Why is Thai immigration so <deleted>ty?
Dan O replied to gejohesch's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I suspect the first flag was the visa from a country other than your home country passport. Couple that with your travel history and it can be an instant trigger that your not a normal tourist and as a result the extra questions. Immigration agent are not stupid and they've seen every type of shady visitor you can imagine. F that's the case then additional questions are warranted. If you have nothing to hidind then answer the questions and move along. Don't forget there's extra pressure on IO's because of the chinese issue so extra scrutiny across the board -
Passport about to expire
Dan O replied to sanook 1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
In thailand its a recommendation on the 6 month not a law. They have the descretion at all times to deny entry for any number of reasons. Airlines action are separate and they have guidance on their IATA system of the regulations of each country they fly to. If they make a decision on their own it may be their own policy which may or may not match the Thai guidance. 2 different issues. As I said before I believe Thailand will only stamp you in for the length of your passport validity. You can't be in country with an expired pp is my understanding of the regulations, regardless of your visa category. We don't seem to agree so that's fine. Have a great day -

Airlines follow the country regulations registered with IATA system that shows on their screen at check in. I believe Thailand only recommends 6 months remaining at time if entry but not a law to issue a visa but will only stamp your permission to stay thru your expiry date on your pp -

I should have written with more clarity. The visa will be a 12 month visa but that only grants you the ability to enter the country in that category with its restriction. But upon entering the country you are stamped in for on a permission to stay and I believe they will only stamp you until your pp expiry date. If you renew the pp before the expiry they will transfer the stamp (new stamp) to the new pp and extend the date. Again I may be wrong but if memory serves me that what happened to me several years ago in similar situation -

I believe they will issue it to match the expiration of his passport if he doesn't get a new pp before and not the full 12 months. I may be incorrect but that's my understanding -
URGENT - VAT SCAM at large - advice please . . . .

Real agents of the govt don't call and collect over the phone. Any app downloaded can skim all data, past and present from the phone including copying key strokes from the future log ins. Make sure you delete the app and clean the phone if any virus that was probably installed. Change pin numbers at the bank but not on that phone. Contact the bank and any credit card apps you have and change those pin numbers too. -
Not true. Once admitted they will not discharge for lack of funds as your as payment or insurance is taken care of after the fact in almost all cases

I went with the Debit Jad Hai D Visa card. All the same benefits and a cheaper annual fee. Be aware the Krungsri has been closing many branch banks in low volume areas lately. They just closed another one in my town today, leaving only the Mall branch and the atms scattered around the town. They've done that in several areas recently

Many small stores that sell gas stoves also sell parts. Most cities or towns have a couple places like that. Not sure where you are but if you take the good knob with you they should be able to match it. If not contact the mfr.

Everyone going on about the Red Notice but that's not why he was picked up. They grabbed him because his Student Visa was canceled for not attending class and he was on overstay. The Red Notice is mentioned because it's on file and an added bit to make the news article exciting. It's up to Poland to decide what to do after he's deported.

Thai PM urged to reconsider decriminalisation of cannabis
Dan O replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They lost money because investors expected every user to buy from dispensaries and they drove share price to inflated levels. Once decriminalized many people take it on to grow and supply themselves as there is minimized need for dispensaries at a high volume and the share prices collapsed to a more normalized level. -
There's 1 across from King Power on Rang Nam Alley on the just before the 2nd soi on the left and another farther down 3 or 4 soi's on the right. That one you have to walk a bit down the soi. Google is your friend
