Can I enter Thailand through a land border with my DTV visa?

Andy ************

It's the easiest visa in Thailand to get, but every time someone announced they got one, there's messages of congratulations! I don't get it. Can someone please explain?

What are the requirements and entry process for 60 days visa exempt entry to Thailand?

Andy ************

Expanding on what Stuart has said, it is possible your airline will ask for proof of an ONWARD journey out of Thailand within 60 days, and might refuse boarding at your point of origin. Best to check with your airline if they enforce this rule

Andy ************

If you have a visa, you don't need an ETA, which is only for visa-exempt entries. The 300 baht is a tourism tax, retirees are now classed as tourists

@Jeremy ********

The ETA is most definitely free, but (there's always a but!) the government will use the online ETA application process to introduce the 300 baht tourism tax, which isn't free!

Just get a card from your bank. It's very handy for a lot of situations

The ETA is free, unfortunately all tourists now have to pay a 300 baht tourism tax on entry, so the government is squeezing this payment into the ETA online application process! Good news is they will accept foreign credit cards finally! 👍

Do you need both a Thai bank account with THB 800,000 and a monthly income of THB 65,000 for a Thai retirement visa?

Andy ************

I'm talking generally. If you have 12x65k international transfers you don't need the 800k lump sum in your bank account when you apply for the 90-day visa and the subsequent 12 month extension
