Do they exchange £50 notes easily in Thailand

Hello, I'm a flang married to a Thai lady and we want to buy a house, can it be in joint names? (I'm on a retirement visa)

Thanks very much

I am looking to re-enter Thailand for the 4th time this year. I've been pulled to side on my 3rd re-entry for not having an onward ticket ready to show at the immigration gate but was able to show it when I was pulled aside to speak with an IO. I had to fill out a form of where I was staying and a bit more info but was eventually let in. The IO stated that I should get a proper visa before my next entry or I might get denied.

Has anyone been able to re-enter more than 3 times to Thailand. I am looking to re-enter to also buy a plane ticket back to the US because it would be the cheapest and easiest route (BKK => US Airport). If I re-enter I would have an onward ticket, accommodation and funds.

Thanks for any help! I know no one here is an IO and its completely up to the IO but wanted to ask.

Edit: A bit more info, I entered 3 times in the beginning of the year with maybe 1-2 weeks or 1 month in-between each trip to Thailand (total of 98 days in Thailand this year). Now I've been away for 4 months going to Japan, Vietnam and the US.

I wonder, is it possible to just email the necessary documents to a Thai embassy first and asked them to review your docs before booking your flight tickets and hotel ? Has anyone ever tried that?😆

Has anyone applied and received a DTV visa from India? I want to get some advice

I'm currently having a huge argument with a moderator of an English-speaking group

He is absolutely convinced that he believes what Tod Daniels wrote a week ago about the 60-day visa-exempt entry.

I, on the other hand, and the admin of another English-speaking visa advice group, are of the opinion that you shouldn't believe everything and should wait and see whether more reports of this kind come in.

It's true - there have been no other such statements so far.

Tod Daniels (a great guy, the visa guru of the advice groups!)

came to the conclusion a week ago that since July 15th you can make UNLIMITED 60-day visa-exempt entries via a land border. The limit of crossing a land border twice per calendar year has been dropped, he wrote

unfortunately, he is basing his argument on ONE single report, as well as the passport and the story of a Filipino who was stamped in at Nong Khai

this Filipino had already overstayed three times (!!) and had already made THREE 30-day visa-free entries since the beginning of the year!

and then the guy claims that after a 60-day visa-exempt stay permit was stamped into his passport, he asked the official how many times he could re-enter from there on

and the official answered him: "unlimited!"

I don't believe a word of this story

because - who is so stupid as to point out to the official at the border with such a stupid question that he might have made a mistake?

He would have expect that the border official will take a closer look at his passport and possibly revoke the stamp!

Do you understand?

that's why I don't believe this story

and Tod Daniels may have fallen for this story

And what else can you say about the little phrase "unlimited visa-free travel"?

The phrase "unlimited visa-free travel by air" has already suggested something that didn't actually exist

In the past, at a certain point, let’s say, the third consecutive attempt at visa-free travel, you would be taken aside at all airports (and at land borders!) and questioned about your true intentions.

And you would be warned that this would be the last time you would be allowed to enter without a suitable visa for a specific purpose.

So, please, why would it have been changed to "unlimited visa-free travel for 60 days for the rest of your Life" as of July 15th?

Based on just ONE report from a Filipino traveler about his experiences at a land border to Laos?

Why should one now start to believe that the phrase "unlimited" actually means unlimited entries by air and land?

Each entry is still granted at the discretion of the immigration officer at the border.

If an immigration officer decides that you have used visa-free entry often enough in a row and have "abused" it for a long-term stay, you can flush the next "unlimited" entry down the toilet

Hello everyone I applied for tourist visa from Nigeria through an agent.

Suppose to be in Thailand by August any advice will be appreciated

Hi guys!

Looking for some visa advice, I’ve recently resigned and will be leaving Thailand. My Non-B expires in November but my work permit expires in 2 days (10th). I’m planning to leave Thailand on the morning of the 11th and won’t be returning for a while.

Do I need to go cancel my work visa even though my work permit is expiring soon? If my work permit is expiring in 2 days would that cancel my visa as well? I’m a bit lost, any advice is greatly appreciated!🥹
