    At airports, it's 10,000 per person, 20,000 per family if you are entering "Visa on Arrival" where you apply for and pay for a 15-day visa at the airport. If you are arriving "visa exempt" it's 20,000 per person or 40,000 per family. At land borders, it's generally 10,000 per person.

    The system that sends the e-mails has no idea that you left the country. It's simply set to e-mail you 90 days after your previous online submission.

    Except this post isn't about marriage extensions. It's about education extensions, which you DO have to cancel.

    The BOI LTR website has a list of approved agents for work with the BOI. But as far as "do everything for you." The only thing they can do is take the information that you have to gather yourself and submit it on your behalf. You still have to get all the information, as the agent won't have access to your bank accounts, your work and tax records, etc.

    I'm not sure how you got to page 10 of a thread where it's indicated time and time and time again that you can ONLY DO IT WITHIN 3 DAYS OF ARRIVAL.

    You are making way more out of it than necessary. There are people that NEVER do 90-day reports and just pay 2000 baht fine every year at the time of their extension.
  7. BrandonJT
    This is all correct. But you must be careful with this. It does not get added to the end of your stamp like the previous extension. The 7 days will start the day you apply. So you can't do it early or you won't gain anything.

    ALL land borders with Myanmar are closed to foreigners for many years. Including Mae Sai, or any crossing in Kanchanaburi.

    Then people who don't do so and don't check their stamp assuming that the immigration just magically knows they have a visa, can enjoy the trip back to the airport to get it fixed.
  10. BrandonJT
    They don't send them back. They instead give them the incorrect entry stamp (visa exempt) and then they have to go back to the airport to get it fixed. All because they didn't hand over the visa when they arrived as the e-visa site tells them to.
  11. BrandonJT
    And the airports are even riskier than the land borders!

    What's irrational about it? If you're in the office they need to attend to you immediately. If they are not busy, they can process the online submissions, which are also processed by someone in your local immigration office. Those can wait, while people in the office are the priority for them.

    A point of correction, immigration decides where you fly back to. They have the decision to let you fly wherever you want, to make you fly back to the country your flight originated from, or to make you fly back to your passport country. Depends on their mood, and probably your demeanor as well.

    That's because there is no more appointment booking system. ALL Thai embassies are now on the official Thai e-visa system. No appointment involved. You apply online, go to the embassy during designated hours and pay, and then wait for your visa.

    There are indications that the TDAC may become a required piece of information for future extensions or applications, similar to how you used to need a copy of your TM6 card. The BOI recently posted a guide on transferring your visa to a new passport, and one of the requirements was a copy of your TDAC if you entered on or after May 1st.

    There is no new digital visa. There is a new digital arrival card, that replaces the paper form you used to get on the airplane. It does not ask a single difficult question. If you cannot provide answers to the handful of questions they ask, you probably shouldn't be traveling outside of your home country.

    Except they ARE the same system. A LOCAL immigration officer sits in front of a computer and processes the online TM47, EXACTLY THE SAME as if you were standing in front of them at the immigration office.

    This is the 2nd Karaoke Bar busted in Mae Chan in just a few weeks. Underage entertainment must be a booming business north of Chiang Rai.

    That limit was removed in July 2024 when the 60-day visa exempt regulation came online. The previous limit of 2 visa exempt land border entries per year was attached to the 30-day visa exempt program and was pre-empted by the new visa exempt regulations.
  20. BrandonJT
    What are you talking about? The TM47 IS the 90-day reporting system. They are one in the same.
  21. BrandonJT
    There's no such thing as having 2 90-day reports. If a new one was filed for you early by the immigration office, that is the only one. Your next report is 90 days from that date. There is no difference between online reports and in-person reports. One is not separate from the other.
  22. BrandonJT
    That depends on your immigration office. Most require you to report after returning from overseas, but some do not as long as it's the same address. I'm not sure how a new passport plays into that. But waiting a few days likely won't make a difference despite the legal requirement is 24 hours. You'll have to wait until at least Tuesday though as Friday and Monday are both holidays.
  23. BrandonJT
    Most likely no issues with this. Especially if it's only 2 visas, and from different embassies.
  24. BrandonJT
    You need to be married for 2 months according to Tod. So apply for the 60-day "Visiting Thai Family" extension. That's 2 months. Theoretically that should give you enough time. But I don't know if applying for non-O from that requires the 15 days like it does from visa exempt, so I would try to apply for that as late as possible since it will not be added to the end of your existing stamp but will start on the day you apply.

    They basically have to have your passport information in order to quote you the price, since they have to check with their contacts at the airport with your information to see if you have any red flags associated that would change the pricing.
