double check.

Make sure that organize a Vietnam Visa if you need a visa before you go.

Like I say with friends and people going to India.

Just tell them you're a tourist. Who cares about income and other things like that.

Show them you have money, you don't have to show them where it comes from.

If you want to come to Thailand and stay longer term, get the 60-day tourist Visa, which you can extend for 30 days towards the end. But if you like it after one month then start looking at a long term Visa.

DMK is international also, don't be 44 minutes early, or you will be waiting for the next flight.

What a stupid system it's electronic! The "system" should not let this happen. Or the system should be able to be approved by any Consulate. It's not like LA or DC can't get the same information about you as the Chicago one.

When it was geographic of course it's better that way but it's electronic!

I know a 43 year old who was in Vietnam got a retirement visa OA approved through DC because he used his USA address. He's entered Thailand twice already on this visa.

If you want to know about Chiang Mai options message me. I have something that includes visas and extensions for a year.

@Kool ******

of which you still need to work permit for.

not for Australia, but they cut off the readable strip. Which invalidates it for travel.

I know America punches holes in it.

@Vicky *******

the passport is still a valid document as long as they haven't put a hole in it or cut the bottom readable ID section off.

If they have I would be buying a ticket at the airport and showing them the passport. Viable other options are the train.

My passport lives in my drawer. I travel domestically with my Thai driver's license. No questions asked.
