Mr.T is still my choice..Me and all my friends use him and no probs. Used him yesterday for 2 BKK trips and an airport run today...Did notice that his landline no longer works

I think for the purchase of a condo Tony at Magna Carta will make you feel comfortable and can get the job done with no issues. He will research the property prior to you putting down any money and will make sure there is nothing that can go wrong.

You can always go to a hospital to verify the findings at Lifecare if you get back a result that seems out of the norm..that is what my Dr. recommended. 2nd opinion if you will

Immigration at the airport will stamp her passport with the number of days allowed (permitted to stay stamp). She does not have to go to an immigration office to find out how many days she gets. I think she will probably get 60 days.

They want to stay for 90 days...if they get 60 can any immigration office give her an extra 30...bogota consulate said BKK Immigration only could do the inerview in spanish

It is really difficult trying to find out how long she will get on entry.

Surely the Bogotar Consulate should know the exact amount of days.

Whether it is 60 or 30 days Immigration in Thailand will give 30 days extension.

It might be possible to leave Thailand and get another Visa at a Thai Consulate in a neighbouring country.

That is possible for most Nationalities.

With Colombians I have no idea.

Yes one would think the cosulate in Bogota would have an exact number but they said its up to thai immigration. Ny friend is just trying to make plans to visit other countries and this is making it very difficult. He has a flight here and and flight back to colombia 90 days later..its just how long he can stay and if she will be able to get re-entry that is causing the uncertainty.

Thanks..I guess that is why the lady at the Bogota consulate could give no exact days associated with this stamp..up to thai immigration at that point. My friend is wanting to stay here 90 days and wants to travel to Phils,Angor Wat..this visa would not enable that because of the single entry..I adivsed him to head to BKK when he lands and go to immigration immediately for the interview and see what they will or will not do..then he can plan his 3 month stay accordingly...good advice??

Thanks...that information is really valuable. The lady at the consulate in Bogota did not offer that info nor does it state at time period on the stamp..besides being used before April 22

I now see when I zoom in on the stamp it does say tourist visa..just no info or dates with it

Some embassies just stamp the visa into the passport, from your last comment Iassume that she has been granted a tourist visa.

You could also scan that page so we could confirm my statement.

Tourist visa usually cost usd40.- per entry.

Thanks..the stamp is now posted on this thread..comments are welcome

here is the stamp..i hope

I think we need more info or to see the stamp they put in her passport.

Also from info I have found there is no Thai embassy in Columbia. Columbia is under the embassy in Lima Peru.

There is however an honorary Thai consulate in Bogota. Source: http://www.guidetoth...on-americas.php

Honorary consulates do not normally put stickers for the visa in passport just a stamp. But it should still state that it is a tourist visa with issue and expiration dates and of course info about the issuing consulate.

Yes, you are correct. The stamp is from the Royal Thai Consulate in Bogota..Its just a stamp with no specifics..It was sent to my skype and I cant figure out how to post it..I am technically inept..I asked my friend to email to me so I will try and and post it..but it has no info. They told him she would have to go to BKK immigration where there is a spanish speaking person and they will decided on the length of stay she will be eligible for. At the time of the stamp they would give no times or guarantees..just a stamp for single entry

I tried to paste/copy the picture of the stamp from the Bogota thai embassy..no luck will try again...thanks

That should be a Tourist Visa giving a stay of 60 days.

It can be extended by 30 days at immigration for a fee of 1,900 Baht.

Yes the girl needs a Tourist Visa before leaving as she will not be allowed on the flight without one.

They will not give her a visa..its just a stamp that says "single entry" thats it

My friend now has a single entry stamp from the Thai Embassy in Bogota, Colombia it just isnt specific and has no time/day stamp

I have a friend who carries a US Passport and lives in Colombia with his girlfriend. They were at the Thai Embassy in Bogota today and they will not issue the girl a visa. They are saying that she can get a permission to enter Thailand at the airport and then go to BKK Immigration for another interview to examine the possibilites of a 90 day visa. They are just coming here for a 90 day holiday and are uncomfortable flying all this way with no visa in hand for the girlfriend. Any suggestions ?? Can the colombian enter with the 30day permission to stay...extend for 15 days...leave the country and come back and get another 30 days and another 15 day extension..that would get her the 90 days..Seems the whole prob is due to Colombia being on a "watch list" because of drugs..that is what they told him at the Thai Embassy

fascino has it...pattaya nua next to pattaya city hall or pattaya tai between tukom and 2nd rd..across from the big temple

A trip to the Phils is usually a good way to lose weight, as the food just isnt something most of us find to be tasty. Ive had some decent sushi as well as Italian food in Manilla..but overall its always a challenge to find a good pinoy meal

There is one shop on Theppasit near that elephant ride/atv rental place. They did some work for me that was sub-par...I took the re-upholsted chairs back and they were happy to redo them with some new, better quality foam. The are nice people and do a decent job...I prob would just wait it out if you can

I will be there..any ideas of the hours of the show

Rin Kitchen is very good..they have also moved to a new location next door to the old one and its very nice. Pupen also great

Listen to the referral to Dr, Mason at Bumrungrad...Dr. Panya at Bumrungrad is also recommended. If money is an issue than the Queen Sirikit Hospital in Sattahip has an orthopedic department and it will be much less money and probably ok..depending on the severity of the damage

I never could understand why we can't quote the first post in a thread.......or why Internet savvy members can't use Google ?
