@Glenn ****

i was more concerned about forgetting to buy a single one when leaving thailand.

thanks. I thought the single re/entry were 1900 and multi 3800. Did not check the form as was only interested in multi entry.

@Thaimer *****

it will be much more and you are at a mercy of the agent forever ….

@Brandon ***********

in addition to the 1900 fee? I think multi entry at the time of annual renewal is so much better and cheaper (3800 for a year).

It is really hard without all the paperwork or an agent … i had just about every document under the sun including one year visa extension yet was refused by two bank branches this week for most minor things on the long term lease and surname before first name on the residence letter from immigration ; 3rd time lucky today when kept trying (and because it was nearing the closing time rushing through paperwork). On a tourist visa not possible on your own. You will need an agent.

Probably max 30,000 per transaction not per day; do repeat the withdrawal and get another 30,000 out.

EU has rule …. No such thing in Thailand. Extend and Border run as long as you can get away with it is the rule in Thailand: you will know as you will be warned ( “this is last time” the immigration officer will tell you, usually they do not refuse entry….). They however can start looking at other criteria which could be used against you: exit route out of the country within 90 days, 20,000 baht on you, booked accommodation so being compliant after few extension and border runs is crucial.

I was at a Thai Local Branch yesterday and looked at the FX board: not compared well with the Wise rate.

@Hartmut *******

the letter i am picking up on Monday addressed to only one bank i had to nominate. The letter however free (but it takes 5 working days). Different IO do things differently.

@Neale ********

absolutely. Thai QR system: priceless (for us who do not carry cash).
