Have clarified that as unfortunately not being an option under current circumstances,

Thanks, yes my local agent will be contacting me shortly re visa renewal or not as is the case. She should know the current legal situation re the possibility of a same day in out crossing and the query re being a few days within the current extension validity. I have been spoilt with the previous years of sadly departed Ubon Joe on here whos knowledge was unmatched. Thanks for your responses.

Yes, did misunderstand thought that was too easy and yep Im aware of all the12 month visa extension requirements. So do you know ?perhaps no real definitive answer being Thailand, can i go across the border and come straight back to Nongkhai on the same day? Or is their an official requirement you must stay out of country for a night?

Current circumstances unfortunately dont facilitate another extension. Thanks, not aware i could extend my current visa extension for 1900 baht at local konkhaen immigration. What are the stipulations how long do you get? that could be an ideal solution, no travel of border dealings. Thankyou

The point is, having had the relaxing luxury of an visa extension renewed usually a few weeks in advance for many years, the idea of waiting till the actual day of expiry to do a visa run is very stressful due to health issues that unfortunately fluctuate. This is also why i would wish to go over the border and come straight back if its allowed ? Thanks

Have been on a retirement visa for many years now, which is up for renewal very soon however Im not renewing it due to a change of circumstances. i will however need another month or so here until my exit. A border run to Nong khai would do the job, but can i go across and come back the same day or is their an actual official stipulation you must stay out of country for a night ? Also i wish to do this a few days in advance of my extension expiry date and return within that expiry date but with a 60 day VE stamp. As i have a re entry permit unused will the immigration officer insist on stamping me back in for just a few days of the remaining extension validity which would be a hopeless scenario or use common sense and apply the VE exempt 60 days? Thanks for any advice

Thanks for the information and just to get clarity as you seem well informed, its a five year visa with the proviso of maximum stay 180 days leave come straight back rinse and repeat if required for a whole five years with one local immigration extension at 1900 baht or 10k to be confirmed. Are the official qualifying requirements and documents needed for a consulate application listed anywhere? or still too early.

So Its 100% a multi entry 5 year visa for 180 day stays with one local extension at a cost of 1900 baht for a further 180 days.? For a total of 5 years visa validity you can remain in country, but with 6 monthly border runs, for a visa cost of 10 k baht. If living in Thailand with a current retirement visa extension coming up for renewal, is there any way of applying for the DTV without a return to your home country? Can the Thai consulates in Laos issue the DTV?

Which parasite cleansing medication is recommended? Thanks

Pop into MaiThai Guest house located in the South West of the city easy to locate. It has a food bar area by the pool great for lunch etc. The owner is an English guy who is a budding artist ,he has a wall full of paintings many available to buy at very reasonable prices, if none to your liking he would for sure point you in the right direction for other options.

Excellent reply couldnt have put it better myself other than an Im alright Jack <deleted>!! going to come crashing down from that lofty perch ..... when for sure Karma comes calling.

What was the need for a photo? totally awful journalism! Most people understand drowning and dont require the article illustrated like a kids comic.

Thanks, likely why the guy using privileged member had no problems.

Thanks for the info soon to book so should work just using my account name. Going to be using it in the UK, called the customer service to confirm activation ok for UK usage and up spending limit, she did warn of 2.5% transaction charge and low exchange rates, guess to be expected better than carrying too much cash until Ive set up a Uk account Wise etc seemingly not so easy to do.

You can film anyone in any public place but then showing that footage on social media without consent is now illegal, believe it was announced on a thread on here during the last year. But prostitution is illegal in Thailand so guess the thousands of vloggers are not too worried.
