Is Penang becoming stricter with issuing tourist visas, and what alternatives do you recommend?

Malcolm *******

Jim is opposite the Chulia Heritage hotel or just up from Chulia mansion hotel which is the same side of the road, I would recommend the Chulia mansion rather than Chulia Herritage. Monday Jim is always very busy so try and plan another day

@Selina ******

I was in the Ram, Chiangmai in 2014 they photographed me in the hospital bed and went to immigration with all proof that I had been admitted after an operation, but the Ram has a special department that deals with everything like that, had no problems and the doctor told he could keep me as long I liked, still had to pay the 1,900 baht

I did Penang two months ago just remember to take anything that might be needed, I had flight out of Thailand booked just in case, and rental agreement ( take copies as you don't get them back)

I used Jim on Chulia street, costs only £10 more but no hassle for yourself dropped my Documents on Tuesday morning, had them back by 2.30 wednesday

Does purchasing a condo in Thailand provide access to a long-term visa?

Malcolm *******

Like England who let anyone in and then give them money to stay, apply for your visa today or just turn up at the airport

Do I need to report my address in Thailand if I hold a Non-O multiple entry visa?

Yes just had a week in Vietnam and had to show my passport at immigration office, (or rather my landlord had to) in Chiangmai to see new stamp.

What are my options if my Tourist Visa in Thailand expires one day before my flight?

Malcolm *******

I did exactly the same, I was taken to another desk and I apologised and said it was my mistake and offered to pay the fine, but he said it's your first time so no fine no problem. Ps, no stamp either.

This was January 7th just gone
