Hi, does the 5 year Elite visa allow you to bring in your container of personal effects and furniture import tax free ?? If not, why would anyone buy an elite visa ?

We concluded if we go on a retirenent visa, we cannot bring a 20 ft container of our stuff because its now v likely to trigger a large import and vat bill....they talking 30 pc to 200 pc of CIF value, crazy, so that is pretty pointless...

Since multiple entry tourist visas are available again. Does anyone know how this would work with border runs since all borders still seem to be closed and neighboring countries don't open for tourism yet.

Hi all, I need your advise. My bf has a job in Bangkok and therefore i am visiting multiple times a year, usually a few months on end. Until now I have been using the visa exemption on entry (30 days + possible to extend another 30).

But this time the immigration officer gave a warning, I will be refused next time if I don't have a visa. My return flight to Belgium is on 29 november, I need 2 more months in the Kingdom and want to try to get a 60 day tourist visa when I'm in Seoul next month. But not sure if they will grant it there...

Anyone with experience applying for a tourist visa in an other country?

Should I explain my situation when applying? My bf is born Thai (but Belgian nationality), he speaks Thai so maybe he can help.

For the long term I'm also not sure. Should I try to get an O visa to accompany him while he works here? We are not married, but together for 7 years. Also if we'd be married, unsure if they would recognize gay marriage in Thailand. Or should I get an ED visa and study Thai for a year? Or find a job and get a work visa?

Thank you

Thanks for the ad guys!

What are the options for someone who doesn't want to get married (yet) is under 50, financially independent, and wants to stay in Thailand?
