400,000 baht in a bank in Thailand is not an option to get a visa extension.

He could buy Zimbabwe

I'm all fogged up with the replies to this thread.................... can someone give a definitive reply.....??? (Not being rude)

ummmmm forget the idea.

Ok... please come, spend all your money in 15 days and then go home...

getting a visa remains an option.

I believe its done at the Thai embassy in London just contact them to confirm this.

I just checked for you and they offer a passport service i hope this is of help.

Passport service

London take the ephotographs, but Bangkok produce the epassports.

Adminstrators/Mods, PLEASE, PLEASE fix the "Last 10 posts" in the "My Assistant" function. It's been almost 2 weeks now since it's been broken (showing only 1 word instead of a larger snippet of the post). Very frustrating to use as is!!!

As is shouting.

Just be yourself, a relationship isn't about your girlfreinds Mum, Dad or friends, it's about the two of you. If you have a strong enough bond then it doesn't matter.

Just need to get used to it. If your wife really loves you, you will be more important to her than the opinion of her family

You might want to study Thai culture a bit before making such statements.

That sounds like a good idea.

Hi there- I've tried to contact the mods / admins about getting my posts deleted from here . . . . please can someone point me in the right direction or help me out and do it?

thanks

You can email [email protected] but TV policy is generally not to accommodate members deletions without just cause.

Great forum ! I have scanned through the forums constantly and am still confused as to what visa i should apply for i have tried contacting the consulates in the UK but have had no replies,I wish to stay in Thailand for 1 year during my time i would like to be a monk for 3 months, Learn Thai, Do voluntary work and get married to a thai citizen, can i qualify for an O visa or is that only for people aged over 50 ? any help as to which visa is appropriate would be much appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Steve

With a formal letter from the Abbott of your proposed Temple, you might stand a chance.

What is possible maximum length of stay with a double entry tourist visa? 60+30, 60+30+14?

The extra 14 days might be over optimistic.

Big John's still around?

Not too bad last time I tried.

Thanks

Is that all that is needed? Last time i had all sorts of documents, copies of certificates etc.. Also last time, i didn't have a police clearance cert., but still got m visa+WP. Where do I get such a certificate from?

It would be prudent to carry documents. The police clearance certificate has been required for the last couple of years and needs to be obtained in your homeland.

Well i'm going for my Non Imm B for teaching next week and i was looking at the documents required on this website but it doesn't give you the specifics for teaching. Do you need copies of your qualifications etc? Do you need a medical certificate? Should they be signed by me? Is there a link anywhere to this information, cos i can't find it and the noisy kids playing counter strike next to me are putting me off.

Any help is appreciated..

Cheers

You'll need a letter of offer from the school ( on its letterhead ) together with a national police clearance certificate.

Hi,

Name is Ernest, been on here a few times as a guest, but never signed up till now. Live in Chumphae, left the uk about 4 years ago now, lived in Turkey 3 years then decided to live in Thailand after my wife (Thai) kept complaining that she can't find anything to eat (to her liking) in Turkey.

Ernest

Welcome to you Ernest. I agree with your wife ... that Turkish food is iffy.

To be safe you need a visa. A single entry tourist visa should be adequate.

For boarding your flight you should have either flight ticket out of Thailand within 30 days or a tourist visa.

Absolutely/

prapagorn, it is usually difficult to obtain help for somebody else unless one knows his exact situation and the status of his permission to stay. Could your friend perhaps register on ThaiVisa and then explain his problem himself?

Maestro

He'd have to do a lot better than prapagorn.

One can only wonder why he is so shy about getting a real visa. He seems to be the type of visitor that caused the tightening up of visa requirements.

I agree. Most of the Thai employers look at the country of birth rather than the nationality. I had a good Aussie mate, who held 4 PHd degrees and was born in KL, but had lived in Australia for over 40 years, well, he got treated like shit because he looked as Chinese as you can despite actually being Australian.

FOUR Ph.D's ???

I know, i know............. I thought the same until he showed them all and gave me lots of advice on what the best option for me to study would be. He only has one Bachelors degree (BBA), but he has 2 masters (MBA plus a Master of Arts). 1 PHD was from the Uni of Western Australia, 1 was from the uni of California, and my apologies, but the other 2 were only honoury PHD's (but he holds them to be of equal value). One from a European Uni and one from a Japanese Uni. He is in his mid 40's, but like I said, he looks Chinese and finds it hard to get work.

Believe what you want Dr. Pat Pong................ at least he PHd is not in ping-pong ball shooting or lap dancing

What is your PHd in DR.?

Political Science.

arai??????

There's a search function here or you can ask Mr Google.

sorry what is thai elite card??

He's hiding his head in shame.

As I have posted in another thread.......this is a 'real' burger!

Oh, that must be the heart attack burger. The waitress doubles as a CPR nurse technician.

Schools will ask for a National Police Clearance.
