What scams or misunderstandings can occur with visas, immigration and long-stay planning?

Visa and entry conditions depend on nationality and purpose and can change. Use Thai government or immigration information and avoid treating social-media advice as legal authority. Common problems include unclear fares, changed destinations, unofficial agents, card conversion, invented damage and deposits without receipts. Confirm the total price and service in writing, photograph rentals and use official channels for complaints or tourist assistance. Immigration note: Entry and extension rules depend on nationality and purpose and can change. Check current Thai government or immigration requirements before relying on an older answer.
