ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

PENDING CHANGES TO VISA EXEMPT ENTRY/EXTENSION PROCESS

There is no doubt that the "winds of change" are blowing regarding the 60 day visa exempt entry program and the extensions associated with them. It also appears these changes (what ever they turn out to be) will take effect Monday Nov 17th

The inter-web is rife with every Tom, Dick & Somchai influencer :O posting about the changes like they have some back-channel path to what's really gonna happen

BUT

at this time there is no real direction from the immigration office as far as what will happen and how any changes will be implemented.

Because of this, we're not letting posts on the group asking about it and we're deleting comments that try to quote what the changes will be. Until we get hard evidence from immigrations spelling out exactly how these changes will work, who they will affect, and what they really are we're keeping a lid on the rampant speculation sweeping the tiny portion of the inter-web that is thai related.

We realize these changes will affect many people and as soon as we know ANYTHING concrete as far as what will be happening we will indeed share it

We're just not gonna fan the flames of mis-information that are raging out of control on the inter-web..

Thanx one and all for your understanding in this matter...

I remember a post/video somewhere saying that Thailand would start some sort of electronic check in (immigraton wise) where you would enter your stay information (hotels, entry/exit info, etc). Later I heard that is was postponed. Does anyone know of this and it's status?

I am planning to visit Thailand later this month and I cannot find anything about it online. Thanks in advance.

COE will be replaced next month by the "Thailand Pass" system. Expect lots of teething problems.

NEWS NEWS

Yes, for sure we also did see the new Notification of Changing.

You can read by using this link, on top left, you can change from Thai into English.

And as we all knew the enforcement differed at the Immigration Offices, a change would hopefully lead to one rule fits all, but that would be wishful thinking.

So our advice stays the same:

CONTACT YOUR LOCAL IMMIGRATION OFFICE,

We will delete all other new posts linked to this subject.

Thanks for understanding.

Has the immigration website changed lately?

I want to download a TM8 re-entry form but the new??? immigration website doesn't have downloads in English.

Is the old website finished?

Hi all,

There are rumours that due to the new appointment of immigration head, they will be stopping student visa for Chinese national and student visa will be heavily scrutized.

Anyone knows any updates information
