Hi friends! Can I transfer my American driver’s license into a Thai one?Thanks!

Im currently in Nakhon Ratchasima after arriving by air into Suvarnabhumi BKK. I’m on a french passport with a 30day visa exemption stamp.

I’m staying at my wife/‘my’ house.

A friend as said I should be registered with the Local immigration office ? As a foreigner staying in a Thai house.

Can’t find any info on this as most is relating to resident visas.

Can anyone clear this up for me ?

How can I get a lot of baht rapidly in Thailand? Apps, Western Union, etc? Seeking suggestions. Thanks 🙏

Hi , how many extension can you get on a tourist visa for 60 days. Or do i have to leave Thailand if i want to stay longer? Example 60+30+30 , is this possible?

There's downtime coming for the TM47 (90 day notification) system!

23 February until 26 February the system will be unavailable.

Remember you can submit online from 14 days before your due date until your due date. Then you have an additional 7 days after your due date that you can file in person without a fine.

*Often system downtimes in Thailand extend well beyond the announced dates.

Hi folks, I'm from the UK and wish to apply for 60 day tourist evisa. Do you know if I can use a flight from Paris to BKK as proof of travel document as I will be in France at time of leaving for Thailand? Many thanks

A reminder that next Monday February 26th is a public holiday and all immigration offices around the country will be closed.

If your entry stamp falls due on the 24th, 25th or 26th then go get your extension before then. If you don’t you’ll be joining the hordes of people going on Tuesday 27th. Many immigration offices will be super busy because of the 3 day closure. You won’t get a fine because the offices were closed but you’ll still get a stamp (in Thai) that says “overstay X days. Fine waived due to closure”.

Land borders and airports are not affected by public holidays.

Plan accordingly.

Hi guys just like to say I got my Extension of Stay stamped in my passport (marriage) and a re-entry permit today. Pattani Immigration Office.

And I asked a few questions that I have been confused about and this Thai Visa Advice may have been a little confused about.

So Questions asked from me to do with EofS (marriage)

1. About Handouts (what you need for application) and process explained for your EofS marriage and related questions.

I asked if the handout shows everything you need to hand in at your application date? He said yes and he went and got one and it was as it’s always been and standard from what I’ve always done and shown.

2. To do with Under Consideration Stamp.

Why and what is the reason for the Under Consideration stamp? He’s reply. On the date you pay and put your application in to immigration office needs time to examine and checked the paperwork is correct at the time of the application with the issues of the paperwork if necessary. This doesn’t happen overnight. This is to check and why you sign everything single piece of paper in your application. You are saying it’s not false and it is true on that date. If we find a mistake or something maybe more serious we will contact you to do with what we think is wrong with the application paperwork and discuss if it can be corrected. Or for a more serious reason of not issuing and rejecting the person EofS (marriage) application

Then I asked about the ฿400,000 seasoning time is ? he said it’s 2 months.

I then asked when coming back to get my EofS inked in what do I have to bring with me? He said what you brought with you today. This was myself and my passport.

Then I asked if the paperwork was all correct. Is there any reason why I should have keep the ฿400,000 seasoned money after the 2 months? He said NO. And pointed to the handout and process.

He asked why I had asked? I said because I hear people giving advice saying you should.

He’s replied with a smile and said you are obviously not get correct advice.

Being married means you could need the money immediately after the 2 months seasoning for a number of personal family reasons or emergency.

If for some reason they wanted to see your bank book again for any reason as long as you can prove it was season for the 2 months the day after that you can do what you like with it. This would have been looked at on the day of application. So as long as that was not false on that day. You are ok to do what you like.

Also pointed to a big poster on the wall photo below

Happy Days hope this advice helps
