Got this email today from ThaiVisaService.....
Dear friends and customer of SWD,
After the recent sad news about the bombing and the fall out we are
cautious optimistic that things will get back to normal soon. Now the
border check points with Thailand and Cambodia including Ban Laem,
already stamp people out/in with valid visa, hopefully Thai
Immigration will allow regular out/in for 15/30 days soon again. We
assure you that we continue to operate as normal as possible. We will
keep you posted and please visit www.thaivisaservice.com for updates.
Thank you for your support
1. Our daily visa run to Ban Laem start 5am from the regular
place, Tesco Lotus ON NUT, parking lot next to KFC. Please have ready
Passport, 1 picture (any size) and the fee, ASEAN THB750.- and
Westerners THB2,300.-.
2. We continue, twice a week, with our visa application trip to
Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane/Laos, this will allow you to apply for
Single Entry or Double Entry Thai Tourist Visa and/or Single Entry Non
Immigrant Visa. Meeting is Sunday and Wednesday evening at 19:00 at
the corner of Tesco Lotus ON NUT parking lot, beneath the huge Tesco
Signboard and next to the street sign Sukhumvit Soi 50.
3. Student Visa: if you are interested in learning Thai and wish
to stay for a one year course, please contact us, please note it is
not possible to obtain a straight year extension anymore, you have to
go to Immigration every three month and be able to prove that you make
progress.
4. Non Immigrant O, and extension of stay based on retirement: we
continue to offer our service for the persons over 50 years of age in
obtaining the initial Non O while in Thailand. First timers have to
apply in person at Thai Immigration in Chaeng Watana, but our staff
will assist you there and prepare forms, etc. For the yearly
extensions we continue our pick up service from your house. Fees
remain unchanged, fees are reasonable and affordable. Enjoy your
retirement in Thailand. Contact us for quotation. We still arrange
the 90days reporting free of charge for our customer.
5. Air Ticket Booking: our new service is ready now, please send
us your planned itinerary and we will send you a competitive offer, we
work with a reliable agency in Nong Khai. We use them for our own
travels and we found them to be cheaper than others. Give it a try.
Please drop us a line about your concerns and we try to assist in
advising of what would be best.
You can also give me a call under 081-8154803.
In general the outlook is positive, for example the Thai Embassy in
Vientiane/Lao is still issueing, up to 3 Double Entry Tourist Visas.
Furthermore it has also been announced that starting 13th November
2015 the Thai Embassies and Thai Consulates will issue Six Month
Multiple Entry Tourist Visas in order to encourage Tourism. In the
next few days we will see if the current stop of OUT/IN for 15/30days
will remain or if Thai Immigration will accept short term tourism
again.
