Just wanna know is getting a visa for Australians still the same or just recently changed?

Hi.. I have an urgent question.. I'm on a tourist visa here in Thailand now, 60 day visa free country tourist visa.. but it will expire on Sunday Feb 23th..

What happens if I leave one day later on Feb 24???

Will there be any issue... Thanks

I'm currently in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption undergoing long term medical treatment. Trying to decide if a DTV might be the best option for me over the next year or two. I kind of have a handle on what's required after reading here. I'm pretty sure I can qualify for the medical soft power since I have to see two specialists and purchase an injectable medication monthly. I also have labs scheduled in early March. Acccording to the doctors I have to take this medicine for the rest of my life.

I realize I have to leave the country and apply at an outside embassy. My question is which of the neighbor country embassies would be my best chance for the least hassles?

Has anyone applied for DTV visa in PHNOM PENH? Then while they waited for an answer on the DTV went back into Thailand? I still have roughly 7 days left on my tourist visa for Thailand ? This would be my 3rd re entering into Thailand.

Please share any updates or personal experiences.

Thank you. Picture is for attention.

Business meeting - visa type

Since I was few times in Thailand as an employee (with non-imm visa + workpermit) and as a tourist as well, my friend asked for my advice about what visa type he really needs for a casual business meetings in Thailand. I checked the latest immigration rules, I believe made in July 2024, but honestly Im a bit lost in this matter.

He does not own a business, he is a regular blue collar worker who was requested by his employer to meet some clients in Thailand from time to time.

Previously when I was applying for a job I got non-immigrant Visa + workpermit but I was literally hired by a company in Thailand. In his case he does not want to start a business nor being hired there, just a meeting once a month.

What I have read is that you can do some casual business activities on a tourist stamp on arrival but this seems a bit inconsistent between Thai Embassies in different countries (different explanations on their webpages).

So the questions is...does he need to apply for business visa or business visa + work permit or can use 60days stamp on arrival as a tourist? Getting invitation letter from Thai company is not an issue for him.

Basically he wants enter the Kingdom fully legally with all the proper paper work done but the current rules seems a bit unclear.

PS. He asked visa agency but they gave him some "outdated" answer I would say.

Appreciate your help in this matter.

Earlier in the year foreign clients of Kasikorn Bank received communication about Commonn Reporting Standard (CRS) and FATCA (for US citizens). There was a need to complete and submit forms.

Now Bangkok Bank has started the communication and it is predicted all foreign account holders of accounts in all banks will have to complete the forms.

The main question for DTV holders on the form is "Country of Residence" and "TIN" or if no TIN specific reason. This is for Tax Reporting to country of residence which Thailand signed up to.

Please do not shoot the messenger :-) :-)

Hey all, is there a time frame you have to enter Thailand once your DTV has been initially been approved?

Didn’t get an exit stamp in your passport?

This just happened to me and I didn’t see anyone addressing it so I figured I would.

I went through the digital immigration line at BKK and because of that I didn’t get an exit stamp.

I spoke with an immigration officer and they confirmed it’s all good.

I know it seems obvious but today is my 90th day in the country so I didn’t do a 90 day report and since I plan to enter and exit by motorbike at land borders in the future I just wanted to double check.

I’ve been to Thailand many times, I have a condo in my name and have a thai bank account. I’m still a year or two from retiring to Thailand full time. My last two entries were on a 30 day tourist Evisa for 30 days with 30 day extension and 5 months ago I entered on a 60 day tourist tourist Evisa with a 30-day extension. I heard there is a crackdown on tourist using multiple extensions and that I may be denied entry. About 3 weeks ago I was approved for another 60 day tourist visa and I wish to stay for 90 days. Should I just apply for a non immigrant o visa or take my chances with the extension either way is fine for me?

How long can I stay on tourist visa in Thailand? How many entries can I do?

Is possible to be there 180 days all together?

Thank you in advance
