OK then, tell us what you think "farang" means ????

Thanks but I was looking for actual experience rather than a Google search. Asking for a friend who has a low tolerance for dealing with the Thai runaround. He contacted Thai Visa Centre earlier in the year but they couldn't help him.

They're just trying to Move Forward by pricing foreigners out ????

Thailand wouldn't have any proper infrastructure if it wasn't for foreigners coming here and showing them the right way. Everything would topple over in a storm because they didn't mix the concrete properly ????

Do you have contact details of agents who are confirmed to provide handholding service for Samut Prakan office?

you're a bit late to the party mate, it's all done and dusted.

"Our culture is rich, diverse, and deserves to be treated with utmost respect." I'm supposed to respect this?

Your don't have 1 up / 1 down fibre optic? I'd die if I had to use DSL ????

A normal person would ask Siri ????

why, what's wrong with the information you've been given above, it answers your question?

How very quaint they are across the pond. The Nike logo isn't a "tick", it's a "swoosh".

@DrJack54has provided more detail about the funds seasoning issue at Jomtien.

There's a made-up rule called "Stay Thailand too much". Normally this gets invoked when you try to enter the country but at some land borders they see your history and decide you're not going to be allowed back Visa Exempt. So they deny you permission to exit because...well that part I haven't figured out yet. It could be too protect you as border bouncers may not have come prepared for a trip to Phnom Penh to get a tourist visa. Or it could be they just don't want to deal with the hassle of denying you re-entry when you bounce back from Cambodia.

Do you already have 800k in the bank for at least two months? Jomtien are insisting that the funds are seasoned for in-country non-O applications.

I think he went once and couldn't handle the realness of the place so fled to the dullness and safety of a one horse town where nothing bad ever happens because 'normal' Thais are angels ????

Pattaya. It's the real Thailand.

the school needs him back ASAP ????

Go to a nearby country and get a tourist visa or non-O and move on with your life, you can't fight City Hall as it were. Also from what I've read in the Health and Medicine forum, the local insurance policies aren't up to snuff and that the international ones are the go.

Some people prefer to purchase a Retail product key instead of a cheap eBay OEM key so @MJCM's link to InvadeIT was perfectly fine.

you need a Windoze Product Key to activate it.

Yeah they're the 7-Eleven of hospitals only not quite so reasonably priced ????

Plenty of people reports here saying that IO want TM30 printouts, it comes up quite regularly. You have to read ALL the posts and comments. We know that neither online option provides a receipt so in lieu of that it is advised to ask for a screenshot from the app or the website then print it out if necessary. If your tenants haven't been harassed by IO for a printout then bully for them however their experience is not universal.

It hasn't been implemented yet.

Lots of reports in here that some IOs insist on a printout of the TM30 registration.

Your mate came in Visa Exempt not VOA, they're not the same. Also the whole point of the OP it's that Parhum Thani office apparently won't do a CoR and neither will his embassy.
