Ian Morrison This is incorrect. Please do not spread misinformation. If you don't know something, ask. I live near Nong Khai border. It use to be extremely easy with 0% rejection rate. But since about a year ago, they are rejecting almost everyone doing back to back visa exempt entry.

500thb, yes.

See my reply above to Jair about TVC.

Retirement visa is the easiest to get done. Many agents can do it and the current price is low with all agents.

Todd McGowan Compared to everyone else. TVC is the most expensive visa agent in Thailand. But they have stellar customer support, deliver on time, and less hassle + highly reliable. For example, no need to leave the house to get the Non-O + yearly extension based on marriage. Just need to ship them your passport. It's really easy, but more costly than everyone else. I've been using them on and off for over a decade. I've used a few other agents too. I know the market $ quite well.

Btw, you are a woman, so why don't you get the yearly extension based on marriage? There is no 400k baht requirement for foreign women, only foreign men.

Marianne Holmen Yes, but it's harder to do many of these, especially consecutively. Meaning if you do 90 + 60, leave Thailand to make another 90 days, it's hard to do another 60.

Greg is correct but it's better now. Meaning that they went from denied you entry and send you back to Laos, to now not allowing you to leave Thailand from that border unless you can somehow convince them that you won't try to come back from that border. So if they already know that they will deny you, they won't even allow you to leave Thailand to begin with. I say better because there is no gamble anymore. Went it happened to me late 2024 (denied entry). I had to go to Vientiane and fly back to BKK with agent.

Greg Alexander Btw, I'm Maxim Thibodeau . I remember your name, no idea why. We may have debated before. This is my wife FB. I know my stuff. I was hit by every line of crackdown: Volunteer visa crackdown, Ed Visa crackdown, first line of 60 days visit family crackdown, the 2nd wave, and the denial entry first wave in Nong Khai. You survive everything in Thailand with a good agent in your corner. Everything is possible still in 2026, even more so now that the Junta won the election. In fact, its easier now. Agents will start offering more packages. Its still possible in 2026 to get yearly extension with agent for ed visa, marriage, etc, without ever leaving your house. Nothing has change in that regard.

Greg Alexander Its 90 + 60, then 90 + 7 if you try again. Unless there significant time in between. But you cant do it back to back anymore unless lucky. Same thing with 60 + 60, its 60 + 7 after (for the last 2 years). The 90 + 7 is more recent (since late 2025), in line with the last crackdown. I'm in similar situation as OP. I've used the scheme a lot. 90 + 60, 30 + 30 + 60, 60 + 30 + 60, etc, Every single combo for over 10 years + sometimes stuff in between.

Greg Alexander Where did he said that the other 7 months he is out of the country? Yes, ofc I know about leaving, I did: 30 + 30 + 60, and then went it flipped to 30 days: 60 + 30 + 60, for many years myself. But they had a crackdown of the 60 days for family based on entering on visa exempt or tourist for about 2 years. And since late last year, crackdown on that same 60 days but extended to coming from Non-O. So doing 90+60 is harder now especially back to back. Meaning getting 90 days neighbor country, 60 days extension, then getting another 90 days neighbor country and trying to extend 60 days again. The 60 days visit family extension is basically discontinued at this point in most immigration offices unless you do it once per year max.
