Hello, I need your advice, I would like to inquire about the visa requirements for my upcoming trip to Thailand. I have a European citizen.

I previously stayed in Thailand from January 2025 to May 2025, and again from July 2025 to October 2025. I am now planning to return to Thailand in January to visit with my Thai wife.

Could you kindly advise whether I am eligible to travel to Thailand at any time under visa exemption, or if I am required to apply for a visa in advance since i stayed more than 230 days this year. Thank you for your time.

Has anyone had this while applying for there DTV. I understood as long as you apply for it outside Thailand once you’ve applied you can in theory travel back into Thailand.

So reading all these posts I have a question.

I am married to a Thai but I work on a ship and I am only back in Thailand in the Winter (End Dec till Mid Feb) then I am back at work so max 50 days this year will be less I usually enter on Visa Exempt don't need extension for the last 3 years I was there in Aug for 16 Holiday to see the wife. I know it's up to the IO but was just wondering if I can expect any problems.

Arrive 30 Dec Depart 11 Feb with 6 days in Vietnam in the middle.

I have ticket out already and my contract and letter of employment for next year.

Been living and teaching in Vietnam for the almost 10 years but I feel like I need a change of scenery, so planning on moving to Bangkok sometime next year. On top of teaching, I also run a semi-successful YT channel on the side so don't want to teach full time, 15hrs a week is more than enough for me. Due to the channel, I haven't had time to get a PGCE unfortunately so I only have a TEFL.

I read online that I need to earn a certain amount each month in order to keep my visa, and that most schools don't support the visa costs/application, especially for a part timer - is this true? What are my options? I'm from the UK if that matters.

Hi everyone, I need some advice about my DTV (Soft Power Muay Thai) visa entry.

I received my DTV visa in August and I already used my first entry when I arrived in Thailand on 1st September and stayed until 23rd November.

Now I’ll be making my second entry on 4th January, and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly because I’ve heard immigration rules have been changing a lot recently.

During my first entry, I carried all the documents I submitted for the visa (accommodation proof, training receipt, etc.), but immigration didn’t ask to see anything.

For this second entry, what should I expect?

• Should I carry proof of accommodation again?

• Should I carry/prepare updated Muay Thai training receipts?

• Do I need to show 500,000 THB in my bank account for financial proof?

• Are they generally stricter for second entries now?

If anyone has recently done their second entry on the DTV Soft Power Muay Thai visa, I would really appreciate your advice or experience.

Thank you! 🙏🥊

Hi, I’ve entered Thailand for 3 weeks on Non-O visa (3-month) and plan to extend it (or my stay, to be precise for some) to a year, which will require a 2-month deposit record of 800k baht at a local Thai bank. I’m just about to get an address certificate, with my lease contract, from the Immigration Office ; the address certificate is required by most Thai banks. My question is……..

before my Non-O expires 3 months from my entry, yet my bank deposit has not reached 2 months, how may I continue legally staying here and make my bank deposit reach 2 months, so that I may extend my stay to one year ?? 🤔

I know my Non-O (3-month) is good for only single entry, and as soon as I leave Thailand, I will need to re-apply.

Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Inquiry for DTV visa cancellation process

I’m planning to apply for a Non-Immigrant B visa for work.

Currently, I hold a DTV visa issued by the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

I’ve tried to check the DTV cancellation process:

♦️I asked immigration officers in Chiang Mai, but they said they aren’t fully sure. They told me my DTV will be automatically cancelled when I enter Thailand with a new visa from outside the country.

♦️I also emailed the Phnom Penh Thai Embassy for clarification but haven’t received any reply.

⚠️Recently, I applied for a Non-B visa in Laos, but my application was cancelled (as shown in the screenshot).

They said "my passport bio page image was unclear, even after I re-submitted it in JPEG format.

and in addition you still have DTV and IB visa issued from Thailand Embassy in Phnom Penh.Please contact them to cancel them before you entering Thailand with a new visa. "

Is there anything I can do here in Laos to resolve the DTV visa issue, without needing to travel back to the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh for cancellation?

But Phnom Penh Thailand embassy hasn’t replied to my emails, and I am currently in Laos.

For context, my visa history is:

1st Non-B → then DTV in cambodia, Phnom Penh→ now applying for Non-B in Laos, Vientiane.

So I’m wondering:

👉 Has anyone experienced the same issue when switching from DTV to Non-B visa?

👉 Is there anything I should prepare or be careful about regarding the DTV cancellation or passport submission before applying my non b visa again ?

Any information or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you! 🙏
