What are the options for sending a passport from Thailand to Laos for a visa renewal?

David ************

hehe. That is not my question. I own a business there and need to renew my investment visa for Laos, not Thailand. I have no issue with getting the visa, but need to send my passport for it to be done by my staff, which I know can be done.

What is the easiest way for expats to open a bank account in Thailand?

David ************

you mean a resident permit. You can get that even with a tourist visa and it’s quite simple. If you don’t want to do it yourself an agent can also help with that

Do my children need to apply for a tourist visa to Thailand if we plan to stay for 33 days?

David ************

You don’t need to get a visa. Just get the visa exempt stamp at the airport immigration upon entry. It’s 30 days, so you’ll need to extend this at the nearest immigration office before the 30 days are over.

How many times can I enter Thailand on a Tourist Exempt Visa from Australia in one year?

David ************

No limits if flyin in. Coming over a land border is different. They only give two visa exemptions per calendar year as far as I know after that you need a visa (or fly in)
