So i already book my flight (3 months) and my plan is to get tourists visa online for 60 days, and then once I am in thailand I wanna get a 30 days visa extension However from embassy they told me they can not guarantee I will be let in at the airport because my ticket will be with a date of return after 3 months and my visa will be 2 months. So now I fucked up my tickets flight are non-refundable so what can I do😕😕
@@Pokerrr You can buy a cheapie one way or return on a budget airline to a nearby country within that 60 day visa you have. ON arrival you should get a 30 day visa on return.
Missing from your video. At the Airport As soon as you arrive in Thailand with the pre-approved E-VOA, follow the steps mentioned below: Go to the Visa on Arrival area in the immigration area and enter the dedicated E-VOA lane Present your passport to the officer Get the final immigration approval and enter Thailand
Hey Skye, what about point 7? You glossed over it ☺️ confirmation of legal residence in the country you are applying for the visa. I am British? So, passport?
@@kevinwatterson9110 so if I arrive on METV then extend on day 25 I leave Thailand on day 90 then arrive back in Thailand again get another 60 days then I can extend again right?
@@Digseysyes that is correct, A multi entry visa is valid for 6 month , 60 days in Thailand then 1 extention =90 days you must now leave and can return to Thailand within the 6 moth visa period, when you return automatic 60 day visa then extend 30 days =90 days Now your up to 180 days 1n Thailand, But if you leave on 175 day and return same day ,You get another 60 day visa extend for another 30 days , so you have now stayed in Thailand 3 days short of 9 months ,But Don't forget whilst your away from Thailand day a ticking away ,So best to leave and return the same day,
Hello sky Are you still in Thailand and if so maybe you could make a new video I’ve heard they’ve changed the visa process since July 2024 Awesome video thanks a ton 👍🏼✌🏼🇺🇸
Hey, great video. Just one question - point 7.. what do I need to upload here? An English driving license? I’m from the UK and will be in the UK when applying for 60 day single entry
Thanks for the video! After the 60 day tourist visa expires and you cross the boarder do you have to apply for another tourist visa to get back into Thailand?
it is now 3 months you get 2 months when you arive once you are in the country you can aply for another 30 days then you need to leave the country then when you enter again you get 30 says visa on your passport then you can aply for another 30 days then leave again and come back to thailand you can only do this 2 times a year leave and come back .

It is called visa-exempt entry not Visa on Arrival as that is completely different. You get a free visa-exempt 30-day entry every time you enter Thailand. This can be done twice a year via land entry and virtually unlimited by air. You can extend each time you enter for a further 30 days at any immigration office for 1900 baht. Getting a tourist visa from a country you are not resident in can take up to a month.
Hi Skye! Thanks for this video. I just want to ask, in applying multiple visa is it okay if I submit the hotel booking for first 30days we're staying? or should we submit the booking confirmation for 60days? but of course we do have the return ticket already booked within 60 days.

How come no one ever talks about needing to buy a flight out of Thailand before you apply for the multiple entry visa ? So you buy and schedule the outgoing flight at exactly 6 months, then what happens if they decline your multi entry visa? They have already forced you to buy a ticket for that six month date.

If you apply for multiple entry tourist visa what do you put in to departure date as not sure where going next and what do you have to do when wanting g to return to Thailand
Hi Skye! Thank you for this helpful video. I have a question: I'm planning to apply for Single Entry Tourist visa and planning to stay just 7 nights. Should I provide 3 or 6 months bank statements? Thanks in advance! ☺️
You don't need a visa ,At Bangkok Airport your granted a 30 day exempt visa that lasts 30 days but you need to show onward travel out of Thailand within 30 days
Where does it say that you need a 3 month statement for a single entry? I believe it's just one month and as long as you have their money worth 20.000 thb you should be fine. Also they don't really pay attention to such nuances that much.
How do I verify that I am working with an authorized agent? Before I provide my PII or wire tens of thousands of dollars to places I want to verify that the agent is authorized by the Thai GOV, Thank you.
Hi Skye! We are trying to figure out if we can get a tourist visa without having a departure flight booked to leave Thailand. We currently have a one-way ticket, and we're planning on leaving Thailand 55 days from when we arrive, but we aren't sure where we want to go next! Do you think this will pose problems for us in applying for our visas? Thanks!
