Re: Thailand Immigration: getting tough with guests (TM30 24 hour reporting)

A friend of mine has reported to the local police station in Kalasin several times in the last 12 months. They didn't like it, but they did whatever they needed to do, eventually. A senior officer had to be called, but it was definitely sorted each time. I have no reason to doubt what he says, in f...

Re: Thailand Immigration: getting tough with guests (TM30 24 hour reporting)

But is that not the point? They are asking for it now. They're asking for it in HH?

Re: Thailand Immigration: getting tough with guests (TM30 24 hour reporting)

No doubt your friend will be arrested by Hua Hin Immigration SWAT team and sentenced to 5 years in the slammer and a 10 year ban from entering Thailand again..... :naughty: On a more serious note...if we are talking about a short extension, that can be done at Bluport, I wouldn't care to report it.....

Just had a new tenant...moving from another province...doing it at Bluport.
Or more correctly, she reported her moving to Hua Hin....which form she used...no idea.

Re: Hua Hin Hospital sued for overcharging foreigners

An the hospital has already agreed to pay repay him (ordered by the court) the overcharged amount...So I don't understand what mister Erwin is going on about.....Maybe he wants gas money as well?

Re: Thailand Immigration: getting tough with guests (TM30 24 hour reporting)

So pls can you help here guys? We are a farang couple with a house in HH. We come twice a year for 2 or 3 weeks. We stay in a hotel in BKK on the first and last nights of each trip. So the hotel goes on the arrival card as our address in Thailand. What do we need to do reporting-wise when we come d...

Re: Thailand tourist slump continues

Tell that to the TAT. They state that the number of tourists is on the up and up with record numbers for 2019! Which actually could be true....The tourists are just not using Thai travel agents, which are the ones posting the strong decline...People of all nationalities tend to travel on their own ...

Re: Retirement Visa Extension and Transferwise

^^ My understanding is...that with 12 monthly transfers (65.000+) marked FTT in your pass book, there is no need for additional monthly or yearly bank letters... And just because we don't agree with your interpretation of the rules, don't make us bar room lawyers or make us guilty of scaremongering....
