yeah but still, you already paid for the visa (benefits) when you applied… anyways, I’ve never used an agency to do a border bounce, can’t imagine I ever will… especially now that I know this 😏

@Greg *******
absolutely ridiculous, it’s the same amount of work?? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anonymous participant yes because I had all the paperwork in order and requested the import license beforehand so it was ready when I arrived. Last time (July 2024, Phuket airport) the processing was done in 10 minutes tops

it sounds like Immigration really detests this visa and will make it as difficult as possible to do an extension. Hopefully it won’t get this difficult at border crossings/airports

for me not an issue (I own a house), but yeah can imagine this can get tricky, especially if they all start wanting house photos and house books of landlords like that guy experienced in Krabi 🫣

And what if you’re a nomad changing location every 6 weeks or so… is 6 weeks enough of a booking? More questions than answers…

You can bring in a pet regardless of what visa you have, can even do it on visa exempt. I have traveled with my cat a few times back and forth between Thailand and EU. You don’t need an expensive agency it’s a pretty straightforward process. Ask me anything ☺️

I would expect at the very least a letter stating that this person will continue training/has booked/paid for the next 6 months plus all the documentation that was in the initial package.

(Which shouldn’t be an issue if you are legitimately training 😉)

@Greg *******
don’t they mean a gym (probably the same you used for the initial application) that has to be registered with the Sports Authority? The wording is a bit over the top but I guess that’s Thailand for ya 😏

@Greg *******
huh, excuse my ignorance but why would you pay more for a DTV bounce than an exempt bounce? What’s the justification for this? (Just curious btw)

@Andrew *******
huh? 🤔 did you not read the part that said small gym, only does DTV for actual customers? They're not handing them out like cookies like some other gyms often mentioned on this forum, I think I was the 5th or 6th.
