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.

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.

What are the new prices for the Elite visa in Thailand and how do they compare to previous costs?

a town like Hua Hin for example. The amount of cash handed over between all bars, restaurants, massage, salons, markets would be a tidy sum!
