Yesterday I registered on Thai E-Visa System, today good news from you, I‘m not worried about coming to Thailand 🇹🇭😅😊everything going well, thank you and stay safe 🙏🏼🇹🇭
🛺 you are always welcomed
How do I access the E visa system?
The 60 days visa exempt stamp doesn’t seem to be happening since it said June 1st but many people entering Thailand now are still getting stamped in for 30 days
I agree with you,I came yesterday,I said it 60 days now,they said no? Only got 30 days,need to pay for another 30/days now.
1st, the rules are official and will be applied.
2nd, it needs around 2 to 4 weeks to be applied officially.
3rd, you can check the details on thai embassy official sites, which says what I mentioned here and in the vlog.
So there is no need to rush cheer up and it will be applied very very soon.
I am trying to come in 16 july but not sure if i need to apply for visa or ill have visa on arrival ( im moroccan) 🥲 so confused
@@faouzielbakristay in Morocco pls
I entered yesterday, 03/06, and was only given 30 days as a UK citizen, in Chiang Mai.
Looks like local offices will boycott these new changes too.
Very informative Arsen. Thank you. Very positive news .
My pleasure!
Thank you for keeping us updated 😍
My pleasure!!
Very informative, thank you for the info Arsen
My pleasure
My understanding is DTV validity is anytime within 5 yrs, however stay of upto 180 days for THB 10k which can be extended once for another 180 days for additional THB 10k. So total 360 days for THB 20k and showing THB 500k in bank account. Anyway let's see what final communication is
Lets wait
agreed..it reads like this
Thanks for sharing video.😄
Till the 60 day VOA is announced in the royal gazette then its not official ..
Very helpful hints & advice. Thank you so much for making and sharing
You are so welcome!
This is great news. Hope to see more travellers, less tourists now. Hope everyone enjoys the beautiful land of smiles consciously while respecting all the rules...
Welcome

Glad you liked it!
starting from when?
คุณทำคลิปได้ดีมากครับ ผมกดติดตามให้แล้วครับ😊🙏
Thank you for inporten information 🙏🙏
So nice of you
These changes are very welcome but there is another one super imporant thing that Thai government should do. They should impose strict rules on real estate agencies and regulate the greedy and often cheating agents that require 12 months or 6 months contracts for people on a 60+30 days tourist visas (or visa exempt countries), because it makes absolutely no sense that those real estate agents and agencies are asking people with visas valid for 60 or 90 days to commit on a 6 or 12 months long contract.
Finding a condo for a rent online (before arrival to Thailand) has become extremely difficult for all the people who cannot stay for 6 or 12 months. And let's face it, most of the people cannot stay for that long.
And staying in hotel for 3 months is outrageously expensive, as well as staying at Air B'n'B (for 60 or 90 days) which is as expensive as hotels, sometimes even more expensive than hotels. So what's the point of allowing people to stay 60+30 days in Thailand when they must sign one year contract with greedy agents and then lose money if they leave earlier? Those agents actually increase prices not only for tourists but also for local, Thai citizens. This is why Thailand is becoming more and more expensive, especially Bangkok. And we all know that condo owners would be very happy to rent their condos for 3 months as well at same price of 10k to 15k baht (for a small studio or 1 bedroom), but their agents want 6 or 12 months contracts to get higher percentage. As a final result a lot of condos stay empty and they would be easily rented for 90 days if agents are not that greedy.
So, at the end, what is better for Thailand tourism:
1. To allow people to rent condos for 60+30 days and then they will spend their money in Thailand anyway, on food, temples, excursions, travels, transportation, souvenirs, clothes, gifts etc., or
2. To keep renting very complicated because of greedy real estate agents to the point that people who can stay for 60+30 days will do the math and say 'Hey, that's a real rip off! For that much money I can go to Vietnam, Phillipines, Malaysia, Bali, Inodnesia or other countries, rent easily a condo for 2 or 3 months and enjoy my free time spending money on food, activities, excursions, trips etc.
