gzu88bv Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I just learned in a newsletter from Swiss Embassy in Bangkok that very likely this September new visa changes will be announced respectively become effective and all embassies are going to be informed accordingly. What’s up I ask myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KiChakayan Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 Well the only thing I can see coming is the health insurance, possibly a e readjustment of financial requirements since the current 800k/400k are probably due for cost of living adjustment. They may also factor in an extra deposit for the people unable to secure health coverage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 They have been discussing changes to the Immigration Act for some time, so it could be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetops Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Your thread title says law changes but your post only says visa changes. Can you clarify what was actually reported? Visa changes could be the potential roll out of evisa system currently in use in China, UK and France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 I got a message from a member with a translation of the newsletter notice. Any comment about specifics of what it means would be nothing but speculation at this time. It could be the proposed changes to the immigration act of 1979 that was mentioned months ago that has to be approved by parliament and was delayed due to the elections. Or possibley a new police order for extension of stay that would only affect certain clauses like previous ones did. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel52 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Obviously they’ll have to eventually update the current immigration act to reflect last year’s new police orders when all the new immigration procedures were made that’s probably what it is I had forgotten about that until Joe mentioned it. I actually do remember that now from way before the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should you attempt to stay longer, you'll get arrested and deported, while all your possessions, but esp. cash, credit cards, and bank accounts in Thailand, will be confiscated for the benefit of the Thailand Generals Mia Noi Welfare Fund... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbezoz Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Possibly it will just be a general apology caused by the actions of Big Joke when he was running immigration ???????? Or else reversing the insistence that Embassies verify anything and revert to the old method of each embassy just endorsing, in many cases total codswallop, income statements.????????

fforest1 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Guys I think they will be lowering the 800,000 to maybe 200,000 needed for a retirement visa.....They will be allowing unlimited visa exempts and unlimited tourist visas back to back.No more 90 day or TM 30 also....

Sure we could add 8 to 20. I'm hoping that for extensions based on marriage might include more than husband & wife sitting on edge of bed. Bit mundane. Spice it up.
