Bob *********

agree. 1 stop only. first time was from LA to BKK via hong Kong... never again lol!. next was from Philly to Boston, then Istanbul to bkk... both times less than $1500... and last time one way only with bus ticket to Cambodia if needed... works for me. good luck.

What should I do if I am facing a fine for overstaying my ED visa in Thailand?

Bob *********

I'm on a ED visa. My school, in Bangkok, is quite good at letting us know what, when, and how to do it... first was for 2 months, then extend each time for 3 months. they have a fast track for more baht. do not leave, pay the fine, and get with the school people to sort yourself out so it doesn't happen again. good luck 🤞

What should I do if my TM30 has an incorrect move-in date when applying for a spouse visa in Thailand?

Bob *********

when I went to immigration office for my first education visa and I gave them my tm-30 from agent they made me pay a 800 baht fine. I'm never been quite sure why, but I think it was because I did not have on that one month stay at hotel in Bangkok. that is the only reason I can think of why I was fined... just be prepared. All you can do

@Bart *************

I don't remember him saying in his posts that he wanted the non-o Visa. it's not pointless to come as you say. there are options once he gets here.
