Politics Thai Poll Reveals Over 80% Want Suspended PM to Step Down
When lawyers make laws they make them for lawyers not for the public. A good example are the deportation laws a feeding frenzy for lawyers. The wickeder the person they are trying to deport is the more money the lawyers make. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
i don't know anything about getting first LTR visa stamp (for one who applied outside of Thailand). I live in Phuket and applied for my LTR visa while in Phuket (i was on a type-O visa at the time). After having LTR approved, I went to Bangkok to BoI and the immigration there and had my passport stamped with the Visa. Then I returned to Phuket. Subsequent to then I exited and entered Thailand a number of times using the LTR visa. The first time i exited and entered Thailand (via Phuket) with my LTR visa, there was NO fast track line. None. But i was with my Thai wife, so we went over to the Thai line which had no one in line! (in contrast the non-Thai lines at immigration had at least a 45 minute wait, if not longer). The IO had never seen an LTR visa before, so they called over another Thai IO, who knew how to deal with an LTR stamp that was ALREADY in the visa (according to my Thai wife who was listening to the chat). But it didn't end there. That IO called over some more IOs (from their booths) so they could see what an LTR visa stamp looked like. They all had a good look at my passport. That was back in year 2023. Subsequently I have exited and entered a couple of times. There being no fast track on most occasions, I simply went to the practically empty Thai citizen line and I was accepted. On one of those occasions the IO in the Thai line had to call over another IO to confirm how to handle the permission to stay in the passport. I believe the last time I entered (although maybe I am confused with Bangkok) there was a sign indicating fast track (with LTR indicated on the sign) was same line as the Thai line. But I am not certain. My memory is fuzzy. Maybe it was Bangkok and not Phuket. Another important aspect I encountered, was when leaving Phuket, with an LTR, go to the area where Thai people enter the immigration area. One can save up to 45-minutes or more, as opposed to getting in the immigration line (with non-Thai) for exiting Phuket. I didn't know that, but when I checked in my luggage, the Singapore airline rep, seeing the LTR visa in my passport, told me to go to the Thai line for faster processing. ... Again , thou, as noted, i know nothing about the first LTR stamp. Have you asked BoI if entering Phuket (instead of Bangkok) ok for the 1st time? -
