  1. NOT TRUE: you can pay in thai baht but they will ask for 1,500 baht why would anyone pay extra for a Cambodian evisa? Pre covid 300 baht was the price if only doing a turn around there better, enter, go to the casino and have lunch than return to thailand what border checkpoints are generally considered to be the friendly/easy ones? Pong Nam Ron/ Pailin Surin/Osmach
  2. often if u are entering on a visa exempt, you can ask for the supervisor an sign a waiver that makes the airline NOT responsible to send you back if ur denied entry
  3. And they called for the government to take action and introduce measures that might prevent a repeat of the tragedy. and once they figure it out. please tell the US how to stop mass shootings at schools
  4. if ur staying at a hotel in phuket , they need Register you, ask for the receipt, go to immigration and do paperwork for the tm30, after thats issued get the certificate > its FREE although they seem to be asking 300 baht if u look like you dont know when i sold a car last year inn Phuket, i an the buyer just went to the office and transferred it over, only asked to see my passport
  5. Use Jim on Chula street, been around since the 90's and also spot on an helpful across from Banana GH
  6. get your 90 day non o< you do NOT NEED a WP open a bank account, 800,000 needs be in bank 60days before applying for extension> getting new extension has been next day for a few years now Getting Certificate of residency, never paid for it , always got it within 30 minutes never had any problems at phuket immigration going back 30+ years except ONCE TM30 when the house i rented was owned by the daughter of the land owner, so needed 2 POA's ????
  7. the above is for a Non O-A NOT a NON O also not all immigrations ask you to return to show ur money is in the bank after the extension is issued, Phuket does not
  8. I know more than a few expats in Phuket that have had a bad experience with immigration an do not want to ever deal with them again! using an agent means NO MORE dealing with immigration again!
  9. I moved over to Cambodia ( Kep) last year< easy visa $290-300/year plenty of places to rent although I built a house, ( got Khmer wife) rents are 20% less than Phuket but standards are 50% less see rooms from $100 to 2 bedroom homes around $250-300 in Kampot or Kep Just about everything BUT drinking alcohol an smoking cigs cost more but easy to live on lousy food, ( street food is under $2 BUT stay away from it) for under $5/meal if thats ur thing Got land and house for sale an heading back to Phuket
  10. as he is applying a non o for his wife as dependent, does she still need the 800,000?
  11. what reason given? did u have a thai marriage and other paperwork? get her a job ( or someone willing to "hire" her) and apply for an L-A visa 9 thats what i do for my Cambodian partner 2 year visa with wp and medical card ... only costs me 10,000 baht
  12. unless ur ex is a bitch and reports you, immigration wont know ur divorced till ur next extension is due and u cant get the paperwork so you have till then to figure something out
  13. Wang Prachun crossing ( Satun) is a very easy crossing, both immigrations are done staying in ur car< Its a great ride down as well an the weekend markets are good. You do need ur own transport, started using it as got tried of always having to remove tint from my front windows on entering Malaysia ???? from Sadao from Samui stay on the east coast For a extra trip head down to Betong as the drive from Yalla to there is fantastic and cross there, Betong is the entertainment capital of Southern thailand
  14. in Phuket, if u have the cash in the bank, most agents seem to charge 10,000 to do the work for ya no money its up to 16,000 pop over to Cambodia, get the Business visa on arrival ( $35 ) and open a 1 year account , interest, depending, on bank is 6-7% pays for the agent
  15. rent a car, (1,000- 1, 500 baht) gas apx 1,000 baht, Cambodian visa $30, (1, 500 baht if u pay in Baht) Pong Nam Ron border crossing, there an back in around 8 hours with stops ( apx 450 kms) you do the math if you can split it with one other.......
  16. exactly not illegal , the visa's/extension are 100% legit
  17. if using a visa agent is illegal, why are there so many out there still in business and tons of satisfied customers??
  18. question; have a thai bank account ( less than 800,000) and i moved to Cambodia for a year, now am retuning> I have the $$ but want bring it with me rather than transfer it in to convert a visa exempt to a 90 day non o can I ? PHUKET or does it need be transferred in
  19. Hotels CAN NOT offer a lower price online than the price that you get on any booking site> it is in violation of their agreement. if they did they would be kicked OFF the booking site sometimes, not often, you can get a better rate booking direct. Many times people find that they walk in, get a price which is higher than agoda lets say an ask to get that price and are refused, so you use the hotels wifi and book via agoda an all is good ????
  20. Phuket ( kamala) gets my vote, its at heart a rural moslem village but with the added expat stuff walkable to everything< plenty of places to rent & eat The mtns at ur back , beach in front 20+ years and when ever i leave i cant wait to get back home
  21. Just wondering, do i require an onward ticket out of Thailand if i choose to enter from Cambodia overland and getting a visa exempt after Oct 1st ( 45 days)?
  22. to apply / convert from a visa exempt or tourist visa for the non o u need show 800,000 in the bank than, as long as ur Baht is in the bank 2 month before you apply for the 1 year extension> your good to go..... most arrivals need the 1 month extension to season their baht in the bank, as you already have that>>> as said. a walk in the park
  23. that is a passport issued in the states< NOT overseas. the pilot porgram is ONLY if ur in the states: ...." You live in the United States (either state or territory). You do not qualify to renew online if you live in a foreign country or have an Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) address."
  24. Satun ( Wang Prachan.. apx Drive 6-7 hours, nice market on weekends) no bus to border) is a nicer drive down than Sado via Hat yai IF, but Its NOT OPEN, Burma, Ranong/Kwathong. Bus Phuket- Ranong 6 hours, drive it in 4
  25. Here in Kep Cambodia i often see women swimming in the sea not only fully dressed ( they dont wear bathing suits here) BUT with a mask on as well Plus as in thailand often see drivers with windows up, travelling alone with a mask on in their car CRAZY
