@James *******

Thanks for the advice.

@Peter *******

I live in India and I applied from Thai embassy Kolkata.

Took just 5 working days , no addl documentation was asked or required other than the one submitted with the application form.

Bank Balance for 6 months throughout was 500,000 Baht ( equivalent in INR)

Just a question as I’ll be arriving with my DTV visa soon.

Should I hand over my DTV visa along with the passport to the officer?

Also, I have applied via Soft Power ( Thai nature seminars), should I keep a print out a copy of their course curriculum just in case ?

@Evan *******

We did via ZOOM call.

I joined one of their seminars last week, and it was really interesting and also learnt a lot about Thai fruits and also in general about fruit cultivation.

@Mark ******

That will be helpful to me as well

What did you write on the cover letter ?

@Tod ********

Just a question? Is it only the Air Carriers?

Does the immigration officer in Thailand has the rights to deny entry unless shown a return ticket within 30 days even if the passport allows 30 addl days extension?

@Ellie ******

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I hold an Indian passport and as I can see , I would not be eligible for the 30 days extension.

Thanks anyways and I’ll plan both my trips accordingly.

PS - Admin you can close this thread now if required.

My passport isn’t from a VISA exempt country.

So basically, what I understood is if I enter Thailand for example on 1st June with my Tourist Visa , getting an exit stamp of 30th July , and leave on 20th June with a re entry stamp , and come back again on 15th July , I can’t stay more than 15 days and I still have to leave by 30th July.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
