Around April this year and seems to be enforced.

Zimbabwean passport holders are now required to return to their home country for any Visa applications for Thailand unfortunately.

@Ron ******

no not at all.

Zimbabwe can only try at Hong Kong apparently but not guaranteed same as Botswana. It's a big risk

Zimbabwe cannot get visas anywhere except by returning to their home country unfortunately now. Is there a reason they did not get re-entry permits? Unfortunately the entire non B falls away upon exit and far as I know if u leave the country without a re-entry. We have had a Zimbabwean teacher recently and only Non B route is returning to Zim.

You cannot get a multiple entry Visa at all if you are not a Director or Shareholder of a company unfortunately.

Only a re-entry permit

Kota Bharu definitely not. They will request the same criteria : Owner / Director of the Company only. They tell you straight!

It all boils down to the type of passport you hold at the airport too. Some are targeted and others are not. No doubt you hold a strong nationality

Always cash

Yes the border is very strict now and they are asking everyone for the cash proof of funds. We have teachers crossing all the time for their Non Bs and all have been checked including European passport holders, South Africans and quite a few others. At the moment it seems the American passports dont get asked but this is not a guarantee
