it takes five minutes to do a 90 day report and free. Crazy to read people leave and come back. It honestly makes no sense.

dude I just contacted everyone agent I could find in Chaing Mai and Pattaya and all rejected. So your information is outdated. I have a bank account was trying to help a friend. Watch the news on all the scams and human trafficking going on in Thailand. The Thai military is involved. They cracked down early last year however about 12 days ago on Monday they REALLY cracked down. Watch the news.

good to know. I have insurance through my former employer. Still they can suck sometimes. Last year in Thailand they have denied claims for medicine not being USFDA approved, or not getting pre-authorization for my medicine. Medicine is expensive so of course they originally found way to deny it. Or denying room charges because I got the “premier” room which they thought was a fancy room. They did pay after the hospital wrote them explaining the room premier is just a basic room. Hopefully this year will be easier dealing with them. 🤷‍♂️ cheers 🍻

Anonymous participant I understand. I was just giving my two cents why he thought you may have cheated the system why the extra questions. The agents are sending everyone to same embassy you used. Cheers 🍻

Average cost for doctor visit 30,000 baht every 8 weeks for me. So 195,000 a year. Hopefully insurance picks up most of it. 🤞

A lot of people are using agents and flying to Vietnam for the DTV. They don’t meet the requirements why they use an agent. It is a scam and frustrating to immigration officers. The officers asked who told you to go to Vietnam? You got a DTV on a Seminar? It does seem to raise red flags you used an agent and didn’t meet the requirements for the visa. My two cents. Cheers 🍻

I have lived in Thailand 3 years and never heard of anyone paying someone for an extension. It’s simple as heck. They will help you at immigration just go up there and say I want to do an extension.

make sure to research the other schools as well. I live next to Payap however with Chiang mai burning season for the 4th time I want to move far away.

Definitely pull up all the Thai universities that take the gi bill on the VA website. You have some options. Probably around 12 universities if I remember correctly. Look up the type of four year degrees they offer. I don’t know if they have a four year Thai degree but perhaps communication type degree. The school you pick will help you with getting your visa.

I am going to give it a try as I am currently in long term treatment at Bangkok hospital for diabetes. Will fly over to Vietnam with doctor letter and appointments probably in March.
