@Lynnette ******

yes its just a change and some a shock for some people

@Andy ******

who did? I'm in 4 visa groups and see nothing about this bank only the dreaded Bangkok bank. There was reference to a implementation in April 2025 which meant the earliest it might happened could be probably July. But could be later.

@Andy ******

was posted today on the other group, sorry to trouble you

The thing is in Thailand in lots of cases systems are abused and its becomes a default standard. The authorities then realise the problems its causing and enforce the real spirit of the rules and it then catches people out that have come to rely on it. Hope you you enjoy it when you come here, as you do getting the right visa is key to a good stay.

@Mark *****

its not in the rules, the visa exempt was never meant to give extended stays in Thailand, they enforcing what they consider wrong. They want people coming for more than holidays for long stay or some thai family to get the correct visa. Understandable

@Brian *******

I just use my Thai DL

@Petrov *******

the document say visa is required, there is no 60 day visa. Its a visa exempt or allowed with no visa

@Petrov *******

many thanks for your sterling effort, the requirement is clear. My question was can you get a DL as a tourist because I thought to get the Residence Certificate you need along term visa (apparently you dont need it) this was because on a lawyers website in Bangkok they said you need the long term visa to get a certificate of residence. It looks like they were wrong. Ironically a few months ago I got my new DL my 4th one, when I went to immigration I gave them all the documents I thought they might which included my non o visa, I assumed they would need it.
