A tourist visa or a free entry stamp?

It's a Immigration Office specific thing. I have a buddy who does two transfers a month, baht each, for retirement visa, and this is accepted at Bangkok. The problem is it creates a bit of extra work for the IO, and I prefer to keep it as simple as possible to make them happy. He gets away with it, with 2x per month, but it's really down to your immigration office

If you're using an agent to bypass the financial criteria, it's hardly "legit" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Exactly. And a business that nets me 20,000 baht tax free for two hours sitting in an air-conditioned office reading a book is a pretty good one. 95% of my income is from managed super funds, stockmarket returns and investment properties, which is all "passive" - I don't have to lift a solitary finger!

@Bill ********

I couldn't justify spending 20,000+ baht for something I can do myself in a couple of hours. If I pay myself to do simple visa extensions it's 10,000 baht per hour tax free I'm getting. That works for me! 👍😆

It's not any specific amount. They simply like to see a solid savings record. Realistically, anyone can drop $10,000 into an account for a few days. Last time my lady did a UK they asked for 12 months bank statements. UK is getting tougher. Also show payslips and employment record

I didn't say he was staying at hotels. He said he wasn't aware of hotels doing it, but most do, but they don't necessarily tell you. That's the point I was making 😆👍

Jeremy Miller Yes "technically". But smart people get a proper visa which doesn't require the expense of scampering to a land border and an immigration office every 30 or 60 days. Border bouncing does cost money and time

@James *****

You cannot use "reputable" and "visa agent" in the same sentence 😆😆😆
