US Embassy in Bangkok issues 2nd USA passport for people who have a purpose such as wanting to travel a lot. U can send off one passport to get a visa while u use the 2nd passport to travel on. Pilots routinely hold 2 USA passports at the same time.

Is there any other entry requirements like insurance, proof of hotel, proof of funds, etc for a 30 day Visa Exempt from USA?. Like will immigration make him show proof of funds or his Covid vaccination card or show proof of hotel booking at immigration or does he just show up and get his passport stamped? Does he need some type of prior approval/pass or just show up w a valid passport?

@Stuart ********
when doing a 30 day visa exempt and then renewing it, does the renewal stamp “add” 30 more days to the original 30 day exempt or does it only add 30 days to the day the immigration stamps it. Meaning what happens if u get a renewal 4-5 days Before the 1st stamp expires???

@Brandon ***********
do you know if Covid insurance is required for visa exempt?

Is the Visa exemption renewable at the end of 45 days or do I need to make a border run?? I’ve been told the exemption isn’t renewable?

Most of the people coming across the border nowadays are non-Mexican. They are literally flying in from other countries mailing their passport to a friend in America and then just walking across illegal crossings. Worst case scenario they deport you at a court hearing 3 to 5 years later

 but hey if you wanna try it legally and get a person from Thailand to come over to see you your chances are slim to none.

Who said anything about doing it “properly”.

With absolutely no penalties for crossing over the border Why would anybody wanna do it properly nowadays? That’s why 160 thousand people cross our borders illegally every month. There’s no penalty whatsoever when you get caught.

it’s a legit answer I know 3 people who have personally just walked across the border. 

Play blended in with the illegals crossing got fingerprinted and they gave him a packet and sent them on a bus to northern Ohio. They are allowed to stay until their court date which probably won’t be for 3 to 5 years. They flew from Haiti to Mexico and walked right across the border into Texas. About the easiest thing I’ve ever seen.  The only downfall was paying $800 for a fucking wristband from the cartel. And the $800 total (about $260 each) allowed all three of them to cross
