Norman Upton I’ve been going to Thailand for about 20 years. Air Canada and Qatar airlines were the ones who gave me issues. I just buy throw away tickets these days.

I live over here now between Thailand and Vietnam so I don’t run into those problems anymore.

Norman Upton I’ve had a problem leaving YVR just a couple of months ago. I had to purchase a ticket out of Thailand before the 60 days was up. I’ve had the same issues leaving YHZ and YYZ.

Immigration won’t be the problem. It’s the airline agent checking you in that has the issues with it.

Graham Seal I’m just curious and not trying to get into an argument with you, once again.

Why wouldn’t there be? I’ve had non-o’s in the past and I was able to get a 30 day extension and then bring my wife with me to immigration and then get a 60 day extension based on being married to a Thai.

You should have done the 30’days first and then you could have done another 60 days after that.

And yes, it’s still doable in Bangkok. When I was there last I asked them and had the wife ask them too just to make sure they knew what I was talking about.

Larry Wheeler that’s up to them. I’m only giving the advice as if they were trying to maximize the visa to its fullest. At most it would take approximately 2 weeks to have the visa issued.

I would apply the first week of April. That should give you enough time to receive it and to use it to its full extent, if you plan on trying to get as much time as possible from the visa.

true enough. And the worst part is they won’t even say yes or no. They’d rather just deny me and keep the fee. I can’t see it being an issue. All they need to see is my name and the balance.

just the answer I was looking for. I was wondering if I was able to do that. I don’t think they need to see what my transactions are.

Thanks.

Martin Mairesse oh yes, you’re correct. I forgot about that. Good catch.

Going to need the tourist visa now.

Paul Vee you could still apply for the 30 day extension. It’s a bit of a PITA but it’s still available.
