doing 3 0r 4 visa exempt entries with 30 day extensions is possible, but no one can guarantee that immigration will allow that many entries, it's a gamble on each entry you attempt

the same thing happened in Malta last year with Canadian cars, and years ago with Uk registered stolen cars. cars were bnot as exotic as the Thai ones. So not that hard to fool customs etc.

been watching too many police thrillers, you think they would cctv camera follow you back to your house

you need travel insurance issued in UK, Thai insurance will be no good, look at big cat insurance can be taken out whilst already travelling as well as before travelling

I don't think extensions have changed still 30 days, only visa exempt has changed to 45 days after the 1st Oct as to ed visa's etc, lots of things done by agents, so maybe they can sort one out, but it will cost, almost as much as a flight to UK

i would have thought a steel reinforced 12cm base would be overkill to park motorbikes, but they could be really big bikes.

converting a visa exempt or tourist visa to a non-immigrant visa would only give you a 90 day permission to stay stamp on issue, not a year

you are doing a 'visa renewal' visas cannot be renewed, what you are doing is an extension of your permission to stay, there have been not changes in requirement for 'married' yearly extensions for a number of years

2 x 45 day visa exempt entries and 1x 30 day extension will give you 120 days, stay a couple of days in the nearby country where you do the border bounce and your good to go. you may need a flight out with 30 days of arrival to keep airline happy. a night in a hotel that will do a tm30 registration to keep immigration happy for the extension.

why do people post this unhelpful message, this forum is to help people and someone as shown above will have the information, no need to go to an immigration office which for some is a long journey

how can they charge the same, Thai's are free as long as it's their registered hospital, Non Thai's pay

i was hoping to use that service for a trip south and drive back, the ferry could do with stopping on the mainland before crossing to the island, would make a trip down south better than driving

arriving on a visa exempt entry will after 1st October give you a 45 permission to stay stamp, you could get a 30 day extension within Thailand if you need more time 1,900thb, you will need 800,000thb in a bank account within Thailand in you name only on the day of application, no seasoning required at this time, to convert to a non immigrant O visa 2,000thb (not OA) ,you will need to apply at local immigration office with at least 14 days left on this permission to stay stamp, in the last 30 days of the new 90 day permission to stay stamp taht came with the non imm visa you can apply for a yearly 'retirement' extension 1,900thb

you buy which brand you want, something you like according to your budget, too many posters on here push Toyota all the time, i think when chevvy pulled out of Thailand they committed to suppling parts for a number of years, lots of parts for vehicle in Thailand are supplied by companies other than the manufacture, the pickup brands in Thailand are Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Tata, MG, Isuzu, to listen to some posters on here all others apart from Toyota are falling to pieces, worthless, or sitting around not being repaired due to mechanics not knowing how to fix them I bought a Mitsubishi Triton pick up new 7 years ago and it has been faultless over the 70,00Km i have driven it

no in the main reclining seats will be used by most passengers, a few will choose the pods, others the limited rooms, i also think there will be a non-seating area where seating/laying on the floor will be an option, this is the same ferry that was going to run from Sattahip to Songkhla, but moorings could not be found at the Songkhla end

i think you have lost the return flight

why not apply for it with less than 30 days left to expiry

if its a Uk generated pension will HMRC not teat it as taxable

3 ways i can see are 1 passport expiring will change the length of a married extension 2 60 day wife extension and then yearly married extension, that will extend the yearly expiry date by 60days, but you can only get a 60 day wife extension once per entry. 3 change to a retirement extension you will need to satisfy the 'retirement financials, the new extension will start on the day of application not the 'married' extension expiry date, then change back to a married extension at a later date, you could apply at any time to suit the expiry date that you like. either the 'retirement or the 'married' extensions could be applied for prior to their expiry date some offices start the 30 day under consideration period from expiry date of extension, not application date

surely its count on count off, some sort of mechanical clicker/counter, and the driver should walk though before going to for a kip

there are 2 border crossing near to each other ban pakard/phsar prum - https://bit.ly/3KTpdbx and ban laem - https://bit.ly/3qiyXCM, which is about 20km further north and has a larger market, both crossing are quiet and may be priced differently. i have used both a few times, but not for a few years now

seems to be 6 parts on fmovies

just came across a CIA/KGB 8 part sky thriller from 2014 very good 'the assets' with Jodie Whittaker on fmovies

21/2 years will cause no problem, if car is older than 7 years take it the local testing station to get it sorted, if not DIY

in the Uk its only forward facing seats that require seat belts, rear facing ie sitting in the boot space in an estate car volvo, land rover side facing etc are exempt
