Any Bus experts here. So far I’ve got the bus twice from BKK Ekkamai to Koh Samet (Ban Phe). Google maps show a route that takes 2.5hrs. Both times the buses stray miles off that route and take 3.5 hrs. Does anyone know a bus service (not a taxi) that goes directly please .

Good morning everyone! Apologies, I have asked a similar question before. I'm in KPG writing this 10 days into my Visa Free entry stamp. My intention is to extend this. Someone in this room did mention to wait until a week before the expiry of my Current Visa-free permit if I was to apply at immigration on this Island. I would like to firm up ongoing plans, flights, bookings etc so ideally would like to head on in and apply now. This leads me to this question? Will they send me away? Is it random depending on how busy the Officers might be? Really only after personal anecdotes and I understand there's no real hard and fast rule. Lastly, I have prepared my TM.7 form and passport photos. Should I get a document of residence from the place I'm staying as well? Thanks and look forward to hearing of any experiences. Rog.

Dear lovely people, I’ve come for some advice on visa and work permit cancellation.

I’ve just recently resigned from a BOI company and are now serving notice period.

Here where it gets tricky. I will be starting a new job with a non BOI company and therefore can I ask, what would be the maximum extension of stay that my BOI company can apply upon the date of visa and work permit cancellation? Thank you 🙏

Guys what are my options?

I thought I could apply for 90 day reporting online 14 days before the expiration date and 7 days after the date.

Clearly I was wrong.

What's my options please. Currently residing in BKK.

Thanks in advance.

Michael here from Australia. My wife and I have been coming to Chiang Mai for a month every year for past 8 years. Now retired we would like to come to Chiang Mai for 3 month every year, what is the best way to do this. Thank you

Hi guys, quick question that I'd bet some of you know 😊. On visa exempt (30 days on arrival) and plan to extend 30 more days at immigration for 1900 (familiar with the process, done it many times here and there over the years). What I can't remember, and what my question is: Will I get 30 more days from the day I go into immigration, or 30 days from the last day on my stamp? I ask because of the upcoming holiday- I'll have to go in early because mine expires over the closed dates.... I'm just curious if I should wait till the last minute or if I could go in early next week before it gets really busy, and whether that will affect my 30 days or not 😅

Thanks for your time.

Hello Everybody, i am arriving BKK 4 days before my retirement visa expiry, leaving me just 1 day's time (considering the weekend) to apply for the extension. I had a medical urgency causing 1 month's delay and creating this tight timing. Would the Bangkok Immigration authorities be ok with this timing?

Just a question. I applied for and received my Non-Imm O at CW while living in Bangkok.

I intend moving to Hua Hin. When the time comes t o renew my visa later in the year, will I be able to do it there, or must I do it at CW? Thanks.

When adding extra 30 days to a tourist visa do you need to provide proof of accommodation for the full 30 days ,

Also we will be staying in Phuket can we extend our visas in Krabi as we will be in Krabi for a week? Does the proof of accommodation have to be from the date we go to extend or from the date our tourist visa runs out

Good morning. I have a case that I am not sure how to answer: Say someone from the EU had a Thai Tourist TR 60 day (single entry) e-Visa issued by the Thai consulate in their home country. Can this someone simply not present this visa on arrival at the Thai airport, get stamped in for 30 days on visa exemption, and then make use of the existing, unused TR 60 day visa later at a land border crossing? Or would the computer system show the immigration officer the isssued TR visa, and would said officer then use it, even though the paper printout would not be presented at that time? Thank you, experts.
