yeah big trouble do an extension if I’m required to from an IO, thanks for the tip, master 😂

@Greg **********

once again, i have asked multiple times to airport IO and immigration office IO about this case and they always told me it is absolutely fine. Personally i will follow the immigration recommendation!

@Greg **********

the visa price change depending the country you will apply from. In my case it is around 2500 thb

@Greg **********

i will try to explain since we are in a deep conversation 😂😂😂

Unfortunately i’m not millionaire and the total i will pay for 1 year is 4000 (re entry permit at the airport is more expensive than immigration office) x4 =16.000 + 4 visa applications 1900x4 =7,600 so 16.000+7600=23.600/year.

A simple extension of stay it’s 1.900.

So a potential saving of 21.700 thb.

However since my visit are short visit and mostly on weekends when immigration is closed the hassle to do an extension for me is not worth the 21k that i will save. If you put it in an economically way, yes you are right but for me since time is more important than money i prefer to spend more.

Of course if one day an IO will advise me to do an extension of stay i will go that way.

“Unless you exit and re enter Thailand more than 3 times during this 90 days period”

You already have the answer!

@Frank *********

doing what?Entering in a country with a proper visa?

@Greg **********

it was the IO itself who told me to apply for a visa instead of the visa exemption and same advice i had from my local immigration office. Never have been questioned since i use the proper way and choose the visa witch i am eligible for.

@Greg **********

stating that in any case the entry under a visa or a visa exemption is under the authority of the IO. read better before commenting. We are talking about Non O visa not METV neither tourist entry.

@John *********

i work in a nearby country after working 15 years in Thailand and i have family in Thailand. Initially i came back with visa exemption but after multiple times the IO suggest me to get a non O visa and is what i did since then to avoid problems.

@John *********

witch it what i just said and what applies to every case of visa or exemption…
