Has anyone used one of these from the Bristish embassy in Bangkok. Basically a friend of mine has had their passport stolen, their visa runs out next week and they have to do a visa run. But of course they don't have a passport OR proof of visa but they have a copy of the passport? They are off to the Embassy tonight/tomorrow or Monday due to the holidays this week.

Basically;

1) Can you do a visa run on a ETD in order to extend ones stay in Thailand?

2) I know they are valid for 5 Countries but for what length of time are they valid? I know it stated emergency travel but a visa run is an emergency as you have to leave the Country.

3) They want to continue their trip without having to wait for 6 weeks in Thailand for a new passport (probably more over the xmas period) is this possible?

Many Thanks,

Ok, well here is the deal. My term ends tomorrow. All I have heard from my boss is I will have a new contract however numerous reliable sources at School have asked me why I am leaving so basically I am pretty confident that contract is never going to appear. So what do I do? My work permit runs until December as well.

So is it the day they decide or my last day or the day I am informed that I have to leave/get an extension. I am 2 hours from immigration, 3 from a border. Basically I am being employed by MediaKids, they said its all agreed and the contract for next term will be with me next week. If it isn't and I am sat here waiting am I liable? My feeling is my boss is a coward and she is avoiding the issue. I also doubt they will contact immigration straight away, this is not Bangkok. If I leave the Country this weekend will immigration demand a letter from my School (this is the Nong Khai border crossing). Its a bit of a fuc_ker to be honest.

Any thoughts?

I take it staying hoping they don't cancel the visa is a bad idea? Thought so.

Ok, my one term contract with my School is coming to an end, in fact I should have finished 2 weeks ago but we extended to help the School out of a situation. I am pretty sure its not being extended after this term for next term however my visa is stamped until the 15th December. My 90 days reporting says the 13th December. Do I really have to leave a week after my contract finishes? Any advice appreciated.

Hey,

I have just moved to Sawang Daen Ding and want to rent a bike, just something to get around town. Does anyone know any places in the town where I can get one from or is it a case of going to Udon or Sakon instead to pick one up?

The town seems ok, if a touch quiet. I noticed in an older post that it once had a western ish bar but thats now closed?? Is this still the case?

Thanks in advance, any info appreciated.
