@Cyn **************

sounds like you have a BOI extension based on employment and they are under different rules than 'regular' employees

@Christer ****

you can be as confused as you want,

Right now the visa exempt entry is 60 days just like it's been for those 90+ countries since July 15, 2024.

Now whether they will shorten it to 30, no one knows, and there's been nothing official about it

With all the bad information out on the inter-web about entry/visa/extension to thailand I wouldn't doubt that AI gets it wrong.

Bad data equals bad info out 🙁

I'm telling you how it is right now, you can believe me or not 🙂

Sadly

@Christer ****

unless you're talking about entering LAST year (2024) that is 100% false, 😮 😕

Since July 15th 2024 there are 90+ countries which get stamped in for 60 days (Sweden included)

This is the graphic that shows which countries get in for 60 days free stamp (visa exempt) entry

@RE ******

correct,

@Andi **********

for burmese if they ask for proof of funds they have typically only asked 10K baht because they can only get in for 14 days BUT you're right, having 20k in cash would be better 🙂 ( i edited the post)

As long as you fly in you can get 14 days exempt when you enter, you can't enter by land as a burma passport holder without a real visa to thailand

You might be questioned comin' back in though as you've been here a LONG time

Depending on how they want to be they can require you have proof of 20K baht in CASH, proof you have onward travel in 14 days and proof you have lodging for the 14 days

doubtful you have ANY Non-b VISA, and it is far more likely you have an "extension of stay" based on employment here (LOOK at the stamp in your passport)

No problem at all applying for a DTV on a current extension (even with a re-entry permit), you just have to make sure when you stamp IN to the country you tell the officer at passport control you want to enter on the new DTV

AND

You need to GO to the immigration office in thailand that issued your Non-B extension and cancel it after you're back (you will probably be fined for not cancelling it when you left the country to get a new visa)

@Christer ****

not so much, they came out a while back and talked about reducing it to 30 days from 60 but then there hasn't been a peep about it since

@Chika *************

the one year extension is ADDED to the expiration date of the 90 day stamp from the Non-O <- which means with the Non-O and the year extension you have 15 months total 🙂 and each year after that will be added to that same expiration date year after year

This is a general list of things required to get a 30 day extension on a 60 day visa exempt or 60 day tourist visa entry stamp. Remember there are over 80 offices in the country so what yours requires might be a bit different

More and more offices are requiring that you have a TM30 receipt (showing you're registered as staying in the area served by the immigration office)
