What are the current 'Pre Check-in' requirements for Air Asia flights?

Craig *******

ya I had no checked luggage, but even if you do it's a good idea to check-in on line because the bag drop line is usually much quicker than full check-in. It also eliminates being questioned about POOT.

Craig *******

Do online check-in.....you then go straight to security when you arrive at the airport. I flew Bkk-Lpq recently and the check-in line was massive. I saved at least an hour by checking in online

Can I work remotely in Thailand on a retirement visa while living there with my wife?

Craig *******

Too many arm chair lawyers here arguing on technicalities. Plenty of stuff is technically illegal but if not enforced there's no issue. Prostitution is a great example. Remote work is fine.

What are the best apps or methods to get mock onward flight tickets for cheap?

Craig *******

yes they charge your card but the charge sits in pending for the 24 hour window to pass. When you cancel the flight the initial cc charge is withdrawn. There is no waiting for refund. It's by design (otherwise AC would have to pay the CC fee, this way they don't). Have done it.

All US airlines plus Air Canada have free cancellation within 24 hrs of booking. Book a flight, print itinerary, then cancel. Your CC won't even be charged so no waiting for refund.

Can I obtain a Retirement Visa in Thailand as a Canadian to stay for 5 months and avoid border bounces?

Craig *******

I'm in the exact same boat - 5 months in Thailand year and I've come to the conclusion that the retirement visa is much more hassle than TR with border bounce.
