Thanks for your uplifting post.

Have a nice flight to Bangkok. After your arrival, please let us know how it went, we're all a bit concerned for you.

You wrote "they wanted 500USD right" and you misunderstood that to mean that the IO asked for a bribe of USD 500.00

When you now arrive in Thailand by air, the IO will see from the annotation in your passport why you were denied entry at Poipet. That annotation mentions 12(2), which is a reference to section 12 (2) of the immigration Act.

You must have misunderstood the IO (immigration official) at the Poipet border. He did not ask you for 500 US dollars. The IO wanted to ascertain whether you have the means to cover your cost of living in Thailand as a tourist for 45 days.

Is the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) a Thai government agency?

What is a DBS?

Yes, you can get the 30-day extension of stay at your local immigration office.

Receiving dividends does not make you an employee. Obviously, the company must correctly document and account for these dividend payments.

Salaries are paid to employees and therefore you would need a work permit, regardless whether uch employee is also a shareholder.

In your case, I would state "tourism" as the purpose of my trip to Thailand on the visa application form.

Thai law does not forbid dual nationality.

Not all banks use the same codes for transactions in the bank book. My SCB book shows no code that specifically indicates that a deposit is based on an inward foreign remittance. Talk to your SB branch about it.

A lot of mystery surrounds this certificate of residence from immigration. 1. Unlike other immigration forms, it has no TM number. 2. Neither the Immigration Act nor any Ministeral Regulation or Police Oder or other rule based on the Immigration Act mention it. 3. Apparently only the Department of Land Transportation (DLT) requires it. When did this form come into existence? Is it possible that the DLT and Immigration are in cahoot over this, invented this form and introduced the DLT requirement to get a nice little side income being shared between them?
