You should be alright because you haven't spent time in thailand this year.

Finally

No issues, you don't need a travel insurance anymore

Kinda ironic because in the meantime  they are wondering why the tourists have stopped coming.

And of course they would have no idea why?

I would follow the advise from your school.

How are they going to reduce accidents and risk of death?

They cannot do risk management on the roads, building sites, or other things, so how will they "protect"tourists from accidents??

 

If you don'l let the tourists in you will protect them from having an accident in thailand.

I see no mention of devaluing the baht to make the exchange rate more attractive!

Why would that make any difference?

Just do it the thai way.... make everything more expensive

Every now and then one of these denied entry reports mentions tea money openly, or subtly, being requested. I think that is what this is really about. A METV is a flag that it is important for you to be here therefore "pay my toll". If you are too dense to figure it out - off you go then back the way you came. That will be my assumption if denied entry in the future or re-entry on my current METV when it is time to see Vietnam and return.

Totally agree.

Is there a difference between normal politics?

They're all saving their own ass. Do whatever it takes to keep that seat...

Why not start handing out winning lottery numbers for everyone?

Tourist Visa, if you had previously some Tourist visas your application will be considered more carefully. Vientiane is now, in most cases, asking for proof of funds, Book Bank with balance THB 20,000.- up OR print out from Bank account from home country value USD 700.-up. Onward air ticket is not required.

NOT 38.2 million tourists. 38.2 million ARRIVALS. Big difference

38.1 mln were denied entry at the bkk airports

Who would have thought a tourist visa and an occupation's competent certificate would do the trick?

don't drop your soap

Apply in your home country is in the current situation the best option.

Please let us know in the next couple of days if you got the ED visa?

I will for sure ask for this option...thank you.

Asked school manager in language school in Bangkok, she said "there is no such thing" ????

That doesn't mean anything. The school also tells you it's no problem to get a new ED visa in HCMC....

when they collect your money.

Your stomach is used to all that american <deleted> and junk food. as soon you eat real vegetables you got problems

Previously that’s how it was done, with the consulate outside of Thailand issuing the visa, but the woman at the school said that changed last week and the visa can now be issued by immigration inside Thailand. They had a lot of problems with people paying the school and being denied the visa at the consulate. I’m going around to a few other schools this afternoon to try and verify this.

Thanks for your effort to verify this. It would be really good news...

only darth vader can save us now
