  1. Ok, thanks again. Yes, I checked it, there is no mistake. But for people from country who can get 30 days visa exemption, airline is not going to check it. But otherwise you're right: some ticket airline change the order of the first ans middle surname and this make problem all time.
  2. Thanks! Stated above...? euh... where above please? Also, are they going to keep the print?
  3. Hi everyone, About three weeks ago, I posted here about my thai address on my French passport: should I give this address or my official French address in France when filling the form for an e-visa? The fact is, I had forgotten it seems only French passport have an address - since always - written on the biographic page. So, the post has a little bit degenerated between some members! Also about from what country you can apply for an e-visa. Well, I got the e-visa two days ago and here are some precisions: - I asked for the e-visa from Korea with a French passport (by the past, it wasn't allowed but now, it is) - I gave my French address, not the thai one written on my passport - two or three days after paying and sending my request I was automatically asked to provide my bank statement for the last three months: I did it and as these statements have my French address written on them, I think I had done well to give my French address when filling the form (they wanted statements in English, I added a page to translate the few words in French) So now, my question : the e-visa page I got has a QR code on it and it's not written on it that you need to print it. Does someone has used it directly displayed on his smartphone at Suvarnabhumi? Also, if you print it, does the immigration keep it? Thank you!
  4. My previous French passport had the same Thaï address and I got Visa or/and visa run without any problem outside Thailand (Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar...). Thai address on passport doesn't mean you're living in Thailand. You can't apply for any kind of visa if you're physically in Thailand: the E-visa form is also asking you proof where you're staying.
  5. You just never saw any French passport. The first page of the e-visa system ask for your nationality and where you stay. So, I answered French and Korea and I passed. OP? What is it? Thank you for your comment BTW.
  6. Thank you for your comment. French passport have and have always had your address. The form ask for a home address. It's not inside the group TRAVEL DOCUMENT where you must complete information of your passport, it's in the group ADDRESS INFORMATION. They also ask: "Is your permanent address same as your current address?" I'm in Korea, so I answered no and gave my actual address in Korea.
  7. Hi everyone, I'm French with a French passport. I've completed the form and all the pieces required for asking a visa through the E-visa official website but I'm not sure what address to give. For some reason, on my French passport, I've an address in Thailand with French friends. However, these friends have left Thailand few years ago. While I pass all my time in Asia - my last trip to France was in 2017 - I've also an address in France, also with friends, where I receive my mail. I'm really not sure the one I should give for the E-visa. What do you think. Although I don't think it matters, the only cell phone number I have is a Thai number. Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
  8. Ok... I'll walk from Lak Si station to Chaeng Wattana as I did so many times some years ago (Red line didn't exist but I used the train from Bang Sue to Lak Si). Thank you very much for your comment.
  9. Government Center Chaeng Wattana Building? F...! Are you sure?
  10. Thank you for your help. Well, Bangkok, Lak Si (if they didn't move...)
  11. Thank you very much for your comment. I want a tourist visa, 60 days, that I could extend to 30 days more. BTW, do you need a TM30 to extend a tourist visa for 30 days?
  12. Hello, It seems things have changed and French passport can get an E-Visa from Korea. So, I'm going to try to get one. First, is the site https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ really the official website for E-Visa? Is there things I should know before to try to apply? What are they going to ask me? Could they refuse to give me one for some reason? Also, is it mandatory to print it or is an electronic version on your smartphone ok? Any advices are welcome, thank you very much in advance!
  13. I got a TM30 from the two Airbnb where I stayed when I extended my 30 days to 30 days more. But better to ask to the host prior to book it.
  14. Thanks to everyone. Still I'm not sure if I should withdraw wons in Korea and change them in Da Nang or withdraw directly dongs in Da Nang?
  15. Thank you very much again. But I don't like beer at all and I'm not attracted by beaches.
  16. Thank you very much for your comment. 1. Well, usually I didn't... that said, in Busan I struggled to find a place to change a little bit of money (not like Bangkok where they are change shop everywhare) 2. My Airbnb is less than 1km from airport, before the bridge, so I'm going to walk (only 1 cabin luggage)
  17. Hello everyone, I'm living in east Asia since 2005 but only went one time in Vietnam - Hanoi - more than 15 years ago. As I stayed 9 months in Thailand in 2022 thanks to the Covid extension, immigration in Bangkok make me problems to come back. So, the last time I flied to Chiang Mai where immigration is more relax (and yes, no problem at all and when I waied the lady at immigration, she waied me back too). However, as I'm flying from Japan or Korea, it's more complicated and/or more expensive to fly to Chiang Man than to Bangkok. Sunday I'll fly from Busan in Korea and to get a cheap flight, I have to change in Da Nang. I realised that since August 2023 you can get a 45 days visa at Da Nang airport. So, I'm planning to stay at least one month in Da Nang. I find that Chiang Mai is more and more expensive, Airbnb prices are close to the ones in Bangkok (at least if you want to stay in the old city). Locations in Da Nang are less expensive. I need some advice to my stay in Da Nang, mainly about money. I read some thread about exchanging bath against dongs. Well, I've some won and some yen, but not enough for one month. So, my plan is too use my debit card in euro to get money (my bank doesn't charge me anything when I withdraw money abroad). 1.) So: - do Vietnam bank charge you for withdrawing with a debit card in euro? - some bank better change/less fee than others? - is withdrawing money at airport ok or a big mistake? - still I should withdraw money in Korea and change it in Vietnam rather than withdrawing dongs in Vietnam? - is changing money at Da Nang airport a big mistake too? 2.) Also, I'm planning to buy a sim card at Da Nantairport: some useful advices and do/not do about this? 3.) Did I forget something? Thank you very very much for your help!
  18. As I'm right now in Pattaya, what do you think about Baan Laerm Cambodian border? Many visa run companies from Pattaya offer a trip to it.
  19. I found this paragraph on https://www.thaisolutions1502.com/thailand-border-run/ "In 2018, further restrictions were introduced: you can now only get the visa exemption stamp two times per calendar year." Is it true? I already got 2 exemption visas this year - 1 at Suvarnabhumi, 1 in Chiang Mai airport. Or are exemption visas at airport and land border "amazingly" counted separately? The article is emphasising about getting an education visa and what has surprised me a lot: "you can study any language, not just Thai". Does someone stays in Thailand studying Japanese, Korean or I don't know any language other than Thai?
