GFY Expats in Thailand, BEWARE!
 

Starting October 1st, if you are a national of the 41 Visa Exempt Countries, be aware that you will no longer be able to get more than 3 consecutive 30-Days Entry Stamp (90 days stay).

Once you have been staying in Thailand for 90 days on such stamps, you will not be able to re-enter thailand before 90 days or without a proper visa issued by an Embassy abroad.

oh shit, looks like some people are in trouble...

They will never take me alive.

wtf, can't you bribe few dudes and get some status there ? like permanent residence or whatever

Damn... I'm leaving tomorrow for Phuket.. wonder how that affects me, planning on staying 3+ months

haha, reminds me of a friend of mine that got arrested here in South Africa for being illegal but he never told them where he was from so they kept him for 6 months in a "detention camp" and let him go

they were dragging him from one embassy to another hoping that somehow they'll find out where he came from so they can send him back

That sucks

ladyboy hearts are breaking countrywide....

lol, their income will be cut in half

:1orglaugh

That's an interesting thought ...... double anal might be the katoey equivelant to a candlelight dinner.

It'd be better if you can apply for a Tourist Visa before coming here. It normally takes 1 day to process in Thai Embassies. A Tourist Visa is good for 60 days, and then you can apply for a 30 days extension at the immigration office here in Thailand.

So with a Tourist Visa, that gives you 60+30 Days.

Then, when you've been here for 90 days already (before it expires) you go to a nearby border and enter/exit the country and they will give you a 30 Day Visa Exempt Entry Stamp. (but you can only have an aggregated stay of 90 days per 6 months in your passport using the visa exempt entry stamps)

So, if you are coming here without a visa, you'll be able to stay for about 90 days (considering you'll be getting a stamp when you enter, and then doing 2 times a border-run). Then if you intend to stay longer, you'll need to go to a nearby consulate or embassy to get a Tourist Visa. You can go to Singapore, Penang, Kuala Lumpur (popular choices) to go get a Tourist Visa. Flights to these destination from Thailand are pretty cheap, around $100-150 for round-trip.

Thai ladyboys are my best money making niche; I hope none of the photographers who work for the sites I promote will have pbms because of this...

only poor expats will be affected... i dont want them here anyhow.

Thailand is one crazy place... I wouldn't mind going there one day.

Oh well. You'll all have to charge more for a tranny site membership since it'll be harder to get the content.

I didn't mentioned Cambodia neither Africa was in Asia... for me it was African ambassy which is much easier to get :-)

Yes, i heard that it would be much more difficult to stay there for a long time. :( I was planning to do that in 3 years.

it is, the map is old, they moved Cambodia to Africa in 2003, can't remember the
exact reasons, I think it was some sort of an exchange program

They were going to move it to south america, but the movers wanted too much money, so they settled on Africa.

WTF are you guys talking about? LOL

The put it in Morocco. Geeze.

I can confirm that it is.

You only stick 2 cocks in their ass if you love them.

What did they exchange it for ? :1orglaugh

Damn.. the ignorance of GFY shows up again...

Cambodia is on the coast of the Black Sea and hopes to be an EU country member in 2007.

Don't expect an education on GFY scotty - ignorant slobs :pimp
