Hello, Where/what travel agency would you recommend in Bangkok to get a reservation for an airticket for the purpose of applying for a Schengen visa for a Thai national? So just a reservation for an airticket, not a booking (i.e. fully paid ticket)? Either in Sukhumvit area or Huay Kwang area. We plan to apply for a Schengen visa for my girlfriend and need to show an airticket reservation for that. Thanks for any advice.

@TallGuyJohninBKK Thanks. I will only be in BKK for 4 weeks, so hope it can be done before I leave. Already planning and preparing as much as I can before leaving in a few weeks. But I understand we might have to shop around a bit.

I also plan to get married my coming visit, meaning only at the amphur, or khet. Already made an advanced appointment at my embassy for my affidavit. My girlfriend told me that the Bangrak amphur is easy, in that one can walk in without appointment and get married, as long as you have all the required documents. She bases this on some Thai blogger who recently got married with her foreign boyfriend (this year). However, one the earlier post in this thread suggests otherwise. Anyone know which amphur/khet is easiest in or around Bangkok, meaning quickest? Or is it easier outside Bangkok? I also understand that you need a total of 2 witnesses, and if your witness can speak both English and Thai, there is no need for a separate interpreter. I understand that I need: - Affidavit to marry + certified copy of my passport (- to get the affidavit from the embassy I need a declaration of marital status from my homecountry municipality) - both these two documents then translated to Thai and legalized by Thai MfA - original passport - one witness She needs: - original passport - house registration book (she was never legally married before) Sounds about right?

Thanks for the replies. I know about the official fund requirement, but I've never been asked to show any funds either, during all my past arrivals to Bangkok. Good to know there are not any other requirements. Thanks again!

Hello all, What are the current entry requirements for Thailand, entering in April 2023 as a tourist from Europe, staying 28 days? Any specific requirements, or just hop on a plane and get a visa exampt (now back to 30 days) upon going through passport check? Thanks!

Thanks. Will just go and see what happens.

Hmm...I don't have one. My flight out is on the 9th, but I have to stay longer. This is why I have to try and get a Covid extension. Once I have that, I can change my flight out. What are the odds they will ask for it? Maybe a "throw away" ticket to Singapore? ????

Thanks. I would only need about two extra weeks, so if they give me 60 days, it doesn't matter much on what day those 60 days start.

Thanks. I believe it connects with the MRT Bang Sue station.

Thanks Ubonjoe and DrJack So basically I check the second box and all is fine and no questions asked: Will give that a try then. Already saw they open again on Monday 1st August. Another question: last time I was on 30th June, I used a taxi, but I saw that there is some BTS station right there at IT Square. Which station is that? Is it in operation? Dark Red Line? What BTS/MRT station does it connect to, coming on Sukhumvit Line from?

Hi Ubonjoe, thanks. And the reason can be ..... anything? ???? I am just wondering because there isn't really a compelling Covid related reason for most applicants. They really don't check for that?

As I might have to (again) extend my stay in Thailand (in connection with applying for passports for my kids) what is required to get the Covid extension at Laksi? Same as for an extension of stay on visa exempt entry? How much is the fee and where could I download the application form in advance? Are these extensions granted regardless/no questions asked? I am currently on an 30 day extension of stay on visa exempt entry. Many thanks!

I did the extension at Laksi last 30th June. I brought the printout of online receipt of notification, but was not asked for it. Be sure to have copy of your passport ID page, and page of relevant entry stamp, and copy of TM6. And a passport-sized photo 4x6 cm. Also, download the TM7 Extension form (see attached) and have this already filled in when applying. Oddly enough I was asked to write down Thai phonenumber on the form. I got there somewhat early , just before 10.30 hrs, and got my passport back at about 11.45 hrs. Note that they take a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00 hrs. TM7 Extension Form.pdf

Update: I met the lady that actually owns this place and she kindly offered to just do the report online again on your mobile and took me through it. This time the details are correct. She will give me a screenshot of the receipt once received. She did tell me she only has access to the reports she's done and the receipts for 7 days. So at least I will have a correct screenshot to take to Laksi.

Thanks for the advise. I think I will just try it first with what I do have, and hope they don't ask for TM 30, and otherwise show the screenshot.
