I spent 3 months 60+30 in Thailand for 2026.

I read on internet it’s only 3 months maximum every 6 months without visa, if I make a tourist visa my entry in 2 weeks is safest ?

Thanks.

Hypothetically, if someone obtained an "Education VISA" via an agent, and then went back to home country for an elongated period of time and then returned back to Thailand, let's assume a re-entry permit was applied for before going back to home country. Would that person be scrutinised more by Immigration staff at the airport?

Anyone has visa agent recommended for entering Thailand from Laos through Nong Khai border?

My bf and I traveling to Laos via bus, but the officer at immigration said now he cannot come back to Thailand via bus again.

He’s holding US passport.

Not technically a Visa question it's more of a question about entry into Thailand. I have a US passport, and right now we have a 60 day stay visa exemption (unless it changes again soon). I want to know if during my 60 day stay what happens if I decide to visit Vietnam or another country in ASEAN and immediately return to Thailand. Do I ask immigration for a reentry permit or would I start my visa exemption status all over again effective with the newest day of entry into the Kingdom?

Hi,

Can someone provide a sample of a non-resident “O.” Specifically, I am interested in the remark description that follows the visa type for

the initial visa issue by an Thai embassy. Does it state “other” or “retirement.”

They’re up to it AGAIN!! Fricking Bangkok bank just locked my account AGAIN! Now! I just moved to Jomtien from Cha-am and went to the branch here and there they told me it has been locked AGAIN, NO NOTICE! and I have to go back to the branch I Hua Hin to present the information they need in order to have my account reopened!

I MEAN, WTF?!!!!!

Fortunately after the last time about 8 months again when they lock it and other foreigners accounts with NO NOTICE, and every cent I had was locked without access, I said F THIS, and opened a second account at K Bank and monthly put half in one and the other half in the other bank so I always have access to money when these MFKRS decide to just lock your money up!

FYI! K Bank took about 15 minutes to open the account, Bangkok Bank was an hour and a half so I highly recommend if any of you are coming to live in Thailand screw Bangkok Bank and go to K bank !!!! 😡🤬

Has anyone tried or knows if it's possible to do a...well let's say for example the max time you can stay in the country is 120 days....but does that mean you as a person or under that passport? If you have multiple passports, then is it possible to max out one and come back on another? Lol

Thanks for all your answers. I did presume about the whole biometrics thing. Naturally even if I had 2 passports, I wouldn't try it anywhere. Live long and prosper :)
