I've been out of the kingdom for most of this year, but will be returning next month. Having used visa agents in Chiang Mai several times over the past three or four years to extend my tourist visa, should I get a new passport before I come back? Have there been problems with stamps from the north? Will the fact that I'm coming back into the country pregnant and on a Non Imm help my chances of getting through without having to get a new passport?
Also, on a somewhat related note, does anyone know if the financial requirements for a farang woman married to a Thai man are now the same as they are for a farang man married to a Thai woman? Before these wretched changes it was a piece of cake for a farang woman to get permission to stay in the country if she was married to a Thai man.
