This, as an example !!, not the same for all imm. offices I think, is the one I got from Korat imm.

Maybe a tip, despite living close to the imm. office, to register online for the TM30. In future, you can do it yourself and not have to go to imm. 🤷‍♂️

Okay, but he asks for a multi entry tourist visa. So I think original plan is 3x 60 days with border hops/bounces. When he does that right before the visa is void, he gets another 60 days. So you can get almost 9 months of stay with this visa. Most of the times without much problems at the border.

@William *****

Pfff anoying indeed. Just to know, should you enter on 30d visa exempt and y'r visa comes in when you are already here, it's possible to do a borderhop en return with the visa.

One time a problem that my money not came in as usual. Sent mail and they said that the "deemoney interface" was added and that they are more strict in the correct name of the account. 2 times they send my money back. After I changed the name of my bank account exactly as on my bank book, everything went fine again. Really do not understand problems. They also have a phone number. Always correct.

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.

@Jackie **********

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 🤷‍♂️

@Tod ********

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.

Maybe get a new touristvisa in Cambodia ?

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.
