You bet. Bullies always pick on the weak.

@GanDoonToonPet The April flight in from the UK should be fine. The July Cambodian border bounce should not be done by air. Use an agent van service for a land crossing. If you do use air, probably best to use safe entry service that @thai006 linked above. Using one or the other of these methods will increase your chance of hassle-free entry in July from 85 - 90% to 100%.

As a very rough rule of thumb, if you have spent over 50% of the last 12 months or the last 24 months in Thailand on Visa Exempt and Tourist Visas, you run the risk of being denied entry. In this case, I strongly believe the 15 days is completely irrelevant. You would need to look at the denied person's travel history over the last 12 - 24 months. I was denied entry in 2019 having spent a month in the UK. The reason was I was spending around 75% of my time in Thailand on METV's. (Of course, they do not overtly state that, you have to figure it out.)

Is that a reversed video image or did the driver move over to the passenger seat or is that a front seat passenger in yellow? Either way the person in yellow straight away within a few seconds of smashing through a plate glass window starts tapping on her phone. I am sure I would not do that. Is that tremendous peace of mind, phone addiction or was she using the phone when she crashed?

Sadly the same thing is happening in Europe due to these ridiculous theories. The result is children / adults left with life-long medical issues unnecessarily. A quite intelligent guy at work in the UK confided in me that Covid vaccines had tracking capability. It amazes me what people will believe. There is a critical percentage of unvaccinated people in the population that will eventually lead to an outbreak. That number is now being reached.

It would be interesting to receive some first hand experiences. The DTV is still quite new though. It is possible even after having the old passport details and DTV details entered in the new passport, Immigration at the border ask to see the old passport. I could see that happening. Also I could see border officials instructing you to go to an Immigration Office. And if you didn't go and had repeated further entries with an old and a new passport, what would they do? It is also possible that the Immigration at the border might enter the old passport details into the new passport thus saving a trip to an Immigration Office. With multiple entry evisas, the system of linking the new passport details to the evisa is not clear.

2 obvious choices and many others dependent on your resourcefulness. i. Teach English in a language school. ii. Set up your own company and work for yourself. For the unqualified without a globally - transferrable profession (e.g. civil engineering, petrochemical, I.T., etc.) and I include myself, expect to work twice as long for the same pay or receive half your salary when working in Thailand in comparison to Farangland. I doubt it will work unless you and your wife can live really cheap or have decades-worth of savings to live off.

This is, at the very least, worth exploring. Many countries have experimented with decriminalisation. Their experiences can be used to learn from. It is worth pointing out in this case, he is charged with supply not possession. So, it was a business decision.

You have not answered @shdmn's question nor my questions. Your answers seem relevant to those on extensions due to retirement which I assume you are on. They are not relevant to this DTV thread. DTV holders can extend but rarely do as the evisa is multiple entry. Upon entry with a new passport, the passport number on the evisa would not match the passport number on the new passport. That is the question, what to do in that situation. It is okay to say that you do not have a DTV and you don't know the answer. Not knowing is okay.

I am not sure what you mean. How do you "transfer visa details" when they are not in the old passport, but they are on an evisa? In addition, the question really refers to entering Thailand with an evisa showing the old passport number and a new passport with a new passport number. This may happen multiple times over the 5-year life of the DTV as holders may go in and out of Thailand several times a year. You answer has not addressed this. As you appear familiar with this issue, could you address these two points?

As a very, very rough rule of thumb, how many days out of the last year have you spent in Thailand? Is it over 180 days? Are you entering on Visa Exempt or Tourist Visa? If so, there is no guarantee you won't be pulled aside. It all depends on a split second decision by the Immigration Officer.

Every sentence in this post is completely wrong and shows a total misunderstanding and utter ignorance of the immigration system.

This is a crime that Chinese specialise in. I expect Chinese criminal gangs to be running this.

What to say, I mean really, with a short fuse like this, how did he make it to 69 years old without being locked up or killed. I expect alcohol, gambling or drugs comes into it somewhere.
