What was the experience of applying for a 60 Day Tourist Visa at the Thai Embassy in Ottawa, Canada?

Craig *******

Yup mine took 4 weeks and didn't get it on time, had to go exempt. Used to be 48 hr turnaround. So much for e-visa.

How difficult is the process for my Thai wife to obtain a Canadian visa?

Craig *******

My Thai GF got CDN tourist visa. Wasn't easy though, took two tries. I was pissed at the first rejection and wrote a scathing letter to my MP. To his credit he wrote a reference letter which may have helped. Absolute joke though when you consider how open our borders are.

What are people's experiences with AXA insurance in Thailand?

Craig *******

no you would simply be refunded what was charged to your CC. I don't think the OP is talking about a claim, he is complaining that he hasn't received policy paperwork (I think)

I would just go the chargeback route with CC company. You paid for a service that you didn't receive, easy claim.

Will I receive a 45-day exemption if I land just before midnight in Bangkok?

Craig *******

when I went through he literally took 30 seconds to rotate the dials on all his stamps before asking for my passport. My visa didn't get processed in time and my stay was one day too long for entering exempt. By letting one guy go ahead of me I shortened my stay by a day and avoided the over-stay issue.

It's not the time you land, it's the time you pass immigration. I had the opposite situation....was second in line at 11:55, so let the person behind me go ahead. Got stamped at 12:01.

What are the requirements regarding onward travel tickets when entering Thailand?

Craig *******

that was my point, POOT is an airline policy, not Thai immigration, and that's what the embassy told me. So best thing is to confirm with the airline you are flying as to what they require for you to board flight

How can I best utilize a retiree visa for long stays in Thailand?

Craig *******

I visit my gf about 4.5 to 6 months total each year (2 trips) and I've concluded there's really no advantage getting anything other than TR/visa exemptions and extensions.
