Do I need to show a return flight when entering Bangkok with a US passport?

Andy ************

Not a return flight, but your airline may ask for proof of ONWARD journey at check-in

Do I need to fill out a digital arrival card if I already have a non-immigrant 90-day visa for Thailand?

Andy ************

I'm an Australian citizen but each time I enter Australia I still have to fill in a landing card. It's strange this entitlement thing in Thailand

Can I fill out the TDAC early?

Andy ************

@Dennis *********

I'd be doing it before I get on the plane or even on the plane. Once I get to Suvarnabhumi I want to get through as quickly as possible

@Dennis *********

As I understand there will be a couple of computer terminals available and assistance from an immigration department officer. I can only imagine how the queues will be for this, so I think anyone planning not to do it beforehand should allow an hour or two going through immigration, but at least your luggage will be waiting for you!

What should my friend do if denied entry to Thailand due to visa issues at Bangkok airport?

@Albert *******

Visa agents are unlicensed and unaccountable. Never take anything they say as gospel

What should I do if someone is giving me false visa information and harassing me in a Facebook group?

Andy ************

I want to complain about the moderators allowing this original post. It's costing me a fortune in popcorn, and the lawn needs mowing

What are the current options for obtaining a marriage visa or a longer stay in Thailand if I can't show 400,000 Baht?

@Chef *********

So where's the threshold? Ten years together? Thai women are incredibly patient waiting for the goose to lay the golden egg. I think you'll find there's more scam marriages in these situations than genuine. I'm happy to remain single and live with my lady. It's no hardship for me to go once a year to immigration to extend my stay

@Chef *********

You do realise just about every country in the world operates similar systems? How many scam marriages would there be in Thailand if the government just threw open the doors to anyone married to a Thai? I wish other countries would adopt the "check in" every year to make sure couples were still actually married and living together

Can my friend transfer their one-year visa to a new passport if their old passport expired?

People will always be scammed by visa agents. Totally unaccountable
