ThaiHome Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 TV is reporting new visa exempt rules are in effect that if entering from a neighboring country you will only get 15 days entry, not 30. Appears to be some changes in various yearly extensions, maybe the 400k in bank is back for marriage visa extension, at discretion of immigration official. Apparently a very long document and translations are under way. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks for the heads up ThaiHome, it looks as though they've scrapped the 90 day rule as well so it's a mixed blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thursday, 04 December 2008 30-days border runs now only 15 days In order to limit the amount of foreigners using "back-to-back" border runs, Thai Immigration has issued a new regulation regarding the 30 days tourist exemption. Effective immediately, travellers without visa will get only 15 days of stay if they are arriving via a land border checkpoint from a neighboring country. Discuss this news in our forum: Passengers arriving via an international airport will obtain a 30 days stay, and for them there is no change. Travellers with Malaysian passports will obtain a 30 days stay. This police order number 778/2551 is today confirmed by Royal Thai Police, Immigration Bureau, in Bangkok. -- thaivisa.com 2008-12-04 If I am reading it properly, it is for people crossing via land borders. Airports are considered differently, and 30 days still applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie - good to see that your California public school education is working fine. And too bad you made it out a few days early - you could have had a 9 day extended stay here.

WorldFun Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 yes heard for NON O extensions no income proof is needed just the money in the bank (400k if married to tw) which I guess may prove useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
