ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello members and new members.

This page is for Thai Visa advice.

If you start your question with:

This is not Thai Visa related, don't bother to even post it.

I will delete it.

Travel advice to get to Thai Consulate, sight seeing tours during the day waiting for your passport to return, hotels, breakfasts etc etc are not Thai Visa related.

Taking domestic flights or International flights are not Thai Visa related.

If you have a question PLEASE add your locations, using Immigration Office differs in every region. Without knowing where you are, we can not give the advice to you.

The amount of members is growing, so we need to keep a line to be able to answer real visa questions.

If you like to chat or get travel advice there are many Facebook pages and other programs available.

Please keep this page to the purpose of Visa Advice,

Thanks to all for your contributions.

TLDR : Answer Summary

This post emphasizes that the primary focus of the Thai Visa advice page is to provide information related specifically to Thai visa issues. It states that non-visa related topics such as travel to consulates, hotel recommendations, and domestic or international flights will be deleted. Members are encouraged to specify their locations when asking visa-related questions, as immigration policies can vary by region. The discussion also includes comments that highlight common misunderstandings among expats and travelers regarding visa advice, as well as the importance of adhering to legal procedures when dealing with immigration matters in Thailand.

To clarify, are TM30 or resident certificate questions allowed as they're not visa related? Thanks!

Considering the number of other subjects that often get asked about - perhaps some enterprising person could create a group "GETTING ALONG IN THAILAND"... transportation - how to travel locally or across country or to neighbor countries, how to get married, how to get a driver license, etc., etc., etc.

There is already an all encompassing site does this.

And daily Thai news, where they buried the bodies, where the BIB are scamming you with cash fines.

Plus you get free serves of vitriolic attacks from certain members.

And reminded that it's not a site for tea and sympathy.

Similar name too.

But this is the place for informative thai visa information..

sadly many foreigners forget to use common sense when living here and believe "anything goes" since they got away with it.

and I have been back-and-forth with a couple of know-it-all, beat-the-system types, concerning WPs and what is, and is NOT Thai law.

If you subscribe to the school of thought that says "If I have gotten away with it (whatever "it" is) thus far, regardless of legality, then my experience should be the basis for offering advice", look out. Thai visa advice offers people advice rooted in fact, and working within the framework of Thai law, based on the experience and knowledge of guys who have lived here for years. Thanks!

Tony Osborne Correct, but some guys are thinking it is snap until neighbors and relatives - even the landlord is interviewed... When a sham is suspected the I/Os keep asking for more and more info, documents and interviews.

Plus the Hammer - the lady holds a blackmail knife over his head.

There are already several Thai Expat groups covering those topics, but some members don't understand the difference between Thai Visa Advice and Thai Expat Advice.
