it is annoying when I was wanting a visa to go to Chula uni on their courses for learning Thai language. As it happens now im going to do as originally planned and go on an O visa then extend based on marriage. Ghen enrol on the course once settled in Thailand.

For me, i prefer to attend classes. I will study online with them before I go though.

But I agree, its really annoying when im passionate about learning thai as well as the history and geography, and I bumped into a guy in a bar and he said he enrolled on a course at some establishment. Said he only wanted the visa and he has no interest in studying.

People milk the system and genuine folk get penalised.

thanks Brian. Was a good job I booked slightly less than 60 days!!

Will double check next time thanks for checking.

Interesting on my visa exempt stamp on arriving into Bangkok. Stamped in on the 7th Feb, with the other stamp saying 7th April.

With Feb having 28 days they got it wrong by a day!!

thanks thats good to know. Many thanks for your help Brandon.

@Mikkel ******

thanks Mikkel. No problem for me to have 400k in the thai bank.

Selection of the correct 90 day initial entry is where im struggling on the E-Visa website!!

@Brandon ***********

ok thanks Brandon. Maybe I stated something not clear. End of July im retired. But as my wife is Thai, i want to ultimately have the 12 months extension based on marriage. The immigration are excellent in Buriram and my wife and I have been there a couple times already.

But what seems difficult or rather frustrating, is I cant seem to select the correct 90 day initial visa. (Which I can only 3 months out from date i intend to arrive in Thailand which is middle October.

@Wannikea ********

2 years. But you are right, i should stick to my original plan for working towards a marriage visa.

I need to get out the UK ASAP!!

But it is marriage not retirement

(Though I retire in two months time before I apply)

@Bob *********

ok thanks Bob. Is that selectable from the E-Visa website? I don’t recall seeing it.

I have to wait until mid July as I can’t apply until 3 months before.

But know what to select would be useful

@Bob *********

as I was to move to thailand full time middle of October, i should get the type OA visa then extend for 12 months after 3 months.

Trouble is, im struggling with the E-Visa website.
