Peter, this was so enlightening with that gentleman from that business. More of these presentations please. I'm sure there are tourists et al who have problems, small or large which problems can be utilised to educate want to be overstay tourists. My commendation to the representative of that business with clarity of procedures and problems some people face because of laxidazical attitude.

A Tourist Visa is a 60 day visa, while a Visa Exemption is (for most countries) a stamp in your passport that gives you 30 days. It's important to use the correct term when providing this (important) information.

Good video from the two Peter’s.. 😊.. it’s great to have a tough immigration system here for sure 💯 % , if only the uk 🇬🇧 adopted the same policy ! One day over & if caught / arrested / deported/ banned is a little bit harsh though in my opinion ..a few weeks over then yes maybe ..

You and me both!

My Thai embassy in Canada has just issued me a tourist visa for August. I was in thailand this past Jan Feb and March having been stamped twice this year already. ( 30 day entry stamp). You would think that my embassy has all my entry dates in their system already. Why would they issue me a visa if there was a chance I would be denied entry at immigration upon arrival ? I mean the embassy in your own country is the official screening point. Can't wait to see what happens. Sadly, it's becoming increasingly difficult to come to Thaïland these days. Might have to look at different country options in the near future. Thanks for sharing.

@thailegalprotection4390

3 ай бұрын

Embassy does not have access to that and we are talking about visa exemption. Also people who get a tourist visa are not guaranteed entry. We have many cases of people being refused entry with a 60 day tourist visa. The officer can decide on all entries whether you have a visa or entry on visa exemption.

Thai embassies in some countries offer 6 month multiple entry tourists visas with 60 days each stay. It costs 5 times a regular tourist visa valid for 60 days. What would be the point of issuing a multiple entry visa if you can only enter the country twice? Does having such a visa make entry easier than on visa exemption, especially if you come to Thailand 5-6 times a year?

Increasingly they demonstrate that they don’t want us here.

Thanks,guys... I will definitely become a client of Thai Legal Protection...

I was finally stopped by immigration after 2 years of spending about 5-6 months a year on visa exempt entries. They were pretty adamant about deporting me. I called my visa agent and she called her "contact" in the immigration police. A supervisor came to me and asked me a few questions about what i did for work and told me i need to apply for a tourist visa in advance and couldn't keep using visa exempt and staying for extended time periods. I was lucky they let me in thanks to my agent. A well connected visa agency is very much worth it even just for the relationships they have.

Not sure why they don't have a simple evisa system like India and most decent countries these days, it's too much screwing around going to agents just to get a few extra day extension to your visa.

The twice a year may be a guideline given to Thai immigration officers as in switch on if it’s the persons third time. What I can assure you of is a lot is at the officers discretion. Some will give you a harder time than others and that may even be down to have they’re having a 💩day.

Yeah I am also have to honest with these people that said they do this more than 2 occasions… I was also questioned numerous time at DMK airport and the officer said, “I know you are trying to get work permit, but you have entered into Thailand too many times… please make sure this time you get work permit visa and or ED visa if you like to stay in my country without any issues”. As comment above stating 11 times without problem is a troll or an idiot.

couldnt get a guy in a wheelchair a mua thai visa lol

The whole Visa system needs a shake down. Why not allow property owners a renewable non-working 3 year residence multi entry visa and charge about 500 quid for it? Allows us to spend our money here and not steal or take Thai jobs which they seem to be obsessed with this and we dont want anyway. Nothing will change until that does, Dubai/UAE is a great example of modern Visa system thinking whilst still protecting its nautral citizens and generating a lot GDP within the country

great video thanks for the tip. The problem for people under 50 is that the student visa doesnt really allow us to travel as they will eventually stop at rentry questioning why we travel and dont study. No many options to stay in thailand and travel apart from METV ( 6 months re entry visa for tourists). So with student visa we have to stay fully 1 year in thailand and cannot leave or visit families or go back home

Excellent VLOG Peter - just an idea, maybe you could have a tax accountant on your channel - not necessarily to talk about the change as of 1 Jan 2024 since there is so much unknown - but to talk about Tax Filing by retirees (retirees who need to file vs retirees who do not need to file, how to file, when to file, can filing be done online, is filing complex that needs a tax accountant to help or if easy, also if digital nomads, English teachers, etc. need to file). Many recent retirees or people planning to retire in Thailand might find this interesting,.
