Thailand's New VISA Rules: What You Need To Know

[@socialmoravec]

Russians may eventually be reduced from 60 days to 15 days. 😅 Sounds good to me!

Since Olga and Svetlana are unaffordable to you, you’ll have to settle for Soi 6.

Definitely a good move forward by the Thai government and hope they get a good response from it 👍 Cheers Ciaran for the explanation and update ! I actually got an update also from the UkGov site on the 60 days visa free 👌all the best and keep in touch 🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Darryl_Smith]

Can you please provide the Royal Thai Gazettte link please? Cannot see where you placed it as promised I have checked on their site and cannot see it. If your interpretation is correct than this is the best news for so many people.. Many thanks

[@ThomasWrightCanada]

Very well explained Ciaran.

Malaysia 90 days, Taiwan 180 days, Korea, 180 days, Japan 180 days..., Thailand 60 days. Well it is small, first step in right direction. Long overdue.

Sorry going to Malaysia I wouod get 180 day lol

[@danielbartlett1710]

DTV is the greatest visa initiative they’ve made in the countries history IMO

[@fx-studio]

Nope, that's the 2 year, no questions asked, free to run your own business, healthcare thrown in one they give to illegal immigrants from MOU countries for $180. And the bonus is you can get everything from bank accounts to super bikes and trucks on credit with that one as well!

[@kippsguitar6539]

Excellent clarification, thanks for this video

[@StanleyStuart-e3v]

Give it three months or four if your lucky then back to 30 days

[@scy7697]

Great visa.... encourage you to stay over 180 days a year. So that you can be their tax contributors

[@DamienYuen7718]

179 days per year is good for me. 😂

The portfolio is basically when IT professionals have a LinkedIn and or a Github the likes, that can showcase some projects worked on. Finally, I'm glad the Thai Government has taken people as myself into that list. Thanks for sharing

[@ATLsOwn]

Great Vid! Where are the links for the document and website? Did I miss those?

[@mangostickyrice555]

Thumbs up 👍 Thai Expat

[@Swenser]

Also DTV visa for medical can only apply outside of Thailand but hospitals only give documents when inside Thailand. It's a catch 22. Impossible to achieve.

[@MrTupeloFlash]

Well explained - Thanks

[@zodn921]

You didn't post the link to the PDF as you mentioned in this video mate.

[@AmiraCelonOracle]

Hi I csn't find the links for the visas

[@johnnybgood3909]

Fee is 10,000 baht for each 180 days is the way i read it.

[@fivebats10]

Yeah me too, if you leave and come back within the first 180 days you wouldn't get a new 180 days, just continue with the first visa, and then pay 10000 Baht after 180 days to get the extension .. and repeat

[@simpleisthebest73]

Do I have to have any type of long term visa in order to stay in Thailand for as long as I want? Since the new Thai visa rules allow me to stay in Thailand for 60 days on each entry. I wouldn't mind going in & out of the country every 60 days, unless I never want to leave Thailand. Why would I bother getting a retirement visa while I still have to do a 90 days report, and 1 year extension with all the fees and hassles.. I am lucky that I opened a Thai bank account many years ago while I was staying in Thailand with a ED- Visa. I just turned 50 years old last year. So, I decided to move to Thailand, and here I am. I just came to Thailand last month on June 24th 2024. I just moved into a condo with a 1 year lease contract, and got my new phone, and a new re-issued ATM card from my Thai bank account. I'm all good to go! I was in the middle of considering whether I should apply for an None O- visa or not since now that we are allowed to stay here for 60 days.. . Please tell me your thoughts. Thank you! BTW, love your channel 😊

[@martinworkman6670]

How long do you need to have 500,000 Thai Baht in your bank account before applying for the dtv visa?When first applying for the retirement visa, you need the money in your account for at least two months before application.

[@Nicolettidaniel]

Hey brother, so if we leave and come back, we get another 60 days?

[@DaysOfFunder]

Packing my bags.

[@rodrickjuliusfrancis3642]

Hi, when will it start and date. I am only going for 7 days. Thanks

[@MichaelG-j3p]

DTV? 500K? A step in the right direction, but 500K is a NO-GO. They may not let you leave Thailand without paying tax.

[@farmnfancy]

You skipped the sponsorship route, which means someone else having the money or guarantee your stay while in Thailand, right?

[@TheRealDermatologist]

so some people have said its only 180 days per 5 years and can renew once.. whats up?

[@rodrickjuliusfrancis3642]

Hi, which one to click and apply

[@workhardplayhard7610]

What if you don't have a registered company or contracts with anyone but just work online as a freelancer taking payments through wise etc? I am a recruiter so I don't have any portfolio apart from messages on various platforms organising interviews. Is that enough evidence?

[@Jon.......]

