Yes. Unless the officer says no. I’m not working for immigration but have done this in the past

I sid the same thing as I’m retired early and don’t qualify for retirement visa due to age. Good to have a bank account with non b already because banks don’t like dtv. Cancellation of the work permit took a while but went smooth

Maybe it makes a difference because he temporarily lives in the Philippines making car videos

My mom ended up on dialysis in Bangkok hospital. The insurance we contacted first was touring club Switzerland which she is a member of and has a travel option. They communicated directly with the hospital. I just paid a security deposit while they waited for a guarantee of coverage. Once this arrived, they asked for my bank details and paid the deposit back. I had to translate between insurance and hospital a few times as the insurance didn’t understand thai-English. The follow up appointment in another hospital was paid by her normal health insurance. I have never seen the price but I doubt we could afford to pay without insurance 😱

A black American here calls himself chocolate man in Thailand and has a successful youtube channel. Thais seem to love white skin. Every body wash shower gel has the word white written all over them. They buy it lol

If they stop you, just book an onward flight inside the airport and show them your booking confirmation screen 🙏

e visa Switzerland. I had to visit family there anyway and the agent helped me cancel my old work visa. I changed to DTV for retirement. But not 50 yrs old yet so not retired on paper
