@Oliver ********

I lost 40k on my first lease with a thai.

It could have been worse as I paid 2 month deposit but refused to pay the last months rent.

Lesson learned.

Do I need an Irish visa if I have a UK visa and want to bring my wife from Bangkok to Belfast via Dublin?

Barry *******

My guess would be that if she is not physically entering Dublin, ie going through passport control, then no visa should be needed as she is on transit and not entering the company. However I transit through JFK to work and have to physically enter the country. Grey area. Contact the appropriate authorities rather than take advice off FB.

Barry *******

a few days in Singapore will cost a hell of a lot more than Vietnam.

Not here to debate it. It was a suggestion to the OP.

What should I do if my 30-day visa is about to expire and I want to stay in Thailand longer?

Barry *******

the fine I believe is 500 baht a day when leaving but you could land in trouble if you are caught before hand.

Unlikely.

Pay for the extension and keep everything legit.