Personally, I think that Thailand would benefit much more if renting a condo becomes more simple than it is now, without crazy 6 or 12 months requirements form agents. And tourists would feel more safe if they already know that they can search and rent a condo from their home countries and then get and sign a contract on arrival, obtain TM30 Form to avoid immigration problems when extending/renewing visa or travelling outside of country and everything else that is legally required from the government to have. Coming to Thailand without arranged place to stay, and then chasing condos around for days or weeks and possibly getting scammed is very very stressful and tourists will leave with a bitter taste and then next time likely choose another destination. After all, tourists travel to relax and have a good time, right?
Thanks Arsen!
@@mlgneo2855 Maybe 30 years ago. Try to find a condo online for a month or two or three months rent nowadays. No chance. His argument is very valid.
Thank you so much for t 11:16 he info. regarding visa. Very helpful.
I ll fly to Bangkok tomorrow🙂Thanks for the loads of usefull information🙂
Have fun!
Many thanks Arsen for the good news ❤
My pleasure
Thanks bro❤🎉😊
Hi,
Thanks for updeted.
What do you do if you want to stay longer?
If you apply, can you stay two more months?
I live here in Thailand and l am on the one year retirement visa, and every time l renew my visa l have never been asked to produce any sort of insurance, life or a health policy at my immigration office just proof of funds that is required i.e. 800,000 in a Thai bank account or 65000 per month income, and proof of my address. and then just do my online 90 day reporting, so l do not know where you get this insurance requirement thing from as my fellow expat friends have never had to have insurance for a retirement visa either🤔
my understanding as per the Thai embassy page is that if you apply for the retirement visa while in Thailand there is no insurance requirement, and it is only required if you apply for the visa in your home country or outside of Thailand. If I am incorrect, somebody please correct me.
where find the list?? getting visa when arrive in Thailand
Good to know 🙏🙏🙏
Welcome
Very useful vlog Bro👍
Thank you
🙏👌It's really good news for me and my family @livelovethailand Mr. ARSEN 🙏 Thank you so much for your VALUABLE Informative videos
All the best
If you're married to a Thai you get absolutely nothing. So ya this visa is good
I arrived in Thailand yesterday and I got a 30 day visa on arrival, but the arrival card that I have needed to fill out on my 100 or so previous times I entered the country is not needed
Very nice
Thanks
I still haven't seen any update on their official website or on local Thai embassy's homepage.
A lot of other TH-camrs were saying you could extend your 180'days by another 180 days. Really looking forward to more information to come out.
Only In 5 years twice
Kıymetli bilgilerinize teşekkür ederiz.🌹
Thanks for the updates, Arsen. I love Thailand i have been there on April 24 for days and I want to be there for about one month can you help me about this one and what I need to do .thanks again.
You can no problem
Thumbs up 👍 Arsen
Thank you
Hardly any news for retirees, you still have the biggest headache of the 90 days reporting , and the re entry visa . The yearly visa is understandable and a must to keep the undesirable out. But the 90 days and re entry can be automatic made with a card, or a simple bank application.
I agree
More answers more questions... but like you said let's stay positive!
My question is if you know ... what type of visa I need to apply to open an joined account with my Thai wife?
Marriage
Entering the Kingdom through air land/sea/air border checkpoints under Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme is permitted only twice in a calendar year, except nationals of Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, and Singapore who may enter Thailand through such checkpoints more than twice in a calendar year. (Source: Royal Thai Consulate-General, Los Angeles)
👍
By land and sea two times, yes. By air four times per year possible, their isn’t any rule which say it isn’t possible. If you stay not longer then 30 days at the moment.
Good evening,
So does this mean under the Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme, if I leave to visit another country within that 60 day period, by air, and return a few days later, do i get another 60 days on my return?
Hello! So this means that if I am from Romania I can get a visa on arrival for 60 days, confirmed ? And how much does it cost ? Before this update we only had the 15 days visa with the possibility of extension. Thank you in advance, all the best wishes !
great video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
So now indians can visit and Stay upto 60 days as it was only for 30 days before ??
I have applied for Single entry visa which allow us to stay upto 60 days but if it is free I can save my money ... ❤
Great vlog I’m keen for more info on the DTV ? Thanks
Coming soon!
@@LiveLoveThailand awsum thank you I want to know how I can apply for one and get it so can arrive in Thailand with it ready to go for September 👍
Very good news Arsen. My travel times are generally Nov or Dec. Must plan again.
Was in bkk last Nov. Happy SL is in vis exemption list
Happy holidays!
