What should I do if my J1 visa is expiring before I travel to Thailand and I received an email about the 6-month passport validity rule?

Ruth *******

That’s odd. Where was your onward ticket to when leaving Thailand? Was it back to Columbia? I have no experience in this area. Does someone else know why Thailand would care about her ability to return to the States?

have you ever received an explanation for why one needs insurance to deposit money? I’ve never understood this, beyond the obvious simple scam of it all. Loans make sense, but why would a bank need insurance when they’re holding your money?
