Thank you, so I thought. I may stay 2 weeks or first month) then come back to Thai while my initial 3 months visa (with one re entry and possible extension if needed) is still valid.

Does it matter if my immigration letter for visa renewal is in Thai or English?

@Bob *********

I have to use Japanese bank statement to get 90 days stay visa with which I can open a bank account with a Thai bank. Then, once I have that account, move 800K THB into it, leave the funds to season 2 months and then apply for O visa.

I had (the whole family) 4 COVID vaccines in Japan, the last one was October 2023. The vaccines are valid (reportedly effective) for one year.

Even with those 4, I am wondering if Thai require a more recent one.

Hope it has not gotten into that hysteria again.

Where did you see

"I just remembered the recent news that the initial stay period for visa-exempt entry got reduced from 60 days to 30 days" as a formality?

Does Thai immigration know my travel history when I renew my passport?

Jim *******

There was a story in Japan press about a Chinese woman who switched her left and right fingertips (ooouch, surgicaly, in China) trying to fool the Japan Immigration.

Since the story made it into the media, they got her.

Is living in Laos and visiting family in Thailand feasible?

Jim *******

@Donald *********

Thai is 2,200km long point to point state.

What is this?

"South are more likely to be Kymer origin rather than Lao."

Is it "Kymer" or Khmer (Cambodia)? My wife can peak Khmer.

Europe, the same distance, like from Stockholm to Rome and you fly over many countries, languages (mutualy unintelligable) , legistratures and cultures.
