@Joe *****

sounds like good service! What was cost overall for agent?

Wise. Up to 2 million baht per transaction

@Hank ********

it amazes me each time !

if you have a visa for 15 years, obviously not much experience with border bounces. 60+30 and border bounce is a nationwide industry. Thousands do it every single day.

Qatar Business Class. You definitely don’t want to avoid it 🙂 unless you hate steak and shrimp and great champagne. 🍾 up to you

@Bob *********

ok - but there is absolutely no need. Visa exemption is perfectly fine. To the extent that Thailand even eliminated the former limit of 2 per year.

Its that simple really. If you want a visa, knock yourself out. But you don’t need one for a year of travel here. It may just be me, but as a traveller I don’t buy any visas I don’t require. But maybe it’s a big trend and people are posting selfies on Insta with visas they never needed taking up a passport page. 🤷‍♂️

It’s honestly a bit comical to have foreigners here insisting on visas and what they perceive to be the rules. While Thai’s clearly function well with the system they built

@Bob *********

they may be curious as to whether you have the funds or not… but in today’s world millions are long term travelling

@Nick ******

You can challenge it all you wish. But the visa you receive is perfectly legal and valid. And stamped directly in your passport by a Thai immigration officer. That is simply the fact of the matter. Fear and rumour need not own your life.
