Can my father extend his 30-day exempt visa in Chiang Mai without having his passport held?

Jay ********

It's a couple of years since my last visa extension, also in Chiang Mai, it usually took about an hour, there used to be place on the opposite side of the road where you'd be directed for additional photocopies etc. All very easy to do, no need for an agent.

@Nick ***************

No, if I get stopped I've got a valid IDP (whilst waiting to renew my Thai licence), no fine to be paid.

Can I drive in Thailand with a full UK driving licence?

Jay ********

No, you need an international drivers permit, available from the post office in the UK. If you get stopped without then a small fine.

If you're staying longer then it's a simple process to get a thai licence using UK license.

What is the minimum bank account balance required for a Thai Tourist Visa?

Jay ********

I'm in the UK but for a 60day tourist visa the embassy wanted to see minimum £1k in my account and for the special tourist visa (90days and renewable) it was £5k.

What are the options for booking accommodations for the STV visa in Thailand?

Jay ********

@Randy ********

It's my understanding that you'll have the same requirements in 3months when you're planning to renew, insurance and accommodation paid for the following 3months so its not ideal. Btw I've opted for the STV too, going this weekend.
