DTV Visa Success - Germany, Munich:

The process took about 9 days, including weekends and a public holiday. I applied for a new passport / express 1 day before so i uploaded a "pre-passport" document, but it was rejected twice. After explaining to the embassy, I later uploaded my actual passport, and the visa was issued the next day.

Question: My passport has 10 digits (bottom left) but 9 digits (top right). The german passport office said this is normal. Could this cause issues at border control?

Good luck to everyone!

Left Thailand yesterday for a few days .

Looks like the new automatic imagration system is up and running, when leaving.

No long lines straight through no hiccups.

Hi.

I have a UK passport and have entered Thailand via BKK 3 times in the last 5 months under the visa exempt scheme.

I’m planning to return very soon on 5 May via BKK for 14 days before going on to Vietnam for 10 days then returning to Thailand via BKK for a further 14 days.

Some research I’ve done states that only 3 visa exempt entries are allowed in a six month period.

Other research says unlimited visa exempt entries by air are allowed.

I’m confused?

Hi all, has anyone recently finished one year of education visa in Thailand and then tried to return to Thailand on a tourist visa within a few weeks/one month of leaving? Wondering if there is any anecdotal evidence about how immigration officers are responding to this at various borders. Thanks so much in advance!

I’m on a 45 day visa exemption. My British passport has almost ran out of pages and I’m applying for a new one at VFS. They’ll give me back my old passport, albeit with corner cut off, whilst British passport office prints out a new, blue passport for me.

Do I have to carry both passports through immigration at the airport when I leave, or, do I need to get the thai visa moved to my new passport?

Good afternoon,

Is the Border Control Room in Suvarnabhumi, the place where I can get the re-entry permit, before or after customs?

I see this question has been asked before but since it was last year just want to make sure if there were any changes since then.

Thanks a lot in advance!

This came up on the Korat Ex-Pats group. Is this true? I cannot find anything official.
