@Tyler ******
is thought our(swiss) banks are the worst. But fun fact: if I choose bank transfer to wise, i pay from my swiss bank to an American bank branch in Switzerland so it’s a domestic transaction which is free but impossible on weekends ( their computers need a rest, I guess)

Does an American bank charge you for domestic transfers?

@Mikkel ******
yeah. But even back when i was a walking person, i left planes as the past pax because i let the ones fight for being first to exit. Eco class people start running as soon as the plane hits the runway 😂

Most schools take care of your ED visa. But it takes some time for the paperwork with the ministry of education. And they asked for 12 photos or something like that 😂

Just follow the signs to baggage claim. They won’t let you exit the airport without asking for your passport and stamp the arrival date ( that’s what the exempt is, just a stamp with a date that tells you when you have to leave. If you extend, you’ll get another date stamp. Don’t follow the sign "visa on arrival" if you’re country is eligible to visa exempt. But after you get your stamp, check if the date is correct. Mistakes happen but problems with immigration is not what you want 😱

And also make sure that the bank branch where you opened your account updates it. I had a lot of headache because my passports expired since i opened it in isaan years ago. Not living there anymore. Luckily a lovely employee of a local branch could tell them to do it that i didn’t have to visit this town 😂

sometimes yes, but i really have quite a few meds inside. Plus clothes. Maybe buy a few packs of the cheapest pain killers lol

If they say it’s too heavy, they’ll direct you to check-in. This will be significantly more expensive than booking extra kilos in advance. That’s how low cost airlines make money. They never cared about my shoulder bag which also contains phone, passport and wallet. But my carry-on has medicine in it and i printed a label that says prescription medicine inside.
