bangkokburning Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Bali I am almost certain is free, my gf is sleeping so cannot confirm. I can see entry at other points not recognized for ASEAN free visa (30). Its a very corrupt country. I would think Jakarta would be gratis, after that - all bets off. Indo has become really slimy. Incidently, Bali is well and truly finished, I will never, ever go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasas Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 This list seems to have flaws.

homelyboy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Well i think the person who put this list up did a great jobYeah, sure, though I fail to understand why. There's a well-mantained list in Wikipedia, there is Timatic after all (though of course Timatic is only for air travellers).and here you come on and start slagging itIt's true that here I come, and it's a lie that I start slagging. I pointed out a couple of actual errors. I am not trying to belittle the effort done, but the list does have flaws as a matter of fact, and what does that mean? That means it must be taken critically, and that's it.Anyone know if bali is visa free for thai? I read that some parts of indonesia are not visa free.Yes, we've done it several times with my Thai b/f. I had to obtain VoA (there was quite a queue!) and he passed through immigration very quickly. I am not quite sure if my memory serves me correctly but AFAIR there was a minor hassle with migration forms. Aboard plane everyone was given the same sort of migration forms, but upon arrival it turned out that they were different for VoA and visa-free nationals.

popshirt Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Last summer my partner and I flew from the U.S. to Mexico and he was not asked for a visa. He had an educational visa to study in the U.S. and this was between terms at his university. But the Mexicans didn't ask to see it, just stamped his Thai passport.

shawndoc Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Interesting. My girlfriend and I traveled to Oaxaca from the US and they were very careful to check her Mexican visa. If you walk across the border into Tijuana there's no immigration check at all. Just stroll through a one-way revolving gate and you're in Mexico. There's several small buildings there, I'm sure you're supposed to stop at one of them, but there were no obvious signs, ques, gates, or official looking people standing outside any of them. I was on the streets of TJ before I knew it, and didn't feel like going back to see if there was some place I was supposed to check in first.

NewlyMintedThai Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone have personal experience of a Thai traveling to Myanmar ? Yes, visa required like everyone else (unless you are talking about a border day pass). Any travel agent can arrange it for you with no need to go to the Myanmar Embassy yourself.

NewlyMintedThai Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 So what are the visa requirements for an American and Thai gf to get into Japan? No requirement at all for an American.

Tomtomtom69 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Border passes can only be used for a day or sometimes 3 days but not further than the border province. So a passport is required for a Thai to travel (legally) to Phnom Penh even though there are no internal checkpoints. I have travelled by taxi between Poipet and Phnom Penh/Bavet (for Vietnam) many times and it would theoretically be possible to bypass the need for a passport but I am not sure if Thais can even use border passes there (Poipet) but may require passports anyway (to go past the casino zone). In any case, passports are always better since there are no restrictions on travel and in the case of Laos and Cambodia where no visas are required for short stays, border passes cost money and time to make and are only valid for a short time and restricted area. I went with 3 Thai friends to Vientiane 2 years ago and one of them had a passport that was nearly expired so was refused exit from Thailand and forced to get a border pass for 120Baht that took an hour to process. A photograph was also required and this delayed our short trip significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtomtom69 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 BTW some countries that require visas from Thais generally don't present much more of a problem than countries that don't demand visas. For example, I have never heard of the Chinese embassy refusing to issue a visa to a Thai. Similarly, the Myanmar Embassy would issue a visa to all Thais except the small number of people that are known to be anti-Myanmar government or have some sort of other politically sensitive agenda. In other words, Thais can go everywhere without a problem except Japan, Australia/NZ (up until 1996 they could still travel to NZ visa free but not anymore), USA/Canada and western Europe (Schengen zone and UK/Ireland), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