Interesting that they did NOT include the term "self-employed" ! So it seems that you could spend nearly 5 years in Country simply by going out of Country every 6 months for a Visa run. But I did read elsewhere that each annual extension will cost you another 10K Baht, so 60K Baht over 5 years (~ $1 USD per day). Also interesting is that the graphic (image of Thailand) in the "Where to Apply" section points out Phuket.

[@StanleyStuart-e3v]

Pushing air fare price down is tue golden ticket

[@santorini8423]

can i go to Thailand for up to 60 days then leave for a few days and come back for 30 or 60 days without applying for a visa? flying in and back and have uk passport

[@MJFUTURISTICSTRAVELS]

Im not able to find the link to the PDF

[@jpdurr]

you did not provide the links that you said you would in the video.

[@StanleyStuart-e3v]

This news could push the price of flights up cause the airline thinks there staying for longer and less sickly to come twice a year which alot of people do

[@glennmartin4232]

Yes, this visa is fantastic all though the devil may be in the small print in regards to eligibility

[@philmurphy007]

Hi DTV do you have to still report your address every 90 days thanks PHIL

[@philmurphy007]

Can I really stay 180 days and leave for a few days and return and get another 180 for a total of 5 years ?Thanks phil

[@Abadii87]

How much to have a mauy Thai class ? And how to have a proof or letter from them ? To apply for this visa Anyone could help ?

does this include land crossings

The visa may believe scheme still lacks or just hoovers up…if you know what I mean…

[@stevenobinator2229]

Its 17,000 baht in canada cost, very high NOT 10,000bhat

[@ITravelSale]

Your excange rate is wrong 500K baht is USD 13,880

[@limirl]

I don't see this DTV being the golden chalice like people seem to think it will be. They will realize eventually how it will be taken advantage of and either discontinue or amend it where it will be worthless. They never seem to think things through just like the cannabis legislation.

[@ClownWorldHONKHONK-yj5sn]

I'm confused about the DTV 5 yr visa vs the elite visa for 5 yrs. Do I understand this properly. I can stay in Thailand for 180 days, leave for 1 day then reenter and stay for another 180 days? and do this over and over again for 5 years. Or is it I can only stay for 180 days in Thailand in a given yr? From what I understand, I can only stay 180 days in a given yr. Which is not that good if I want to live full time.

[@fernando-7770]

After 60 Days an extension of another 30 Days (just as previously) ????? And then 2 x Border runs (as previously)???? That would end up in much more than the allowed 180 days of stay per year without a visa. So we can be sure, that the extension will be canceled or the border run will be limited to 1 time!

[@sarlina1]

1. There is no maximum 180 days rule. Thousands of expats stay longer than that as a tourist every year. This is up to the discretion of every immigration officer, and your passport history. 2. The 60 days visa exemption can be extended with 30 days. That is confirmed.

[@ricovalentino1759]

Hello am I right in saying that you can extend your visa by 30 days at immigration twice and extend by 30 days border run twice? Much appreciated if anyone can confirm I will be on the 60 day entry with my passport Thanks

[@StewartShires]

Uk 60 days nice one 😊

[@macmusica]

So UK: "Visa requirements If you are arriving by air or land you can enter Thailand without a visa (visa exemption) for the purposes of tourism, business engagements, urgent or ad-hoc work for up to 60 days. For more information, read the Thai government’s guidance on visas."

[@jimcraiggeezer]

Hopefully they overhaul the retirement and marriage visa to make it easier going forward.

Two days and no one notices the glaring spelling mistake in the thumbnail?

[@ThaiExpatDailyShow]

Me too but oh well. But we all make mistakes and that’s called life.

[@danewesterdahl3451]

tourists don't stay 30 days, let along 60. Calling this a big deal for tourism is misguided. Call them what they--long term stays

[@ThaiExpatDailyShow]

I beg to differ on that. I know plenty of people who come to Thailand for 4 to 6 weeks every year. It gives people options.

[@TheGeddi]

@danewesterdahl3451 you may not be aware but I’m in the bracket you are referring to and doing 60 & 90 days as a tourist and this announcement looks to be good news for the future and far from misguided tourism considering they were hit so bad during the pandemic !

[@Swenser]

Already heard one chap rejected as stock trader. I think many will be disappointed

[@ThaiExpatDailyShow]

I saw a guy recently got one and he posted it on Twitter. The rules and how you prove it are very, very vague and if you look up any embassy, there’s no real information on what they will accept.

[@StanleyStuart-e3v]

Not really bothered cause I have three passports

[@TheRealDermatologist]

how does that change coming in /out? pls let us know

[@StanleyStuart-e3v]

So I thought Thailand was going to rely less on tourism. Also just want to say most people said I was talking crap when I said alot of companies manufacturing was leaving Thailand well the figures are in over 2 thousand major manufacturing companies have left Thailand

What 'figures are in'?
