Oh sorry, I forgot that anonymous post are only to be taken serious when they confirm you ideas

@Justin *******

just look at all financial requirenents of all different visa on the official e-visa website, and you will see same words are used for all of them. And there is no official $ requirement, it is 0 THB. And your remarks that immigration can have other requirements is just foolish, they only can check the official visa requirements, just as embassy only can check for official requirements. With what documents you can prove the requirements they are more or less free to decide about. There is no reason to mention anything about when and how often visa requirements are checked. When you read the law about foreigners entering the country you csn read they have the right to check if your pupose of stay matches your visa. So when they decide to pay more attention to this, that has nothing at all to do with renegging on conditions. The fact they now rarely enforce does not give you any right for the rest of the period.

Some people are reporting questioning, but then you say it is not genuine

@Christopher **********

According to what reports it isn't happening.

Anonieme deelnemer They only offer a visa for a purpose you can use UP TO 5 YEARS. When the purpose is not there anymore the visa should not be used anymore.

Dental treatments can easily take more time than 6 months, so there is a good argument for the visa.

@Justin *******

The only stupid theory in here is that at a certain moment visa requirements stop. Nobody can exactly tell when and why that is logical.

5 years of dental treatment is not logical, but why should they make it overly complicated with hundreds of different valid dates.

One treatment might take 7 months, another 8 months, a third 12 months, not to speak from treatments where the end date is not known at the beginning.

Therefore it is perfectly logical to just have one validity termin, but the visa is only valid for the specified purpose of stay.

Very easy, but also unconvenient for the people that are not really using the visa for the purpose, but just book a course or seminar or dental appointment to become a visa to live in Thailand.

Anonieme deelnemer My experience is that embassy will answer email, and all immigration offices in Thailand also have an email address.

All up to you if you want to believe what others say, if you don't trust get your own info and don't ask at facebook groups.

And all official places just tell the same about visa requirements, litterally nowhere is stated that requirements stop at a certain moment, so they just stay valid for the whole period, why should they stop after an hour, a day, a week whatever. Not one of the people that say that visa requirements are not valid the whole period, can tell when requirements stop and where that is stated, simply because it is not true and does not make any sense.

But just believe what you like, no problem to me at all.

I can understand they are not happy with is, far too much possibilities to abuse it.

@Dany *******

The check on marriage or retirement visa on entry would be a bit superfluous, because these people are yearly checked when they extend.

A lot of them don't even travel in and out.

DTV is a lot different, no yearly extension, so no checkpoints other than on entry.

@Allan *************

It is not typical for Thailand, most countries do not intensively check people entering the country on visa.
