Colleen Thornton I've been told with the ED visa, you need a letter from your school, stating when your studies will end, and then you need to actually go to the immigration office, and give a date as to when it needs to be cancelled.

I didn't say you can murder someone, are you talking about that Thai celebrity, that died in a speedboat "accident" in Bangkok?? who knows what really happened, sometimes I've heard of victims families, settling out of court with the accused person, what exactly that means, I don't know.

Karl Fjeseth I live in Thailand, I understand how things work, everything is okay.... until one day it isn't, you used riding a motorcycle, as a for instance, no licence/drunk/ no helmet = no insurance, so liable for not only your own medical treatment, but any person who is injured in an accident, also damage to any vehicles or property, and possible police prosecution, and in Thailand you can't just leave the country, I've heard of police confiscating passports, it can get really serious, so I hope if anything like that happened to someone, your going to need a big fat wallet ฿฿฿฿฿ 🤷😂🤣😂😉

Karl Fjeseth I suggest you read the other comments in this post, as to reasons why it's not a good idea to only have it on your phone, if you have got the DTV visa, and intend to do extensions in-between border bounces, you will be printing at some point for immigration anyway, Thailand hasn't gone completely digital yet, they like paper, but anyway it's "up to you" as they like to say in Thailand 🤷😂

I think I was in shock seeing ฿34k, I was just doing a quick calculation 265 x13= ฿3445 and realised it's just an extra "0" I think I'm still

asleep 🤷😂🤣😂 it's the same in the UK, with the internet prices and receiving a poor connection (always buffering) it just shows you, our own countries are ripping us off with everything.

how can you guarantee someone will never run out of battery on there phone?? silly comment, when previously travelling to Thailand from the UK, It's 24 hours "door to door" my phone battery was always dead upon arriving in Thailand, so would need to remember to bring a power bank, or charging cable, every time you leave Thailand and return you need to produce your e-visa at the border, I did present my e-visa on my phone once, during a border bounce, and the immigration officer seemed to struggle scanning it, pinching the screen trying to enlarge the QR code to scan it, if in the future you want to extend at your local immigration office, you will a paper copy to complete the extension 😂🙏🇹🇭😎

True or AIS, it's usually around ฿300 per month, for a decent package.

People just print it, so they have got a hard copy, to pass to the immigration officer, together with their passport to easily scan it, also just in case they have any problems with their phone, such as flat battery.

I think it depends on the bank, I remember in the news a few months ago, Barclays bank announced they would be closing all accounts with a foreign address and phone number, go and chat with a few different banks and see where you stand, the best thing to do is keep a UK address, and a uk mobile number, registered on your account (check out 1p mobile, it's £40 for one year, and free to receive text messages in Thailand) that way I don't think they would ever close it, if you put a Thai address on it, and the bank changes it policy in the future, they could close your account, set up any regular "payees" before you leave, because any suspicious transactions in Thailand and they block your account, most expats just transfer any money from there UK bank into wise, and then into there Thai account, you can earn 4.49% interest on GBP in wise, if you turn in interest, there is a small account management fee.
