If you use a border bounce service, yes. Otherwise, there are no guarantees, different IOs have different ideas as to how much time somewhat should be allowed to spend in Thailand as a tourist...

Others weren't so lucky and had to endure staying in that horrible country. You won't have any issues with getting a Thai visa or entering Thailand because of your trouble in India, in any case.

Do you have a visa for Laos, if you need one? Or do you plan to apply for a visa on arrival? From reports at other bridges I've seen before, it's not uncommon that the visa on arrival counter closes before the immigration counters. So that could make a big difference.

Clearly they're unfamiliar with HAL.

Realistically, only China has enough influence and manpower to crack down on this in a meaningful way. There's no hope that anything will change from within Cambodia.

If you're currently banned from entering Thailand, you cannot use a safe entry service to circumvent that official ban. A safe entry service doesn't magically make an inadmissible person admissible. It simply ensures that you'll get an IO who doesn't use their discretion to deny you entry.

Wow, looks like it's not the most secure computer system on the planet. Scary stuff.

Do praise them for the benefit of others who are interested. Which service did you use?

How does the bank part work in practice when doing everything by mail? Do you need to mail them your bank book? How do they get the money back after putting it into your account?

Oh that will be interesting, let's see if my Telegram app will still work next time I'm there. I don't really need it in Vietnam, but still.

That's great news, they should take them out one by one. No junta general should feel safe anywhere any longer.

Not my experience at all. So I consider your whole post nonsensical.

It's an outrageous request any way you look at it, no matter if it's coming from her or if the idea was put into her head by her family. At her salary level, her potential to help her family is less than 5,000 baht per month, so anything more than maybe topping it up to 10,000 baht per month would be excessive. What would they need more money for, anyway? If there's no debt, drugs or gambling involved. As she's 22, it doesn't seem likely that her parents deserve a free ride (retirement) already either.

Anyone sane would use both in combination, energy extremism of ANY kind is expensive nonsense.

It has always been like this, so there was nothing to announce.

But he's currently on a retirement extension already. He can open a Bangkok Bank account without being pushed to buy their insurance and without using an agent. You've really lost the plot here.

No, I understand that. What some don't seem to understand is that the OP's friend will have no trouble opening an account at the agent's preferred bank, without having to pay the agent extra to facilitate that. It's nonsensical to tell the OP that opening the account will cost an extra 4.7k to 6k baht, THAT was my point.

I don't understand why some posters make a big deal out of the guy having a bank account at "the wrong bank". He currently has a valid 1-year extension, so he can walk into pretty much any bank and open a new account wherever it suits him, without any assistance from an agent. It's tourists wanting to "convert" to a Non-O visa who have trouble opening an account, not someone who already has a longterm extension

If you have to ask... 555 Since I mentioned gross negligence, I think it's obvious who's the one I was talking about!

I'm not surprised, it simply means that Trump is doing an even better job destroying the dollar than the Thai government does tanking the economy.

Their offering is about as uninspired as the name of this event.

It's pretty much time for the next one.

If I was a scammy airport taxi driver, I would hate Grab as well. As a passenger, on the other hand...

I'm sure her family can easily pay by stealing a little bit more from Thailand.

Wow, that is textbook gross negligence, what a stupid thing to do.
