@Stuart ********

haha that’s a hefty exchange rate. Already got one from an American friend 😉

@Stuart ********

that sounds simple enough. Now only to find a crisp US$10 bill 😝

@Jordan ********

hi Jordan, I sent you a PM with some questions, it’s probably in your message request folder. I’d be grateful if you would have a look 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Stuart ********

vaccination proof no problem. I just have some questions about the process, will search for the post. Thanks Stuart! 🙏🏼

just checked the website for the Thai Consulate in the Netherlands and it just mentions that you can enter for 30 days (currently until 45 days) visa exempt. Nothing about a day rule 🤔🤔🤔

So strange!!!

I keep hearing this same information and it’s *always* coming from German people 😵‍💫 And then when I Google it I can’t find anything about it. I have a Dutch passport and have never had an issue regarding this day rule, never even heard of it until recently. Could it be it only applies to Germans? (Can’t imagine, but still…)

For a Muay Thai gym to be able to offer ED visas they need special accreditation from the Ministry of Education. Most gyms don’t have this as it’s difficult and expensive to obtain. Tiger used to offer ED visa services (you had to pre-pay for 6 months of training), but even they now say just get a tourist visa and extension and do visa runs to Penang, so I guess it’s not worth it/too much hassle even for them.

This ‘guy’ you mention sounds a bit shady, is he from a gym? Or a visa agency? In any case, if I were you I would look for an accredited gym that offers visa services plus training fees in one package. A quick Google search turned up this (in Chiang Mai, definitely more quiet than Phuket or Pattaya)
