You might aswell put that money down the drain. Also you can’t work there legally unless you have a work permit.

Some of these comments are garbage.

Just get an extension or change departure day.

Or follow the garbage advice and risk an overstay mark in your passport.

that’s Thai bureaucracy for ya. Unless it’s carved in stone not even the people who legislate these things really know. The whole thing is shrouded in contradictories and vagueness.

within 24 hours? I’ve been at my gf’s house now for 2 weeks and we keep forgetting about. We doing it tomorrow

I’ll add another comment about my experience this year.

I arrived end of January on a TR visa which I extended 60+30. I then went to Vietnam for the weekend then came back on visa exemption which i extended 30+30. After that I did a solo border run which was a terrible and expensive idea. Little did I know the land border I chose was known for militant IO’s. At first they denied me entry grilling me for my visit history in late 2022 early 2023, and said come back tomorrow (for various reasons I could not) so i gave some guy 5000 baht and he talked to someone in the IO office in which I was then granted entry on another exemption which i extended again 30+30.

After that I went back the UK for a little over a month. I then came back with a TR visa, I know I can get 60 days with exemption now but I thought a proper visa would look better.

Anyway going through immigration at bkk the IO said I didn’t need a tr now as it same length as exemption, he then asked where I was going and I said getting another flight to chiang mai, he warned me about flooding and I said I’m aware thank you then stamped me through.

I’d get a DTV but I don’t qualify as I don’t have a spare £10k just sat there lol.

No one has a clue. Depends what mood the IO is in.

@Steve ******

strange. I always book one way I fly NCL-DXB-BKK

Maybe they don’t ask cos I’m flying to Dubai first, Dubai never ask. God knows.

Depends who you fly with I always use emirates and never been asked. If you’re paranoid just book a cheap throwaway or one you can cancel

@Steve *****

I’ve never been asked once with Emirates
