my point was that bureaucracy sucks everywhere, and Thai visa application process is not that bad if you compare it to European countries you come from

@Tod ********
I do reporting for my whole family. Getting random rejections from time to time, no explanation given even when I show up at the immigration with passport(s). No correlation whatsoever with anything - got first time reports approved online multiple times, it’s just totally random here (Ko Samui)
Vitaly ********
Here on Ko Samui one only needs the passport. No copies needed, also don’t fill the form (tm47) they have laying around

@Paul ******
the poster literally says he already checked in online and doesn’t need to interact with them (no bag)
Vitaly ********
Yeah, that’s the rule, but an idiotic one (duplicates tm30 for one) and not strictly enforced. You would have zero problems here in Koh Samui, but Bangkok is more strict. However the realistic worst case scenario is 2000 baht fine

@Paul ******
if you enjoy spending time in lines…

@Paul ******
not necessarily. I’d go straight to the gate, if they want to see your visa they will call you up

@Jack *******
you replied “correct” to the message not even mentioning DTV. It was specifically about visa-exempt, and for that they might ask for a ticket

@Jack *******
it's not. Certain airlines (AirAsia included) sometimes ask for onward ticket unless you have a "proper" visa in your passport. The check-in process can turn into a major pain in the back - you'll have to buy a ticket to a third country on the spot or be denied boarding
