@Joshua ********

Yes to a Thai national.

@Stuart ********

Yeah, I know. I'm married. But discussion was with a dude that thought DTV is limited to 450 days within 5 years and who thinks visa exempt entry is a proper visa. It was more of a discussion about tourists and their options.

Jamie Watt You said "60 day exempt is a formal visa". There is no such thing as visa obtained inside Thailand.

@Madelein **********

If you are not a frequent visa runners you should be fine. Poi Pet is a very corrupt border, known for trying to bribe foreigners.

@Nongnuch *******

Call the border, they will tell you. I live near the border, that's what happening in Nong Khai atm. Everyone is allowed to come in unlimited. Geez. You claimed that every border have refused entry to people, which is factually incorrect. "It happened in the past", no, it didn't, only in certain border like Poipet, not ALL as you claimed. Nobody has ever being refused entry in Nong Khai or Mukdahan, that's a statistical fact. You won't even find an exception.

@Jamie *****

Geez you are bad at this. A visa can only be obtained at a consulate OUTSIDE of Thailand. A visa exempt can only be obtained at the border or airport from INSIDE Thailand. You don't understanding terminology, no wonder you are lost. No offense but these are basic 101 stuff that only newb don't know about.

@Jamie *****

When did Savannahket tighten up? I live near Nong Khai border. I've been to Vientiane and Savannakhet 20+ times. You are making stuff up.

@Nongnuch *******

Prove it... you said that it happened in the past at all borders. Show me the proof.

@Joshua ********

1. Passport, valid for at least 6 months

2. Copy of passport information page

3. Copy of Visa Stamp Page, the pages with the entry stamp - you can do it both on different pages or on one sheet on both sides, this is not essential

4. TM.6 - the Departure Card

5. TM.7 - Application for Extension of Temporary Stay in The Kingdom

The TM.7 form will be provided at the immigration office. You can also print it yourself, but only on 1 A4 sheet on both sides

6. TM.30 - Notification from House-Master, Owner or the Possessor of the Residence where Alien has Stayed

7. Two color passport photos (4x6cm)

Other documents submitted to support the application

For those who are married with Thai national:

Copy of marriage certificate and copy of marriage registration (Kor Ror 2 and Kor Ror 3)

Copy of Thai spouse’s ID card

Copy of Thai spouse’s house book (Tabien Baan)

The spouse to be present with you at the immigration

You can DTV or border run every 90 or 150 days, depending if you can do 60 + 30, or 60 + 30 + 60. In Khon Kaen and Udon Thani (and probably most of Isan) you can do both +30 follow by +60 extension.

The first 30 days is your typical extension, and the follow up 60 days extension is based on marriage. So you have to show things like marriage certificate, and a few more things.
