Why was I given a 60-day stamp upon entry despite having an e-visa for 87 days?

Craig *********

that’s all changed apparently last week. Immigration came out with a stern statement and experts are saying it’s being enforced. I think also if you try for a 30 day extension on your second non exempt visit you’re going to get a 7 day extension only.

@Jean-marc *******

you would have been good with visa exempt if only visiting one time a year for 60 days (+30 days extension). You now have 60 days go in 5 days before and get a 30 day extension for 2000 baht and you’re good. The good thing about doing this with a Visa is if you decide to come back in the same year get another Evisa and come on back.

You got a 87 day visa for your own country Canada? Didn’t know you needed a visa for your own country. Canadians don’t need a visa to enter Thailand, visa exempt. Mind you if want come more then two times in a year then yes should get one.

mentioning him is a big issue and guaranteed to get her a rejection. She will need proof of funds for hotel, air travel and itinerary. If he is mentioned then will have to sponsor and that’s a whole different can of worms and opens him up to some high cost and she will have to apply under a spousal visa.

@William ********

don’t want you to waste money or time. Just enjoy her in Thailand. Spend that money doing something fun. I was successful only because my gf had a successful business and she did it ALL on her own. The requirements are pretty straight forward. You don’t have to say but can you give is a little detail about your gf!

As many have mentioned if she doesn’t have significant Thai assets, business(s) education and or professional career don’t even try. If she does and has no plan on staying then have her do it herself. If she mentions anything about you (boyfriend) then for sure you’re sunk.

Do expats needing to file a tax return in Thailand after staying over 180 days annually?

Craig *********

@Roberto ********

thank you. You are very correct and if that “remittance” is taxed depends on the individuals situation. Simply saying ATM withdrawals is taxable in Thailand is plain stupid.
