Hi all, apologies if this doesn't meet the group rules and guidelines. Admin please feel free to delete if not relevant. Firstly, are land border crossings open on Wednesday 25th of December (Christmas day)? Secondly, am I able to apply for a 60 day visa exempt entry back to back?

It is only the 2nd time I'm applying for a visa exempt entry this year. My current visa exempt entry expires on Wednesday the 25th of December and I'd like to return to Thailand on the same day and request a 2nd visa exempt entry. Does this sound feasible?

Previously (for the past 7 and a half years, I've been living in Thailand) on an initial 12 month non immigrant O visa based on being married to a Thai national and after that, I've been living here on 12 month non immigrant O visa extensions based on being married to a Thai national.

Thanks all for any current information and a special shout out to the Admin team for keeping this group accurate and concise. I've been living here continuously for 8 years thanks to the support from this group.

Medical insurance…

PLEASE ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUS / CURRENT CLAIMS EXPERIENCE.

Would like to hear from members experiences with medical insurance companies. Who have you used that have good customer service and settled your claim without any fuss?

Not sure if we can mention the bad ones due to laws here in Thailand? I’m sure someone will clarify if that can be discussed.

Thanks in advance.

As it is the modern times of 2024, why is the visa application process still 100 years in the past? I do not want to fix my itinerary before I travel, I am a free spirit who likes to learn by doing and my plans may change, so why would I even go to a country that expects me to book everything rigidly in advance? Malaysia seems a lot more civilised and business minded to me.

if my Thai friend has no tenancy/rental agreement document then how can I upload it as part of the invitation letter? They are not the property owner so have no house registration document.

Why is western Union cheaper than wise all of a sudden ? Transfer 20000. Bht wise £472 and western Union £457 (no transfer fee) I’m guessing it’s a one off no transfer fee ?

Has anyone applied for a DTV and been rejected. Do you pay upfront and lose the fee or what happens.
