Just imagine the chaos at the airports, if immigration at the borders would be closed and even if it's just for two hours.

Only if arriving by air. By land you still have to fill out the TM6.

1. Report to police as lost or stolen

2. Take police report and any other means of identification to your Embassy

3. Take Emergency Documents and letter from the Embassy (and if possible, your Embarcation Card) to Immigration to get a new "Permission to Stay" stamp in your Emergency Passport.

Ohh I had exactly the same just before Christmas but was way faster. I did track the Ems number. My son posted the card on 22 December 2022, I got it on Saturday 7 January 2023.

Took only 3 days from Exeter to Bangkok Sortation Center. From there 5 days to Koh Phangan and from our post office to my letterbox took 8 days. 😋

Several options.

1. You just go to check-in, if they want to see an onward ticket, ask to speak to the supervisor and explain why you don't have an onward ticket. E.g. onward travel by land, changing visa status in Thailand, etc...

If they still insist, just book a cheap AirAsia flight there and then. Then cancel it within 24 hours.

2. You buy an expensive, fully refundable ticket directly by the airline. Then you cancel it once you arrived and get all your money back.

2. You buy cheap AirAsia to a neighbouring country and either visit the place for a few days, then come back overland.

3. Buy a booking reference on "Onward Ticket" or one of the many sites offering that service, but be aware, it's a scam. It might work, it might not.

Maybe apply in the middle of April. Most Visa will be valid for 3 months from the date of issue. You must enter Thailand within the validity of the visa which would be latest by midd Juli.

Try:

Yes, correct.

Visa Validity is the time you have to enter Thailand and can't be extended.

The when you enter Thailand on that Visa you get X days "Permission of Stay" which can be extended for X days depending what visa you have.

@Tod ********

Can you clarify please if I"m correct.

From what I understand, It's only businesses that fill out the TM 30. Many of the privat landlords never heard of that requirement. (In order to register for the TM30 online portal, you need to have a business number)

Whilst a tenant, he can't file a TM30 but fills out a TM28 if the landlord has not filed a TM30.

Further more, my understanding is that you only need to file a TM30 (TM28) if you permanently change address or trav to a different province, not if you just move temporarily.

Take both passports, the letter you will get from your Embassy, fill out the form below and take all to immigration.

Easy, peasy.
