  1. Btw, when using an agent, you may still need to buy insurance for 6k on top of that 4k agent fee.
  2. Yes, this requirement is truly unsurmountable lol.
  3. Are you sure they were Chinese and not Japanese or Korean?
  4. At least they're better than the Chinese.
  5. In non-tourist provinces they will just get rid of you with the "work permit" catch, same as in Bangkok.
  6. Haha, of course it's "most visited" because most international flights land there and people may stay a night before moving to their planned destination in Thailand.
  7. I just need to know what to do if the situation arises. I'm talking about avoiding overstay implications, such as inability to get certain visas in the future.
  8. It's not really relevant. Imagine if a person had a flight booked for the last day of his visa, but got sick and couldn't go anywhere. What papers from the doctor do they need to avoid overstay when they're finally well enough to leave, say in the next couple of days?
  9. I'm talking about real tourist locations, like Pattaya, Phuket, Samui etc. A lot of tourists open accounts with Bangkok Bank.
  10. To give a more realistic example: A person may have food poisoning for a couple of days (we're in Thailand, remember?). It's probably not enough for a medical extension, but it definitely makes them unfit to travel.
  11. Bangkok Bank easily opens accounts for tourists, at least in tourist locations. They will just ask you to buy accident insurance from them for around 6k baht.
  12. What is the prescribed course of action when a person is genuinely unable to leave the country by the specified date? For example, a person may be sick and unfit to travel. How to avoid fines and an overstay stamp in the passport, which may prevent obtaining some visas in the future? What is the paperwork required? Anyone had an experience?
  13. For that matter, even "permanent residency" is not really permanent and can be revoked if you leave the country and forget to get reentry permit.
  14. I agree, in lots of countries simply marrying a citizen is a easy way to citizenship. In most cases, they get permanent residence right away and after some years in the country obtain citizenship.
  15. The visa is truly long term, extendable indefinitely every 12 months. Unlike the tourist visa, which can be extended only once by 30 days.
  16. Haha, you're right, it should be called "Non-Immigration". ????
  17. I took my blood pressure before and after drinking coffee - the increase was noticeable.
  18. Just smoke weed and don't worry.
  19. I thought most Myanmar people in Thailand are working migrants, same as Cambodians. Didn't know Thailand can give them an asylum (or anyone else, for that matter). Btw, do Cambodians need a visa and work permit to work in Thailand?
  20. It doesn't make much sense to me. I understand why education or retirement visas are considered "non-immigrant" as they don't lead to any permanent (immigrant) status in the country. But what about marriage or work visas? They are called non-immigrant too, although they do lead to a permanent status (permanent residence or citizenship). Or am I missing something?
  21. Are they same as sponsoredworkpermit.com? I contacted them before about Non-B visa, and they quoted me a ridiculous price of around 100k per year plus around 10k every month!
  22. The money doesn't have to be in the Thai baht, it can be in any acceptable currency.
  23. But since you're already off covid extensions, there should not be a problem. The problem was that I was on a covid extension and they told me I should use an airport to clear it. Which of course was bullsh*t.
