RobbyXNorway, that would be quite surprising if they could make a passable copy of such an advanced phone at much cheaper price. I believe the S10+ has the fingerprint reader built into the bottom of the screen. Amazing if they could do all that without having a high-tech  production line, in which case why not sell their own brand name.

With big name items you pay for the name, the hardware itself can be made much cheaper hence all the Chinese phones with just as good specs and lower prices.

It's so difficult to break into the market that copies are often a better (short term at least) business option.

If you would have read some of my other post you

would have realized that, I mentioned many times

in other topics, and the ones you seen in 1st class

are most properly business men or retired 

business men.

If I had read any of your other posts that contained as much nonsense as the initial one in this thread I would have commented appropriately or laughed at them too.

Even if premium passengers are "most properly business men or retired business men" (sic) that does not exclude pensioners from being there too.  Get over the fact you posted rubbish.

So pensioners who just rely on the pension and have no private pension(super)

can afford to travel 1st class from Australia to Thailand twice a year ? pull

the other leg

Your initial post did not limit it to those who "just rely on the pension and have no private pension(super)", nor did it mention 1st Class, nor did it mention twice a year so now your stretching things just to justify a poor post which I joked about due to the poor syntax.  Other(s) got the joke but you chose to keep on digging even after it was pointed out.  Slow day perhaps?

Well I don't fly business class, because I am a pensioner  . . . .

What airline has a rule that excludes pensioners from travelling in Business Class?  Ridiculous. ????

Then most useless tip is that the (problematic) Emirates app is available from the I-tunes Store. Ideal for Android users????

It is also available for Android.

you do understand you cannot work in any way shape or form in Thailand on the Elite Visa right? It falls under the classification of a tourist visa and specifically states this on application/terms and conditions and on their website faq.

I don't care about work.

I thought it had already been clarified upthread that the idea of an Elite Visa (Type PE?) is not that of a Tourist Visa (Type TR) even if it falls under the same category.  One lets you stay full time and one doesn't.  Like others, I wish there were clear rules around Tourist Visa entries/durations of stay, but most of the TR cases refused are clearly too far away from being described as tourists.

Do a factory reset yourself if it'll put your mind at rest.

What constitutes a tourist though?  If you own a condo can you be a tourist for a few months a year when you visit the country?  If you come and go (for months), you pretty clearly are not a resident.  Does having friends in LOS make you not a tourist?

 

I mean it as an honest question.  The METV would make it seem like it is ok to spend 6 months coming in and out of the country, which might not be the traditional realm of a tourist, but it was common for backpackers decades ago to do that.

Ok Mr. Treetops you say they just want him to have the right visa to stay in Thailand long time and spend his money what visa is that?  He is 45 so can't get a retirement visa , has not married his Thai GF yet so can't get a visa or extension to stay by reason of marriege. A METV is supposed to give you up to 9 months stay in Thailand with extensions but now even after a  consulate or embassy has granted one IO's can say "no you stay too long."  Elite visa ? Kind of a waste of money ( $15,000 to $28,000 USD )especially if you don't wish to spend all your time in Thailand and elite is a tourist visa just as the METV is except they give you longer time and have to pay more.

I honestly don't know the answer, but a tourist as I see it does not stay 6 or 9 months at a time.  Elite Visa is not a tourist visa so probably more appropriate.

I currently have a METV, used so far for one trip where I entered and exited Thailand multiple times.  I intend to do the same before the visa expiry in January.  I think that is closer to the intended purpose of the METV than staying the 6 or 9 months mentioned.

I can't see it. Too many Emirates pages. Can you give me a link to that page please?

I can't get back to the mobile site.  When I selected "Full website" it must have saved that setting somewhere and I'm being sent straight there.  Try typing www.emirates.com into the address bar and it'll probably take you to the home page of the mobile site.  Scroll down and you should see what I mentioned.

https://www.renthub.in.th/en

This one?

Bottom of home page under the heading Site Tools is a link to the "Full website".

Why are they so scared of people spending lots of time (and money) in Thailand?

I think they're OK with people spending lots of time (and money) in Thailand, they just want them to have the right visa.  In this case, the OP doesn't appear to be a tourist but is using a tourist visa.

Nobody can guarantee 100% that there will never be an occasional blip in the system but what TW have done is talk to their three partner banks in Thailand who have agreed that should a rogue transfer go initially to the 'wrong' bank, that bank will supply us a 'Credit Advice Receipt' to confirm the transfer originated from abroad.

Good you have your Plan B in place and proven out, others may not be so lucky as there were reports of branches not supplying the "Credit Advice Receipt" or the "Confirmation Letter of International Transfer" which was the other document used to provide evidence (and only 10 baht in one report).

We should all be aware that despite the reason for transfer drop down now having the long stay in Thailand option available, Transferwise have said they still can not guarantee it will always show as an international transfer.  Keep a Plan B up to date to avoid a repeat of all the wailing from early July when things went wrong for a while.

Several posters says that the app doesn't work,so why try? Why don't you use the regular TM6 card and keep it stapled in your passport like 99% of the people entering Thailand do? Eventually you have to print it out anyway,so what will you gain from the TM6 app?

I have in the past created a completed TM6 and had the form and barcode number generated using the app.  It helps me because I'm normally <deleted> up on the flight and as said before:

The app. just allows you to do it at your leisure, automates part of the process and copies information from arrival side to departure side to prevent entry duplication.

I got the message "wrong e mail address" 

That doesn't indicate to me it's looking for a Thai address.

The app checks data from the top down so your Flight no./Vehicle no. field is being accepted.  Can you tell me what you put in there as that's where I'm getting knocked back?

My E-mail is not accepted. It have to be a Thai mail address

Can you advise what you entered in the Flight no./Vehicle no. field as I can't get past that.

What does it say or do that makes you think it must be a Thai email address?  Many Thais (including guesthouses and hotels) use generic hotmail.com or gmail.com addresses so how would they work?

On my previous application I used my own one.  On the paper version I use my own one.

Send it back and bring it in again.  It'll cost you, but at least you know you won't be refused on these grounds.

Same advice as when you asked for your friend a couple of months ago.

If guesthouse don not have an E-mail it stops. Is mandatory to fill in.

It's your own email address you put in.

I noticed it updated the other day so tried it again but it wouldn't accept whatever I typed in the Flight no./Vehicle no. field, despite entering the same as last time when I completed it successfully (although never managed to print it out).  Anyone else having the same problem?

If it would work, I would use it, as I said in the thread linked above:

I also struggle with scanning the MRZ on my passport so work is still needed there IME.
