@John ******

no mate just pointing out facts of the situation - people that sit on these posts complain how visa changes are being made or enforced forget the main point - its a privledge - they can wake up tomorrow and suspend the visa exempt program for any nation they see fit or all together - thats the reality of it - then make everyone apply for a tourist visa

@John ******

under a year - and I dont complain when they tighten up their visa policy due to fraud and abuse - why i said you dont sound like someone who been here 10 years in my first 3 months they do alot of changing switching or talking about changes. I would assume someone been here for 10 years would have been used to that by now - let me guess you spent years here on visa exempt and now upset cause you cant ?

@John ******

your confusing rights and privledge - they can revoke your visa without cause and there is nothing you can do for it. For someone who has been here for 10 years you havent figured out that they change things on the go - most things they make announcement of never get enforced. You clearly haven't seen the abuse of the exempt they are dealing with and illegal activities - its their right to make things changes to what they call rules - IO still have the right to look at someone with visa exempt and deny them 😉

@John ******

yeah you dont sound like someone here for 10 years at all 555

@John ******

it always was for VOA after 15 days - visa exempt allows up to 30 days extension however their right to restrict that - you must be new to thailand

Its not new rules they are just enforcing what they were not enforcing since after covid to allow more "tourism" that was getting abused

@Lynnette ******

yes its going to require the proper visa to unfreeze it - like a retirement - LTR - or marriage

Get a valid visa that will get you a bank account

You have the DTV active leave and come back every 180 days - if you stay and extend you have to show proof as if you are applying again - thus far the only thing ive heard asked when returning is proof of funds in savings and that is rare - never asked to show enrollment in anything when coming back hope that helps
