Hi, I read the other posts and Covid Extensions is the way to go on a 30 Visa Entry... On this special extension, you will get 15 days for 1900 Bahts and then, just need to go back to Immigration to receive the additional 45 days extension at No charge. As mentioned in the other posts, keep up to date on the news for this Special Covid Extension as it may be discontinued at anytime. So be prepared with a plan B just in case. Hope this helps and safe travels. Cheers !

Usually best to talk with the Bank Mgr for this first time and mentioning that you plan to deposit a fair amount of money in the future won't hurt in your efforts. Should be an easy Yes. Best of luck and let us know how you make out.

That is a good option and once the Thai Pass is secured, one can just let the process take its course before investing any additional funds. Don't forget to Return Ticket and Bank requirement of minimum 20,000 Bahts = 600USD. In this New World Order environment, one must be a good boy scout and be ready. I successfully used this website for my Return Ticket : Best of Luck!

Yah I must admit to being a bit surprised one would let it slide this long, specially if there was a risk of falling Out of Status = Huge No no. One of the last things a traveller wants to mess with is His passport, so this is very serious and I totally agree with Micheal... You risk the chance of being deported and banned... And let's not forget the hefty fine that comes with it. Wish you the best, but I would get in this first thing Monday and get the Police in on it and make a case with photos and letters/ emails attempting to reach the agent, because you will need to present your case at one point and I suggest, you better have some evidence to back up your story or you will be jailed on the spot specially if you are over 20 days Overstay.

If you go by tradition, it use to be evaluated by her age, if she is still a virgin or not and the standard of living of the family, which back in the old days, use to take an active part in finding a partner. I would highly recommend both of you read the book <Thailand Fever> which is written both in Thai and English, so you both can be enlighten with what is important for each culture in these discussions... I highly recommend to read it and understand it fully BEFORE going any further in these highly sensitive and life changing discussions. Shoke dee na pee!

Only 1 of the many reason it is lovingly called Amazing Thailand ;o)

For everyone who might be thinking of delaying departure past mid- December, don't forget Christmas Blackout dates (Dec 15th - Jan 3) prices tend to go way up. Even though the industry is in shambles at the moment, I just checked and they are indeed following trend. Safe travels everyone !

That's good news indeed

Do NOT need an Onward Ticket for the Thai PAss application, but make sure your Insurance matches your intent and have your Onward Flight pre- booked BEFORE you depart. Heard Onwardticket.com is pretty good. Safe travels !
