Just been informed my return home flight out of Thailand has been cancelled and I must reschedule.

I have been here for 60 days visa waiver and extended that another 30 days.

My departure was scheduled for the day before the last date on my 30 day extension's passport stamp.

Can I stay until midnight on the date of that stamp or must I depart BEFORE the date on the stamp, in order to avoid an "overstay" please?

Thanks, in anticipation.

UPDATE: 24th June 2025. It has been confirmed that departure must occur by midnight on the visa expiry date stamp so that date means "visa valid up to AND INCLUDING such-and-such a date".

I have an update, being that I attended at the Immigration Office but, despite the unavoidable circumstances (being beyond my control) their policy disallows them from extending my visa, even by a week.

What they CAN (and will) do, however, is allow me to apply for a visa/extension, on the last day of my current visa only (not before) and then DENY that visa/extension and stamp my passport with "VISA DENIED. PASSPORT HOLDER MUST LEAVE THAILAND WITHIN 7 DAYS" (to effectively afford me a further 7 days of execution).

Do I REALLY want a "Thai visa application denied" stamp in my passport?

Not if it can be helped, I feel.

Rumors or confirmed people’s visas were revoked if they changed countries waiting for the process to finally be approved?

Thanks

I just don’t see them checking after it’s been approved

A friend of mine was turned back at BKK. He had gone in and out too many times. He is back in Canada now. Other than going through the Embassy, paying his fees and getting rejected, how can he tell if he would be able to apply for a VISA now?

Can I open a bank account in Thailand on the DTV? I was told that some banks will not allow it.

I heard about new financial capabilities proof that Thailand has enforced. Does that apply to DTV visa holders also

?

Is the 6 months a year rule for tourist visas / exempt stamps still in effect? Is it only crooked visa agents Circumventing this for clients ATM?

Would there be any problem with a DTV approach where one intends to use the Muay Thai reason for the entire 5 years, and then again and again, indefinitely? I'm advising a friend who is considering retiring here, and he has done a lot of martial arts study in the past and can actually see himself doing very long term Muay Thai study.

hi :) i am currently in thailand- can i exit to Laos and enter with a different passoport? i have 2 of them

thanks so much!

Submitted my DTV application middle of March 2025. I put down an early june arrival date , but my plans have changed and now flying to BKK on the 19th of may and not early June.

What happens if i fly to thailand and my application still isn't approved , then gets approved once i am already in thailand ? I presume I come in on a VOA?

I am also presuming i will have to leave the country and come back in on the DTV?

I called the embassy in australia 🇦🇺 2 times now and they are aware of my new travel date. Lady said she will see what she can do!

Any advice would be appreciated,thanks in advance. Just want to make sure i am following the process. I have no doubt i am not the 1st person to do this! 🙏 ❤️ 🇹🇭
