  1. according to my agent in Phuket this is not true, she deals with thousands of Burmese here and most have valid passports BUT most will have trouble later in the year if they cant renew
  2. yes, after u exit immigration is the office or just ask the official at the desk> if at off hours, they will run down someone to do it, give urself an extra 15 minutes can also get one at Patong or blue tree immigration not just town
  3. HUH? i have stayed in Thailand for over 330 days/year for the past 20 years, Never paid any tax not since they did away with tax clearance back in the early 90's
  4. is ur ss payments made into ur US account? If so, sign up and use Wise, https://wise.com/ Best way to get ur $$ into ur thai bank marked correctly and at the lowest fees. thats how i get my $$ here otherwise do as stated above, an have ur SS$ paid into the Bangkok bank NY branch which will transfer it to ur thai bangkok bank
  5. so in samui u cant buy or sell a car/bike, or get, renew ur license OR is this all handled over in Surat Thani
  6. to get a residency certificate u need file a TM 30 OR stay in a hotel and get the hotel to give you a screen shot when they report you dont expect to get a license in 2 days unless ur really lucky> Here in Phuket there is a 2 month backlog, even Phang nga is at least a week did you do https://www.dlt-elearning.com/Passport yet?
  7. Wont make a hiccup at all, as no one will even know, as its included in the ticket, same as the departure tax has been for decades
  8. has anyone seen any thing concerning will Khmers, Laos, Burmese, Malays be forced to pay 150 baht each time they cross the land border from their own countries> seems unfair if they are, yet work permit holders are exempted>
  9. never knew that was possible Except at immigration
  10. ahhh i see ur first extension was 1 year but the second was 2: maybe that will happen with us next year as this new L-A visa was after we spent 16 months living back in Cambodia> her previous L-A visas/extensions were always 2 years
  11. That was NOV 2022> since than the embassy has STOPPED issuing new passports or renewing old ones last month https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/myanmar-junta-stops-issuing-passports.html WE just got my back my wife's Non La-A visa here in phuket, converted from a tourist visa entry in nov, the new visa & WP are ONLY valid for 1 year and the wp is a credit card sized card. please show this new digital visa as its news to me speaking with the agent, this will create a huge upcoming problem
  12. BUT at the top of my NON O stamp is states Non Immigrant VISA Some people just wont see the facts
  13. Personal experience, both these borders are easy as well: Ban Pakard Chantaburi to Phsar Prom Palin Ban Laem Chantaburi to Daung Lem Battambang no scammers, no hassles
  14. PHUKET: 90 day report not needed, i got a cor on a visa exempt entry with screen shot of the tm30 report the hotel did when i checked in passport copy, vise exempt entry stamp copy used it to buy a bike and get an appt for motorcycle license
  15. dont forget to have her sign all copies ( don't need originals) CHECK; as for phuket, you need a POA from the landlord copy; ur passport, your initial entry stamp an current visa/extension & lease Supposed to be within 24 hours, but how would they know when ya moved ???? Did mine last week in Phuket
  16. FYI : Cambodia /Burmese is still only 15 days
  17. yes tea money They get 30 day visa exempt , ( NOT 45) Unlimited by land or flying or can get a normal 60 day tourist visa OR a 1 year NON L-A visa, ( used to be 2) and wp if they have a job. very affordable for Laos, Burmese and Khmers
  18. Maneerat in Pattaya IF you live in Pattaya ( or are willing to travel to Pattaya) IF you have a Bangkok Bank account> ( otherwise you need pay to open one) and i was told by them 27,000 to convert a visa exempt to non o + a 1 year YES <12,500 to ONLY do a 1 year extension IF YOUR IN PATTAYA I used thaivisacentre.com with a scb account and i am in Phuket, I added up the cost to travel to Pattaya , stay a night and back an it was not worth the savings + i would have had to pay an extra 5,000 or so for a Bangkok bank account For Cambodia, any bank for Laos must be in a thai bank FYI : banana GH in Penang is closed an even Jim on Chula street is no longer open
  19. FORGET IT< there are no agents in PP that can help ya if you dont have the funds I lived in Cambodia and checked before i moved back to Phuket last nov. I entered using visa exempt and than got my non O- 1 year using an agent in Thailand
  20. closest to Sa Kaeo is poi pet which is not an ideal border crossing> Bangkok- Border by train/tuk tuk 4+ hours, bus 4 hours in and out Cambodia will ask for 300-500 baht from you, PLUS the cost of the visa ($30) if you dont stay one night. everyone needs exit thailand, enter Cambodia, and return> what visa does the Laos citizen have?
  21. nope; they were using Ya Ba Thai parents are the out of sight, out of mind when it comes to parenting
  22. racing on the main road thru Kamala, Running red lights Kidnapping girls ( back in 2018) smoking pot on the beach Playing techno music on the beach disturbing others siting nearby
  23. sad: https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/shooting-on-phuket-bus-injures-2-police-surrounding-gunman-still-in-the-vehicle/
  24. ??? i gave u a pic of my NON O visa issued in Trang ( which is in Thailand) yet still you claim it cant be done> some people just cant face the fact they are wrong and what does a re entry permit have to do with anything discussed here?? of course i used it ???? and got stamped in for 3 months
