they found out that my visa application said no criminal convictions, but I had been sentenced to real prison as a 17 year old for armed robbery and attempted murder by shooting at a bank teller.

In general belief minivans are involved in many accidents, hence the nickname “suicide-vans”. However, I know many friends (both Thais and foreigners) that use minivans daily and none of them been in any accidents (yet).

When using the visa-run minivans you’re insured up to 500k thru their service. I use them from time to time, traffic is crazy and dangerous here no matter what type of vehicle you’re in, so I wouldn’t avoid a visa-run due to risk for accident.

land of the free? 😂

Greatest country in the world? 😂

No visa needed, you get 60 days on arrival and can extend for 30 more days. Then visit a neighbour country for 1-3 days and get 60 new days on arrival again and then extend for 30 more days. There’s your 6 months without any visa hassle. 🙏

I was in poipet a month ago and it was cheaper than Bangkok and they barely wanted $ they preferred Thai baht actually

Visa extension is easy, you can do it yourself.

Just go to immigration website and download the tm7 form, you can autofill it in your phone. Print it and add a photo, bring your tm30 and passport and go to immigration and get your extension.

Any visa agency in Pattaya will open bank account for you, cost 5k-8k baht. On any visa. Yes its legal

@Stephen ********

really? I just used Poipet 3 weeks ago without problems.

Where should I go next time? Venetian is a bad choice according to some that had to bribe the officer with 20k baht
