the stamp is not forged nowhere was that suggested kickbacks are paid through the agents to immigration staff to ignore certain criteria usually funds in Thailand - the point being made is that once inside a web of corruption it’s virtually impossible to escape - some folks are happy with that everyone to there own but we should deal in experience based facts

nope many friends in Phuket are trapped in the agent hamster wheel and they can’t get out - I can only speak for Phuket immig who love agents.

Farang driving license includes passport number and I have been using my DL for domestic travel for past 5 years - I understand airlines are now starting to revert to requesting passports for checkin for Domestic travel haven’t tried so can’t confirm this.

interesting - Phuket was fine for 3 years then late last year they went back to demanding it when you did visa renewal - maybe they just want to push up agent revenue 🤔

Your passport number is on your driving license and the immigration system that hotels use have standard screen input - so doesnt avoid TM30 updates - when i did my last visa renewal in Sept they flagged a stay I made hua Hin - and I had to update my address before they would proceed daft if you live here but TIT

Thanks for all the feedback he has now sorted a local ins policy

He only wants it for visa reasons he is happy to self insure it’s to see him through until he gets his O visa
