How easy is extending from 30 day to 60 day tourist visa?

jaydevos 29d

Extremely easy

jaydevos 29d

Just get a TM30 from your landlord and the rest you can easily provide yourself :)

i just went online to apply for my DTV , after a long family holiday and see that all the rules have changed since august 31st and now you have to apply from your country of residence - but I am currently in Bali and headed to Cambodia and then Thailand - at the time, when i did my research you could do it from any country. Has anyone found a solution to this or how are people staying longer than the allowed 60+30 =90 days via the tourist visa. I booked accommodation for 6 months already😂

bohdandrozdov 27d

I am in similar situation except its not possible to apply form my home country

why you booked accommodation without visa??

leighb77 27d

Because the DTV was an easy application at the time and I didn’t think there was any problem

bohdandrozdov 27d

it was easy, but never a guarantee

leighb77 27d

True but i wanted to secure my accommodation as i will be there during high season

bohdandrozdov 27d

then apply online choosing your home country and proof of residency

quaid 26d

If you’re staying in one place for the entire 6 months you could enroll in a Thai language or Muay Thai school and get an ED visa for the full period and learn a new skill in the process. Otherwise I’d say back-to-back SETVs is probably the cleanest option

jeniapus 25d

i think you need to proof you are in your home country to apply

gurulanius 25d

Yes you do but that proof is really just a utility bill. To show you live there (i assume you're referring to applying for the DTV).

leighb77 25d

Not sure how true it is but apparently they have implemented location tracking and the use of vpns is not advised - so they can tell where you applying from but I don’t know for sure 🫡

My feedback, which might be helpful to some:

After living in Thailand for a few years on different visas, I returned to France to apply for the DTV after they changed the rules.

They kept asking me for proof of residency (tax notices, official residence certificates, etc.), none of which I had since I left France a long time ago.

I ended up uploading a letter explaining my situation, and a few days later, my visa was approved.

The whole process took about 3 weeks.

leighb77 24d

Thank you Chris I would also not have any of that for the UK

Hey Guys

Has anyone tried to apply for a DTV using their company account bank statement as a proof of funds in the sole proprietor of my company and legally the company and individual are the same in this case.

Was wondering if that works or does it have to be a personal savings account?

My friend told me I should stay in Nimman instead of Old City for Chiang Mai. What do y'all say? I want the social aspect of a coliving so I don't want to do a condo and I'm happy to pay a slight premium for the automatic network.

I was looking at booking Alt Coliving because of a recommendation I got here so that's why I was looking at Old City. Alt does look pretty solid. How are the other colivings in CM?

vishalbulty 21d

Chiang Mai is very small and safe
Anywhere near old city and Nimman is 10-15 mins by scooter

So even if you take a condo with some privacy, you can socialise.

Hey everyone! 😊 My partner and I are planning to spend around 3 months in Bangkok starting in November. Does anyone have recommendations for reliable and trustworthy ways to find apartments for medium-term rentals, other than Airbnb? Any reputable websites, Facebook groups, or local platforms you’d recommend?

Thanks so much! 🙏

lennie 21d

I agree on that, Nimman good for your first time

lennie 21d

I am in Krabi right now, does someone have recommendations for cheap coworking or good coworking cafés?

rasthemouse 19d

Tried, didn't work 😅

rasthemouse 19d

Was in alt Co living ping river for 1,5 months. Amazing stay and amazing people

byjonathanleung 19d

Thanks for this! How much can I trust listings on here if they are verified? Any good like not get scammed tips on Renthub—or even better—how to find the best gems?

jackkrone 19d

Anybody know of any good spots and/or cafes, restaurants, etc. with sunset views in Chiang Mai? Would love to organize a meetup!

jackkrone 19d

Or anywhere with a view, really! It can be a free coffee meetup, bc khtvyuqhzcbqk is offering $25 per meetup! So lmk ur recs!

jackkrone 18d

Not exactly but I would still love to know what you have in mind! I will probably adventure out that way soon

anyafaraway 17d

Where in Krabi are you ?

bruna 17d

I'd love that! Will be in Chiang Mai between 15/11-28/11

yahia 17d

I'm already in chiang Mai

yahia 17d

If someone is available today for meetup

yahia 17d

I'm Founder of medical education app

vishalbulty 16d

Anyone has experience living longer in Hua Hin? (More than a month)
How is it compared to CM? (And Phuket)

