What are my options for a 30-day visa extension in Jomtien, Thailand?

Alain ***************

Some hospitals can do extensions, too. Guess they have foreign patients who need this, too. Maybe you need to be customer there, though

What are the current visa fees and experiences for entering Laos from Thailand?

Alain ***************

I entered by air. Employee asked: do you need visa? I said i believe not. But maybe i researched the wrong sources. Seems like the swiss government negotiated a deal in the past. Maybe it’s different by land?

What documents do I need to open a Bangkok Bank account as a foreigner living in Bangkok?

Alain ***************

for every small change my local bangkok bank branch wants me to visit the office where i opened the account. Like when i lost my card i had to travel to pakchong. Would be easier to just use the bank across the street instead of a multiple hour taxi ride

@Sefton *******

thanks. I just called the swiss embassy and they said that they don’t know either. They said it might be a passport copy signed by the embassy but if I can get the bank to explain what it is, they will be happy to help me. If I find out, i will update this post as it might help others, too 🙏
