same-day re-entry isn’t guaranteed at the moment due to the unstable immigration rules.
I’m concerned because I’m not prepared for a 2-night stay, and my current extension is only valid until 11/26. Any recent experiences or advice would be really appreciated.
I'm new to this group, so sorry if this a frequently asked question.
I'm a UK national, 60 years old , living in Thailand for 9 years already, on the standard retirement visa.
My parents, both UK nationals, , 83 & 84 years old, want to come and live with me. They would return to Europe a couple of times a year, but would be essentially living here, at my house, say 10 months each year.
Do they each need to apply for a retirement visa independently of each other, meaning 800k each in 2 separate bank accounts, or is there an option for attaching one as the spouse of the other to a single retirement visa.
Or are there other options available, like a family visa, or something similar.
I just consulted a dtv visa agency and they said dtv for chinese citizens are very strict, and only Laos is the option. And the 500k baht for 3 months is non negotiable. Do we have chinese member here can give some advise?
