Can I document my income for a visa extension with multiple monthly transfers or does it need to be one sum?

Brandon ************

@Michael *******

they're not all sent to Chiang Mai. They are sent to the district headquarters. I believe there's 5 districts. Maybe 6. They used to be handled at all a local level but there was too much fraud going on so they centralized processing and approval.

There are agents that can get your US marriage license legalized for Thailand. I don't know much about that process though.

How many times can my boyfriend enter Thailand on visa-exempt status in one year?

Brandon ************

He can do it until he can't. Immigration will not allow him to live here without a long term visa. It's up their discretion on every entry whether they let him in or not.

What documentation is needed for applying for an education visa while in Thailand?

Can I report my 90-day stay in Thailand online if I've re-entered the country?

Brandon ************

It's still better to try each time. There are people that get approved and save a trip to immigration. If you're rejected the worst is you're out 5 minutes of your time on the computer. The official policy is that you must do it in person the first time after entering Thailand, each time you enter.

Is the 99-year land lease and 10-year tourist visa proposal in Thailand legitimate or just speculation?

@Terje **************

Lawyers say what will get your business. They could care less what happens in 30 years from now. Just look at all the lawyers who say setting up a nominee company and even providing the nominees for owning a house is legal. Until the investigators come calling.
