Just a heads up to people who signed up for those "year long ED visa/extensions" where you don't go to school. <- Those are the ED visas from visa mill schools and agents that get you the visa/extension for a fee..

The gov't made a change in the way private schools report attendance and many MANY people found out that because they didn't attend class (or even log in for the online learning from the school) their extension was cancelled by immigrations.

More than a few people found out about this AFTER they went to either apply for another year of an ED visa via an agent/agency, when they went to get documentation to cancel their extension from their school or when they went to exit the country.

It sure caught a lot of people off guard leaving the country when passport control at the airport told them that their extension had been cancelled MONTHS ago, they owed 20K baht in overstay fines AND (if their cancellation was done more than 90 days before they were also banned from thailand for a year :O )

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If you're on one of those year long ED visas thru a private school (or a private school running under a uni name) CHECK with your school that things are okay.

Last thing you want/need is to find out your ED visa/extension was cancelled without you knowing it and you're on overstay facing a possible ban of re-entering thailand

Hi all after some advice. UK citizens who spend approx 6mths past 3 years in Thailand - although visited most years previously for shorter periods. We usually come in visa exempt and extend / border bounce / occasionally visit another country. Both got hassled separately at BKK customs last time and told too many visas - so wondering if it will be the same if we apply for the METV in UK before we leave? We'll still have to extend / border bounce to stay 6months so will still be getting more visas. We don't want to live in Thailand full time. Thanks for any helpful advice. I did search and know it was possible previously but seems customs are getting harsher 😉

After some insight in regard to the TDAC. I have an active DTV visa, which it’s my first six months into it so have gone to Bali to see some friends for a few days and return.

What am I supposed to put down for these questions? Purpose of travel? I am returning home.. I live in Phuket.. Date of departure and flight number? I don’t know. Once again I am returning to my home in Phuket lol.

Quick question..I know once non O retirement has been granted next step is to open bank account in Thai Bank and deposit THB800k my question is do I have to remain in Thailand for 90 days before arranging a multi entry or can this be done within the 90 day period before extension is applied for? Thank you

Can you same-day border run to Laos still, or do you HAVE to spend 1 night out in Laos?

Good evening , I would like to ask , if the borders to Cambodia or Myanmar are open and if it is possible to make a visa run ? Thanks a lot .

Within 3 hours of arriving back at my condo after arriving on my fresh DTV for the first time, I requested a new TM30 from my property manager. I went and provided the passport copies and she only sent my receipt 10 days later with the date 10 days late.

How big of a problem is this? It will be my first ever 90 day report. I'm a bit annoyed since I did things correctly and have a late TM30.

I've just received my new passport, because the old one has expired. The embassy officers intentionally damaged the old one - they cut it and punched holes in it. Is it like it should be done? Will the Thai officers at the airport understand it?

Is there a fee to file the TM30?

Hi, a couple questions regarding getting a Thai DL:

Do I need to have an IDP in addition to my Canadian license?

Is there an extra step to add a motorbike designation?

Thanks
