You don't announce a 'confusion' without explaining what was wrongly understood and what should be understood.

Otherwise you ADD MORE TO THE CONFUSION

Please specify how the ""filth makes you sick""

Surprise surprise

Has anyone been banned yet??

Of course not, the sanctions are way disproportionate.

Treating people like criminals for just being the wrong side of a border is inane and reinforce Thailand image of a dictatorship.

Thhats also why I dont think they will be enforced, it will give a bad press for tourism.

1,3,6,7,8 are taken

Yes that's what I meant

Yes thats the problem, you need to read the actual topic to know what visa your on about.

anyway......

So you confirm HK does not require plane ticket or hotel booking?

Thats odd as I recall another HK report with a very long list of requirement.

No flight ticket?

No hotel booking?

That's news indeed.

BTW there are about 50 different types of visa, it would not cramp your style to say in your post title it was for a TOURIST visa.which I guess it is.

It is 2 days, 12 hours, 25 minutes, 19 seconds

until Sunday, 20 March 2016 (UTC time)

If they do actually enforced all these crazy rules.

Sooooooooo many laws -rightfully- never enforced.here.

'Pollution''

Yeah right....You guys need to awake

Maybe you should expand on that because your comment is meaningless.

Of course air pollution is a general term and includes many things. My impression is that large particulates are particularly harmful to health.

As shown expanding is not possible

As far I know Taipei only delivers to Taiwanese residents.

I think the Cambodian term for it is TEE Money lol

Think!

Would anyone bother to pay 500K if the tourist visa was still no limit and hassle free?

Nope

Got 28 days from the day I entered - or 30 from issuing date.

Nope my visa had not expired and I was extending my 60 days for a further 30 days.

They would not consider the entry date, but the issue date

If you are applying for an extension of stay the only date that counts is the 'admitted until' date that is stamped in your passport. The extension applies from this date and the entry date or issue dates are irrelevant.

Yep, thats what I thought too.

But not anymore

I tried to say that to IO in CW he would not have it

Nope my visa had not expired and I was extending my 60 days for a further 30 days.

They would not consider the entry date, but the issue date

Too many reported cases of murders on boats in the region.

Thugs see you as a easy prey, a golden goose alone in the sea.

Immigration says the opposite

When extending my TR visa they counted from the date of ISSUE not the entering date.

I tried to say it should be from the entering date, they would not have it.

Same here, the people i know on overstay are old, very poor and with mental health issues and Thai cops can't be bothered to deal with it.

And they clearly see there is no way they can pay for proper visa.

Gee

It's a lot of documents and a long flight for 60 days

its the very reason why people use an agent.

You have a choice between hassle and paying for peace of mind.

Sad but true.

My point is they don't need to make 'a connection' between your ED visa and your school because it's all there in your passport.

I did not realize it either before I had been asked about each school by an immigration officer, I even had the head of ED visa immigration calling every each of my school to check that I have been a student there. Each time he pointed me the scribble in Thai that I had ignored before. Saying 'What about that school, what did you study?' Each school name was written in my passport.

Because the name of the school was in his passport and many schools have the rich idea to call themselves Thai language School; and its easy enough to give them a call and check

No, no name of any school or anything is printed on a visa issued by a Consulate or Embassy.

I have 4 ED visas all had the school name on it. It's not printed it's added by hand in Thai on the actual visa.

But yes, back to the original topic, if the OP can obtain a multiple entry ED, he should not be asked questions when entering the country. If they start talking Thai, tell them u do TEFL or something, or otherwise learn the Thai equivalent of " I don't speak Thai very well yet".

the guy i know had been on a learn thai study visa for more than 3 years. they checked him at the airport and his thai language skills were not good enough and he was not allowed back in the country. might be better to get an ed visa based on learning something else.

And why did Immigration assume that his multiple entry non ED visa was connected to Thai language?

Because the name of the school was in his passport and many schools have the rich idea to call themselves Thai language School; and its easy enough to give them a call and check
