I was here three months (two months extended) ,

then I left a couple of weeks when I came back to Phuket they told me at the airports that I should’ve obtained a visa and forced me to buy a return ticket one month later not a day more. Gowever, when they stamped my passport, it said two months. Now I wanna stay a little over one month. Would that be an issue?

If i get my DTV in Hanoi while in Vietnam, do i have to fly to TH from Vietnam or can i go to any country and fly from there the first time i enter TH ?

Denied entry !

I’ve been in Thailand since 2022 with visa free stamp and always doing border bounces every 60 days.

What happens if you get denied at the border? Can you just apply for a tourist visa right away?

Any recommendation will be helpful

I would encourage people to not go for extensions and stop asking about them and I’ll tell you why.

This is a special five year tourist visa and for some reason the Thai government does not want you staying there for a year straight whatever the reason may be, there’s a reason to make it so difficult to get an extension and when you applied for this you knew that you had to fly out every six months and you should’ve planned for that.

I know that the expats in Thailand are notorious for finding ways around the rules of the country and it’s almost kind of like an achievement to them, but the thing is you’re going to ruin this visa for us if you keep trying to push for things like bank accounts on this visa that you’re not supposed to have or extensions that they don’t want to grant you quite clearly, because you are not a resident you are a tourist that’s why we don’t get a residence card.

Yeah, you can kind of treat it like a five year residency, but there is a reason an unwritten reason why they want you to leave every six months and it was baked into the visa and the more people who go for extensions and find ways to get them are going to piss off the people in the ministry and the immigration to where they might just stop letting us in one day , they can do whatever they want with this visa, they can tell us to leave, so you know, pushing the envelope all the time isn’t always the greatest thing and there’s no gain in getting extension except for you save a little bit of money and a little bit of time But in all reality you should’ve planned to leave every six months anyways, so I really get tired of seeing the extension post over and over and over again because I know that it’s going to put an end into this visa and possibly our time on it because even though it says it’s granted for five years, they don’t have to honor it.

I will apply for a remote worker DTV visa. I see one of the requirements is a letter from the company confirming that I work remotely.

Do they also require the letter to state that the company allows you to work from Thailand?

Doing my 30 day extension after arriving in Bangkok in January. Can I still do 2 border runs?

Can you fly in whenever, or do you need to be in Thailand soon after recieving visa?

If I have made my LTR non refundable payment of $1700usd to the Thai Embassy website too soon. Then I was told I need to have the Thailand assets like a Real Estate investment to get my LTR Visa. Since I do not plan to purchase real estate here for another year or so, What is my best Visa option to start and then transfer to my LTR Visa once I own my real estate here. Also will the immigration office hold my payment as valid for 12 months while I secure a seperate visa until I qualify for my LTR Visa? Thank you in advance. Great group ...

OA retirement question: My husband is on his 2nd year of a OA retirement extension he obtained in his home country, Taiwan. Now, a Thai university is considering giving him a paid research fellowship, so the question is: If he replaces his current OA with a paid research visa (similar to education visa), is there any risk in the future for him to re-apply for OA or O retirement extension?
