  1. Please give the link to the website you are talking about.
  2. Removed an off-topic post (unattributed claim of crime and illegal working)
  3. 1. No 2. A fine, usually THB 800 but some immigration offices sometimes collect more. 3. Yes, as the householder because you are the possessor of the condo unit in your capacity as tenant.
  4. Not required by law, regulations and immigration guidelines, but go with the old and new passport to your immigration office to have some data transferred from the old to the new passport.
  5. This is what a Google translation of the text regarding the 500K Baht in the announcement published in the Royal Gazette says: The original Thai text of the announcement is here: https://ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/documents/37565.pdf
  6. Section 74 of an English translation of the Criminal Code says this:
  7. The DTV is s multiple-entry visa valid for five years.
  8. Removed an off-topic post about a non-O visa and the replies to it.
  9. The OP, @sqwakvfr, started this topic with the text quoted above, without giving a link to his source. Just now, I looked the information up on the website of the Thai embassy in Washington DC and found it on this page: https://washingtondc.thaiembassy.org/en/page/non-oa The information regarding financial requirements is shown twice, first under the heading "Eligibility", then under the heading "Required documents". These two texts are contradictory and thus confusing and useless. Eligibility 6. Applicant must have a bank deposit of no less than 800,000 Baht in the last three months or an income certificate (an original copy) with a monthly income of not less than 65,000 Baht, or a deposit account plus a monthly income totaling not less than 800,000 Baht (in one year). In the case of submitting a bank statement, a letter of guarantee from the bank (an original copy) is required Required documents to upload in the system 4. Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $30,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $2,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income What shows up in the online application form on the eVisa site, I wonder ?
  10. There is no question of if: without the boarding pass, no departure stamp is given.
  11. I don't think that banks in one country supply information about an account holder's details to a government in another country. The exchange of information is between governments.
  12. Thank you. I wonder whether I was the only one who did not know that. (I might have known JAL)
  13. Removed off-topic posts and the replies to them. This old topic is now closed.
  14. If you mean extensions of stay, at what immigration office was this?
  15. Removed off-topic posts about DTV and non-O visas.
  16. Removed an off-topic post about gangsters and work gangs.
  17. It is not the airlines (which you refer to as "flying companies") that say that you "cant have a 5 month holiday in Thailand on a visa exempt with a return ticket" It was the Thai government who, with the Announcement of the Ministry of Interior dated 15 June 2024 which was published in Thai language in the Royal Gazette, said when you enter Thailand without a visa you are allowed to stay for up to sixty days for the purpose of "tourism, work, or short-term business engagements". It further says that if you wish to remain in Thailand temporarily beyond the period permitted under this Announcement, you must apply for an extension of stay at the Immigration Office before the expiration of the permitted period. The Announcement makes no mention of a return flight. Based on the abovementioned Announcement, the IATA entered relevant information in their database which is accessible free of charge and when I consulted it just now displayed the following: When checking in passengers for flights to Thailand, the staff of airlines who subscribe to a specific IATA service package get analogous information displayed on their screens. Airlines are completely free to chose whether and when and to what extent to apply conditions or restrictions upon any passenger who has no return or onward ticket.
  18. An ESTA is useless for travel to Thailand, isn't it? How long will Thailand's ETA be valid?
  19. Removed a reply without any text.
