  1. I got my re-entry permit at Chaengwatana when I got my year extension but I checked this morning at Airport. When I asked where the re-entry was, employees told me I had to go through passport control first. I then found the entry desk which can be accessed before or after passport conttol. Immigration officer told me that Chaengwatana could be better. According to her, it may be crowed and I may have to choose between my flight and a re-entry permit.
  2. It needs to be updated. Now : Tourists who buy goods worth less than 20,000 baht would not have to show them to customs officials during the refund process. Until now,the upper limit was less than 5,000 baht. The minimum price of ornaments, ornamentalgold, watches, eyeglasses, pens, smart phones, laptop and tablet computers, bags (excludingtravel bags) and belts that must be presented tocustoms is raised from 10,000 baht to 40,000 baht. Extra information : I am at airport after almost 6 months in Thailand. I made a short trip to Laos so I last entered in January. VAT Refund office told me I couldn't be considered as a tourist since I stayed more than 3 months (108 days) . They refunded me this time but told me they would not in the future
  3. I entered Laos on january 3rd. I got a Visa on arrival. Is was very quick. No queue at all.
  4. Only 35 people were born in France with that name since 1890 mainly in the island La Réunion https://www.filae.com/nom-de-famille/ILAN.html I wonder what is his first name.
  5. I transfer THB, converted by Wise, to my Bangok Bank Account. Bangkok Bank charges no fees in that case. I get on my Bangkok Bank account the exact amount in THB I sent.
  6. Had I known, I would never have arrived in Pattaya on friday 19th. Three hours to get soaked to my hotel, almost empty.
  7. My first time I went there and asked for information.
  8. Buddha image is the litteral translation of พุทธรูป. รูป is an image or any representation of Buddha. It applies to statues See http://thai-language.com/id/197246 And http://thai-language.com/id/131658 picture; image; a likeness; painting
  9. A fee to get the license but very cheap (100 bahts). Without license you will not be allowed to export it, in case they find it in your baggage. Better to do as I did, maybe they'll give you the license, and if they don't give you the license you'll do your own way then ! Probably many people export without license, but if you're caught you'll have to leave it in Bangkok, which doesn't really matter if the statue has no value. I may not insert the link from the Bangkok Post. Google for it with "Exporting Buddha" https://www.dfdl.com/insights/news/what-are-the-rules-regarding-exporting-buddha-images-from-thailand-dfdl-article-in-the-bangkok-post/
  10. By the way, up to now and again yesterday, I went to Chaengwattana with BTS Green Line, got off at BTS Wat Phra Sri Mahathat then took a taxi to Government Complex. On the way back, I noticed new BTS or MRT stations on the way back to BTS Wat Phra Sri Mahathat Is the Pink Line going to Government Complex with interchange at BTS Wat Phra Sri Mahathat open now ? Thanks
  11. I just reported today at Chaengwatana. The immigration told me that my online application was auto-rejected. She could not tell me why and said I should report 15 days in advance next time
  12. I opened a bank account with Bangkok Bank (head office in Silom) in 2018. I entered visa exempt at that time. I couldn't use internet banking nor mobile banking. When I got a Non-O Visa, I got access to internet and mobile banking. By the way I did not need to deposit THB 800 000 (income method) Things may have changed since that time.
  13. In Europe foreigners do whatever they want,even more if they are illegal migrants.We do not deport them but give them money, health care and housing 555
  14. I applied again online yesterday and it was rejected again. It's a mystery. I have to go to Chaengwattana next week (appointment)
  15. So maybe my notification was made too early ? if the count starts from extension renewal on on january 17th and not on re-entry on january 10th ?
  16. I will try tomorrow since they rejected today. When I donwloaded the TM47 after applying online, I noticed that none of the 2 checkboxes "Tourist" and "Non-Imm" were checked,but there is noway to check them when applying
  17. I entered my new extension of stay date in february 2025 I don't have middle name... just one first name with "-" but "-" is not accepted... so 2 names in first name field
  18. Thanks Can I re-apply then ? I thought due date was april 8th since I entered on january 10 th I read I could apply 15 days before, therefore as from march 25th (-1 days) till april 14th (+8 days) and I applied on 27th When they reject it would be helpful if they gave a motive.
  19. My first report was filed at immigration office but I left the country since that time
