thaiexpat21 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 So what about us from other countries in Europe, or from other parts of the world for that matter... If it exists a new deal for only these 7 countries, good for them, but try to take one step back and think about it for a second. Are the citizens of these countries looked at as some kind of elite? Why not just go back to the old rulings from before 2008, where almost everyone were treated equally? I will once again say, amazing Thailand. This is exactly the same as before 2008. Almost everyone is treated equally. In this case I am treated more equally than you but less equal than residents of some other countries. A while ago New Zealand residents used to get 90 day visa exempt on arrival. They were obviously even more equal.... Nothing to do with "Amazing Thailand" and everything to do with with International agreements, which vary ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoneyboy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I just got a 30 day extension on my US passport. I went through Htee Khee in Myanmar just yesterday, on the 4th. My first border run too !!!! This in itself is misleading,the poster states an extension,when in reality we are talking about visa exemption,this whole topic should be pinned IMHO. Lots of conflicting reports with little evidence from the powers that be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best he makes urgent plans to return to Japan i enjoy reading your posts Thaiexpat21 but why do you apply an ''!" (exclamation mark) in every one? very few of your posts demand it, it makes the post appear rude on some occasions and it dilutes the information you are imparting to the dear readers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
