It is like the House of Lords having the right to vote for PM in the UK.

Are you trying to say Thais are not lazy....?

To stoke the dying embers of what has been very profitable, and given raison d'être to so many!

Apparently some are out of the country... perhaps Thai airways could stop giving them free flights.

So what I am being told is they want a Rolex or Omega to be up to an hour late?

I don't believe in making them responsible for people who knowingly tried to get into the country on false pretense. Nice of you to think of the poor criminals!

As is turning the AC on for a lot of condo dwellers.....

There's a surprise, guy can't make his mind up!

Needs to be soon.......

The nightmare scenario raises it's ugly head!

They boarded with a valid Via but get rejected at border control. Unfair to make airlines pay for that.

Do you expect a different result? Else it would be futile.

But quite happily share a jacuzzi...... all is well.

So keep the balcony door closed? They seem adept at opening screens.

Too likely to have been recycled was my reasoning.

I have thought so for many years... in my case I believed it to be the long queues at immigration standing outside etc. I hear that has recently changed for the better )in Pattaya) with a new building.. but the effort is still onerous! OP I have not heard of any changes and it sounds like some confusion.

@Red PhoenixMe too please, thanks in advance. About time I towed the line after 19 years nearly!

What and miss our on an argument!

If you say so....... yawn!

Semantics, is a used Visa still a Visa.....? Try entering the country on it.

Visas are not issued within Thailand (except VOA at the airport for some nationalities and Elite Visas) , what you talk of is converting a Tourist permission to a Non-Imm-O. A Used Visa stamp is put into your passport and a 90 day permission with it. The most common reason for this is retirement, to then go on to a 12 month retirement extension... It could also be used for marriage, and on to a marriage extension. The reasons are usually the propose of working, stay with Thai wife, study or retire in Thailand . There are many other Extension possibilities, but many require you are already on a Non-Imm-O Permission, Just interested as to which requirement you will fulfil.... years ago people had to leave Thailand and be issued the Non-Imm-O at a neighbouring country embassy/consulate.

Perhaps this weekend it will be, there is a hot weather forecast for Southern Europe.

That just seems to be a dislike of people who have plenty of money...... envy maybe?

My my, quite a major news story among the murders and politics!

The only 90 day Visa you can get in Thailand is by converting a tourist to a Non-Imm-O entry, usually based on retirement. What are you thinking of?