@@TrillzMMA We ended up buying an onward ticket to another country before we arrived in Thailand. Our ticket was a departure within 60 days of our arrival date. However, they didn't check to see if we had an onward/return flight when we arrived... customs was really a breeze. So you might not even need to buy an outward ticket before you get there but I still would. We did visa on arrival and didn't have to buy a visa or anything. We just showed up and they stamped our passport. We did have to go to the immigration office in Pai to extend our visa from 30 days to 60 days. Make sure you do this before the 30 day mark or you'll get a late fee. Or you can pop over into Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam etc and come back in.
Hi for step 5, you have too have proof of leaving the country in 60 days but if you plan on extending for 90 days what should you do? I dont want too book a return flight in 60 days and extended, rather book in 90 days.
I have this same question. We have booked a return flight that is 70 days out, as that is how long we wanted to stay. Are we going to have to change that flight reservation to have us returning in 59 days, or less, before we can apply for the visa? If we do that, then we have to change our ticket back to stay longer, after we get into Thailand. Changing the ticket, twice, gets expensive, and your seat options get more limited. Not a good route to go, if we can avoid it.
What should you do if you are not flying into thailand(crossing laos border) and dont have a return flight booked? And so unable to fill out travel booking conformation
Hi, I was wondering if u could explain to me about the from validity, to validity printed on my visa. My visa's dates don't correspond to my time of stay. My To validity is till the 16 July, but my flight out and hotel stay is till the 24th July. Plz help
If you don't know when you want to leave (for an METV), would I be able to book a one way flight and then return flights to a neighbouring country as proof of onward travel? Or do I need to book return flights from the UK?
Hi, could you please help suggestion. My bf ED visa will expire next week and we are planing to visit Laos ( we are currently living in Udon Thani). Can we apply for METV from Laos? (He is from Uk) Thank you very much :)
Hello Skye let's say i am 10 days vefore my visa (extension) expire and im still in thailand can i apply for a new tourist visa online so i xan just leave the country 10 days later and pop back in the same day?
Does it defo work when you write down "not needed" for the proof of who ur staying with? And employment could you just write unemployed not needed? Alot of people leave work to travel? Its very thai and annoying for a simple visa
if you are planning on doing a visa run or perhaps you just plan to ask for an extention, how are you supposed to provide a flight OUT of thailand for the visa application?
@@TrillzMMA it wasn't an issue for me, i just booked a 1 way flight for the tourist visa because that's what was reccomended by some thailand vet, in fact he said it hurts you if you provide evidence of a flight out, for whatever reason. So 1 way flight to thailand, and hotel booking (can just be for a few days thats fine) is enough evidence for the tourist evisa
If you are applying from the UK some of those questions do not apply now.Such as holding your passport and stamps of previous travel. And the declaration is signed automatically in your name you just have to confirm this.This is from October 23
Wrong, you DO have to have a photo of you holding the passport, I've just submitted an application, it's the photo of passport stamps that have gone and also having to print, sign and upload the declaration has gone
Can the intended day of departure be after 60 days? Im planning to extend the visa in Bangkok for another 30 daya so im planning to stay in bangkok for around 80 days. Thanks for the info u share!
@@SkyeSamuels but it is possible to book a flexible ticket for in that 60 day period and when im in bangkok after i extended my visa, i can change te date of the ticket? 😶🌫️😬
You must leave Thailand within 90 days , The only time that anyone can stay over 90 days is if you have a retirement visa trust me been doing Thailand for 20 years
Just applying and it has not asked me for copy of travel pages or a photo of me holding my passport. On the accommodation, I will be renting a condo, is this classed as Private Property, as it is own by a German national? Also under Private Property, it asked for a Thai contact number. My contact has a German telephone number, which I can not add. Do I use the Condo admin telephone?
Book a hotel that is free to cancel and use that booking for your visa. If you plan to extend your visa you must make sure the condo owner informs immigration, within 24 hours of your arrival, that you are staying in his condo using form TM30
@@MrJaggg88 if your tourist visa lasts 60 days, do i need to provide a hotel booking that spans 60 days when applying for the evisa? or can i just book a hotel for say a couple of days to a week and use that as accomodation details for the visa application?
Just adding to my previous comment.. on the 6 month visa do you still have to extend for 30 days after the initial 60 days (with a cost of 1900 baht)? And after 90 days you have to leave the country for a visa run to renew again for 60 days and again extend for 30 days (pay again)making it 6 months in total
You can extend 1 time 30 days , then leave Thailand Skye says you can return to Thailand and get 60 days (NO Correct) the only way you can get 60 days is by way of visa application for 60 days , on your return to Thailand with no visa you get 30 days by flight into Thailand or 15 days by land
@@JusKooolin well I believe today,now,.....just keep in mind that first you need to buy a plane ticket, you going to need to provide some flight information when you apply, I would make sure you have a Gap between you flight date and application approximately 10 days.
