I’ve not been given any information about a special closure date for the 24th, but I wish you good luck and a premature birthday wish.

Insurance is a requirement for a Non OA entry.

On a Non OA you will stamped in for 365 days on each entry or up until your insurance is valid until. If you enter just before the visa expires and have the relevant insurance you’ll still get the full year. This “second” year is not multiple entry. If you want to keep the stamp “alive” you’d need to get a re-entry permit (single or multiple).

No one knows how many exempt entries you’ll get away with as it’s up to the individual immigration officer you hand your passport to. Perhaps two maybe eight who knows.

60 days by land, sea or air for exempt entries. No idea on the SE Asia visa.

Tax not implemented yet.

No. You carry both passports for the validity of the visa.

Only going by current posts on FB and YouTube. If on an ED visa you can forget about trying for an account. Even the agents can’t do it. Changed a few weeks ago. I have no direct experience so perhaps it may work for you.

@Rene *******

I couldn’t say that that’s the maximum. It’s just that above that amount a direct SWIFT transfer from bank to bank may be cheaper.

@Rene *******

The OP didn’t mention tax liability. They asked the cheapest way to transfer.

I’ve thought. Thanks. The answer is much clearer now.
