I had one sent from America. I tracked it to BKK. It got to BKK in 9 days. It took 23 days from BKK to Pattaya. So there’s still a chance.

Immigration. I had to get one to buy my motorbike in BKK. I went to CW immigration office and they did it on the spot. If they mail it to you it takes two weeks and cost 200 baht. Instant service was 1000. I didn’t want to wait.

La Choza Soi 9 Jomtien. Old man weed shop just past the big temple on Pattaya Tai and just past Grand Hotel beach road Soi Wat Boom Jomtien. Candyland and one other Soi Bukhao. And many many more.

You get 30 days “visa exempt”.

When I was working in Bangkok my colleague had an issue with his Non B. It was about to expire (as in less than a week) and no one was aware. They were under the false assumption it was a one year visa. No one understood it had to be extended before the 90 day mark.

The company hired an agency as they were clueless. The agency gathered paperwork and headed to CW to file for the extension. There were errors and other paperwork was needed from the company. They gave an extension for the company to gather the paperwork required. I believe it was for 14 days.

If the appointment isn’t for her she will have to wait outside the embassy. Hell, when my wife was getting her fiancé visa they wouldn’t let me in with her and I’m the American.

I went in May. No one ever asked for any proof of vaccination or anything else.

I bought a motorbike in BKK and Pattaya and they both absolutely required a copy of my Thai motorbike license to make the purchase.

I heard it doesn’t start until December but haven’t seen that confirmed. Any idea?

I asked this before and (like many things) depends on your IO. I am in Pattaya. I went to the Jomtien office before I left and asked this question. I told them I am coming right back to that same condo. They said “you must do every time.”
