the nameless visa agency.

I think it is impossible to give you any clear answer because we don't know your lifestyles, age, standards of living and city where you plan to live. My health insurance covers up to 500k usd w a higher deductible, I am healthy in my mid 40s so my insurance is only in cases of emergency cost 20k baht a year.

Cost of living in Bkk is much higher than other parts of the country. Do u plan on living in bkk or another province?

A descent 3 bedrooms condo is about 40k baht in the city in a good area.

Electricity if u can live without AC is around 1000 baht. With AC running 2500 baht and up.

I chose to live in the center of the city so I don't need a car. Traffic is truly awful.

@Anthony ********

when did u do it? Before covid the immigration there was not allowing visa runs in that border

@Dahni ******

you don't do Poi Pet for a visa run, it was the NO-GO border pre-covid for visa runs.

Either the border w Laos or the 2 small borders in Chantaburi or the one in Trat.

@Steve ******

when did you do your visa run?

I spoke w the visa agent that works on the border on May 8. She said I needed to stay over night.

I read 1 report from someone who did at another Camdo - Thai border and they said the same.

Staying overnight was a very old rule that was not enforced for the past few years.

@John ********

there was a rule that you need to stay overnight in Cambodia. Do you know if that is still being enforced?

There are some bogus places that will provide u w a volunteer visa and a work permit.

That is most likely the cheapest way.

I do not recommend doing that if u have to fly out and fly back into the country.

The immigration at the airport is not on their payroll and will put you on a flight back home.

It is a safe alternative if you plan on stay here the entire length of your visa.

Quatar and Lufthansa had free cancelations a few months ago. Not sure things changed.

If u are doing book and cancel always buy straight from the airline website. If u use a third party like kayak it can be more difficult to cancel

I would do it at the bank branches located at chaeng wattana (assuming your interview is also there). I am sure they will know the required document.

I sent to CU many times w Dee Money
