Hi everyone, I’m currently exploring ways to stay long-term in Vietnam and am looking for an agency, company, or individual who can help sponsor a work permit/TRC, even if I’m not planning to take up an active job. I understand this is a bit of a grey area, so I’m only looking for someone with experience handling such cases for foreigners — ideally with a clean, reliable process. ✅ Willing to pay for the service ✅ Open to options like company setup, nominal roles, etc. If you have any leads, personal experience, or trustworthy agents, please feel free to DM me or drop a comment. Appreciate any help! Thanks 🙏

Let's say Vietnam/Cambodia for example with a flight and also the case via route with a Bus/Van. I wanted to know if there's any health check to do in order to export and import 2 cats other than the vaccination which they already have.

Yeah, thanks, I simply don't want to get any surprise at borders, so I need real experiences

Maybe I’m looking for someone who actually has experience with this? What do you think?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to travel out of Thailand and want to bring my two cats with me. Both are healthy and fully vaccinated, but I’m a bit overwhelmed by the process. I’d love to ask: Does anyone have a step-by-step guide or personal experience traveling with cats from Thailand? Do you know any pet relocation agents, contacts, or vets who can help with the paperwork and procedures? Any tips on the required documents, airport process, or airline advice? I’d be super grateful for any information or recommendations you can share 🙏 Thank you in advance!

Hey, just to clarify — I'm using my account to help other people, not asking for myself. This isn’t about the same person or case you’ve replied to before on the FTV post. It’s a different situation, different people — I just try to speak in first person when asking so the answers are more direct and easier for them to follow. I'm not trying to mislead anyone or push any agenda. Just trying to help folks who aren’t in the forum or don't feel comfortable posting themselves. If you find that pathetic, that’s your take — no hard feelings. Honestly, I have no clue how it could come across that way, but I get that everyone has their own standards for what’s credible. Appreciate the space regardless.

Hi everyone, I'm currently in Thailand on a tourist visa and I'm looking to apply for an ED (Education) visa for the second time. I already completed a 1-year student visa before, but this time I’m trying to find a more affordable option. Last time I paid 52K THB, which is way too much for me now. I'm hoping to find something cheaper, ideally under 20K THB if possible. I'm open to any kind of course — Thai, English, Chinese, or anything else — I’m not focused on the subject, just looking for the cheapest legitimate option to stay in the country legally. Here’s what I’m looking for: 🏫 Cheapest ED visa school available right now (online preferred). 💳 Any schools that allow installment payments instead of full upfront fees? 🧑‍💻 I’d prefer a program that includes online or hybrid classes, with minimal in-person attendance. 📍 Can I do the 90-day extension stamps at any immigration office, or does it need to be where the school is registered? 🚫 Most importantly, I’d like to do the entire process from inside Thailand without having to leave the country for a new visa. If anyone has done this recently or knows any schools offering good deals or flexibility, please let me know! I’d really appreciate any recommendations or tips 🙏

Hey there, not related, could you please your dm? Thanks

Yeah, no questions about onward tickets — only one question about how long we wanted to stay in Thailand. Step 2 done: we’re now boarded and on the plane. In an hour and a half, we’ll be in BKK! Wish us good luck 🍀

Step 1 done ✅ — quick update as promised: In Phú Quốc, all the self-check-in kiosks were out of order, so everyone had to check in at the counter. At the counter, the staff asked us how long we plan to stay in Thailand — we said 1 month (little goosebumps moment 😅) but it was fine and they handed us our boarding passes. We then went through departure immigration, got our passports stamped out, did the metal detector and regular security checks, and now we’re at the gate waiting for the plane. Next step: Bangkok and a smooth entry 🤞 I’ll keep you all posted once we’re on the plane and when we land in BKK — stay tuned!

Great, all good then 😃

Don't tell me man 😀🤮🤬

That's what I'm trying to understand and if it's needed or would be wise to have. FTV grants only the service once in Bkk suv they don't grant anything outside thailand

Hi, thank you for your questions and for helping us think through everything 🙏 ✅ Yes, we did discuss all our concerns directly with “Friendly Thai Visa” — we had a phone call with Robert, the person who is arranging the safe entry for us. He assured us 100% that once we arrive in Bangkok everything will go smoothly and there will be no issues at Thai immigration. ✅ About our belongings: We still have some personal stuff left in Thailand (clothes, documents, a few valuables). Of course, if for some reason we really can’t get back in, we have a few plan C options: asking friends in Thailand to ship the items to us, or possibly flying to a nearby country and trying to sort it out remotely. But obviously we hope we won’t have to do that. ✅ Regarding our current stay: When we were flown back to Phu Quoc, Vietnamese immigration gave us a normal visa exemption stamp for 45 days. But when we landed, they questioned us for about an hour — they wanted to know why we got rejected in Thailand, asked about our finances, and did some paperwork before stamping our passports normally. 🚩 Our main concern now: We’re wondering if it’s wise to fly out again from the same airport in Phu Quoc to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi — the same one where we were denied and sent back. Or would it be smarter to change our departure airport in Vietnam just in case? Any advice or real experiences on this would be super appreciated! Thanks again to everyone for the support — it means a lot to us 🙏✨

Thank you so much everyone for all your help and detailed replies — it really means a lot to us! 🙏 We still have one more concern about which airport to depart from in Vietnam, so we created a new topic as a follow-up: 👉 Should we fly back to Bangkok from the same Vietnam airport we were sent back to? If you have any advice or experience about that, we’d be so grateful if you could take a look there too. Thanks again to this amazing community for guiding us through this stressful situation! 🙏✨
