I'm from England, been in and out of Thailand for last ten years, ended up with a few 20k fines for overstay and most recently one year ban for long overstay. My question. I intend to come back at the end of my ban August this year; I'm aware everything is computerised now so they will know I've had a ban and had a few overstays that I paid 20k for over the last decade. Would you guys advice getting a new passport pre entry in England to avoid any potential questions when they flick through and perhaps see the overstays etc, or as everything is digital would you not worry about it? Thanks and current UK passport expires 2029.

Hi folks, I've just returned from Thailand and the immigration officer wrote what looks like no p 18 under my departure stamp. Has anyone any idea what this means. The officer said nothing to me just handed passport back, tia

My friend from USA traveled to Thailand (dual citizenship). Her Thai passport had expired so she used her USA passport to enter and was given a 30 day visa exempt. She later went to immigration and asked for a 30 day extension and they literally stamped her in for 1year without any steps to show any banking requirements.

They told her that since she’s a Thai citizen w a Thai ID card she’s immediately eligible for 1year resident extension on the 30 day “Visa Exempt” stamp in her USA passport.

Was this a mistake by immigration or do they automatically give out 1yr extensions to a Visa Exempt stamp for Thai ID card holders w out having to meet any financial requirements similar to other visas???

I was in the impression that dual citizens are governed solely by which passport they use upon entry. But it seems they make exceptions to dual citizens?

Pls advise.

I need to know the exact forms I need to apply for the non-o retirement visa please.

I tried going to the Jomtien immigration office yesterday, but it was total mayhem there. Long cues everywhere and I could not figure out which line to get in to get the blank forms. I asked for a bit of help from a couple English speakers and they were no help.

My two bad knees will not allow me to stand forever in multiple cues. Getting the two knees replaced in BKK this month.

Anyway, I am now trying to download and print out the forms. Am I guessing right in that the first form would be the TM88?

What other forms would I need please?

I am pretty well up on the mechanics and procedures of the actual process.........but I do need to know which particular forms to get filled out.

THANKS!
