Hi there all,

I have just received my tourist visa that gives me 3 months.

My plan is still to stay in thailand for 6 months

I think there has been changers to visa that may effect me, such as boarder runs.

May plan

1. 3 months using my visa

2, exit , border run and I get 2 months

3. Immigration to get an extra 30 days

Is this still a workable idea?

Thanks

So here's the situation, I live in Samut Prakan and have used the TM.30 aligned with my condo for doing extensions and using it to report to immigration every time I re-enter Thailand. Recenlty I hit a snag where I mistook a 1 for a 7 and overstayed by three days. I immediately realised my error and went to the nearest immigration office to avoid paying higher fines. But we were on holiday at the time and had to create a new TM.30 from the hotel booking we had in the other province in order for me to get the extension.

Next month, I’ll be traveling to my home country. When I return to Thailand, will I be able to use the original TM.30 receipt of notification from my Samut Prakan address at the Samut Prakan Immigration Office? Or did the TM.30 from the other province automatically void the old one, meaning I’ll need to submit a new one?

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone have experience with online Thai cooking / Muay Thai courses for the DTV?

Was it accepted by the immigration?

Hello,

I read someone recently was held up at customs on entry into Thailand with a METV and I wanted to make sure I have all my bases covered.

For a METV when you enter Thailand what date should you have the ticket to show you are leaving Thailand?

Last time I had a METV I just had a ticket for my departure 7 months later at the end of the my visa stay.

When I flew out twice to reset my visa I bought my ticket after each time I had entered Thailand for the next flight to KL from Phuket.

They never asked me for a flight out the first time I entered back into Thailand but the second time they did.

On reflection the departure flight should probably should be either within 60 days or 90 days if you plan on getting extension of your entry into Thailand to be correct.

Do you have to have 20,000 baht cash with you or can you should customs on a bank account app?

And I understand you need to have proof of paid accommodation.

Thanks in Advance 🙏

Anyone know if you can teach in a school and maintain DTV Visa or do you have to switch to the Non-Immigrant "B" Visa?

Those who left and came back:

Did they ask you again for proof of money in the bank?

When I did my visa i read on many places that if you leave from the country they might ask you to show again that you have money in the bank.

I don’t remember how much was it but I believe it was around $15k

Do they actually do this? Or they just let you in?

Thank you for your responses!

Hello

I have a DTV visa. When I applied I had 500,000 Baht in my personal account. Now I have a company in Hong Kong and I keep the money there. Will the company's bank statement be accepted for visa extension?

Has anyone had experience with this?

Is it okay with the immigration officer if I show only a two-week hotel booking, even though I plan to stay in Thailand for 60 days starting this April 1? I want to find a better place in Phuket by walking in rather than booking online, and I will book the rest of my stay later when I arrive there.

I hope someone can give me a good idea.
