What are the current uncertainties regarding the renewal and re-entry process for the new Thai visa?

Dave *****

Exactly this. In PH, Chinese gangs started to kidnap people. This put an end to that visa very quickly once the media blew it up.

Not to mention Thai Priviledge business going to get absolutely killed by this. The guy who owns this is a well connected dude. I am sure he will throw his 2baht in to the discussion.

Do I need a confirmed flight itinerary and travel insurance for my Thai visa application?

Dave *****

The flight and arrival date seems to be just a left over from other visa applications. They dont really check or scruitinize this.

I think the attraction is lack of 90 day reporting and just less agent and immigration involvement. It’s just simpler and less paperwork. Having said that, we will have to wait and see how it will work out.

I have seen this happen in many SEA countries. For example SRRV smile in Philippines was cancelled due to chineses casino operators abusing the visa. Thai government want people in the country but not open the floodgates to all sorts of people.

This isn’t negativity. But people shouldn’t count on it without knowing the facts.
