  1. ETA didn't start yet. It is not the same thing as e-Visa. Anyway, the reason you get the results you are seeing is that the nearby countries are not participating (yet) in the e-Visa system.
  2. The 30 days you mention is probably the days after the application when the approval is under consideration/pending. You can remain in Thailand during that time even though your current 90 day permission has ended. On the day you apply you will be given a date to return to collect the final approved extension
  3. Is there actually any reason why he cant get the annual extension in the last 15 days of his current entry (assuming he's got his 400k together by that time)?
  4. There have been several threads on getting this from Savannakhet and Vientiane. Same financial requirement, 400k for 2 months. Here's one;
  5. On your printed statement, not the bank book, what do your Wise transfers show as? Mine show as "Trade Finance Deposit" on an English statement but show as "ธุรกรรมต่างประเทศ" on a Thai version = "Foreign Transaction". And it makes no difference what reason I use for the transfer, they all show the same.
  6. Since last week? What happened?
  7. You can report; Crash Congestion Roadworks Lane Closure Stalled Vehicle Object on road Mobile Speed Camera Just click on the + symbol whilst navigating to participate.
  8. The locations are reported by other users, you can do it too if you so wish. It's been a feature since earlier this year.
  9. Stayed there in June. Beach was busy very early morning and in the evenings. But in the daytime was like the photo, it was 38+ which explains the lack of bodies. I actually don't like beaches but I do like beach bars, of which there are several and a good time was had.
  10. Yes there is. Use the automated customer service function on the help page, it starts off as an AI conversation but will eventually connect you a human and in my experience they do resolve issues. I had 2 payment issues this year and both were fixed this way.
  11. If you are talking about their "cashback" discounts you have to claim the refund after 60 days, it is not automatic, you can easily check what is due and when on the app/website. But if you claim it it is paid to you in a day or two, the system works just fine, I just had US$200 cashback last week.
  12. Almost 29 hours for a what should be a 9 hour journey. That's a fun day for sure. You get what you pay for.
  13. No. Retirement "O" does not need those things. That is for an "O-A". As already stated the main difference between retirement and family is financial. Marriage extensions have a lot of odd things asked for, photo's, witnesses, home visits, etc. If you don't mind locking 800k in the bank retirement is the best option.
  14. Of course, you're giving them money. But they will ask at check-in (and they are keeping your money).
  15. You've not bought water airside lately I take it.
  16. Don't think so, about 6k should get one easily enough.
  17. I just asked the bot, it replied; You have a National Insurance (NI) number so we can record your contributions in your name. It’s made up of letters and numbers and never changes. What can we help you with? Find my National Insurance number Apply for a National Insurance number I'm 16 and haven't got my NI number I've got a problem with having 2 NI numbers Someone is using my NI number
  18. Phone Thai Airways. In a minute they will tell you a) IF your ticket can be upgraded and b) if you can do it directly with them or need to go through an agent.
  19. "Friendly"?
  20. https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/content/80308-non-immigrant-visa-“o” You're welcome.
  21. I didn't say that was one of the criteria. But nevertheless that is what immigration, MFA and everyone else, besides you, calls it, and is what is stamped in my passport.
  22. My personal experience this year has been when checking in in Vietnam and Laos the staff are looking in my passport fir a visa, both times they come across my re-entry permit and that's it. Nothing asked or stated. They won't find any visa in my passport as it was an e-visa. I also have a retirement extension. It is not an extension based upon being over 50. That is simply one of the requirements, along with the financial requirement.
  23. Well done! I imagine your experience is normal. On here there are many people that are incapable of anything.
