Why do you need visa agents? They are sharks. Many of them are criminals as well. I hate them.

Obviously he ain't got the 800,000 baht Bank requirements. And probably no medical insurance either. There's 1000s of the no hope freeloaders 

As Winston Churchill said it spoils a good walk.🤣😂. Grown men walking around a field knocking little balls into holes a sport ! come on 

Cheap job even with genuine parts. Don't buy online almost certain to be cheaper fakes especially in the Land of Scams.

500 baht fine, next!

No insurance required for METV, and there never was only during covid. But would not recommend travelling without it if anything serious happens you can get financial wiped out. Especially in thieving Thailand 

Why you losers what to live in a dog hole permanently is beyond me. Snow Bird is the way to go 🤣⛱️🤣

I'm in the Bangkok Pattaya hospital next week for a 9 inch nob reduction, your quite welcome to the surplus. 

Confusius he say never sell bricks and mortar especially U.K. 

In a nutshell they are a horrible conniving untrustworthy race of people.  Nuff said.

No, some falang (German) and some Thai.

That's why I wouldn't buy a box of matches in Thailand. Not to worry the rubbish buildings will be falling down within 5yrs. Then your maintenance problems Will be over

Looking ahead a little, as a Brit in Chiang Mai on a 60 day tourist visa, and wanting to extend … please share any thoughts or advice.

 

• ·        The standard extension application is for 30 days and you cannot usually get a second 30 days.

   

• ·        There is the possibility of a further 7 days but I think the qualifying criteria is restrictive, and discretionary.

   

• ·        I know there is now the possibility of applying online (for a fee) and it seems an attractive option to save sitting in an Immigration office but any general advice would be appreciated.

   

• ·        As another option (to gain a few more days before returning to the UK) would a trip to Vietnam, for example, before the end of the 30 day extension period make sense on the basis of then re-entering Thailand and getting another 30 days on a visa-exempt basis?

   

Many thanks in anticipation.

 

Pop over to Laos nicer people and country. Come back visa exempt 30 days 

If Chinese tourist are treated like European tourists it's the old 2 fingers up to Thailand.

I want to get turkey  visa for my Filipina girlfriend. Turkish embassy is in  Bangkok and we plan to fly Phuket. She needs to leave passport in embassy for 2-4 weeks for visa. But now we can fly to Phuket from Bangkok if she doesn’t have passport ? Passport will be in embassy. And I don’t want to wait in Bangkok. Any advice?

Get a bus to Phuket

Most people across the world would think it is wrong, utterly.

 

But the only way they could fix it would be to bring in something as big as Disney. It would attract  Indian families, boost domestic demand and offer jobs to young Thai graduates.

 

 

That's a real Mickey Mouse, statement. 😂😅🤣

The 1-year MultipleEntry Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage is still available.

There are 2 ways to get hold of it:

#1 - By eVisa application, which will then be handled by the Thai Embassy in your home-country (or country of permanent residence).  Note that the regulations stipulate that you need to be in your home-country when applying for the eVisa, but obviously when using a home-country set VPN to do the application on-line, there will be no way they can check whether you are indeed in your home-country when doing the application.  However, after successful application and entering Thailand an attentive and vigilant border-official might notice from your Passport stamps that you were not in your home-country when applying for the eVisa.  But the risk of that being very very small. 

#2 - By applying for it at a Thai Embassy/Consulate of a Thailand neigbouring country that provides that particular Visa. The most used and easiest one being the Thai consulate in Savannakhet, Laos (just over the border usng the Friendship bridge from Mukdahan).  Note that since approx 1 month the requirements when applying for that Visa have been tightened, and you now also need to provide proof of +400K on a personal Thai bank-account.  Several applicants after that transition not aware of that overnight added rule, only did receive the 90-day SingleEntry Non Imm O Visa for reason of marriage instead of the 1-year MultipleEntry they wanted. 

Never mind VPN, when applying for an Evisa you need to provide an airline ticket from your home country. No ticket equals No visa. Simple

Just walk out the hospital when you feel better and fly home to get proper treatment. Tell em to stick the 400K!
 

legally he doesn’t have to pay a penny. 
 

despite what anyone says, it is a hospitals duty to accept any and all emergency cases without question. Im not saying to walk out without paying is morally right, thats another story, but legally he doesn’t have to pay a cent. 

Don't worry they'll have his passport, spouting your usual rubbish 

Rent, dirt cheap and you can move within 24 hours. Never buy a condo in Thailand they're not worth a carrot. I made an offer of 6 pork sausages for one last week and the cheeky b×gger turned it down. 🤣😅🤣

Single entry tourist visa. 60 days on entry,  plus 30 days at local immigration office. Very easy to do nowadays. Unfortunately you're going to have to do it twice. multi entry tourist visa if your 2 trips are less than 6 months apart
