Hello!

I work seasonally (May - October) so I'm unemployed currently (until May 2025) but I also have a rental property which I can show income for for the past couple of years.

I also have much more than the 500,000 baht needed in my bank account and have for years.

Is this enough to be considered for the workation option for the DTV? I'd rather not sign up for classes as I like to travel around thailand during my 6 months here per year.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hello 👋😊 I entered Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa and extended it for 30 days. By the end of this month, my total stay will be 90 days. Can I extend my visa for another 30 days, or will I need to leave the country and do a border run? Thank you in advance 🙏

I got N NON O visa for 3 months, can I get an extention for 1 month tourist visa. I am Dutch.

Coming to Thailand for 120 days. US passport gives me 60 days. Can I extend for 30 days and then another 30 days or do I need to do a border run. TIA

I just realized that I overstayed my 60 days. In fact, today makes 7 days over and I just arrived to Koh Phangan. I am trying to weigh my option on the most economical solution for myself.

Has anyone been stopped at the gate on the island and told to pay the fine before exiting the country?

Or do you only pay the fine when you're also getting an extension? I'm so curious.

Thanks for the support.

Hi All

Looking for your recommendation, based on your posititive personal experience, on a Thai based Visa agent (ideally Jomptien, Pattaya or Bangkok) so I can obtain a Partner Visa for my Thai Partner for Australian residency.

She currently has a 1 year Australian Visitors Visa.

She is still based in Thailand and I am in Oz with the usual back and forth Thai - Oz travel.

I have done the predictable internet searches, reviews etc but would prefer direct recommendations based on your personal experiences.

Thank you in advance for your positive input.

Hello! I am getting conflicting information about reentering Thailand and was wondering if anyone could help.

I entered Thailand from Cambodia on 15th September 2024 by car to fly from Bangkok to Indonesia.

I entered again from Malaysia by car 29th October 2024 to travel the North of Thailand for 11 days.

I am in Laos now and would like to go to the south of Thailand for around three weeks. Will I need a visa for this if I’d like to stay for that long? Online it says different things; that I’d have to fly instead of enter by car, or apply for a tourist visa, or simply that when I arrive I have 60 days.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you!

Got approved for DTV Visa finally! After 2 weeks in Phnom Penh 😅. Wanted to share my experience and what documents I submitted because I never found any clear advice on this for my situation.

For reference, I make my money online through my social media so everything was kind of vague because I don’t work for a company and don’t really have any contracts or anything.

1. Business Portfolio

I created a document that gave a breakdown of my business (social media and digital marketing), I gave them my EIN Tax ID, and a copy of a letter that I got from IRS with my EIN on it. I don’t have an LLC. Described my products and services with screenshots of my social media and website. Showed screenshots of my sales reports from my payment processors. Lastly, a letter from US Embassy in Bangkok that shows they are not able to verify my income while I’m abroad.

2. Bank Statements

They don’t specifically give any timeline for bank statements or how far back you need to go. So I submitted 6 months of bank statements. I took a screenshot of my current balance. Then the first month (September) had the full statement, the other 4 months had just the cover page showing my balances.

3. Proof of location

Cambodia gives you a sticker in your passport when you arrive that has your name, and tourist visa information. I took a picture of that, and also included my hotel reservation and flight booking into the country.

Summary from my experience. The e-visa system makes things really unclear and you’re not able to get any validation before submitting documents. So my advice is to just overkill the paperwork. Especially if you’re like me and your work is not so cut and dry. I know I went way overboard but I hope that’s what got me approved. I know the turnaround times are different for every county but Phnom Penh took exactly 10 business days which is 2 weeks. Wayyyyy too long. They updated this waiting period after I booked my flight and hotel lol. Had I known, I definitely would have spent the extra money to go somewhere quicker.

Hi there,

we have a daughter who is in overstay due to hospitalisation, she is less than 2 yrs old.

She has to do a non o visa linked to her mum visa (she has work permit).

I am wondering if my daughter could do a visa run, via tachilek or lao border, possibly in the same day.

I have been told that in Lao that wont be possible as we might need at least one or more days to stay.

I am not sure if they will allow us to do in one day just presenting her situation.

Anybody knows how to deal with it the quicker?

Well, now that I'm in Bangkok, I have an update regarding my 90 visa.

First of all, the many commentors pointing out that it was actually only a 60 visa, and I would find out once immigration stamped my passport, well they were correct.

Why did I think I had. 90 day visa? Well because I spoke with the Thai embasssy in Austrlia and was advised to apply for an e-visa and selcted 90 days as duration of stay and upload inbound and outbound flight details. Which I did.

Worst part is that it cost me AUD$300 to apply for a visa that I did not need because Australian citizens get 60 days visa exempt on arrival.

Thanks to all that commented.
