Thank you for your answer. I said my visa, not my extension or retirement. I don't stay in Thailand all the year. I've everything already print here: TM30, TM7, Form Acknowledgement of Overstay Penalties, Form STM2, One photo. YOYA stick! So, if nothing new, no problem. Also I'll go directly to building B: last year, as I didn't go to GC since many years I went to building A first... 😒

Hello everyone, My visa will end on April 18. Due to Songkran, I'll go to Government Complex on Wednesday or Thursday this week. My last trip was one year ago, is there something new I should know in 2025? Thank you!

No. There are many convenience store around my room - 7/11, G25, CU... and no one offers this kind of service. Yes, some offer it, but it's the exception, at least in Busan or in my district. Maybe it's different in Seoul? In Japan, yes, 7/11, Family Mart, Lowson, they offer it everywhere. In Korea ? And it's not 100b but 100w !

I'm not in a hotel. As for the rest, you're completely right.

Thanks, everyone. Finding a print shop in Busan is a nightmare. The addresses on Kakao Maps and Naver Maps were not valid, and Google Maps is completely outdated (2017!!!). I wasted two hours for nothing. Eventually, a shop where I asked for a print service did it for me—for free. It was the same thing last year. Next year, I'll just ask my usual bakery directly! By the way, getting the e-visa is also a nightmare. I don’t know why it’s so complicated and why they ask for so many documents when they require nothing for the visa exemption. Once you’ve submitted everything they ask for, they keep requesting additional documents—especially an onward ticket, even though you can extend your stay by 30 days. On that note, some good news: AirAsia now offers the option to cancel your ticket and get a full refund—for a fee. The cost of this service is slightly lower than that of an Onward ticket.

Hello everyone, I'll be back in Bangkok in a few days with an e-visa from the Seoul embassy. Last year, you needed to print it, at least for Suvarnabhumi. Do you know if anything has changed and if you can now use your smartphone? Or should I print it again? Thank you!

As I plan to stay in Thailand for nine months, and since visa-exempt entries are unlimited but subject to immigration officer discretion, it seems wiser to apply for a visa and two exemptions rather than three exemptions.

Hello! I'm in Korea. Last year, I was also in Korea, and I got an e-visa. It worked fine. But with the 60-day exemption, why should I get one again? What's the difference, especially since it seems that 60-day exemptions are now unlimited? Thank you!

I was in Japan from Tuesday to Thursday this week: I was stamped at Kansai Airport.

Am I the first one to read this? https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thailand-launches-global-thai-e-visa-for-2025 Or did I miss some post?

Ok, so I went to Vanarom Dental Clinic and everything went smoothly (smooth as silk!). I stay around 45 minutes, the doctor was very attentive and also told me the price before 1.) Cleaning part of my mouth (only one part, justified, I didn't clean it since... well, many years 2.) Fixing the cavity. I paid 1500 + 1500, = 3000 baht. I'll certain use the same dental clinic and the same doctor next time.

No idea!

Email. And yes I got 600 bahts by surface for one. But a tooth has 5 surfaces. So if they charge me 5 surfaces + sterilization, it could be between 3 and 4K. An other one announced between 1.5 and 4K. Always by email.

Contacted many in Bangkok, they all speak about 4000.

Hello everyone, After 15 years without any problem, it seems I got a cavity. I'm in Bangkok but I'm going to leave it in few days for Korea, possibly with a stop in Da Nang. Do you have any advice or/and experience (quality, price) for these three countries? Thank you very much!

I confirm that on August 30, there wasn't any problem at Nong Khai border.

Does make sense. Thanks!

Sorry to insist: absolutely not very recent news for the Nong Khai border ?

Some news from Nong Khai border since this post has been opened? I'm going to Nong Khai on Friday for a visa run, I really don't want to stay in Vientiane one or two nights. I am in Bangkok, I have chosen Nong Khai because you can back to Thailand the same day, otherwise I would have probably chosen to fly to KL.

Thanks. I just make change and was lucky enough to get a 1 dollar banknote.

Sure, they ask 1 dollar because they want to loose money! BTW, "they" is not the people working at the border but the Lao government.

Coming by night train from Bangkok, I should arrive at the border before 8:00 o'clock, so I should be charged 1 more dollar. I guess if you don't have a 1 dollar banknote: - they don't have change from 10 or 5 dollars? - they kindly charge you 100 bahts instead of 30/40 or even 50?

Got it, thank you!

Thank you very much! There is only one form to fill at Nong Khai border?
