If the blacklist is over, you can enter again. But you are likely to be under more scrutiny.

Best bet is to get a visa beforehand. Also make sure you can produce 20K baht in cash (or equivalent in other large currency), a ticket out of Thailand within the timeframe of the visa, and be able to show where you will stay.

Just don't turn up in speedo's and a wife beater.

Shorts can be polite enough.

It's the general look.

If you look like a beach bum, then go change.

Greg Alexander getting the year extension would remove this problem altogether. That's the point. Theres no law about the limit of the 60 day visit family extension. It is given on a case by case basis. And not all immigration offices give them at all. He should just be happy they let it slide by so easily for so long, but realize that now he has to do things differently, because the way he was doing it was clearly not to their satisfaction. Easy fix, get the yearly extension with a reentry permit. Single or multiple.

@Martynus *******

you've been doing that for a decade? I bet that's why. They want you to get the real year extension that the original 90 day non o is meant for. The 60 day visit family thing is more of a courtesy. It's not a guarantee. And it's not meant for continuous use. Get the year extension and a reentry permit next time.

Newfarang 57 yeah I got the picture now. Because your license expired back then, they for some unfathomable reason require to see your not just old expired passport, but the one before that even. 😂 Good luck man! I really mean that.

Best bet would be to go to a different DLT. You might be lucky and be greeted by someone with logic. And then don't mention your old expired drivers license. Just exchange (if you have a current one plus IDP from home) or take a new one. Lose the headache trying to get a copy of that old thing. (Honestly though! Now you know to keep the old passports etc, forever 😂)

Newfarang 57 right.. That's an edge case then 😂

Newfarang 57 that's very odd. Why are they interested in an old passport? Is it because you had a previous license on that passport number and now you need to renew your license but changed your passport?

Why is DLT asking to see a passport from 2012 that has clearly expired by now for a long time? That sounds pretty weird.

If you have used immigration for anything back then, then absolutely yes, it exists, a big stack of photocopies of your passport and other things. In a box somewhere in a huge warehouse/storage facility.

Getting them to go physically find 13-14 year old documents? Forget about it 😂.

It's highly unlikely they have anything but the passport data in the system in your file. So, they could probably provide a passport number etc if they felt inclined to.

Rafael Koehler I don't think you are talking about what you think you are talking about. The norm is a flow through water heater, mounted on the wall in the shower. It heats the water as the water flows through. It never has any water pressure inside it, because when it is off (meaning you shut off the water) there is nothing there to build pressure. It is open at both ends. An open intake and an open outlet. The intake side is managed by opening the valve on the (typically) wall mounted outlet. That's where the pressure ends when closing the water to the heater. The heater itself never experiences any kind of pressure build up. The water just flows through it.

So, what happens if you have too high water pressure?

It cannot heat the water.

That's it.

If you lower the flow, it has time to heat the water.
