@Suhaan ********

, what is the name of your YouTube channel?

@Biff ******

Part and parcel of Living in the Kingdom, there are trade offs, good and bad. Some of the bad are quite frustrating at times.

@Paul ******

stayed 29 days across February to March, stayed 7 weeks across end of July to early September, then 4 weeks end of November into December last year, didn’t have an issue.

It is definitely at the sole discretion of the I.O you encounter at the arrivals hall wherever you enter, but as others have mentioned, the I.O’s can see when you are keeping tourist movements as opposed to those the try to abuse the visa exempt system.

@Giorgio *****

as stated in a previous REPLY, I sent the package as a gift to a friend, THEY had to pay the duty, not ME.

@Janelle ****

the recipient had to pay upon collection. I sent them to a friend that wanted the jumper as they could not buy it at a Harley dealership there.

Do you know anyone there to send your package to? Have them collect it and pay them the duty?

You are GONNA pay! I shipped a Harley jumper to a Thai friend, I put the value at what it cost, equal to 1000 Baht, when the person got the package 📦 the Customs 🛃 Service put 860 baht duty on it and would not release the package from the Post Office till duty was paid.

You may get VERY lucky as I had no issue from 2012 to 2019… but things have definitely changed.

If you want your clothing items badly, expect to pay Customs Import Tax even if they are YOUR own property. TIT.

If you plan to teach English in a school in Thailand then you need to obtain a work visa in that arena you need a relevant teaching degree; TEFL or some similar course won’t cut it. I would focus more on the DTV as it allows you more flexibility and a lot easier in your stated situation.

Best of luck.

WTAF does this have to do with the subject matter of the group???

Sounds like you want a pat on the back from randoms on social media! 😏😏😏😏

Needy much???

@Francois *******

simply put, if you have sold up your life and moved permanently to Thailand then YES, it has become YOUR country by choice and your attitude supporting trying to RORT the Visa System to the extent this person has is telling. Your opinion is just that, YOURS, you are entitled to it, doesn’t make it right.

The RIGHT thing is to abide by the rules that Thai Immigration sets and enforces.

@Francois *******

he wants HELP to keep abusing the visa system he has been abusing??? That is not what this group was intended for.

It is to assist people that want to obtain a visa for legitimate purposes, not RORT or circumvent the Thai visa and immigration laws.

This particular individual has openly admitted that they have been taking the piss and now they want to find a way round their situation they have brought upon themselves, that is the reason people here are expressing their disdain and contempt for such individuals.

We all are affected by such individuals GAMING the system and more than likely others who abuse the system or behave poorly when in the Kingdom is the reason that the 60 day Visa Exempt is looking like it is going to be repealed.
