What benefits and rights does a Thai Pink ID card offer to a foreigner married to a Thai citizen?

Chris ********

- Agree. It has made my life easier. Especially opening bank accounts. I have had mixed success using it to get Thai price for national parks and tourist places with dual pricing. But always worth a shot in case it works.

What should I do if my Thai visa is about to expire and I need to catch a flight soon?

Chris ********

@Anthony ******

It's because your asking for a 7 day refusal. It comes into effect the day they process it, you would have less time if they did it now. Just go ask for standard 30 day extension.

What are the rules regarding the 90/180 days stay in Thailand for tourists?

Chris ********

as an FYI. Embassies fall under ministry of foreign affairs (MFA). Immigration falls under Royal Thai Police. RTP

MFA sets the rules for a Visa

RTP sets the rules for Immigration

Your question would fall under RTP so anything MFA advises is often incorrect.

Chris ********

I'm not sure tbh. I was using their online calculator for this calculation.

There would be a way to transfer large amounts but I'm not sure the details.
