  1. I intend to put it in my checked luggage. I wonder if they might open it when scanning my luggage. I will leave a copy of the license inside, just in case !

  3. I use Wise (formerly namedTransferwise) to make transfers from France to my Bangkok Bank Account in Bangkok. My transfers are considered international If I select as Transfer Purpose: Funds for long term stay in Thailand or Purchase of Property But I am a french resident, I don't know if it can help you.
  4. I never do border run but a laotian friend of mine does every month. Even laotian should avoid it? What are the problems there?
  5. Hello, Is Poi Pet border post to be avoided?
  6. My experience might be useful to others. I bought a 32 cms high and 20 cms wide Buddha statue at Tha Phra Chan Amulet market. The statue was new and made with resin. I didn't want to have any problem when leaving Thailand with it since an export license is mandatory for any Buddha image larger than 12 cms and export is forbidden for those older than 5 years. It was very easy to find the Fine Arts Department and to go there to get that license. กรมศิลปากร กระทรวงวัฒนธรรม 81/1 ถนนศรีอยุธยา แขวงวชิรพยาบาล เขตดุสิต กรุงเทพมหานคร 10300 FINEART DEPARTMENT 81/1 Sriayutthaya Road Dusit Distrit Bangkok I only needed to bring the Buddha statue and my passport. I also brought an invoice which I asked the shop. I got all information by mail ([email protected]) The inspection lasted then than 30 minutes. They took pictures. No queue, no one was waiting. I filled in 2 forms and wrote that I bought it for respect and would place it at a dedicated place in my home. They sealed a tag on my Buddha where I will have to mention the export permit once I have it. I did it on Thursday and they said I would receive an email on Friday at 1 pm with the bill I got the mail Friday at 2:30 pm. I scanned the barcode with my thai bank application in order to pay 100 bahts. I could have paid at any ATM too. As they said, I got the export permit the following working day, this Monday at 14:53
  7. What about if you got your new passport in your country and not at your embassy in Bangkok ? I your country they will not give you any letter.
  8. It was just an explanation. After Covid-19 there was on rush on passports. No need to get upset about it. And with comments like yours, do you think it makes one want to go to Great Britain? I have never been there and have no desire to go there.
  9. Only 40% of french have a passport and it is very complicated now to get one (up to 6 months waiting). Most don't need it to travel all over Europe and won't take one just for 2 nights in UK. Flight is not always the most convenient way to get there. There is Eurostar too.
  10. I was speaking of a second queue in case I buy a re-entry permit when I get a new extension. Not the same immigration officer, so I guess I would have to queue a second time for the re-entry permit or make 2 appointments both for extension and re-entry permit, planning plan enough time between both appointments
  11. Sure better, but in that case do we have to queue a second time?
  12. Thanks to all of you, I will buy single reentry next time.
  13. Hello, Yesterday I bought a multiple re-entry permit at CW while reporting for the 90 days. I was not sure whether I really needed a multiple one. My question : Had I bought a single re-entry permit, would have it be possible to buy another one (single or multiple) after using it before the expiration of my current extension. Up to now, I always bought mutliple but never needed more than a single one. I bought a multiple re-entry permit just in case. If possible to buy a new re-entry permit when the current one has been used, then no need to buy a multiple one is you do not expect to need it more than 3 times (3800 bahts for a multiple re-entry permit and 1 000 for a single one) Thanks
  14. Yes it starts again, but can I do the report online in that case since I had nor been continuously in Thailand? Same, I can fo it online?
  15. Hello when you leave Thailand then come back, is the report made 90 days after your entry considered also as a first 90 day report? Is first report after new annual Extension considered as a first report too? Thanks
  16. Not only out of the country ? Inside the country, outside of Manilla too?
  17. Are these problems only for Filipinos or can a foreigner be stuck in the Philippines as well ? I never went to the Philippines myself
  18. Yes it was his first travel out of the Philippines. He was not looking for a job, he was just going to Bangkok for a short holiday.
  19. No need to get a visa for a filipino and he committed no crime I found this : https://www.philembassy.org.nz/latest/advisory/departure-formalities-for-filipinos-exiting-the-philippines-qdl-2022-09
  20. Hello, A friend of mine travelled from Manilla to Bangkok today. He was travelling with a filipino friend but at passport control in Manila, his filipino friend was not allowed to leave the Philippines. They both don't know why. Immigration queue being separate for my friend, a foreigner, and his friend, a filipino, he couldn't ask why. How can it be possible ?
  21. Yes very close. When I search on Google Maps, the itinerary is MRT Blue LINE then SRT Red Line but it seems easier to go there with BTS Green line then get off at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat like when I go to Chaengwattana ????
  22. That's what I told him but I cannot change the way he thinks
  23. This is what I thought and told him but he worries about immigration who might ask money
