Question answered. Thread closed

I was addressing what you thought io was stating in order to refuse you entry. In any event you were successful after stay night/s in Laos. This sends alarm bells to border bounces. Lot of folk celebrating when visa exempt via land became "unlimited," Perhaps some cold water has been thrown on that.

Applying for Non O in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry does not require a flight out of Thailand. Think about it. Most folk obtaining the Non O at local immigration office in Thailand intend to obtain subsequent 12 month extension. Perhaps no plan to return "home country"

Good. The pic I posted earlier (not taken by me) can you confirm that is current pic that you will attend.. Also if you opt for service fee that is smoothe. My last reentry permit at DMK it was actually tad busy. Seemed I was only one with filled in TM8 pic attached

Do they have 200b "service fee" option at CNX as they do at BKK and DMK where the form and filling in and photo is all provided? Single is 1000b 1900 b is for extensions

Is this when you do not enter visa Zone 2. Some folk using fast track lane (not available zone 2) turn left after passport control and walk to Zone 2. Where is the "new desk/office" for reentry permit

A payment to expedite same day bounce does not equate to illegal entry to another country via boat.

Post recent report of rejection of 30 day extension to a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. Simple. Otherwise your claim is pointless

Removed off topic post regarding other countries

That is 10 years ago. Also not sure of your particular situation at that time. Still better..post recent report of application for 30 day extension to visa exempt or tourist visa entry rejected. Obviously not down to paperwork eg TM30 etc Waiting

In another of your threads you ask about filming in shopping centers. Think I have probable cause. Not all "western countries" are the same. You could also ask in which Western countries can you refuse a random breath test. Random means no requirement for reason to require a test drug/alcohol

Correct. Think SR services was mentioned earlier. That will guarantee entry even with solid history. I don't regard it as cheap however its safe.

The OP, has been asking sames questions over long period. Along with border run advice. Again and again.. Here one example @pantsonfire you have been given information often. No one can guarantee io won't question your extensive history. Did you consider (look into) DTV. Seems possible match for your ongoing situation.. Or you could marry the gf

Thanks for update. If Nong Khai continue with this along with other land border crossings then this is bit of game changer. "Games" being operative word. Surely this would not apply to bounce for Visa holders such as METV. Perhaps some will consider grab a DTV

While still in the 400k window open the new account. You mention SCB. That's fine. Personally I would consider Kasikorn. In any event just prior to needing the 800k to satisfy the two months prior to application.....transfer the 400k into the new account. After that is deposited transfer or withdraw the 400k you have in existing account and place into new account. Immigration will want to see bank statements and bank letters and bank books from both accounts on day of application Note: BBL is only bank (to my knowledge) that requires few days to provide annual bank statement. I would for that reason alone skip them

Given you are only planning 3 month stay you could consider SETV. Not sure of cost now. As you have been out of Thailand for some time you could try visa exempt. SR services is a recommended agent for "safe entry" at airports however thinking not required. Especially if you opt for visa.

Give us the gory details when you get into Thailand. Good luck

One important consideration is time since last visit. Also depends on how long you plan the stay. METV is a good option. The issue now is since visa exempt became 60 day stamp and limit of 2 land border runs per calendar year being removed that METV (to some) seems less appealing.

Several posts removed . @KhunHeineken you are baiting. Stop

Good pick up. Anyway OP ...Can you report back after your application. Would be helpful.

So what is the issue for need for "safe entry" That service is not for fast track immigration. It's for folk with history of visa exempt entry. If you just want VIP immigration line that's different..

Don't know why you had 2 sad emoji. Fact is forever the immigration officer at entry point determines entry or no entry. Don't wish to gloat but when the word "unlimited border entries" I suggested to chill with this change See what happens. This thread is Nong Khai specific. Zero issues previously. Now?

It will make headlines if that occurs. Can't imagine that would happen in any situation. Anyone with a visa exempt entry and is entitled to 30 day extension.
