Has anyone successfully applied for a DTV visa online or in person at Cambodian immigration?

Randy ********

yes, Tod is the man I’d most definitely listen too. He knows pretty much everything when it comes to Thailand and visas.

you will not get any service in person. You can be in any country other than Thailand when applying for the visa.

I’ll say this again, you will not get any help walking into any Thai embassy. They have all moved to online for the visas.

What is the best visa option for a 6-month stay in Thailand: Education or Tourist visa?

Randy ********

@Kristian *******

you need to do it at the immigration office in your area. You’ll need your TM30 to do an extension.

Randy ********

If your passport allows, 60 day visa exempt plus a 30 day extension. Leave, come back and do it again.

Is there a limit to visa-exempt entries in Thailand for US passport holders?

Randy ********

There is no limit. The limit is set by the immigration officer in front of you. Some don’t care, some take their job serious. I’d suggest a visa next time or an assist company to get you in.

@Georgia *******

like I’ve stated a few times already, flying in is where the problems arise.

Trying to spend a large amount of time here without a proper visa is going to cause you trouble, UNLESS you use a service.

that’s nothing new. Like I’ve mentioned, it’s the airports where most are having the issues.

I would suggest if you have to arrive via an airport, get the proper visa before you arrive.

If not, use a border bounce company and you’ll be more than likely ok to reenter.
