I own and live in a flat in Phuket and have a 5-year DTV visa, but I'm spending this month in Indonesia. I have just arrived in Yogyakarta and straightaway realized that my passport will expire in less than 6 months (5 months and a week) by the time I set to return, which is not a problem for leaving Indonesia, but might present a problem for reentry in the Kingdom, and most countries, really.
I sent an email to my Embassy, which I have to visit anyway to pick up my renewed ID card - a requirement to renew my passport -, and asked for a letter explaining that I'm going to Bangkok on a specific date for the very purpose of renewing my passport.
Is this the right procedure? Has anyone been in a similar situation with a passport under 6 months when they arrived in another country and cannot book a ticket to come back? Thank you.
My daughter lives in Thailand on a 5-year DTV Visa. Last month she flew to Italy and was robbed 3 days ago of her passport which contains her re-entry stamp. She does have the DTV letter from the Thai government. My urgent question is this: without the reentry permit stamp which was in her stolen passport will she be allowed to reenter Tylan through Bangkok as planned without being giving a hassle because she does have the police report or does she need to wait in Rome and meet the Thai Embassy to get a new reentry stamp copied into her passport?
I woud like to ask if anyone has flown from BKK to Cambodia for a visa run/visit with AirAsia, and faced any issues for not having an eVisa. Asking because I've read on another group of a situation where a person has been denied boarding for not having the Cambodian eVisa, although it is well known you can get a VOA once arrived. Thanks!
And since I am complaining about travel nonsense... I paid 24usd to have a CHECK bag. Weight limit 15kg apparently. I am 5 kilo over... The fee is 1700 baht. Vietjet is like a Bangkok taxi driver who refuses to use the meter.
Edit: check bag and 15kg limit. I don't know how I made BOTH of those errors. I am going to blame vietjet.
Hi all, I'm trying to get an e-visa (Non-Imm O/retirement) for Thailand. I have Brazilian and US passports and am applying with my Brazilian.
The problem is that I'm currently visiting family in Canada and will fly from Vancouver to Bangkok. My understanding from reading old posts here is that one must apply for an e-visa from the country from which you'll be flying to Thailand, which is why I chose Canada instead of the US.
I don't have a Canadian visa because I entered on my American passport. The application wanted proof that I'm in Canada, for which I uploaded my air ticket from Vancouver to Thailand. I also uploaded my Thai bank statement, which shows the required 800k baht.
Unfortunately, the Thai embassy replied with:
* Other request documents: Please upload a Canada PR card, visa or permit
* Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB or having the current balance of 800,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings: Please upload a bank statement with your name showing a monthly income of no less than 2,600 CAD or a current balance of 32,000 CAD
They seem to think I live in Canada and are not allowing for me to just be passing through. They also ignored my Thai bank account.
My questions: can I get an e-visa from a country I'm not resident in? If not, can I reapply from the USA and still fly to Thailand from Canada? And what's the problem with showing the 800k in my Thai bank account?
