...and why not?

Hi, i'm a Brit and will be applying for a Tourist Visa at the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur next month. The application form and requirements look pretty straight forward all except the requirement... Proof of payment for accommodation for the whole period of stay in Thailand (the receipt must state the tax payer number of the relevant hotel/accomodation (as stated on the embassy website) This doesn't leave much room for flexibility Is a booking okay? Not sure that will provide the tax payer number though. Is there a work around for this? Thanks in advance

They won't need proof of onward ticket as they have a visa. Just show the visa at the airline checkin counter if asked. Immigration won't ask either

Thanks again

Yeah, my bad. I remember last time i then extended for 30 days, which gave me 90 days total

Since last August i've entered Thailand on an entry stamp 4 times, I've been to immigration twice to to extend my stay

Very useful post. Thanks. A tourist visa can be for 3 months, Do they expect me to prove i've paid for hotels for a full three months in advance when i apply?

I will do that if it helps. I’ll be returning into Don Mueang, Does it make a difference immigration wise between DMK or BKK? cheers

Yes, makes more sense to me to go for a tourist visa in KL and cheaper too than keep flying in and out of Thailand for a visa exempt stay. Was just concerned the embassy might refuse a tourist visa application with my ‘history’ thanks for the reply

Hi, i'm a Brit and i've had many trips to Thailand over many years. Always trouble free My issue is, i've been in and out of Thailand since last August on visa exempt and I've now used up all my extensions (2 per calendar year) I'm flying out to KL next month and will be away a month. I will apply for a Thai tourist visa while i'm there. Due to the fact i've been in and out on visa exempt for the past 9 months do you think i'll have trouble getting a 3 month tourist visa? Thanks for any advice

Thanks for the reply. I just didn't want to waste time and money going to immigration and the chance i'm refused Your point of having proof of an outward ticket when i go for the extension is a good one. I will have to leave Thailand then anyway so will buy one and take it with me Cheers

Cheers

Okay understood...now can anyone please answer the question? Thanks

...okay fine

Thanks

Hi, i'm a Brit here in Thailand on a 30 day permission to stay I first arrived in Thailand last August on a 30 day permission to stay. I have been going out for a month to neighbouring countries and then re-entering on 30 day permission to stay ever since. This year in January i went to immigration and got a 30 day extension. When that expired I went to Cambodia for a month and entered again two days ago. At the border they queried why i was in Thailand so long and what i was doing. Fair enough and they stamped me in again for another 30 days My question is by the rules i'm allowed 2 x 30 day extensions in a calendar year. I have only used one so far this year but due to the fact i have been coming and going to much over the past 8 months and they began to question this what are my chances of getting another extension at immigration when i apply for it? Any help appreciated Bill

As the title says, i'm looking for a replacement toothbrush head. Anyone know where i can find this in central Bangkok? Thanks in advance Bill

Firstly, i would advise her not to close the account. You never know when you might need it again, they cost nothing to maintain and bank accounts are not easy to open in the first place Contact the bank informing them you have now returned to the UK and give an address of a trusted friend or family member?

Cheers, i thought so. That means mine is valid for 3 months Some great help here, i appreciate it! ????

I have a True SIM pay-as-you-go deal. I checked the expiry date and it's 12/04/2566. I've worked out 2566 is 2023 but i'm assuming 12/04 is 12th of April?

Thanks for this. I'm not much of a techy, how do you do it 'from your mobile account'? and which company do you use? Cheers

Thanks for the great answers guys!

Hi, i'm looking to open a foreign currency account with Bangkok Bank but if i want to use my online account and i'm outside the country i need to authenticate my login details via local SIM card. My question is, will a local SIM work for this outside the country? How long is a SIM card valid outside the country? I don't think there's anyway to top it up? Thanks

Found in the toilet of a restaurant in Bangkok Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I visited the doctor in the UK a short while back for a check up and was put on the meds but unfortunately they've now run out
