If they shutter the borders, what will that mean for next high season and those coming for 4 to 6 months on METV's needing to do border runs? I come for 5.5 months each winter and need to do 2 visa runs each year. It would be great to see if they changed this in some way to eliminate the need to do visa runs to the border every 60 days, perhaps with a couple of 60 day extensions instead.

My prior experience with this I found to be extremely intrusive. They required a copy of all my bank transactions for the previous 90 days, plus my name attached to the bank account, bank branch and transit codes. If that site ever got hacked, the hacker would have wide open access to my bank account. Hopefully they can put a little common sense into this requirement, but more important, that systems are secure.

I've been coming to Thailand since 2008. I retired in 2014 and now spend just short of 6 months each winter here, always coming in on a multi-entry tourist visa. I've been with the same thai lady now for 10 years. We just bought a condo together and wanted to open up a joint account to pay our bills. Bangkok Bank says I need a residence certificate, but Jomtien Immigration won't issue me one right now. Complete over-reaction on Thailands part. Thanks to the bad guys, the good guys suffer, and Thailand shoots themselves in the foot.

Many insurance companies have a list of exclusions that is far more comprehensive than their list of inclusions. And you have to fight for any claims as you end up dealing with an adjuster who gets paid a commission for everything he saves on a claim. Insurance ... the biggest scam ever invented.

Whatever you're smoking must be really good, because there are many of us who can't wait to get rid of Trudeau. He talks and takes but doesn't deliver and has been running the country into the ground for the past 9 years. And lets not forget all of his past scandels. Even his wife got tired of the egotisticle jerk.

They are going to have to significantly improve processing times for the evisa system before they try implementing. I come to Thailand for 5.5 to 6 months each winter. It took 8 weeks to get an METV last year and 7 weeks the year before. I'm already closing in on 5 weeks this year with no response yet, and getting really frustrated with the system. Agents are telling you to wait until 1 month before arrival to book a condo rental, but you need accomodations confirmed before they will issue the evisa. Total disconnect. Also, how is this going to work for people doing border runs on the visa exempt system if you have to get your application submitted 1.5 to 2 months before doing your border run?
