Ive put wrong flight number on my application and submitted it, will this be a issue or can they change it ? any input would be great thanks

I would like to apply for DTV but there was an INCIDENT during my last visit.

When returning the bike, the owner accused me of damaging it (the side was slightly scratched, it was like that when I rented it, but I didn't take any photos). He wanted 10 or 15 thousand baht from me, I refused and went to the airport to leave Thailand. The owner wrote to me, showed screenshots from the messenger, that he had notified a policeman he knew, it looked quite credible, but he also said that the Thai police wanted to arrest me and that he had submitted reports that would reach all SEA countries (xD).

Could this affect my DTV visa? How can I check if this migration has received any reports? I haven't been to Thailand since then and I wanted to apply for DTV from Europe, but maybe a better idea would be to fly to Thailand for 60 days, see if the police or migration will have any questions for me and then apply for DTV by flying to a neighboring country ?

Richard Jenkins made this post earlier but he had his passport number visible in one of his images so I edited the image, deleted the post and messaged him to repost it.

He can't receive messages from people so he didn't see my message

Here's his thread

In July 2023 obtained a 12 month Non OA Visa based on retirement from the UK. This was multiple entry by default. To get a new year entry stamp (following advice from this group - thanks!) I renewed my health insurance and back in Junr I re-entered Thailand, presented the new insurance and the old visa and was duly given a new 1 year Non-OA Visa (14June 2024 to 13 June 2025).

Back in late September 2024 I left Thailand for the UK and then returned on the 21 October. When I got to immigration at BKK they told me that the Non-OA Visa wasn't valid because I didn't have a reentry permit. This was a bit of a shock to me because my previous Non-OA Visa was multiple entry and there weren't any extra stamps in the passport to show that.

I debated with first the immigration officer and then her superior but to no avail. They both informed me that the Visa was not valid because I did not have a reentry permit. I assume this was correct although I have to say I was pretty pissed off. So now I have a 60-day visa-free stamp in my passport issued at BKK. It expires on the 19th of December. I live in Pattaya.

Is it possible for me to obtain a 90 day Non-O visa based on retirement or even better a 12 month Non-O visa based on retirement without leaving Thailand. I meet the financial requirements, have a current TM30 and previous TM30s and also have a 12 month contract for the condo I rent. Have valid passport and can get photos.

Do I need any more documentation?

I would normally go to the local immigration in Pattaya but would happily travel to Bangkok if that made any difference.

Thanks for your advice.

Hi all currently I'm in Thailand on a visa exempt I had planned on doing 60.days plus extension then a border run and repeat and home yet I got pulled by Immigration in sauvurnhabumi on entering I'm from UK under 50 I'm thinking of going home beginning of December and stay home for December and return to Thailand January 2nd with a 60 day e visa is this risky as in may be denied entry here in January thanks all

I have my first 0 retirement visa and it comes up for renewal in April 2025. I left Thailand on June 2024 due to medical issues I wasn't sure if I would be returning so I withdraw most of my 800,00 B. I will be returning in late November and I will be re depositing 800,00 back into my bank account. When I go to renew my yearly visa in April 2025 will I be able to renew my retirement visa?

Anybody had this? 🙂

Some years in a row i stayed in Thailand with tourist visa and border runs. And some years i was here more than 180days a year 🙂 now emmigration dont like this and i want to make DTV visa 🙂

It will not be an issue? Anybody done it?

Also if somebody stayed 180+ days, dont you have any problems with tax system (becoming Thailand tax residence)? 🙂

Thanks a lot for any advices

My Muay Thai gym is being advertised on another website as DTV available.

I'm not sure who these guys are or weather it's just an information website, visa service or scam. But for sure if you want to go the Muay Thai route contact the gym website direct. Will definitely be cheaper and more legit

I have been here visa free for the past 110 days left for 3 days after first 60 days were up came back through DMK, a young IO wasn't happy for some reason and passed me on to her boss who asked me why I had come back I said I had a girl friend and he seemed happy to allow me in I will be leaving again in 9 days but returning 1 week later this time through BKK should I get a tourist visa or will I be ok visa free?

Are the Thai embassies aware that their checklist for required documents for the tourist visa is a long time out of date?

It's already been 3 months since DTV launched.

All DTV visa holders are still having trouble opening bank accounts here.

I emailed all the banks every week and there were no updates from the bank of Thailand. I guess we just pay agents to do this 😭😭
