    So he assaulted a police officer with a skateboard, and instead of locking him up and prosecuting him, they allowed him to fly back to China? Muppets.

    Isn't that rather obvious from what the OP wrote:

    Land border crossings with Myanmar are either closed or could be closed on short notice. Land border crossings with other neighboring countries (Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia) are open.

    Even 2nd rate Airbnb hosts can manage to offer self-checkin nowadays. Can't this clown just send Thaksin a prison cell key card for his convenience, should he choose to arrive out of hours? Sorry, but I just cannot take this "Thaksin returns, no really, just wait for it" farce seriously anymore.

    Better a leg shorter than a head shorter. Many who are unfortunate enough to be I a motorbike accident in Thailand don't make it out alive.

    Your passports will be linked when your new passport will be scanned entering the country. What I don't understand is why you seem to be concerned about this.

    Covid? Have you checked the calendar? The answer is NO.

    I'm not confusing anything, I mean that some nationalities - including Indian - cannot get the usual 30-day extension to the 60-day stay a tourist visa provides. There have been reports to that effect here and elsewhere for years, so it seems to be a long-standing immigration policy.
  9. Caldera
    I think the OP is correct in saying that Indian nationals cannot get a 30-day extension.
  10. Caldera
    You're right about that, you didn't overstay. If you can get another tourist visa is hard to predict, all you can do is try and hope for the best.
  11. Caldera
    You should have no problem getting a tourist visa.
  12. Caldera
    Your information is outdated. It is now possible to apply for an ordinary visa (E-type visa) using the eVisa website. As a previous poster wrote correctly, the fee is $42. A tourist (T-type) eVisa costs $36.

    I agree. I think each first-time longterm extension applicant should be made to undergo a criminal record check, no matter what visa rhey enter with and what the purpose of the extension is. In return, they could make subsequent extensions easier and/or less frequent, it's just a nonsensical paper shuffling exercise in many cases.

    Ready for what, exactly? It's become quite clear that nobody wants to fly there. No nearly the numbers they've dreamed up anyway.
  15. Caldera
    There are countries where the "rule of law" exists, and then there are countries like Thailand. It really is that simple.
  16. Caldera
    The farce continues...
  17. Caldera
    That would be a horrible outcome, and a slap in the face of most voters.

    It's a bilateral agreement between Thailand and Brazil. Such a 90-day visa exempt stay cannot be extended by 30 days in-country and the "2 per calendar year" rule for land border entries doesn't apply. I'm not sure about border runs. They might well count days and/or deny entry. Maybe it would be best to check with a border bounce company, they should know.
  19. Caldera
    You can apply for a 30-day extension in-country, for example at IT Square Laksi again.
  20. Caldera
    Unlimited 30-day border bounces. They can't extend that in-country though, maybe they got tired of all the bouncing around.

    This year we will all die from... Ocean Overheating Alright then, the Covid scare is dead, we needed something new. Meh.
  22. Caldera
    An immigration office is pretty much run like a fiefdom, deviation from the official rules is pretty much accepted. You'd have to explain what specifically your complaint is. Some "misunderstandings" are easier to sort out than others.
  23. Caldera
    Unfortunately they've failed to make gradual increases to the amounts they require, in line with inflation. So I'd suspect that whenever the next increase will happen, it will be substantial. Of course checking criminal records of first-time applicants would make a lot more sense to weed out criminals than increasing the amounts. Also, unless they get rid of agents, the required amounts are quite meaningless anyway.
  24. Caldera
    What a farce. Is anyone even still interested?
  25. Caldera
    Nonsense, it's all in your head. My local Big C is as busy as ever. They don't really need salami buyers to survive.
