New Thailand Tourist visa run rules
It looks like from next month you will have to be able to show a flight out of Thailand if you wish to apply for a Thai tourist visa in any of the local Asian countries, on the notices it states it has to be a flight ticket, yep, you nip off to Penang, Cambodia or Laos to get a new tourist visa to go back into Thailand you will have to show the Thai embassy or consulate your flight ticket out of Thailand, there are no other options listed, ie rail travel or bus or car, in the Thai embassy in Vientiane they are now not issueing multiple Non immigrant O visas for married to Thai national people, yep only a single entry so you have to go the work permit or yearly route if you don't want to piss around with visa runs, I would imagine that quite a few people will be giving up on bothering to stay in Thailand.

^ I thought most airlines only issue e-tickets now anyway? How's an embassy going to check if one of those is valid?

I suppose if they were organised and coordinated They could record the information and then check your passport next time you're in for a visa to see if you left the country according to the e-ticket information you gave them that time.

The thing I find strange, if you want to stay in Cambodia for a year you just pay 180 US dollars, Laos is probably pretty much the same, yet the Thais want the white monkeys to do tricks as well, and we do do those tricks to entertain them, makes me wonder who is the dumb **** and who is the one laughing, cos it sure aint us white monkeys laughing at the antics we have to perform to get something done or sorted out in Thailand.

DD, am I correct that you do not have to check in during that year like every 90 days in the Thailand? What are they worried about in Thailand? that we all may want citizenship so we can buy up the land and cash on on that 30 baht healthcare scheme they have??

They sell bus tickets out of the country at the visa run to Cambodia. Perhaps anything like this for flight tickets???

But in any case - it get's harder and harder if you are not 50 or not Thai to stay in this country. I am afraid this is a clear message for the future...even if you are 50.

^ It is my opinion that all they really want living here are people over 50 and prefer them to be over 70! The older guys do not cause trouble, they spend money on medical expenses, have a bunch of money to spend (ublike the young guys) and when they kick the bucket, their Thai wife gets the loot to help prop up the bogus economy this country has.

Just told the wife about this new rule and her comment That is the stupidest thing.....what a bunch of muppets" LOL - I guess she got that from me!!!

I think the mandatory health insurance is not so far away anymore. If you start to move to one of those special hospitals here it has to be sure that you can qualify in Baht terms for this service.

Thai immigration might be the most phucked up buracracy I've ever witnessed. I'm sure there are worse, but I've never seen one.

I had more trouible getting my Thai wife into AUstralia, than it was for me to get to Thailand. This, despite we were married for 7 yeras, had a daughter (dual passport holder), and I had a very good job. This was in 2004, in the end we gave up and returned to stay here (I have a residency Book).

Bought my 1 year O Visa in the UK. 200 dollars, 1 year multiple entry, no questions asked.

I'm 34, unofficially married. You just need to be able to afford the trip back to the UK to get it.

stolen from a Johnny on the spot ..........

I'm currently in Penang and at 5.41 PM a fax arrived to the visa agents, stating that from tomorrow Feb. 1, everyone applying for a touristvisa should have an ongoin airticket out of Thailand and the region, to their home country. STAY AWAY if you cant produce this!

So if you are going on holiday from the UK you can do one week in OZ and one week in Thailand but cannot do a week in Thailand and then a week in OZ.

I don't think it is to your home country. Just out of the region (ie. no cheap onward tickets to Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, or Cambodia).
