I’ve seen in Chiang Mai they have 6 months class for 15,000฿ + normal fee.

@Paul ******

sorry to disappoint you. The John Belushi the world knew and loved passed away in 1982.

I only share a name.

I’ll enter Laos with it. And have it for my Thai visa.

I don’t know the connection between the guard gate and the officials and processors.

Maybe the computer system tells them exactly which passports will submit applications that day.

Maybe it’s only a formality to enter. And what is written on the application matters more than how you got in that day.

It’s an oddly specific question. I will attempt to contact the consulate asap.

I misunderstood. Yes, 30 + 30 is total of 60 days. Exempt is free then the fee.

If you arrive this month, you get 45 days. And could get a total of 75 days before having to leave the country.

@Yo***

, if you have a visa EXEMPT stamp OR a 60-day Tourist Visa and you wish to extend it for 30 days, you can visit an immigration office with forms and 1900 baht.

Thank you very much!

I can imagine how you feel.

I’m sorry to hear you had this experience in a different place with a different person after years of good service.

Be that as it is...

People hire boats for fishing charters and come back with different fish.

I found a honey hole and your secret spot was fished out.

Sorry bud.

Only a few ways off once you're on. They sure don't make it easy to stay here if you're under 50 and unmarried to a Thai.

The only "easy" way is to part with 600,000฿ for a 5-year Elite Visa (or 1M for 20 years).

If a rich Uncle died, I'd do it!

@Bo***

, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and they were one of the more affordable options. I was quoted between 5,900-12,000฿ from agents in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya.

My other option that one agency suggested was leaving Thailand and coming back in. How much would that have cost me?

Yes, I did it about a week ago. Was fine.
