What potential issues should I be aware of when traveling to Thailand multiple times with a EU passport on visa exemptions?

Stuart *********

1. There will be no problem getting the 30 day extension.

2. You may need a return/onward ticket to satisfy emirates their call on that one.

Can Indian citizens apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) from Laos, Hanoi, or Bali?

Bali is a no go for sure as the consulate there only deals with Thai citizens.

I’ll let others advise on other places.

Stuart *********

In Bangkok you can apply 45 days prior.

Do you actually have a tourist visa that you bought prior to coming or did you get the free 60 day stamp on entry?

Depends on the office you use. Some allow 45 days prior, most allow 30 days prior but some only 7 days or less.

How do I manage my Thai DTV visa when renewing my passport?

Stuart *********

almost certainly you’ll need to show a copy of your original passport - or even that original passport - for the next 5 years on entry. The visa can’t be “transferred”.

What is the process for obtaining a Thai driving license as an expat and what paperwork is required?

Stuart *********

The comments about having to have done a 90 day report to get the needed residence certificate from immigration refers to an old rule that used to be in place in Bangkok only. A few months ago that changed and now anyone can apply regardless of visa type.

What should I do if my DTV was issued outside my birth country?

Stuart *********

There has been a few posts similar to this where the IO questioned why you got the DTV in xyz country and not your own.

No accounts that I’ve read of of actual refusals though.
