@Henrik ****

getting a new passport in my “married” (current official) name is going to be interesting because I got divorced about 25 years ago🤣 Passport name change will ask for marriage license.

😨 and I’m having problem with getting “proper visa” because they ask for bank statement for proof of funds and name on bank statement must match name on passport. Mine don’t. Passport in maiden name. Bank statements in married name 😨

@Jan *****************

that’s exactly what happened to us. On our third entry by air on visa exemption we were chastised by IO to “next time get a proper visa”.

Bangkok Hospital or Bumrungrad Hospital.

I paid 1900 to immigration and 1900 to agent.

We got chastised at Don Meung on our 3rd visa exempt arrival:

November 4 1st entry arrived by air from Vietnam

December. 9 2nd entry (arrived from Laos by air)

January 29 3rd entry (arrived from Cambodia by air)

I don’t think we did anything wrong but got chastised & written up. We stay 10-14 days in other countries then stay in Thailand 30 days. Is this wrong to do?

Can you have your bank add your maiden name onto your existing account? Many women use their maiden name with married name on their accounts. Like a hyphenated name. I have the exact problem you have. I gave up trying to apply for the 60 day tourist visa due to my different name on bank record vs passport. I traveled on 30 day exempt, and extension. As I understand, I can do this twice if by land or unlimited if by air. But I’m going to ask my bank if they can add a hyphenated maiden name to my account, or, maybe even easier, open a new account in my maiden name.

I wish I had turned in our slimey ABnb host. 🤬

@Andy *********

absolutely!!! That’s what we did. Save time, hassle. Agent happy, immigration happy, I’m happy.

@Chris ******

we got scolded & chastised to “get a proper visa!” When we did that. And something typed into their computer😨
