Aha OK. Thanks for sharing. Laos told me they don't have a specific date set yet, but will happen "soon".

What are the requirements for extending a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand and are border runs a better option?

Paul *******

yeah, showing up with a stack of papers and not knowing whether they want the funds "seasoned" for a certain period of time means doing a border run is preferable.

Has anyone with a DTV experienced questioning during immigration in Thailand due to a history of tourist visas?

Paul *******

Has Taipei already transitioned? I think they will soon, but it hasn't happened yet. I doubt there will be more questions when applying via e-visa...it will be a case of whatever you end up submitting and whether they ask for more documentation.

Paul *******

Laos (appointment needed). Probably will only switch to e-visa around January 2025 as well (tentatively, as no specific date has yet been set).

Yangon (appointment needed) - won't switch to e-visa until probably January 2025 or later.

Jakarta - will probably accept walk-ins until at least late November.

Should I ignore the warning from Thai immigration and enter on a visa exempt stamp or apply for an eVisa?

Paul *******

Phuket isn't any better. Perhaps a land border entry would be advised. Fly into Kuala Lumpur, then catch a bus to Hat Yai, something like that.

For pretty much anywhere but Laos, anywhere from 1 day to 1 month seems to be sufficient.

@Alessandro ********

It seems that all visas issued in sticker form still state "employment prohibited", meanwhile some of the e-visas now say things like what's indicated on your visa.

@Shandy *******

Yep, could be. However, regardless of this, a work permit must accompany a valid visa that is work authorized.
