COMMENTS

Can I extend my visa for six months by traveling to Cambodia, and is it better to go by car or flight from Pattaya?

Steve *******

Visa runs to Cambodia cost around 4000. Don't pay the high prices some agents are asking for, they are all offering the exact same service at different prices.

But you should just fly to Kuala Lumpur and have a weekend holiday instead of sitting in a van all day for a new stamp.

What are the recent challenges foreign expats face when opening bank accounts in Thailand?

Steve *******

they are exactly that. Always posted by profiles with photos of light skinned skinny women, because that's what works for scamming Thais and old white men.

You have to physically be at a training facility for 15 hours to get your license, legally.

Why is the Thai embassy requesting additional documents for my DTV application in South Korea?

Steve *******

This is thai bureaucracy for you. They make things complicated for literally no reason and they LOVE paperwork without purpose

Just send the same exact bank statements you did before but with today's date and the other documents they asked for.

Do you have to enter Thailand soon after receiving your visa, or can you fly in whenever?

Steve *******

Anonymous participant you have 5 years to activate your visa by entering the country. But no embassy is going to give you a visa further then 3 months out from your trip.

What is the correct place of issue to list on my application if my Mexican passport was issued in Shanghai?

Steve *******

The place of issue is always your home country.

Is a TM30 required for a 30-day tourist visa extension in Thailand?

Steve *******

Yes. They will make you do your address report before you get to apply for the extension. And it can be done at the immigrant's office.

Will showing 500k THB in a savings account suffice for Thai visa application without additional proof of fund availability?

Steve *******

As long as the account shows your name and fulfills the embassy's requirements about how may months they should be there, you're okay.

But you might need to translate it to English.
