Save yourself a trip and mail it in. Or try online first and see if they reject. They normally respond in hours. Many people including myself have successfully did first 90 day online. It doesn't hurt to try or but they accept mail in regardless. Just go to post office. You have options. I know in issan it's to do first 90 day online. Bangkok is different but they online first. The most that can happens is they don't accept it. There is a video from immigration and it does not state it's mandatory to report online. My wife showed me the video. More than willing to show proof of mine

lineman is king in Thailand but I prefer grab

@Daniel ******

when I was there they told me up to 120 hours. That's nice that they extended. China is such a beautiful country. I would like to see more. Thanks for the update on 240 hrs

@Daniel ******

I have done it many times, you get a transit visa up to 24 hours to 72. I usually fly from Bangkok to Chengdu or hong Kong. But at Bangkok airport they want confirmation of hotel if there is layover. They are very strict in china at immigration as well. They will call the hotel to verify at least in my experience . China does play around but they are very helpful with filling all the forms out. There is usually a direct window for transit visa. I my experience helps

I think for most is the deposited funds up front without no interest and not being able to touch it for months. For me it's easy, I just agency. Cost me less in the long run. I make 5 percent from navy federal. I just keep in CDs with large sums. It's a win win for me. And like you phillipines is great to visit but I spend more time in Thailand. But I have srrv so it really doesn't cost me anything for life time retirement. Any when I am tired of Asia I go to Italy. Have a beautiful beach home. I bought in the 80s when the dollar was 3 to 1 against the lira

@Gary *******

that's a good price for no hassle

@Jim *******

not like phillipines, you just go and pay with no hassle. I have houses in both countries. I much prefer visa in Philippines but I like infrastructure of Thailand. Military is a life time visa for 1500 dollars. Can't do that in Thailand. I am thinking about adding Vietnam to my list of places to live. Da nang is the next up coming place. It's beautiful there

@Paul ********

imagine that in Thailand

@Steve ******

phillipines is definitely easier, you can just keep paying for extensions for years and if your lucky enough to be American military the retirement visa srrv is reduced to little more than a thousand dollars versus to dollars.
