My last name in my passport is ‘Sharma’, but on my visa grant it is written as ‘Sharha’. Will I be denied entry into Thailand? What problems could arise, and what is the solution?

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice 🙏🏻

My work permit expired in March, and I didn’t realize it at the time. I’m still working with the same company, and my Non-B visa is valid until May.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Could you please advise me on the proper steps to resolve this issue and how I should proceed?

Today I was at Immigration in Chonburi to extend my 60-day visa by 30 days - and I am now both tired and disappointed. Despite submitting a complete and correct application a month ago, and had an appointment today at. 08:30, the process today took over four hours. But it wasn't really the time that was the big problem - but the confusion. Several different queues, several license plates and no clear information about where to go. You had to ask yourself all the time. The feeding system was messy and difficult to understand and communication from the staff was basically non-existent. Unfortunately, I also experienced the staff as unpleasant and uninterested in helping. Another little strange thing was also that the pass was open in drawers in the waiting room - felt unsafe. By the way, my experience in Thailand - in terms of service in shops, restaurants and other activities - is very positive. Everyone is helpful, accommodating and happy but when it comes to authorities, my experience is unfortunately the opposite. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Idag var jag på Immigration i Chonburi för att förlänga mitt 60-dagarsvisum med 30 dagar – och jag är nu både trött och besviken. Trots att jag lämnade in en komplett och korrekt ansökan för en månad sedan, och hade en bokad tid idag kl. 08:30, tog processen idag över fyra timmar. Men det var egentligen inte tiden som var det stora problemet – utan förvirringen. Flera olika köer, flera nummerlappar och ingen tydlig information om vart man skulle gå. Man fick fråga sig fram hela tiden. Kösystemet var rörigt och svårt att förstå och kommunikationen från personalen var i princip obefintlig. Tyvärr upplevde jag också personalen som otrevlig och ointresserad av att hjälpa till. En annan liten märklig sak var också att pass låg öppet i lådor i väntrummet - kändes otryggt. Min erfarenhet av Thailand i övrigt – när det gäller service i butiker, restauranger och andra aktiviteter – är väldigt positiv. Alla är hjälpsamma, tillmötesgående och glada men när det gäller myndigheter är min upplevelse tyvärr den motsatta. Någon annan som haft liknande erfarenhet?

Hi all, slightly niche advice needed here.

My Husbands uncle is 84 and has been in Thailand for over 20 years. We have had very limited contact with him over the years and very little information on his living arrangements.

We were contacted by what we thought was his wife saying he has dementia and he needs to come back to the UK. It's been mentioned because of this his retirement visa won't be extended?

Would anyone have any advice on this? We have no idea of any Thai legalities, visas ect or if he has any way to Fund any care over there or in the UK. All I know is we are unable to financially support him at all.EDIT It is not that we don't care, we barely know this man, I believe he would rather stay in Thailand, why go back to a village in the UK with no living relatives on your own? If we could afford to bring him back and thats what he wanted, we would.

Is it true that Thai car companies do not finance cars to people working remotely in Thailand on a Destination Visa?

Is there anyone here have flight with emirates on 31 of march ? My flight been cancelled for the 4 times now, I’m going back to Cyprus, thanks

My Thai wife and I live in Los Angeles. We have applied to have conditions removed from her temporary green card, which has expired. As we wait for approval for the 10 year card. USCIS has extended the validity of the expired card for 48 months, good for “work and travel”

Given the greater visa scrutiny of 70 nations including Thailand, has anyone had any problems reentering the US, with an expired green card plus letter of extension?

Leaving Thailand next week and have had my DTV visa since last summer. Since having the visa, I’ve left the country 4 times but have never had an issue with immigration coming back in. I always bring a paper copy of my Visa, have never missed a 90-day checkin, and always do my TM30. I am flying back in to DMK. Is there a need for fast track?

I have seen some people get held up in BKK with immigration so would love to hear some input.

They’re up to it AGAIN!! Fricking Bangkok bank just locked my account AGAIN! Now! I just moved to Jomtien from Cha-am and went to the branch here and there they told me it has been locked AGAIN, NO NOTICE! and I have to go back to the branch I Hua Hin to present the information they need in order to have my account reopened!

I MEAN, WTF?!!!!!

Fortunately after the last time about 8 months again when they lock it and other foreigners accounts with NO NOTICE, and every cent I had was locked without access, I said F THIS, and opened a second account at K Bank and monthly put half in one and the other half in the other bank so I always have access to money when these MFKRS decide to just lock your money up!

FYI! K Bank took about 15 minutes to open the account, Bangkok Bank was an hour and a half so I highly recommend if any of you are coming to live in Thailand screw Bangkok Bank and go to K bank !!!! 😡🤬

I was denied entry into Thailand once last April due to visa runs. But was eventually able to get in a few days later. I then left two months later and haven’t been back since. I’m planning to go back in April making it 1 year since I was denied and about 10 months since I was last there. What are the chances I am denied entry again? I’ll only stay for 55 days with return ticket, funds, and accommodations. But I’m flying from the States and I don’t want to be turned around and sent back. Should I just go with an agency that will get me in? Or is a year enough time.
