Can you be more specific please? Costs for what? Repairs? On a house I don’t own? Water, electricity and internet are in my Thai wife’s name. If she defaults does that make me liable?

@Frankie *******

The two land border entries per calendar year limit has been abolished. Air, land and sea port entries are, in theory, now unlimited. However, that hasn’t changed the fact that any and all entries are at the discretion of the immigration officer you face on the day!

Can confirm. 3 day turnaround and only $52 USD.

@Dennis ********

For what though?

Thank you. My phone won’t open it but I’ll try tomorrow on my laptop.

@Bucky *******

Absolute truth!

Went to our local land office with my Thai Mrs and the wife of our (her) house builder. The officer very clearly explained in excellent English that although my signature was required on the deeds it doesn’t in any way make the house mine. I was, apparently, signing in the capacity of ‘guarantor’. Didn’t know what that meant and still don’t!

I checked-in at the check-in desk at Lisbon Airport for a three leg flight. The agent told me I needed either a return/onward ticket or ‘some sort of visa’. However, she said if she’d been checking me in for another airline she wouldn’t be asking for this which, in her opinion, wasn’t fair. She issued with all three boarding passes. At Madrid when attempting to board for my second leg the boarding gate supervisor stopped me telling me she had cancelled my two remaining boarding passes. I now needed to give her sight of return/onward ticket or a visa. I was told I shouldn’t have been allowed to board at Lisbon.

@Ralph ******

No. Airline staff check boarding pass to passport at the departure gate. They know if you’ve checked-in at the check-in desk or if you checked-in online or at the airport kiosks.

@Ralph ******

Not at the airports I’ve flown from.