If I get my e-visa (60 days, single entry) how many days will I have to start my trip? Can I come to Thailand say in 3 month and still use my visa for 60 days staying?
Nice video but terrible site and me and my friend have been trying to use it for 3 hours now and all it days after repeatedly freezing is now they are working on maintenance, however do I need to do this before I enter thailand because we depart in less than 2 days so I'm panicking now
@@kick_rockss I just ended up getting a 30-day extension, left to Manila for a month to explore, and then came back and got another VOA 👍🏼 I believe the trick is to get your actual Thai TOURIST visa before you arrive (2 months) and THEN get the extension for the third. Are you already here on a VOA?

Hello skye help me out here I’m so confused about applying my visa for example on November 29 is where the day I leave my country then come back at February 12 -2024 and in visa website it said u can’t stay for less then 60 days how many months should I apply for ?
Only one option, apply online for a 60 day visa, near the end of 60 day visa go to immigration office and apply for 30 day extension, or you could visit another country and re-enter Thailand no more than 30 days before your flight home.
@@perryeg any country close to Thailand, day trip it's called a visa run. Most people extend their 60 days at local immigration office for 1900 baht, this can be done once. Then leave Thailand on a visa run, get granted 30 days on arrival, this too can be extended for 30 days. So that's 60 + 30 day extension, border run another 30 days, another 30 day extension. 150 days.
so I can stay for exactly 30 days without visa? I booked flight already and now I heard about this Visa thing. I will be LEAVING on my 30th day in Thailand.
Does visa starts from the day of entry or from the day they approve your visa? For example if I apply now but I book my flight in two months, as tickets are way cheaper buying several months in advance. Thanks

You don't need a visa ,At Bangkok Airport your granted a 30 day exempt visa that lasts 30 days but you need to show onward travel out of Thailand within 30 days
Where does it say that you need a 3 month statement for a single entry? I believe it's just one month and as long as you have their money worth 20.000 thb you should be fine. Also they don't really pay attention to such nuances that much.
@@studyobservation-rn3bm I have not said you need three months bank statement 👍😎✌
My bad
Do my wife and I need to apply individually for the Tourist Visa? Do we each need our own account or can we use one account?
How do I verify that I am working with an authorized agent? Before I provide my PII or wire tens of thousands of dollars to places I want to verify that the agent is authorized by the Thai GOV, Thank you.
Hi Skye! We are trying to figure out if we can get a tourist visa without having a departure flight booked to leave Thailand. We currently have a one-way ticket, and we're planning on leaving Thailand 55 days from when we arrive, but we aren't sure where we want to go next! Do you think this will pose problems for us in applying for our visas? Thanks!
i have same problem, what did you do?
@@TrillzMMA We ended up buying an onward ticket to another country before we arrived in Thailand. Our ticket was a departure within 60 days of our arrival date. However, they didn't check to see if we had an onward/return flight when we arrived... customs was really a breeze. So you might not even need to buy an outward ticket before you get there but I still would. We did visa on arrival and didn't have to buy a visa or anything. We just showed up and they stamped our passport. We did have to go to the immigration office in Pai to extend our visa from 30 days to 60 days. Make sure you do this before the 30 day mark or you'll get a late fee. Or you can pop over into Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam etc and come back in.
So if you get multiple visa that's 6 months but you have to leave Thailand and re enter every 60 days? I'm confused plz help
For accommodation type at 8:08, if I'm getting a condo on airbnb for 30 days which type would you suggest I put down?
Hi for step 5, you have too have proof of leaving the country in 60 days but if you plan on extending for 90 days what should you do? I dont want too book a return flight in 60 days and extended, rather book in 90 days.
I have this same question. We have booked a return flight that is 70 days out, as that is how long we wanted to stay. Are we going to have to change that flight reservation to have us returning in 59 days, or less, before we can apply for the visa? If we do that, then we have to change our ticket back to stay longer, after we get into Thailand. Changing the ticket, twice, gets expensive, and your seat options get more limited. Not a good route to go, if we can avoid it.
It keeps saying theres a problem with the website every time I try to upload my passport picture.
Hi do you know if an infant needs an SETV separately or can come with us?
