Bit off topic but last situation I know there are only 4 "countries" which do not give affidavit anymore. 4th, many time forgotten is (strange) Denmark.
Point is that the current extension (with eg 800k on the bank) is given on forehand. So 'the 800k rules' so to say, are valid for the current extension. There are even Imm. offices they check the '3 months 800k' at y'r next 90 days notification. And Jomtien has some own/own interpretations on some things. But......maybe it works out next year 🤷♂️
Umm Tod. If he really uses the onward ticket to e.g. fly to Laos and come back to Thailand same day or one day later, can he get a new VOA ? Sorry, just for my knowledge.
Well, I use it e.g. for check in in a hotel without passport. But a bit more advantage for the yellow house book which you then have for sure. E.g. getting things (car, moped, internet) on your name. The biggest advantage I had was one and a half year ago, when I needed to stay 12 days in a university hospital for Covid. 2 people in the same room had to pay 4,500฿ a day (but where insured as a Tourist) and I had to pay nothing. So saved me 54,000฿. Really need it ? No, but sometimes nice to have.
Not sure if you mean physically or digital ? For digital,
If you have a bank in your home country and have an app from your Thai bank account, you can easy do it in parts with your Thai bank app. The costs will be a bit higher but 'hey', think you need it only one time I guess.
