Can I stay in Thailand until midnight on the date of my visa stamp after my flight is cancelled?

@Mica ********

you’re missing the point! It IS a big deal for a person wishing to apply for a Long term residence visa (LTR), a Thai Elite visa or a Destination Thailand visa (DTV). Because, if they have an overstay on their record their application for any of these visa’s will be denied.

@Mica ********

not a good idea! There are numerous Thai visa’s that you will automatically be ineligible to apply for if you’ve had an overstay.

What organization can I contact to complain about a hotel in Pattaya without hot water?

Brian **********

If payment was made on a credit card I would call the issuer and see if there is some recourse. Ie, you were not provided with the advertised accommodations that you booked. I’ve successfully had cc charges reversed in the past.

@Todd ********

they wouldn’t accept equity investments they were only interested in seeing a straight up cash balance for their requirements. At least in my case.

I’d never park 100k in the bank earning next to nothing. So I choose the 1 yr health insurance option when I received my LTR last year.

I agree, it’s the best visa out there for anyone who qualifies.
