Will Canadian passport holders receive a 15 or 30 day extension when doing a border bounce at the Myanmar border?

Ian ***************

Yes I remember that was a long time ago, but as you say there is still a lot of outdated info out there.

Ian ***************

A border bounce (leave then re-enter Thailand with visa-exempt stamp) gets another 30 days. It's not a visa nor is it an extension. But they do have the option to get a 30-day extension by going to Thai immigration and paying 1900 baht. Wondering where they saw these "conflicting reports".

What should I do with my marriage certificate when extending my Spouse Visa in Thailand?

Ian ***************

Every year when you apply for extension of stay based on marriage to Thai you have to go back to the district (Amphoe) office with your marriage certificate and get letter of verification.

What are the requirements and costs for a retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Ian ***************

So true, Thailand immigration offices are not like McDonald's where everything is the same everywhere. Specific policies, requirements, rules may (and often do) vary from one office to another. Some may have the McRib and Happy Meal, while others don't. 😉

What should we do if the immigration officer stamped the wrong exit date on a tourist visa in Thailand?

Ian ***************

The mistake was not with the IO, it was with your BF not showing the tourist visa. Always check the stamped-in date before proceeding. Yeah I know - nag nag nag 😉

What is the difference between a 'border bounce' and a 'visa run' in Thailand?

Ian ***************

The Nation touting the re-opening of land border between Nong Khai and Vientiane, but no mention if that includes foreigners or just Thai/Laos people and if it's bi-directional. Clear as mud once again. 😉