What should you do if you are not flying into thailand(crossing laos border) and dont have a return flight booked? And so unable to fill out travel booking conformation
How many days we have to keep between traveling date and at the time of apply?
Hi, I was wondering if u could explain to me about the from validity, to validity printed on my visa. My visa's dates don't correspond to my time of stay. My To validity is till the 16 July, but my flight out and hotel stay is till the 24th July. Plz help
If you don't know when you want to leave (for an METV), would I be able to book a one way flight and then return flights to a neighbouring country as proof of onward travel? Or do I need to book return flights from the UK?
yeah, how did you get around this problem?
@@TrillzMMA Just book a one way to thailand and another return flight to a neighbouring country. I did Malaysia.
@sunjayroy312 basically 2 separate bookings? 2 one way flights. Too Thailand then too neighbouring country?
Hi, could you please help suggestion.
My bf ED visa will expire next week and we are planing to visit Laos ( we are currently living in Udon Thani). Can we apply for METV from Laos? (He is from Uk)
Thank you very much :)
I'm here in Thai from the UK I can stay for 45 days but would like to stay 3 months can you please help.
Hello Skye let's say i am 10 days vefore my visa (extension) expire and im still in thailand can i apply for a new tourist visa online so i xan just leave the country 10 days later and pop back in the same day?
Hey! Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that, you’d have to apply for a new tourist visa in whichever country you go to after Thailand 😀
You could also do the visa exemption (if your eligible) and you get 30 days + 30 extension 🤷♀️
Does it defo work when you write down "not needed" for the proof of who ur staying with? And employment could you just write unemployed not needed? Alot of people leave work to travel?
Its very thai and annoying for a simple visa
Exactly 😀 or just upload a document e.g. passport just as a placeholder, it’s fine!
if you are planning on doing a visa run or perhaps you just plan to ask for an extention, how are you supposed to provide a flight OUT of thailand for the visa application?
You have to buy a throw away ticket or dummy ticket or maybe even a ticket that you can extend the date on and actually use it that suits 🤷♀️
thanks for the reply, does it have to be a flight i heard someone say they used a bus ticket@@SkyeSamuels
@@lenseofficial hi I have same issue, what did you do?
@@TrillzMMA it wasn't an issue for me, i just booked a 1 way flight for the tourist visa because that's what was reccomended by some thailand vet, in fact he said it hurts you if you provide evidence of a flight out, for whatever reason. So 1 way flight to thailand, and hotel booking (can just be for a few days thats fine) is enough evidence for the tourist evisa
If you are applying from the UK some of those questions do not apply now.Such as holding your passport and stamps of previous travel.
And the declaration is signed automatically in your name you just have to confirm this.This is from October 23
What format do all the documents have to be, jpeg or pdf?
Wrong, you DO have to have a photo of you holding the passport, I've just submitted an application, it's the photo of passport stamps that have gone and also having to print, sign and upload the declaration has gone
Are you from the UK?@@ant2312
I will be posted an update soon 😀 thank you!
Hi the return flight details do I have to book a return flight if I am going to border crossing
yes you aqlways need a return flight to get the visa
If the expiration date Can I come and request an extension?
Can the intended day of departure be after 60 days? Im planning to extend the visa in Bangkok for another 30 daya so im planning to stay in bangkok for around 80 days. Thanks for the info u share!
Hey, yes it can “actually” be but for the application they require 60 days…makes no sense because you can extend it but rules are rules 🤷🏼♀️
@@SkyeSamuels but it is possible to book a flexible ticket for in that 60 day period and when im in bangkok after i extended my visa, i can change te date of the ticket? 😶🌫️😬
Exactly 😀 or buy a dummy ticket!
@@SkyeSamuels thank you! 😁
You must leave Thailand within 90 days , The only time that anyone can stay over 90 days is if you have a retirement visa trust me been doing Thailand for 20 years
Just applying and it has not asked me for copy of travel pages or a photo of me holding my passport. On the accommodation, I will be renting a condo, is this classed as Private Property, as it is own by a German national? Also under Private Property, it asked for a Thai contact number. My contact has a German telephone number, which I can not add. Do I use the Condo admin telephone?
Book a hotel that is free to cancel and use that booking for your visa. If you plan to extend your visa you must make sure the condo owner informs immigration, within 24 hours of your arrival, that you are staying in his condo using form TM30
@@MrJaggg88 if your tourist visa lasts 60 days, do i need to provide a hotel booking that spans 60 days when applying for the evisa? or can i just book a hotel for say a couple of days to a week and use that as accomodation details for the visa application?
