Ok. So as you all know immigration offices are closed until Thursday 17th. For many offices they will be absolutely chaotic on Thursday. If you can avoid going to immigration on that day then please do so.

If your entry stamp or extension finishes between now and then, then go on the 17th and be prepared to wait for a long time. You won’t be fined because of closure but will get an overstay stamp.

Friday will probably be crazy too because of the fallout of the 5 day closure.

Going to immigration early is usually a good idea for most extensions but this week if you really don’t need to go then just don’t.

If your extension or entry stamp is after the 20th then just do everyone a favour and avoid immigration.

I have no idea on the policies for all the immigration offices, but you may well find that some will turn you away if you don’t need immediate services.

You should be able to fill it out early

Can you apply for a tdac if you are living in Thailand and only leaving Thailand for a 1 or 2 days.

Hello ☺️🙏 me and my 2 babies (swedish citizen) entered Thailand on 60 days visa exempt. Im getting married to my thai boyfriend (the father) and doing the non o visa and the 1 year extension here in Thailand.

Does anyone here know what happends to my children? Can I somehow include them in my non o visa or they have to do visa runs?

Any help is appriciated ☺️

Just a head up for people with a Barclays Premier account in the UK.

Transfers are free from these accounts to a Thai Bank account.

Before you start

To complete an international payment you’ll need:

a PINsentry device

the IBAN or SWIFTBIC number of the bank you’re paying intoThey will

let you know how long the payment will take and if there are any charges before you confirm.

Today’s exchange rate is 42.93 GBP to the Baht

I know this doesn’t suit everyone but it’s for information purposes only

Also if you are trying to transfer 800k baht in from wise you can only do this in 50k baht increments so it’s a. Minimum of 16 transactions at approximately £8 for each one.

I’ll let everyone do the maths on this one

Absolutely not visa-related, this is and more: Am I being overly cautious when I brew my tea with filtered water? Normally Oolong tea which can take some heat so bring the water to approx 90C. Shouldn’t this kill all the buggers? Not to save money, I use a communal water-dispenser which gives 20 ltrs at 10 Baht. It’s to save my knees from the horror of toting the water. Tia

I normally get a non-immigrant 90-day visa from the embassy Will I still have to fill out the digital cards for the details as my visa will have that already ⁉️

Completely unrelated to visas or advice ;)
