What is the easiest visa option for Canadians to spend 5 to 6 months in Thailand?
Craig *******
FYI - Ottawa embassy is very slow processing TVs. Website says 20 business days, however if they have any questions or need more information it is 20 days AFTER they receive everything. So they will not look at your application until day 20 and if they ask for more info, it's 20 more days to process. So could take 2+ months.

Is it better to choose automated check-in or check in at the airport when flying EVA Air from London to Bangkok?
Craig *******
Crazy not to do online check-in. And Eva allows check-in 48 hours prior to departure - do it as soon as the window open and there's no way you won't be seated together (for free)

What documentation do I need to use US Social Security income to meet financial requirements for a Thai visa extension?
Craig *******
So this 65k does not have to come from a third party? In other words you can simply do a transfer from your home bank to a bank in Thailand. Is there anything to prevent you from recycling either some or all of the 65k over and over again?

Do I really need to provide a full 6-month bank statement for a Thai tourist visa application?
Craig *******
I sent in a screen shot of my internet home page with a balance 100x what they require and they rejected and insisted I send in 6 months of statements. It's infuriating, but what can you do?*

Is it possible to wait at the airport for 6 hours after my visa has expired until check-in opens?
Craig *******
I had an 8hr overstay and did not get an overstay stamp nor was I fined. But you could also do on-line check-in and avoid check-in queue altogether, then you could clear immigration just prior to expiry, then find a lounge to kill 6 hrs.

Why would they extend it? The intent was to boost tourism and I doubt there was any real impact. People who want to stay longer term have plenty of options, the 45 day VE was a nice convenience for them but I doubt it made a difference in tourism $$. Also they are on track to be fully recovered covid by 2024.

How far in advance should a Canadian apply for a 60-day tourist visa to Thailand?
Craig *******
@Mike *****
 well I wonder if they would accept just a proposed booking - like a screen shot of the flights just before you press "purchase". Or you could upload a doc that just says, "my intended flights are as follows". But don't if they would accept.
