When it comes to making any medical expense claims it will probably be much easier to deal with company in your home country for reimbursement.

Matthias Seiler TM7 form is the most time consuming document you will need filled out. Use a BLUE pen. Download it from immigration website and fill it out before you come. You will most likely need the TM30 screen shot from your current hotel or residence so make sure you get it from the property owner. Can been a screen shot on your phone. Other than that bring your passport and the cash. Come an hour early before your booked appointment time and ask the immigration office for the required forms - they will likely depending on which office you are at give you additional declaration forms to sign. You then need to go to the photocopy shop next to the immigration office and ask them to print out everything else you need. They will know what to photocopy out of your passport. You also can get the required photo printed by them. They should also have a glue stick to glue the photo to your TM7 form. Tip don’t use too much glue to avoid ink smudges going through the paper. Have I missed anything out? No accomodation receipts needed for tourist extension - just your matching TM30 address on your TM7 form. Go back to immigration and tell the officers at the appropriate counter that you have an appointment when your allocated time starts.

When taking cash from ATM as part of your free monthly Wise allowance if you find one of those AEON ATM machines the price as I recall is lower than the 220 of the other bank ATMs. I think it was 150-170 per transaction. Been over a year since I used it as have a Thai bank account now

Please note it’s not on the main road in Changwattana. It’s at the Government Complex building around the back and you will need either a taxi or motorcycle to get there from the main road or from IT Square

yes this was the process I took last year. It may had changed now as I’ve seen reports of people saying that so someone will need to go to Bangkok bank head office in Silom to ask for a list of the latest requirements. I was able to get this letter done at the NZ embassy over email. Note there is likely to be a consular fee for this service though cheaper than the insurance option.

I did this process last year. But have had reports of this requirement changed since March this year. Need to go to Bangkok bank head branch in Silom to get the latest list of requirements.

If you have had no other previous recent history there shouldn’t be any issues in doing a border bounce through a border run company. Google them for your area. That would get you a further 30 days which you can extend another 30 after that if you are from a visa exempt country. You may need to have 3 entry requirements ready if asked by border staff. The border run company will tell you what you need. Otherwise you could fly to nearby country and return but that is more expensive but good if you want a holiday elsewhere for a bit. Again it depends if you have had previous recent back to back history in Thailand.

Bit confused with your situtation as you give conflicting ino. You say you are in the US but have a tourist visa expiring in about 20 days. Does this mean you haven't used it yet or are you actually already here? If you are still in your home country and still have time you probably should apply for that METV. However you can probably get away with visa exempts as well for that pattern of travel if you are travelling by air for short stays and then off again to do business elsewhere. In Thai immigration's eyes you not someone trying to live and work there milking the system illegally and must have money and business interests if you are regularly on the go with international flights.

@Darren ********

better to book early to get the cheapest flight fares. Just make sure you tick all the requirement of the visa application. If you are unsure about something in particular you can always email your embassy and check these forums. So long as you have your flight, a booking for your first hotel stay, bank account statement that shows you have more than the required fund then you shouldn’t be rejected. Make sure your passport is up to date and not damaged. If there is a potential reason you think you could get denied for then you should mention it here so others can help advise on it.

in that case you should have been able to provide proof of the financial requirements for the longer multi entry tourist visa rather than getting single entry ones?
