Hello,

Could anybody tell me how long can you stay in Thailand per year using a visa on arrival just coming and going every 60 days?

I heard it’s 6 months per calendar year and was hoping someone knows the answer.

Thanks

Hi everyone 👋

My partner and I are both on a holiday visa (60 day) and want to extend for an extra 30 days but wanting to know the process on how to do so.

We are in Samui if that helps.

Thank you in advance ☺️

I am currently in Thailand on visa exempt for 60 days. Returning home 6th April.

Are there any restrictions as to how long I have to wait before returning to Thailand again?

(I want to return to UK for 3 weeks then back to Thailand for 21 days)

I'm looking for advice for my daughter. She has been living in Phuket training on a swim scholarship since April, 2023. She needed to go home to get her passport renewed and is on her way back. Before she left Thailand, the training center told her she needed get a DTV to return. She flew to Laos and had the training center invitation letter and letter of support; however, she was denied as they said the letter of support was not enough and she had to have the 500,000 baht in her account. The training center continues to argue with us that they do not have to have the 500,000 baht. But we've had the same issues with Beijing embassy and Los Angeles (via email enquiries). We do not want to keep paying to fly her to different embassies and getting her DTV denied. She is currently coming back to Phuket on visa exempt (US passport) and then will try to find the best option for a longer term visa once she gets here. So my questions are:

1. Is the DTV the best visa for her to be on for training or is there a better option?

2. Is a letter of support from the training center enough?

3. If DTV is the best option, which country should I fly her to for that?

Thank you for any advice or recommendations you can give?

Hi - having spent the last 14 years travelling between Thailand and New Zealand on 12 month Non O (Thai Spouse) visas I now need to take a different approach as one year is not an option through the E-Visa and the 90 day Non O costs more than 16,000 Baht from the NZ Thai Embassy. As I have the requisite 400K Baht seasoned in my Thai bank account can I arrive on a visa exempt 60 days, apply for a 90 day Non O and then the 12 month extension all within a three to four month period before I have to return to NZ?

Has anyone submitted for a tourist visa through the Thai E-Visa website recently? I've tried to pay the past couple of days and the website doesn't accept it.

I've checked with my bank and they said they aren't the issue. so just trying to verify if this is me or universal problem

Just joined the group. Searching for visa requirements for an Australian to visit Chiangmai in early March for 7 days of tourism. It LOOKS like I don't need a visa at the moment. Just turn up at the airport with a passport good for at least 6 months, some hotel bookings, a ticket out again that's valid and dated, and at least 2,000 THB. What have I missed???

Can't seem to post as myself for some reason. I have 2 uk passports and the one attached to my dtv is away at another consulate outside thailand getting a visa. I'm returning to Thailand in the next few days on another passport. Should I enter visa exempt or present my dtv(it's the printed pdf type) and try to explain?

Which immigration office should visit to get my 30 day extension ? I'm in BKK.

I have heard if you arrive in Thailand overland you only get a visa exemption for 30 days.

Can anyone please confirm this please ?

Many thanks