I am asking on these topics:
Safety
Crowd
Food
Cost
Weather
Ease of access to rides/rentals
Health/sports environment

markus 16d

I have a friend, also from Germany, who lives there.
I went many years ago and it was super boring.
It’s really close from Bangkok - just check it out

bruna 13d

Anyone in Pattaya or Koh Samet in the next 2 weeks?

grinio 13d

Can anyone in Chiang Mai recommend a good place to get an iphone battery replacement?

tristant 13d

I’d go to the apple affiliated one in maya mall. I did it at a cheaper place and my Face ID stopped working shortly after

d3nyaz 13d

I recommend Phrom Pong

flooone 12d

Anywhere rawai is great
Recommend near Naiharn beach

vishalbulty 12d

If you want a busier surrounding at night, then near rawai beach is a better option. Also, there is a local market which you might like for local food. Not too far from nai harn and the capes for hiking

vishalbulty 12d

Walkable: definitely yes, if you are asking about safety and infrastructure

You don’t always need a scooter
I met a german man, ~67 years old
He walked from the rawai beach to promthep cape and back

But if you want you always have the option for a scooter/car from the apps

vishalbulty 12d

https://maps.app.goo.gl/BDT9iBc3KLKLZvFu6?g_st=ic

This road is bustling throughout the day, there’s a mall, restaurants, cafes, convenience stores etc

And the views are very relaxing

Hello, I’am planning to go to Bangkok. Looking for a condo (short term lease - 3 months), do you have any contact/advice? Thank you in advance for your help

cigithoonsan 7d

Hey Mark Let's connect

tristant 7d

Anyone know if it's possible to request a 60 day visa online before entering Thailand? Or only possible to get the 30 on arrival and extend with 30 once in the country?

tristant 7d

And how easy is the 30 day extension process once in BKK

tonymonti 7d

can anyone help here? im also with the same question

valentinfclt 7d

When I did my 30 day extension 2 years ago I had to go to the immigration office at IT Square Lak Si and pay ~1900THB. It can be quite busy with a 2-3hr wait, depending on what time you arrive.

Maybe the process changed since then, so check online before going there: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4pGXXb5FAvYJD6nG7

cigithoonsan 6d

It depends on your nationality. mostly it's a Good thing if you apply for the 60-day visa before entering Thailand

Most Europeans and Westerners don't need to apply in advance, as they can enter under the visa exemption scheme, 60 days/ 30 days, with the possibility of extending for another 30 days.

However, the requirements and process can vary depending on your nationality, and some documentation may be needed.

My suggestion is to apply for a 60-day visa beforehand if you're planning to stay longer. It will save you the hassle and stress of having to visit immigration to extend your stay later.

cigithoonsan 6d

If you're Pakistani, Indian, or Bangladeshi, you cannot extend in thailand for tourist visa

tristant 6d

EU here. Yeah agreed way easier to apply for the 60 day online. I just entered on the 30 day, will leave for a week to Taiwan (for a holiday) and will then apply for the 60 day when I’m there to re-enter. Hope that works

tristant 6d

Shame they got rid of the 60 day online arrival like they had earlier this year

markus 6d

Any chiropractor recommendations in Sukhumvit, Bangkok?

grinio 5d

Where’s the best place to rent a motorbike for a few weeks in Chiang Mai? Or feel free tot all me out of it if you think I’m crazy.

vishalbulty 5d

They have reduced it to 30 days
You can still enter with just your passport

vishalbulty 5d

I rented one from the woman, who was maintaining the property that I had rented.
(2k thb for a month)

Most of the places should be fine. I don’t think there is well established brand or something, it’s just commoditised

srodriguez 5d

Literally came to ask this lol. Thanks!

I found an Airbnb for 2 months in Thong Lo but it's a 20 min walk to the Hive Co-working space. Def too much with Bangkok weather being what it is I would imagine

srodriguez 5d

Apply for the SETV or METV. I'm doing the METV through the DC consulate. Still early days so the status hasn't been updated.

damir 4d

Good info! Can a metered taxi be booked via grab?

No shady stuff?

carryondre 4d

Ten years ago nimman would’ve been the clear answer for a nomad. Now, I would say many other parts are just as good for a nomad - especially both alt locations. I’ve stayed at both alts, and now have a base in nimman. Nimman has more of a local lifestyle flair now and the nomad-scene is more spread out.

Any real estate agents who can help find a place for a fee?
