"We are all asking "how" the immigration officials at the border can add up the 90 days (instead of the number of stamps)."

"I think no one is denying that they can do it, it just seems absurd that they actually will. It's in no one's best interest to fully implement the new regulations."

Only time will tell.

Have an idea... whoever is the first one who is "caught" for having 90 days and thereby given a mere "last 7 days" to leave..

Listen now David, we're sorry you can't get a visa to a first world country, but is it really worth all the trouble of starting all these threads just to make other fellers feel bad? Give it some thought.

How many more threads are you going to start tonight where you just nag on about the same thing?

Just wait afew more days and all your questions and theroies will be answered on this 90 day rule.

or merge with any other threads OP has opened.

The visa uncertainty is certainly starting to dig in, at least in my neck of the woods in Pattaya.

The apartment block where I'm living was full last year, but this year it's almost empty. This is not cheap accommodation (30k and up per month), but there are no takers for 6 month leases now.

The upside to that is that those who are able to sort out their visas and stay will have much more bargaining power now against current landlords, and also access to so many nicer apartments at lower prices! Law of SUPPLY AND DEMAND!
