Just got back in Bangkok! Got aproved yesterday enter today, not questions asked . Lots of people in the detention area and my officer took someone out of the line because apparently was recording in that area. Best of luck to everyone . Thanks again .

Has anyone done a visa run to Cambodia lately, just asking my first time, any problems, planning going in a few weeks , do you get another 60 days for Thailand on return, thanks

Hello from Switzerland. Thanks for admiting me in the group. For me the best is to ask for an O non immigrant visa for people over 50 years old by internet on the website. It is little bit more expensive than 60 days exemption and 1900 bahts for extension visa 30 days and you win lot's of time not waiting and making queue at the Immigration Office and have to pay for taxi go and back.

Not sure if this has previously been shared or communicated. Phuket immig has now removed the B3m insurance exemption/ waiver for the OA visa holders who arrived before Nov 2019. I wasnt able to verify this with an officer as I was unable to get past the gatekeepers they now employ, and I stopped bringing my insurance policy several years ago. They say it was gazzetted in sept last year surprised not to see anything in the media about it 🤔

I would like to stay in thailand 4. 5 or six months on a tourist day visa Do I first have to get a 90 day Visa in the United States?Would that be the first step

If you buy laptop from US online that ships to Thailand using FedEx, do you have to pay import duty?

It says no import duty on laptops but i want to hear about other people's experiences.

Regarding vis extension at Pattaya office: Will they take the application at 1pm?

I don't mind returning the next day for follow up..

Thanks

Wondering if someone could help, I’m trying to figure out what the covid 19 extension is actually classified as, what type of Non Immigrant visa it falls under? Or is it a completely separate thing?

I converted to covid visa from a Non ED a few months ago and now trying to register myself on the vaccine registry and there is no covid 19 option under current visa, just a bunch of Non Immigrant categories and ED etc.

Has anyone from the US successfully gotten the STV? I applied on Saturday and just received an email today that my application is disqualified:

"Your application is disqualified under the current rules and regulations. The entry to Thailand is permitted for particular persons in the exempted list. Please check the list of exempted persons at [[members only]/)"

Are tourists no longer allowed?

Friend just left through BKK this morning. Technical overstay by a few hours.

No fine, just script stating: "leniency less than 84(?)h".

Interesting background, we believe the PP was stamped incorrectly as they should have had a 30d exemption (and this is what they booked the return ticket as). They went to CW along with airline ticket, but was advised, don't worry (no new stamps).

BTW this is for information only, of you want to start a debate, go elsewhere. We all know that the IO you face on the day has final and ultimate say.
