It can be what ever, read so many times now that immigration tells you to get a visa if travel often.

So if you plan doing 4 times instead of the 2 that they allow then go 2 first times on exemption rule and then the 3-4 time you apply for a tourist visa for an example.

You “enter” with the correct passport for the country, in this case her Thai passport. At airport you can follow her to the immigration point at Thai side even if you got US passport. She be using Thai passport and travel as family.

Running one “room” AC around in a house has costed around 3.500, water not been much, maybe 2-500.

Now I got big house with several washers so it been more late years.

Holliday visa 🤣?

Your on a exemption rule 60 days, yes?

You go visit immigration.

Actually you can be stopped at checkin from beginning with no return ticket within those 60 days. If you get stopped at immigration then it is airline company that is in fault and they have to send you home for free.

In that case they allow you or not is the solution to get a throwaway ticket within the 60 days to solve it.

If you now come in without problem then please do not do the overstay but go to immigration (1 week before) and extend it.

Colin Boyland hmm, like I wrote if it’s needed to exit and re-enter. I wrote it as 2 options, still immigration personnel is same, in an office or at airport not matter. And fact is that not all immigration offices do follow same rules. If it is exit only then so be it,

I live in Thailand and my family is part Chinese, we celebrate it, not our company since it’s not a public holiday. That doesn’t mean workers in other countries that has Chinese ancestors take a vacation during this time does it?

I’m go far out not now in a way that maybe even you can relate to… one worker get a flue, and the next and suddenly 5 people are sick, leaves 3 workers doing 8 people’s job… got it? Would this be in some way a possibility?

Yeah I know, it always happens when people need to work but their friends are free… the common cold 😂

Corrected in what way and what post?

(I will follow the trace and look) maybe missed something)

Getting my information 😆 I get my information from same place as everyone else…

You seam to be very short in give information but it took me 30 seconds to google an answer…

Suggest you ask them if not they can provide any you actually asking for.

If it would be you don’t get your visa, so yes you can travel into Thailand without visa, you go under “visa exemption rule” and permitted to stay 60 days free. Do the TDAC (digital arrival card, it’s free).

After your visa is approved you need to visit any immigration to have it stamped in. If local immigration can do that for you or you actually need to travel outside is up to immigration office. Immigration office or immigration at airport is same people.

Send the embassy an email first and ask. Seen other post from other countries that they also worried about not knowing, doubt it some offices only. Could be the Chinese new year celebrations that cause the delay.

Well usually not take long time but depends on how much work they got.

Suggest you send them an email and ask about yours.

Well as many say when they want to move, where to live?

So first step is to find a place, if not sure then travel around to different places and don’t buy anything until you absolutely sure.

In end, rent or buy is the question.

Second is to live full time or divide the year between home and Thailand.

Don’t worry about visa or use agents for do something you actually need to know your self.

Yes do it smoothly from beginning and use agent to understand the culture with immigration and the paperwork.

After that it’s easy, took me 4 months to decide, and soon to be 12 years.
