In my recent experience a DTV isn't a guaranteed reentry into Thailand ( words from an IO)and IOs are asking to see proof that you do what you said you did on your original application. Doubt most people will be asked but i'm certainly going to have a print out of my original application next time. X (land border) 99 % of you toes rags will be fine, i'm just saying have a bit of proof with you as some of the IOs are jobsworths.
I woud like to ask if anyone has flown from BKK to Cambodia for a visa run/visit with AirAsia, and faced any issues for not having an eVisa. Asking because I've read on another group of a situation where a person has been denied boarding for not having the Cambodian eVisa, although it is well known you can get a VOA once arrived. Thanks!
I had my DTV approved in Vietnam on the 29th of November, 2024. I've been living back in Bangkok since the 4th of December. I'm flying to Bali tomorrow.
1. Is there anything to prepare for the flights in and out or easy enough with multi-entry good to go?
2. I suppose no need for any 90 day report stuff as I won't be in Thailand for this length of time?
My first 180 days will expire on January 27th. Can I simply leave the country and come back in and get a new 180 days?
Suppose I left on January 24th and came back in on January 25th, would I get a new 180 days from January 25th? Or would my old visa hold precedent and it only give me the remaining 2 days left on that visa?
Arriving shortly in Thailand, using 60 day visa exemption.
Is there ANY hard and fast rule as to how early into that period you can apply for a 30 day extension??
The www is littered with contradictory opinions, ranging from "immediately after arrival" (albeit NOT at the airport) through to "a few days before the 60 days are up"... and almost everything else in between.
Is it simply a mess... at the discretion of the Officer in front of you... or is there a RULE?
And since I am complaining about travel nonsense... I paid 24usd to have a CHECK bag. Weight limit 15kg apparently. I am 5 kilo over... The fee is 1700 baht. Vietjet is like a Bangkok taxi driver who refuses to use the meter.
Edit: check bag and 15kg limit. I don't know how I made BOTH of those errors. I am going to blame vietjet.
