Not according to what the head of Phuket immigration said. He said second visa exempt entry of year no extension or 7 days (get out extension)

@Jay ******

people make up these new Acronyms and dont realise already been used. Never heard FUD in that context before In Britain its short for fuddy duddy (you old fud) and in Glasgow where i am from its a bit ruder. You may just consider using normal English in posts.

@Deepak ******

yes that is also an option now talking about a few years ago before dtv was available

Make sure do the proper goverment form its got gov in url and its free. Many other sites try catch you out

Not heard one single report of that. What does FUD mean ?

Met quite a few "snowbird" couples when i used to live in Phuket they used a couple of different ways.

Visa exempt (but that is not really an option now)

METV cheapest option but depends upon criteria embassy want (details of flights accomadation etc.

Non OA visa (you can get two seasons out of that with correct timing) Insurance involved which isnt a bad thing.

Elite visa (if money is not really an issue)
