  1. Amazing! I have been doing the online 90 day reports since the system was set up. My last successful report was in September 2020. Since then I've always got the dreaded "Contact your local immigration ......." Today I tried once more: was accepted(!) and an email arrived a few minutes later approving the application!! Long may it continue, he says hopefully.
  2. At Prom walk in you just sign the form and put your phone number, no need to complete the rest of it.
  3. This brings back memories. Some years ago, when Taksin was Prime Minister, the heads of each immigration office were called to Bangkok. They were told the retirement requirements were being raised to 1.2 million baht and in four years were to be raised to 2 million. I was 'warned' about this by the head of our immigration office who I knew well, but who has since retired. The following year, with no increase, I was told that with the ousting of the PM it was not thought appropriate to bring in the increases! Maybe, after all these years they are finally going to do it?
  4. Phone number for Vietjet is +84 1900 1886. + = International; 84 = Vietnam; 1900 1886 = Vietjet's number in Vietnam.
  5. Visa Exempt entry is for people from countries such as the UK, USA, Australia, France, Germany, etc. Visa on Arrival (VOA) is for citizens of countries such as India, Pakistan, etc. The VOA gives 15 days on entry, costs 2,000 baht and was stopped when Covid erupted, may be restarted soon (maybe!!). There is no such thing as 'Visa on Entry'.
  6. UK Parliament 'news' about change in the issuing of passports. Link - House of Commons - Support for British nationals abroad: The Consular Service - Foreign Affairs Committee (parliament.uk)
  7. I use Best Friend Visa, 3,000 baht fee. Used them since we had to start queuing up at 3am in the pouring rain a few years ago. They take care of the photos, copies, forms and you turn up at Immigration for 5 minutes to have your mug shot added to their data base.
