I decided to get a few extra $ converted in my account before it gets worse.

@Robert *****

you might want to check if you really still have that bank account. Many have been closed and frozen. Go thru this groups posts for examples of closures.

When you come back you get another 60day. Unless you are denied entry

My bank manager yesterday said they were just informed some customers may have to wait 6 to 8 weeks.

Immigration itself doesn’t ask for the onward travel as often as the airlines. Immigration officials in many countries use the airlines as de facto immigration agents. They can be fined by the various countries for allowing you to enter without an onward ticket. Most people never deal with this because they have purchased round trip tickets and the airline already knows about that travel so they don’t ask.

@Adam ******

that’s what you are supposed to do. Attend a course the entire time of your stay. Yes people have been booted out because they have not been attending.

@Massimo ******

1 reason is you can buy the baht inside the Revolut account at any sort of bounce up in exchange rate. Without having to run to the atm when you see the rate you are looking for.

I personally only use the Revolut card with Apple Pay. Since it pulls baht out of my account. When I make a purchase I know exactly what is being withdrawn without trying to figure out the conversion I am getting at time of purchase.

@Jorge *******

yes.

@Jorge *******

I use Revolut. It also allows purchasing Thai Baht inside your account. I can usually get about the best exchange rate using this method. Then withdraw from ATM or use Apple Pay or something similar. It will automatically use the Baht inside your account.

Another tip. Use ATM at the bank itself when it is open. If the machine eats your card you can then get them to open machine and return it.

Welcome to the regular guy world. Then you don’t meet the qualifications just like 99% of the rest of us. There are plenty of people with 100k in the bank. Middle class yahoos don’t deserve that visa.
