I popped over to Phuket from Singapore last weekend to play golf. A four day trip, I also got the third degree, proof of an exit flight, accommodation and questions about why I don’t have a more extensive visa. My explanation was I’m here to play a couple of rounds of golf, we got there in the end but I was a challenge, especially when I pointed out that I no longer live in Thailand full (previously had a Non OA Visa for three years) this change to just coming back as a tourist for tourist stuff completely threw them.

Cheaper for lenses but not the frames. The last pair I brought, I’d question the authenticity, even though they came from a reputable shop, the frames haven’t lasted well. Now I buy frames in Singapore and get the lenses done in Thailand.

Scam

I’ve used them to buy my condo 20 years ago. All good 👍

both insurance certificates are issued by the insurance company you select, so long as you choose one from the list of recommended suppliers. I’ve just redone my second OA whilst on a trip to Australia, took 7 days. One advantage of living/applying in Sydney is that you one have to show funds in an AUD account not money Thailand. But every consulate can have different interpretations of the rules.

Thanks, Tod I appreciate the confirmation. That's exactly how we plan to use the visa for the next year. Cheers

Happened to my wife, no exit stamp at Phuket. Just make sure when you come back you have proof of you original exit flight. They can look up the details and fix the stamp on your return.

Correct, in English was fine

Write you own letter, inviting them. I know it sounds crazy but I had to do the same for my wife who is on a trailing spouse Non O visa. It worked with the Sydney consulate

Not true, I bought mine before having a bank account. Just depends on how you want to pay the seller, in country, overseas etc