@@lenseofficial No just the first day will do
Just adding to my previous comment.. on the 6 month visa do you still have to extend for 30 days after the initial 60 days (with a cost of 1900 baht)? And after 90 days you have to leave the country for a visa run to renew again for 60 days and again extend for 30 days (pay again)making it 6 months in total
You don’t have, you can leave every 60 days but this is an option too😀
You can extend 1 time 30 days , then leave Thailand Skye says you can return to Thailand and get 60 days (NO Correct) the only way you can get 60 days is by way of visa application for 60 days , on your return to Thailand with no visa you get 30 days by flight into Thailand or 15 days by land
@@kevinwatterson9110 He is talking about a 6-month METV so he will get another 60 days on re-entry
Once your visa gets sent to your email what do you do next? Do you just show the email of the visa at the airport
Print it out, and keep PDF format on your phone, they'll ask you when you arrive
@@studyobservation-rn3bm thanks mate. How early can you apply for it?
@@JusKooolin well I believe today,now,.....just keep in mind that first you need to buy a plane ticket, you going to need to provide some flight information when you apply, I would make sure you have a Gap between you flight date and application approximately 10 days.
@@JusKooolinno more than 90 days from your arrival date
If I get my e-visa (60 days, single entry) how many days will I have to start my trip? Can I come to Thailand say in 3 month and still use my visa for 60 days staying?
You will get this on arrival at the airport correct?
no they send it to your email adress
Nice video but terrible site and me and my friend have been trying to use it for 3 hours now and all it days after repeatedly freezing is now they are working on maintenance, however do I need to do this before I enter thailand because we depart in less than 2 days so I'm panicking now
Do you have to send proof of accommodation for the full 60 days stay? because I've only booked the first 3 nights.
just proof of your first stay will do

What do I do if I'm already IN Thailand on a 30-day visa exemption?
Get a 30 day extension
Following. What did you end up doing?
@@kick_rockss I just ended up getting a 30-day extension, left to Manila for a month to explore, and then came back and got another VOA 👍🏼
I believe the trick is to get your actual Thai TOURIST visa before you arrive (2 months) and THEN get the extension for the third.
Are you already here on a VOA?
Hello Sky I got residence permit do I need visa for Thailand 🇹🇭 please ??
Is it supposed to say “payment pending” on the application??? Or should it say processing. I’m so confused by this.
Did you get an answer?

Hello skye help me out here I’m so confused about applying my visa for example on November 29 is where the day I leave my country then come back at February 12 -2024 and in visa website it said u can’t stay for less then 60 days how many months should I apply for ?
Only one option, apply online for a 60 day visa, near the end of 60 day visa go to immigration office and apply for 30 day extension, or you could visit another country and re-enter Thailand no more than 30 days before your flight home.
👆thanks Jeff! 😀
@@perryeg any country close to Thailand, day trip it's called a visa run. Most people extend their 60 days at local immigration office for 1900 baht, this can be done once. Then leave Thailand on a visa run, get granted 30 days on arrival, this too can be extended for 30 days. So that's 60 + 30 day extension, border run another 30 days, another 30 day extension. 150 days.

hi there. what if i book 3 different hotel?
There’s no examples here can you not show or say what that would be? How do I prove I’m a uk resident surely that’s just my passport?
so I can stay for exactly 30 days without visa? I booked flight already and now I heard about this Visa thing. I will be LEAVING on my 30th day in Thailand.
Yes you can!
So the 45 day stamp on arrival (visa exemption) is gone ?
Yes went back down to 30 at the end of March
Am somalian trader i want to buy goods from Thailand companies so which type visa is suitable to me in order to come Thailand 🇹🇭?
Does visa starts from the day of entry or from the day they approve your visa?
For example if I apply now but I book my flight in two months, as tickets are way cheaper buying several months in advance. Thanks
The visa is valid for 90 days when issued but does not start until you actually stamp into Thailand and then your 60 days start
What if you are planning to leave Thailand by land?
you can land fly so on
How long does it typically take to get approved?
3 - 7 days. Allow for busier periods such as more applications being put in before high season
So i am traveling for 8-10 days i dont need any visa?
Depends where you’re from 😀
I am going there for less than 30 days, do I need a visa?
30 day visa exempt at airport no need for a visa
@@kevinwatterson9110depends if his country is eligible for 30 day visa exemption, not all countries are
