    That's not going to work, as Thailand's neighboring countries (which you would need to enter for a border run) require a minimum of 6 months remaining passport validity.

    You don't need to leave the country every 90 days, you can get an extension instead. While it's a bit annoying that this needs to be done every 90 days (instead of a year with the newer version of the Elite visa), there's no requirement to ever leave the country at all.

    You won't get and you don't need a TM6 if arriving by air.

    It's an insane requirement, but it has been reported from other immigration offices in the past, so I'm not really surprised.

    They're 20+ years behind as per usual.

    Lock him up.

    Personally, I have no problem with people using an agent as a matter of personal choice. However, I think taunting people who choose to go to immigration themselves is way over the top. Let's not forget that it's actually a requirement to show up in person, just consider yourself lucky that your agent gets this requirement waived.

    Depends on what kind of school. If it's a proper university that has long holidays and you leave within those holidays, it's fine.

    You can go to the immigration service point at BluPort Mall for that, instead of making the trek to the main immigration office that is in a much more inconvenient location.

    Then it's sent for approval to regional immigration headquarters, not to Bangkok. Did you really use an agent for that kind of extension? That's much more rare and convoluted than using an agent for a retirement extension. Which is probably why some posters questioned the "under consideration" step.
  11. Caldera
    Nope.
  12. Caldera
    Did you need to provide any other documents besides financials? Such as proof of accommodation or onward travel?

    I take it that's a rhetorical question, considering...

    The OP clearly says "10M Baht", which happens to be the amount required for this kind of "visa" (extension).

    Same as pre-Covid, visa run companies drop off their customers there on Mondays and Thursdays again.

    Just what the police farce needs, encouragement by a nutty consul from Europe. ????

    This is turning into a right <deleted> show.

    Stepping up efforts implies that an effort has already been made. I've seen no evidence of that, not this year and not in previous years as well. It just keeps getting worse with no solution in sight.

    Covid boosters, is that still a thing? I had 3 jabs, all in 2021, and I'd be prepared to call it a day with that! I guess France is having trouble finding enough takers, same as other Western countries that are sitting on enormous stockpiles.

    Every year the same mess, if not worse year after year. Are they ever going to do anything about it?

    It's perfectly normal that a single-entry tourist visa is valid for entry for 3 months. That's not to be confused with getting stamped in for 60 days upon entry. Two different things.
  22. Caldera
    Not a big deal, it's actually very common. With a single-entry visa, you don't really lose any time by arriving later. I've often spent several more weeks outside Thailand after obtaining a tourist visa.

    That sounds like a ridiculous law. I get why impersonating let's say a police officer by wearing a police uniform is a crime, but impersonating a university student? Unless you use that uniform to sit an exam for someone else or swindle someone into giving you the student price for goods or services purchased, where's the actual harm in merely wearing such a uniform for fun or fashion?
  24. Caldera
    Yes, the 30 day extension is routinely given. The only real issue some people at some immigration offices encounter is the requirement to be reported at an address in the area of the immigration office they apply at. That's the TM30 reporting you often read about on here. Before applying for the extension, you need to ensure that the hotel (or wherever you're staying) has reported you.

    You're not supposed to report your presence before you're actually being present. Now, whether their online system has a flaw that allows you to do it anyway (by selecting future arrival and check-in dates), I don't know, as I've never tried.
