Can use agent to avoid issues

But there is any issues if you don't cancel an extension based upon marriage. You can get other type of extension, no problem

Why waste time to go the immigration office to cancel it? Just leave the country prior the valid date of your extension and it will be automatically canceled. Easy Unless you want to do a border bounce, then yes, it should be canceled at the immigration office prior to do a border bounce

However, the e-visa website says that you can't make an online payment if you are applying at the thai embassy in vientiane. So i think you must go to pay for the visa in person

That's awesome then, I could easily use a statement from my wise saving account! Thanks for the info!

Ok great. But what about the bank statement? It's also accepted wise statement or revolut? A Thai bank statement is also accepted? If for example I'd like to apply for a tourist visa in Laos

I don't think it can be difficult to apply for a tourist visa and show only 20000 THB in a bank account. It's a little money

It's always about money. Thai embassies need money. Easy to understand. By the way, let's say the 60 days exemption will drop to 30 days again and so I would prefer to apply for a tourist visa outside Thailand, for example I would need to apply for it in my country or in another Asian country (for example Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos) can I also show 20,000 THB in my Thai bank account or it must be shown on my foreign bank account only? I have wise and revolut as a foreign savings account Can I walk in to the Thai embassy to apply or is only possible to apply on the e-visa website? It's my id card or passport accepted as proof of residence if for example I'm applying for a tourist visa while I'm in Laos?

It was my best time in thailand during this covid pandemic. No traffic jam, not much noisy and drunk people, very quiet! Good if they make close all the borders and airports again. Can get extensions to remain in the country haha

A friend of mine likes to come to Thailand since 2016. He just came back to Thailand after staying out of the country for almost 6 months, the immigration officer just asked him how long he is going to stay in Thailand and what he do here. After he answered he got the stamp. It only took a few minutes, no problem at all By the way, if I was in your situation i would probably use the safe entry service just to be safer. Pay more money but no entry issues at least. All good and no stress 👍

then he likes to take the risk

use safe entry and no problem

sorry to say that but it's absurd that in 2025 some people do not even have an old smartphone

This is not the case if you were on extension based upon marriage but you didn't cancel it the day of divorce. You can apply for another type of extension, for example retirement extension, even if you didn't cancel the previous extension based upon marriage A friend of mine had an extension based upon marriage but he got divorced and exited Thailand without cancel the extension at the immigration office. He came back with a tourist visa and then he applied for a retirement extension. No issues at all

So this is a case only for education and work extensions? No problem if you want to apply for marriage extension or retirement extensions?

But if the education extension is expired he can apply for other type of visa and extensions. Like in the case of marriage visas or retirement visa. When it's expired is automatically invalid anyway Or maybe it is a different case for education visa/extensions? It must be cancelled before applying for other type of visas or extensions?

Not true. A friend of mine was married to a Thai but he got divorced and he remained in Thailand without cancel the extension based upon marriage. He left the country before the expiration of the extension and months later he got other type of visa and extension with no issues at all

but if you pay more money it might last forever

Just exit the country and then come back again. Many foreigners are paying visa agencies just to get a DTV to stay long term

A friend of mine told me that you should add the last country that bring you to thailand on the country where you boarded. Immigration don't care if you have started to fly from your country of origin. So if you have a layover to another airport, just add the connecting flight that will bring you to thailand

I always knew that is better to avoid extending DTV at immigration office. The best thing is to do a border bounce or just fly to another asian country and then come back. Easy easy! No stress

So if for example you start to fly from UK, you should add UK on the country where you boarded, while you should add the connecting flight to Thailand as flight number, does it look fine like that?

It's possible to add 2 flights number on the tdac flight number info? If the flight to Thailand has also one connecting flight before the arrival into the country. Just to avoid possible issues at the immigration

it's just a free exemption stamp, not a tourist visa. And obtaining a tourist visa in your country is a proper visa by the way. I don't understand why you should be denied entry if you come back with a tourist visa every 6 months for example

I said many times, just avoid female officers. They are bipolar and always moody
