Hi all. I used to live in Bangkok and had a work permit. I left without cancelling it. That was 5.5 years ago. Currently living in NZ and would like to go on a holiday there next year. Will I get into trouble with the immigration?
Hello! Has anyone applied and was approved from Canada? Wondering if anyone knows if the 500 Thb ($19,559+ cad) needs to be shown over a certain period of time in your account or can you show them the current funds standing in your account as of day you applied. Thank you in advance!
I'm in Thailand on a 30 day visa exemption visit and want to make sure: Can I extend another 30 days at an immigration office as long as my passport expires more than 6 months from the Extention date? Or would I be denied if my passport expires less than 6 months from the ending date of my stay? (to clarify, my passport expires more than 6 months after the extension date but less than 6 months after the ending date if it's extended another 30 days)
Also is my exemption extended 30 days from the last day no matter when I extend it? Or is it only extended 30 days from the date I apply for the extension at the immigration office? (In which case I should go to the immigration on the last day of my exemption for the longest possible extension?)
Thank you very much for the help, it's difficult to get in touch with Thai immigration and get answers in English... I appreciate your knowledge.
After waiting 9 days for my Thai Sandbox Pass for Phuket, I got word back that my application had been denied because my "hotel does not confirm your booking on Thailand Pass within 72 hours". When I contacted the hotel, they said this was because of a new procedure, and when they tried to do whatever it is they were supposed to do, my application had already been denied. When I contacted the hotel again the next day, they reported that after checking again I was indeed on the approved list and couldn't understand why I had been denied and not given the Pass. I have yet to get a response from the authorities at tp.consular.go.th and it looks like I am out of time anyway. My flight is set to go on 5 Feb so no time to restart things. Anybody else encounter anything like this?
OK this probably been asked loads of times but I couldn't find anything. There has been rumours that they will extend the amnesty again. I personally don't believe it but if someone has any info regarding this I would be glad to hear it. I have 10 people currently on overstay because of the amnesty and they want to stay longer. Some because there home country is in lockdown and others because they just don't want to risk going home. The covid situation is safer here
