If it can be proven that he knowingly engaged in a sexual act with a 17 y.o. for money, that would be a crime in Germany (since 2008). Maybe he only learned about the fact that payment was expected when she asked for a tip after having sex. Again tricky, as a German prostitute would probably request money upfront, which makes prosecuting sex for money with underage sex workers easier.

As a German citizen, he cannot be extradited from Germany to Thailand. He COULD be tried in Germany, and before that would happen, the prosecution would need to establish if he has committed a crime that he can be charged with under German law. I think the trickiest part is that any evidence required to secure a conviction will have to be provided by the Thai police farce which is well known for their shoddy work - but would need to satisfy the expectations of a German criminal court.

Officially, you need to carry a printout. If you fail to do that, anything could happen. From the eVisa website: After the e-Visa application has been approved, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to applicants, which must be printed out for presenting to airlines and Thai Immigration Officials when traveling to Thailand.

In Savannakhet, a multi-entry visa isn't available based on having a Thai child, only a single-entry visa is. If you do have 400k baht in a Thai bank account and legal custody of your child, you could get a single-entry visa from Savannakhet and then a one-year extension at your local immigration office.

Come again? The fee for a single-entry non-immigrant visa is 2000 baht. As Thai embassies and consulates tend to use a somewhat unfavorable exchange rate, that often translates to $80 - still well below your amounts.

Any doctor who refuses to treat a critically injured patient shouldn't be allowed to work as a doctor. Such despicable behavior is shameful for the medical profession. In the case of private hospitals, I'd guess the only real option is to fine them an insane amount for each and every emergency patient they turn away illegally. As they only care about money, hit them where it hurts them the most.

What's next? Obsolescence.

How? If they don't spend more, it's probably not because they couldn't find more cr/\p or entertainment to spend more money on, but because their budget simply doesn't allow them to spend more. Economic realities come to bite. Sure, they can chase the more affluent "quality tourist" again, but they just won't come in the numbers that Thailand wants.

With the eVisa for Cambodia, all that will end up in your passport are an arrival stamp with eVisa annotation and an exit stamp. No visa sticker, you just take along 2 printouts of the eVisa PDF file they'll send you.

That "Prince" Reuss wrote a pretty embarrassing letter to Putin, he's probably more senile than anything else. So he should be sent off to a retirement home with a steady supply of diapers. Some of his followers might be a little bit more dangerous though.

How so? He'll just do nothing about it, just like all the other PMs before him.

Is it silly season already?

Yeah? Care to list those daily international flights for us poor souls without real knowledge?

Speak for yourself and refrain from saying something nonsensical like "we all find this very suspicious". I, for one, don't find the OP's report suspicious. Now I've got thousands of posts on here, but i do remember that I first signed up when I had a question I needed help with. Before, I had been a lurker for a long time without any reason to post. So I'd suggest it may well be the same with the OP.

Maybe Western travelers would have shown more "enthusiasm" if something had been done for them - specifically for those who are willing and able to stay longer. Russians currently get 90-day visa exempt entries. The same was considered for Western travelers, but that proposal didn't seem to get anywhere. With the shoddy eVisa system in place, it remains a hassle.

That would be a friendly border for a border run as well, but its location is less convenient than others for most people.

An international transfer in Bangkok wouldn't be a problem as long as you can do it airside (e.g. using AirAsia's "FlyThru" service) without having to enter Thailand. As you've already used up your overland visa exempt entries for 2023, you could consider applying for a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Vientiane, which would allow you to enter overland. You'd need to check when they have appointments available though. If the visa agent you're in touch with has contacts at airport immigration, they might also be able to facilitate your entry in Bangkok.

I think this makes perfect sense (for a change). Everything that needs to be checked when exiting the country can be automated, some countries don't even have outbound immigration at all. Unlike with overland travel, nobody needs to see an exit stamp when flying out. If the country you're flying to is interested in where you're coming from, they can ask for the boarding pass - as Thai immigration does.

That's quite an ordeal. Maybe you can find a flight from KL to Laos (Vientiane) and enter Thailand overland from there.

While he can be prosecuted in Germany, the evidence provided by the Thai police will need to meet the procedural standards and burden of proof in a German criminal court. That's a tall order for them, and might be one of the reasons why Big Joke wants to fly to Germany himself too see what can be done. If the victim is really 17 years old as reported, an additional problem is the age of consent, so unless he can be slapped with an assault, trafficking or coercion charge. The German court will apply German law, and having sex with a 17 year old person who consents isn't a crime.

A denied entry isn't the same as being blacklisted. Nobody stops you from re-attempting to enter at any point of entry on any other day. Of course it would be a good idea to choose wisely.

How recent are those overstays? If both or at least one of them are/is from more than 3 years ago, you might be okay.

The extension needs to be formally canceled by the immigration office that issued it. You'll need a letter from your school stating on which date your studies will end. Then you'll need to take that letter to the immigration office and they'll cancel your extension effective that date. You should obviously go there a few days before, to give you time to exit the country without overstaying. Which land border do you intend to use? Some are friendlier than others, and if you want to return on the same day, you also need to bribe Cambodian immigration to let you exit without an overnight stay. Depending on where you are located, using a border run service might be your best option to avoid any hassle at the border.

That sounds like you're currently on an extension based on attending school. In that case, you would need to cancel that extension first, otherwise immigration at a land border won't even allow you to exit. Is your plan to re-enter Thailand visa exempt?

That border crossing with Myanmar is still closed, so this currently isn't an option.
