No, because after testing it failed to satisfy bank so went with chase.

you may end up being more confused. Also the laws change.

I get what you’re trying to do/say. And the reason why. But talk to a lawyer about this.

@Yns ****

my understanding is everytime you enter Thailand from another country you get a stamp. It is from that stamp you have 364 days to report (you lose a day so it's not 365). But at the 5 year mark no matter what you have to do apply again for the second 5. So essentially with the LTR if you leave the country less than a year each time you know report at 5 years. TM30 still applies.

You didn't leave the country in the 12 months since you got your stamp?

cool. Before Covid the pages were filling up fast. In Vietnam I asked if they could use an existing page with room. Had it prepared…so they stamped me on a new page to put me back in line lol.

I would like to know how to get officers to stamp on a page that already has stamps while not alienating them or risking rejection. Let us know if you figure out the right words and action to do this.

If you open a credit card account they will hold funds against the card. Those funds can earn interest after one year (about 225 basis points at the moment). Ask your bank about it.
