@Michael *******

stay out of that. None of your business when and how I answer.

Next year. Probably everybody yes.

Because the rule of “same year” will probably be dropped as it is used by many rich Thais to circumvent tax paying.

Let’s hope there will be a “retirement exemption “.

Why 2???

The 30 day extension is done by the local immigration for 1900 baht.

As others have mentioned, get a Pseudoticket for 10 bucks to be sure.
