TDAC Warning!

I am not sure if this has been shared before but I was so surprised that it's right there in plain sight! -- A TDAC scam!

My daughter flew in last night and I forgot to tell her about the required TDAC requirement. So in a hurry, I googled TDAC and found a legit looking form and sent it to her.

She filled it up but it came to a Payment page which seemed required to be paid by the traveller. Told her that I knew that it was free, definitely no fees.

So I thought it was a glitch that she made -- so I did it for her and true enough -- there was a required $59.99 fee (in USD) and $20 for fastest 4 hour processing!

Hmm.... call the government contact center as I wondered if I missed the memo ...or some announcement.

Anyway, they gave me the correct website [members only] -- which was somewhere at the bottom of my search. Seems like the scammers are better at optimizing SEO than Thai government.

Just so shocked that the digital police can't keep this vital immigration site clear of scammers!

SHARE with your visiting family and friends!!

We are getting a few cases of people forging our documents. The embassy call us and ask for confirmation that the client is genuine, that's how we catch them out.

A few days ago, a funny thing happened in Savannaketh. I applied for DTV Soft Power, and the guy there said that "This Gym does not have the right to teach Muay Thai, I can't give you a visa!", I replied "But there are many people got this visa for the same gym, I know them in person." He said "I don't care! Then he also shouted at other people on the line for small details as well. It was a rough day.

⚠️ For Any one who bought an on line visa from Lao, check your bank accounts⚠️

I have 3 unauthorised payments to Uber.

Card never leaves the office and this is the only transaction.

Hi lads,

Do you know how is the Muay Thai visa working ? I contacted a guy and he told me you just have to pay then you don’t have to follow Muay Thai class.

I Find it pretty weird, how is it that expensive if you don’t even have Muay Thai classes ?

Been offered a good visa deal but would like some advice (wary of fake stamps)

For context:

They mentioned they don't have a website but their name is NP thai visa services or western university

They are based in Buriram and are doing around 50K-70KTHB for a 1 year stamp

So im curious, IF it is a fake stamp, what are the consequences?

Recently I did an ED visa and was promised online classes, then weeks later it was changed to 2-4 in person classes/week, but I cannot do that as I’m busy with my online business

Would love to hear your advice, thank you.
