For those who have seen my previous post, here an update (posting from my wife FB): Dec 11, I got denied a 60 dsys visa exempt entry in Nong Khai. Yes, I've been pushing my luck for far too long

Despite being married and my Thai wife being with me, they are currently cracking down on visa runners there. Many people got denied that day. I saw the line behind me.

I stayed a few days in Vientiane and got back in tonight using BKK airport priority lane. They have such services in most airport in Thailand but you need an agent help. It's impossible to get denied entry that way, that's all I'm gonna say.

That's all.

how's the experience of people who wait for their dtv approval and come back to thailand in the meantime and then do a border run once the visa got approved? i understand that they technically can't process visa processing while we're inside thailand but i heard some people have a successful experience with it. i have some emergency and i need to come back to thailand as soon as possible, is this doable?

Does anyone know if the 5 year period begins when you enter Thailand or from when the visa is approved?

Holding Canadian passport entering with tourist visa to Thailand, why sometimes immigration stamp for 2 months and sometimes 1 month?! How to make sure they stamp for the max - 2 months? 🙏🏻

Hi , when entering Thailand we get the entry permit stamp (60 days?) how many times a year can we visit like that? Asking as I will have family visiting me when I move permanently? I think I was told by someone you can only visit twice a year on this entry stamp?

Hi everyone,

I saw this message in a French group about a "tax" issue for DTV visas at Don Muang Airport. Does anyone know if there's an official rule about declaring 35% of funds in Thai accounts or paying this kind of "tax"? Or is this just another unclear situation in Thailand?

Thanks for any insights!

I have a Multi entry type non O visa.

I am due to fly out to Cambodia soon. My return date is the 11th of December.

I fly out again on March 11

This is 90 days, ( 91 if you count 11th of December as day 1)

My question is will I be required to complete a 90 day reporting ?

Thanks for any advice

Hi all! A question regarding DTV visa.

My partner and I are not married but in a domestic partenrship (in some countries its called common law or civil union)

Will the same rull apply here as on married couples? Meaning in case I get the visa, will it my partner automatically get it as well?

In additon, do you know what documents are required to be presented for a civil union couple?

Thank you all!

Hi, I have read back through various posts and am across the 60 day visa exemption and possible 30 day extension ( we are Australian and British Passport holders ), but for various reasons, we are going to stay 97 days. Happy to do a trip to Malaysia by air for a few days, but I cannot see any comment as to whether a second visa exemption entry would be possible, or if there is a restriction as to the number of times this is allowed. Appreciate any relevant advice.

I spoke to an immigration officer and asked him what he thinks are the chances of getting a new DTV when the first one expires after 5 years. His answer: "This is Thailand, no one knows yet, but what I know for sure, the DTV will not be the same in 5 years".

Should be a warning for the ones who already have an O-Non Immigrant retirement visa and plan to switch to a DTV.
