Oddly some Embassies say attending a music festival is a valid reason for giving the Visa.

I am from UK and now have the DTV based on a 4 week booking of lessons only at a Muay Thai gym. Not actually sure how short that booking could be and still justify the Visa.

@Paul ********

the extension of stay section says you can stay for 180 days, extend for another 180 days and then depart and reenter again using the Visa.

Tony Murchison people arriving from UK on 3rd June still got stamped in for 30 days.

That is a UK government website not a Thai government website.

@Nick ***********

no. It's very antiBritish to think 44,460 irregular immigrants are taking over the UK

@XNatell *****************

people from UK arriving today were still being stamped in for 30 days.

That is a UK government website and it's Thai government staff that do the entry stamps.

44,460 was last year's uncontrolled migration. All other people enter the country with permission from the government and in line with government controls. That's controlled migration.

@Nick ***********

the UK Government figure for irregular Arrivals is 44, 460 last year. BBC not involved in running their website. Your number was made up by you.

@Nick ***********

you are making up numbers.

@Nick ***********

I gave 45,000 as the UK Government's figure for the number of irregular immigrants arriving by small boat which was 44,460 last year. Apologies, I rounded up to 45,000 when I should have rounded down to 44,000 which is closer.

Thanks for pointing out that error of 1,000 in rounding.

what logic can't you follow?

None of the numbers are mine.

Which number do you think is wrong? I'll tell you the source.
