Hi Everyone, I am on a 60 day visa exempt with 30 day extension that runs out next week. I am living in Bangkok and I need to leave the country to get a new stamp.

In the past (10years ago) I went to Poipet, and Savannakhet. I dont know if the service at those locations is as rapid as it used to be.

I have also flown to Laos and stayed overnight for next day visa.

Can you please recommend the most effieicent route for same day or overnight visa renewal service. Thanks in advance.

I have a Filipina friend wanting to visit Thailand… She is a first time traveller outside her country, but she will have the 20.000 Bahts along with an Address of accommodations as well as the Return Ticket required -after her 60 or 90day stay as is the New Rules published on July 15th for the Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme for Philippines…

I did read a few articles on Sponsoring, but as a Foreign on long term visa here in the Kingdom, I am not even sure if that is an option although the Officer could check with a few clicks that the place of residence is a match to her Declaration as well as I been living here for over 10 years, so that could at the very least give Validity to her Declaration. Thanks in advance for your educated advice. Very much appreciated
