For someone who once lived there, you seem remarkably ill informed about the current situation.. Please elaborate the circumstances you 'imagine' which could lead to the return of the status quo as we once knew it.
Just want to point out that for the self insurance part, the money ($100,000) doesn't have to be in Thailand. Also, if you have pension income of $80,000+ (?), then you don't need to have/keep any money in Thailand at all, for the LTR visa.
I am the OP. Was checked (and baggage) in all the way to Amsterdam at Phuket International Bangkok Airways desk. Given a CIQ sticker and told to go through immigration. However KLM flight was cancelled and had to spend 28 hours in BKK airport for replacement flight. Not allowed to leave airport as CIQ. Baggage did not arrive at my destination . Still waiting for it. Fxxing nightmare.
I am flying out to bkk on Bangkok airways then onward to Amsterdam (klm) same day.
do I check in at international or domestic terminal in Phuket?
I have no idea if my bag will be checked through to Amsterdam
Wait. I also got the piddly little 5 year permission to stay stamp in my passport at Phuket immigration coming from uk.
so I have a 10 year visa and 5 years permission to stay why do I need a multi entry permit? Is there the remotest possibility that I would be denied entry coming in and out with these documents?
Why is it a bad investment? I have over $100,000 in a time deposit paying about 5% a year. That is what I showed boi to get my approval.
I don’t have to show anything again for 5 years.
Mine says valid for 10 years. Length of stay 5 years. So I take that to mean there will be a review of your status/qualifications after 5 years. No mention of when I must make initial entry to Thailand, but I'm going in December.
