well after all the restless, sleepless nights stressed out about getting a bank account, I arrived in Thailand on the 2 ND December, immigration the next day very helpful people,explained it all for my extension of stay, the 4th of December got up early with a bit of nerves as it was bank account day, this could not have been easier, 2 bank accounts in about an hour, very easy, the hardest thing was getting my profile photo, and trying to sign my name the same twice, lol, anybody starting to go through the same just don't worry, have the right paperwork and visa and it's a doddle,

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to go to Thailand for 96 days FROM January- do I need a visa?

Thank you!

it is funny because the first time, i apply for a visa, i asked my Embassy in Canada wich visa to apply! they said a E-visa for the three months, i did that to not having the stuggle to go to immigration! I tought by going on certified channel like the Thai Embassy, i would have the good answer! I knew about the 2 moths and 1 month extexion, but i did not want to make a trip to the immigration! Anyway, a lot of you spoke to me like i was a fool or don't know anything about Thailand! That was my first post and my first entry with a visa! The last then years i came here for two months or lest! I also had remarks about my writing, and yes i speak French and try my best to have a comprehension way to post! Some people are very blessing and i don't know why, you have more experience then i do!!!

Hi everyone!

My flight arrives at 11:30 PM. Does anyone know if there will be long lines at immigration? I've seen pictures of huge queues and I'm not sure if it's worth buying the fast track pass.

Thanks!

Just done on line 90 day report, and received confirmation of acceptance before I'd signed out. Took less than a minute! Someone obviously ate 3 shredded wheat for breakfast. 😁

Hi, so I have been on an education visa for the last 10 months in Thailand. I went to Melasia for a week or so and now I want to come back to Thailand as a tourist. I have a tourist E-Visa already approved however I heard they can still turn you down at the airport especially recently with the crackdowns. Because I have been living in Thailand the last 10 months and only been out for a week and a half will they turn down my tourist visa? I basically want to know if it's worth paying extra money for an agency to take me through immigration (I know they work as my friend has used them alot to bypass things, but they are expensive). Do I pay the extra money to increase my chances or is my online e-visa enough?

Because I left Thailand without a re-entry permit, my education visa is automatically void even though it was meant to last until 20th December.

Hi, I am planning to change schools. I currently hold a Non-B visa, and I understand that I will need to do a border run to obtain a new one. The agency informed me that I cannot apply for a new visa within Thailand even I do border run and must do it in Laos, where the process would take 3–4 weeks.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is this information accurate?

Certificate of Residence

I’m on business owner / freelancer DTV

I want to get the certificate in order to register bike on my name.

Today I went to an immigration office in Koh Phangan with:

- TM30

- Passport copy

- DTV copy

- 4x6 photos

But I’ve got an answer that I need to provide my bank statements and proof of funds again. Even though DTV started couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps I should try Koh samui? I’ve seen posts in this group saying they got it with what I’ve already brought.

These guys at KP has always been angry about everything. Extremely unpleasant to go there.

Photo requirements

Hi, I just downloaded a professional headshot jpeg after being scanned, and the website gave me a warning saying it might not be accepted as the eye level (?) is not right— or something like this, it was a 5 seconds warning which disappeared later so I couldn’t even read again. Photo is actually exactly fitting the shoulder level and head size etc, did anyone come across with this warning before?

Hello,

I hold a METV and i Applied for DTV in Jakarta and the embassy asked me to contact the issuing embassy to cancel the METV. I already contacted the issuing embassy and they say they can’t cancel the visa. I’ve seen some people managed to cancel their METV. Could you please share how you managed that? Could you please share what proof of voided visa looks like so i can share with the issuing embassy?