Great video thanks, can i ask guestion?
For usa citizen you know can come for 60 days which is great but can you leave and come back for another 60 days ? How many times could you do this in a year?
Dear friend, thank you for a very important video. I wanted to ask please. I have been living in Thailand for over 15 years on a pensioner O visa and every year I have renewed without problems. This year at the renewal they also gave me a form that says that when updating the address of the next 90 days I have to show them the bank book And I didn't understand why, if you could explain please, thanks🙏
I think it's not nesacary to do that but could be a new case
Please keep us posted. Wow that's new!!! On 90 day reporting???
What if I have visa on arrival for 30 days and then this was announced for 60 days.
What should I do? Thoughts?
Love Thailand and love your videos. Thank you
Thank you
9:51 is digital nomads. That's all I'm here for
I will use the digital nomad visa
Great
@@LiveLoveThailandhow do you get it?
Thanks👍 love from 🇮🇳
So nice of you
Thai insurance companies don't give you insurance over 65 -70 years old so where do they get insurance?
For the remote / DN visa 180 day max per year, would you be penalized if you leave TH after 179 days consecutive stay, and then return again after minimum of 6 months?
No consecutive stays not allowed
Gr8, thanks a lot 👌
Most welcome 😊
But how do we open Bank account before coming to thailand. What is the process?
Hi Arsen! What are the best course's to study in Thailand?
Thank you
English and muai thai
60 days VOA is not yet in effect, not one person have been granted 60 days upon entering Thailand as of June 01st, three friends have just tried and got the usual admission stamp 01 June 2024 and until 30 June 2024... either because it's not yet official, or simply because, well... TiT...
Calm down needs a week to be applied
@@LiveLoveThailand nothing to do with being calm, but - you, as someone who claims knowledge of Thailand - it's an idea to actually inform people that, unless confirmed through Gazette, nothing is official in Thailand. Been a week now, seen any 60 days stamp yet?
No change to visa regime on 1 June????
My first issue with the remote visa, the banks.. you need 500k bhat in a locak bank but to even open a bank account, you need a long term visa in place anyway dont you?
Well there is a way no problem
Which camera nd mic u use? Quality is awesome man 👍
Dji
Tweaks & changes to retirement O visa and non O A due soon too. I know the OA is reducing the level of insurance cover but what else .. wish 90 day be changed sometime too .. pipe dream I know 😅
Lets wait
So as european I can now stay 60 days in thailand without any visa ?
Hi All,
Is this new Visa rule effective or still in process of approval . There is so many different information every where, even the Embassy’s don’t have updated information.
Please advice.
Thanks
I got 30 days with my USA passport on June 6 arrived in Bangkok airport
At last! About the 60 days visa exemption: three questions: is it really already official or when will it be? Is it (also/still) available in 2025? Is the new 60 days visa exemption extendable, like the previous one was, and if so: for how many extra days: 30, 60? Thank you for answering these 3 questions.
Yes, it's official how long stays no one knows. Can you extend if it's pre stamped, not for the free visa, so you can extend one time if pre stamped
@@LiveLoveThailand thank you.
Thanks for the updates I am retiring and moving to Thailand next year
Arsen , it’s great news for a lot of people , I was planning a 3 month visit next month before I heard about the new visa changes , I want to know that if I stay for nearly 60 days , I was planing a visit to Indonesia for 10 days and then coming back to Thailand, will they give me another 60 days ?? I don’t know arsen , any ideas ?
Which country you are from
Thanks for sharing the information glad to hear that Sri Lanka also travel without a visa to Thailand
Our pleasure!
On June 1st the 60 day visa for US citizens was either approved or it was not. Which is it? Some are saying yes and others are saying no. ??? The answer is either YES or NO,,, NOT,, well it's complicated or the moon is in Saturn on the second tuesday of last week!!! I will arrive soon and it would be nice to know what to expect.. Thanks for your efforts..
Not yet applied
I have an Australian passport, and I’ve already been to Thailand twice this year and I wish to go back there again to see my girlfriend soon, do i need to apply for a visa? Because I’ve read that your only allowed two visits per year.
I am 18 years old, will live in thailand in september working remotely, can I only get a visa in arrival when I arrive in bangkok and stay for about 75 days and go from there right?
