easily done now land borders are open.

I haven’t had to show a test to an airline for a while.

Jody Dayton Peace I met a guy paying 3000 a month in Patong the other week, while playing pool. He was paying month by month. It wasn’t the best room, fan only and he did have to put a month deposit down. But I also just looked at booking .com and found guest houses for 4000, daily cleaning, no deposit. I don’t personally stay in these places but they exist.

wrong.

@Newton *********

there are actually plenty of rooms available for $100 for the month. That’s what a normal Thai would pay.

@Vitor ******

madness.

She needs to show she has a good reason to return to Thailand. A job (not bar girl) that pays regularly into her bank and with a contract of possible. Land in her name, a car, dependents like children or parents. Some money in the bank so if you two argue while she is over, she can take care of herself. But money has to have been there a while and cannot be transferred in just before the application. Best to use a decent visa agent and have them help you with what paper work is required. It is doable alone but takes some experience to know exactly what they want to see

@Andreas *******

as for needing the 30 day extension first, I know that’s a requirement if you’re on a visa exempt, not sure about coming off a tourist visa. You do know you can do a border run from some locations now? Look up which are open again, I know some of the Cambodian, Malaysian and Load borders have opened. You can literally step through immigration on the Thai side, get stamped out, turn around and come straight back into Thailand proper. You will have to do another Thai Pass and get your covid insurance etc… But I had a friend just do this on Cambodian border. You have options.

@Andreas *******

Phuket will do it… They’re the easiest going and can’t be bothered with hassle. Where are you right now?

From Phuket you can 100% get the covid extension. Chiang Mai also highly likely you will receive. Pattaya awkward. Just take your passport, tm30 (form from condo or hotel to state you stay there). T6, the card you received when landing. Copy those 3 things as well as your landing stamp which you can do at any immigration.
