Dreadful I agree

Yep I think you're spot on. Get the METV and couple side trips to Angeles City and PP for a few days inbetween

Jesus wept lol fella Maybe I dont want to put £20,000 in a Thai account Maybe I dont want to go down the utterly illegal route of playing underhand tactics with immigration and employing dubious agents so that just maybe one day I arrive at Suvarnabhumbi and am pulled sweetly aside with a stamp saying "persona non grata" in the passport I repeat am looking at 5-6 months not permanent 12 months residence Off you pop Assist or desist

lol am not "intent" on mucking about Another one incapable of reading the OP.......what is the matter with this forum the last few years I specifically made the point I didnt want to go down the retirement route.......Where on the thread did I even remotely mention my age ??

Your wonderful response was utterly apprteciated............... Clearly you didnt even read the OP

Lot of chatter from immigration lately of extending that to other European countries to boost tourism

UK as normal I like Spring and Summer in the UK but never keen on Autumn and Winter !!

This thread is exactly one of the reasons why I posted a new thread 15 minutes ago

Question prompted by more than few recent threads where the visitor has had apparent problems when doing border runs Now not less than 5 months but no more than 180 days to keep in line with this tax legislation that may or may not become into force. (Yes I know it has but nobody seems sure as yet of what exactly it entails) Now the multi entry visa seemed obvious but the guidance notes I'm reading are somewhat confusing in that you're supposed to be visiting other countries in the region and staying for a week or so before returning.....and not stamping out and stamping in an hour later ! The "guidance" is unclear doubtless deliberately ! Would it be better in fact to get the standard 60 day Evisa which I've done twice this current period and then extend that by the 30 days giving the first 3 months....then what ?? Go Cambodia for a few days and reapply through the Thai Embassy there or can you in fact apply via the Thai embassy in London as I'd be officially "outside" of Thailand ?? Few points..... I dont want a retirement visa I can easily fulfill financial requirements Secondly the rolling 12 months would have no other Evisa or visa exempt entries in the 6 months interim period Thanks...

Indeed

I havent read entire thread but surely on a visa run you would take all your financial stuff with you from Cards Cash etc etc Nobody would go with just a passport and nothing else surely

On first Evisa last year I was staying multiple places over 2 months. The first accomodation was actually an AIRBNB for 5 days. I literally screenshotted the address in Thai managed to change it to the format for upload and that was that Multiple people have said that for the London Embassy it "appears" that if you fill each box with "something" no matter what section it is the application is accepted Seems to me they are more interested in the application being in JPEG than anything else. In reality (think about the old style paper applications we used to do) I suspect its a passport check in their system to show entries/exits are all in order and was the £30 paid and if all in order thats that !

Two excellent posts from yourself

Decent fresponse and some excellent points made

Check in staff ALWAYS have aisle seats in if you ask nicely should you not be able to get your preferred seat when online check in opens On the extremely rare occasion I've been assigned a middle seat (on any airline) have always been able to change it at official check in on the day (obviously dont turn up with 45 minutes to go lol)

Agoda dont set the rate.... I've used Chase bank last 3 Agoda bookings 2 of which were priced in Baht and it was the Mastercard rate at time of the transaction

How is even remotely possible that there is a very real chance of this lunatic becoming leader of the free world once again America is a total laughing stock......UK was a laughing stock under Johnson but nothing he did comes remotely close to this Trump character

Just lock him up once and for all Boris Johnson the most vile corrupt evil leader in British Political history was a babe in arms compared to Trump

I was one day over Christmas day when I left (on 60 day visa) No fine and written in Thai in passport saying "one days grace no issue" once translated Came back in 18th January and IO opened passport to same page didnt bad an eyelid

Working normally for me Try rebooting laptop or Phone etc

Clearly that went right over your head........................

Right up to the point your phone crashes and dies or you lose it !

Surely they could have sent £10 via Wise lol to cover the Debit Card annual fee !

Never ever let a bank account get closed accidentally through inactivity or deliberately. Goes for any account worldwide. Always churn couple thousand baht through it annually (Thai one obviously)

Couldnt agree more with you
