Oh great now they will clamp down on this. One every two years I guess.

Correct but the way things are shifting may be wise to bring it.

Personally will not use third party agents for money. Transfer bank to bank. No issues.

@Greg ********

just tried that and quoted Baht 30,000!!

Get a new one. If you change plans good to go. Had mine in two weeks.

@Lynnette ******

there was a guy on one site claims he has visited every month for a year on visa exempt Others that have similar patterns as me also get in. So yes it is a lottery based on posts here, no consistency. Luck of the draw.

I come to relax, retired, no job here, no property, no business. Not involved in call centers or bit coins. I am resident in another country and do not stay in Thailand long enough to be a tax resident. I have on record of visa violations.

If they want to stop so called abuse knock it down to 14 days which is more like a "real" tourist. No extensions.

I tour the country as a tourist would. But now if not a tourist then I will not do tourist things and save money. That simple.

@John *********

i am wiser now.

Well I was also in Thailand Jan to May 2025. Came back in Dec and pulled. Have a Thai wife and told to get a "wife visa"

It appears to be a lottery.

I had 20,000 in cash and a ticket out which I think saved me and got a 60 day visa exempt.

@Maxim **********

I have a bank account and the 400,000.

@Alan *******

thank you for that. I will.probsbly seek the advice of a visa agent.
