Sorry: got it mixed up. meant: Description of the national driving license with a translation certified by the embassy.

AFAIK it has to be translated into Thai by an official translation service.

That translation then is what you bring and show to the DLT.

wait for announcement on tuesday

@Michael *******

it was 90 days per 180 days if i remember correct.

cummulative by single and double entry tourist visa and/or entry by visa exemption.

but maybe that changed at that time when they stopped the double entry tourist visa and created the multiple entry tourist visa.

It will be written on your tombstone: BUT HE KNEW THE LAW AND WAS RIGHT

Bobby Howard your knowledge is out of date.

A few years ago the thai government started to prevent the common occurrence of border bounces called "visaruns".

They reduced also the number of entries at land borders to two because of that.

They also started to check whether people had enough money with them as prescribed and denied entry of not.

Many people were stranded.

They reduced the stay over visa exemption by bilateral agreement(30 day stamps) to 90 days per half year.

They stopped issuing double entry visas.

They made a new multiple entry tourist visa with high requirements.

There is no interpretion between ministries as you pretend.

They have to follow the law and communicate the rules to the public properly.

The last word of course has the immigration officer at the border and not any immigration WITHIN Thailand as you say.

Visas are given outside Thailand and stay permits and extensions are inside.

I was talking about visa. Don't mix it up or change my topic.

I answered to the OP what the reason could have been to be refused to enter at the border.

And that could be because he stayed already 90 days on exemptions within the last 180 days.

You seem to believe that you must be the one who knows everything better and teach and correct all others to get your satisfaction.

In fact you assume a lot, are stubborn and argue with half and outdated knowledge.

I only live 16 years at Thailand and speak Thai. Makes me knowing nothing.

Go on love yourself. You are not worth any more answer or attention by me.

May you have the last word now to believe to have won.

Bobby Howard Actually, your confident answer is probably not correct.

That's always the problem at social media.

A view is simply displayed without in-depth knowledge.

I asked for more precise knowledge and not an opinion.

See this:

as far as i remember there was something like within 180 days you are only allowed to stay 90 days in Thailand for tourist purpose if you don't have a multiple entry tourist or non immigrant visa.

maybe you have been refused for that?

who has more precise knowledge about that?

also I believe to remember that the way to a work permit is to apply at a thai embassy for a non immigrant b visa (business visa) for 90 days and after arrival get the rest locally done. if you are hired already your employer will help you with that.