❤❤❤
I love your vlogs bro
You should have a million subscribers on usefulness alone. I used 90% of your info when I first started traveling to Thailand
My pleasure to help
I watched his videos to find original brands outlets lol.
Nice Thanks! I am hoping in September they have good news for who they are calling "elderly retired" 😉 Meaning the over 50 retired & also the married to a Thai woman retired in Thailand visa's 🤞
We shall see
I just saw a video saying that starting in June, Thailand will have a 60 day visa on arrival for certain countries *America included* Can you verify this?
I’m also curious about this.
It's included in the vlog
This already apply? 😮😮 I have a trip to Thailand in two weeks and I'm from Mexico so previously I had to get a visa on arrival, but now can I not go to the visa on arrival counter and go directly to immigration?
Check the list on thai embassy list
I’ll be seeking insurance for a company remotely soon. Does digital nomad still apply ? Thanks
The question is can you extend the 60 days for an additional 30 days or 60 days without leaving the country?
Will be clear next week
So now as a Swede I can go to Thailand for 60 days without visa, instead of previous 30?
Crossing land border from cambodia is only 30 days
Someone has not informed thai immigration at the airport because theybare stamping for 30ndays only and when wuestioned theybsaid they have no idea what i was telling them..i just retiurned from thailand yesterday after 30nday holiday
This is just a plan. It may start in July or may not roll out until late in the year. The information in social media is mostly inaccurate.
Do you have more info about the retire or elite visa????
Have entire vlog about elite visa you can check it
❤❤
❤️
Clever stay more spend more👌🏽
Yup
Seriously ? At the same time , anyone staying more than 180 days will be taxed on any money repatriated into Thailand . Lol
Any changes for the Belarusians? I am from Spain, married to a Belarusian, we want to go to Thailand but for now it is very complicated. Maybe I can get digital nomad visa and she will be able to come with me as my spouse? Waiting for the visa details, thank you
Sadly New Zealand seems to have been overlooked. I can't understand why. Thanks for the update anyway. I'm going to Thailand soon.
Why is that
I wish I knew. There seems to be no reason that we have been overlooked. Thanks for your videos. Always informative.
What bank for the 500 000 TBH, could I show them a foreign bank account which has a balance, which is good for 500 000 TBH
if you enter visa-excempt (60 days) can you extend it with another 30 days or not?
That's the question it will be clear next week
@@LiveLoveThailand Alright thanks! Hope you can make an update video once it all becomes clear :)
Can you talk about owning a property for a foreigner, and also about how to open a business in Thailand? Thank you
Noted
Could you help me with some info about the new visa free for Sri lankan passport holders. Kind of confused how the process is.
What will be the effective date for a sri lankan to arrive
Good news indeed. However, as for medical insurance on a "Retirement Visa". Yeah, how about if the Thailand Govt. offered it at a reasonable price? Hummmm........seamless visits to the Thai doctor and Thai hospital in my retirement. Think about how wonderful that would be.
Well hopefully soon
I will use elite membership
With the new 60 day stay on a visa exemption - can you still go to immigration and extend another 30 days (to a total of 90) - like you could on the old 30 day visa exemption stay (for a total of 60)? If there are no extensions for the 60 day stamp, it is no different than the 30 day stamp with the ability to extend 30 days. All that you gain is saving a trip to immigration and 1900 Baht. How many times in a year can you get a 60 day stamp. WIll border runs still be allowed? Will the number of times per year you can have a 60 day stamp be different if you re-enter by land or through the airport? Lots more questions my friend.. lots of questions.
All the answers coming very soon no worries
Hi ..!! Mr.. Thanks Lot for the video.I want to Clarify for srilanka Visa rules clearly. Thailand Embassy in srilanka not yet allowed Visa excemtion or free visa finalized from srilanka to Thailand.Please explain it.Thank you..!!
I like to know if the visa on arrival for the US is extended to 2 months
Yes 60 days
For DTV does the 500000 baht have to be in a Thai bank or is any bank acceptable?
I think thai baht will check the details next week
@@LiveLoveThailand ok
Hi can the 60 day visa be extended for a further 30 days
Will be clear very soon
Can we extend another 30 days the 60 days we get? So 90 in total?
Will be cleared next week
