Rayong immigration is a nightmare lately. 

Was told yesterday that some paperwork was missing and I had to come back Monday with missing documents. 

Also I had to get a new bank statement for the 400k as its only valid for 7 days. 

The letter is from Thursday ????

A lot will hinge on Winks contribution to that team.

 

How did you feel he did last night 3-2?

Did ok. Funnily enough what has always been a strong department for us now looks our weakest link

So upon my return on Monday I handed in my application and sat patiently. 

It was busy so had a long wait. My child was still feeling a little under the weather and wanted to walk around the office(just started) which was amusing to the other applicants. 

After 2 hrs I'm called to the counter. Paperwork checked and payed 1900 baht. 

Photo taken of Me on the desktop camera(same protocol as tourist visa extension) 

Sat down and called back 10 mins later. Visa approved and sent on my way. 

One positive thing is I wasn't charged overstay. So I wasn't charged any money and they didn't take any photos of my wife only me which begs the question <deleted> didn't they just give me the extension on Friday rather than make me come back for no reason?

Nothing illogical.

 

You apply for a visa, usually in your home country, to visit/stay with your wife who lives in Thailand. It would be madness to expect the wife to be with you to apply for the visa.

 

Once in the country you can apply to extend your stay, but they will only do that if you have a genuine marriage and live together. Insisting your wife is with you when you apply is part of demonstrating it’s a genuine marriage.

 

If you got a letter from a doctor to say your wife can’t attend they might process it without her, especially if it’s a renewal.

My wife went to the doctor that morning(sick the night before) and was back at home when i called. (2hrs away)

Official refused to speak to her. Even accepting to speak to her and explaining protocol would of been respectful and show some customer service skills.

Had you asked for details of what’s required we’d of told you, but it’s mentioned hundreds of times on this forum alone.

 

Whenever possible it is best to visit your local office before applying for any extension to find out exactly what’s required.

I looked on several websites andnothing was mentioned about my wife being present. Called 3 times didnt pick up the phone

She wasnt with me in Savanakhet to get the visa but needs to be to extend.

Classic Thai logic

That is a normal requirement. 

Go on Monday, pay, pay a fine of 1500 baht for 3 days of overstay and apply for the extension. If not on Monday it would be 5 days since immigration is closed on Tuesday for a holiday.

Perhaps try to get there again today with your wife. 

Not mentioned online or by any of the replies here.

So i go to extend with all the correct paperworkad they say i need my wife there for a photo.

I explain my wife and daughters are sick but he says she needs to come.

I said i dont think they can come Today and my visa runs out Today.

Have to Overstay then he replies????????????

You can get an extension for 60 days without needing to provide any financial information.

Thank you.

Stupid is as Stupid does. Must be running out of material.

How about going to nice quiet beach down the end of the island on Tuesday and see what its like.

Ironically probably lives in Pattaya?

I understand all the negative comments about Sterling, he seems to divide people's opinions, but come on, were the other forward players - Kane, Rashford, Vardy, Alli, Lingard, etc - any better or as good. No! But no criticism of them. Kane was a passenger in the last 2 games, when it mattered, against decent oposition, but seems to escape  criticism. 

Rasford and Vardy hardly played and Alli and Lingard both played in midfield and oh yes also scored.

Agree with your comments but its interesting  how people see Sterling's performances differently  

Agreed i thought he did well in one game but the glaring facts are that as a player in the last third he is offering virtually nothing.

Running into space a taking defenders with him is a basic requirement of a footballer and its a lesson learnt at a very young age.

No goals, no assists(not counting that 1 2 for Lingards goal).

Doesnt have enough control in tight spaces. Looked like a wide player playing up top.

We did ok but draw favoured us. Played 3 good teams and lost them all.

People are saying we are lacking in midfield but we aint pulling up trees upfront.

The only positive is that Southgate has gave us a indentity. No square pegs in round holes like other managers. The U21 and below are doing great. Hopefully players like Foden and Sancho and others will breakout next season and give us a bit more creativity.

Just thinking if we came 1st in the group we would of probably went out straight away and Belgium would be in the final

Good grief! That's a bit bleak. We won a penalty shoot out for the first time, won a quarter final against a bogey team, and Colombia were a ranked team even if they did go mad.  It's a young side. We're back on the world stage.

We won a penalty shoot out hence why i said we had belief. I know Sweden are a bogey team but this is a very poor Sweden team and Columbia had their best player missing.

Either way these are teams you need to be beating in group stages usually.

It really opened up for us this year and i dont think as many big teams will go out as early next time. 

It was enjoyable. We had a identity and some belief but came unstuck again.

In reality we may be getting carried away. Did we beat anyone that we shouldnt have?

We will see how good Southgate is when things arent going our way.

He has set up a positive side and deserves credit for that.

If we are drawing or even losing will he make the right changes and at the right time?

Emile Heskey...i think not

 

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/07/10/raheem-sterlings-largely-overlooked-work-england-will-scare/

That article seems a bit biased. The reason for him not passing to Kane after Sterling had been stopped when clean through was hilarious.

Bit harsh with the Heskey comment.?

 

True Heskey had 5 goals after 38 caps.

I don’t think you play Sterling to guarantee you goals. He’s never been a great goalscorer (never will be in my opinion) – he doesn’t look a natural in front to goal. He’s more of a winger who in recent seasons is learning to play inside upfront. He was a 1 in 5 games player for Liverpool and is a 1 in 3 games goalscorer for City – for England his record is terrible.

 

Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck – hands up who knew that – is a forward who can play out wide. At ManU he was a 1 in 4.5 games player and is a 1 in 5 games goalscorer for Arsenal which is poor – for England his record is good at 1 in 2.5.

 

Rashford is also a forward who can play out wide. At ManU he is a 1 in 4.5 games player which isn’t great – for England his record is poor.

 

With Sterling you get a player who’s busy, an irritant, rarely hides and helps the team a lot. Not sure you get that with Welbeck and Rashford and they don’t guarantee you that many more goals than Sterling.

 

Sterling is doing alright.

He is doing alright. Just think being busy isnt enough when your reaching semi final stage. Hopefully he gets 1 and that turns it around.

 Becoming the new Emile Heskey.

Marcus Rashford: Manchester United
Age: 20
Caps: 17 Goals: 2

Raheem Sterling: Manchester City
Age: 23
Caps: 37 Goals: 2

Danny Welbeck: Arsenal
Age: 27
Caps: 37 Goals: 15

why would anyone do that? sterling has terrified three opponents so far this world cup and pulled their midfields and defences about with his movement and direct running.

 

seriously, anyone who doesn't rate sterling or doesn't recognise what he does probably doesn't really understand football very well.

Lets be honest apart from the last game he hasnt been great. Losing the ball, losing possesion.

The fact is when you play that far up the pitch you need to be able to score. I know he has 20 plus goals for city but he should of scored 40.

For England he has been poor. We are judging a proffesional player on his movement and running. He isnt that much quicker than Rashford and even Wellbeck are almost as fast 0.2 and 0.4 mph less and have superior goal records at international level.

Id love him to prove me wrong and score the winner but as we go on the teams get better and chances fewer. We cant afford to play a forward who cant score or even assist.

Players who went out in group stages have better stats.

I would make loads of changes. We are both through so no point risking injuries.

Also its a chance to get other players involved and feel apart of the squad and give us options if a injury occurs.

 May even change the formation. As much as i didnt fancy Southgate as a player and and as a manager at Middlesborough he seems to of found his niche with the England job. Players look happy, playing high tempo and confident.

I know we have only played poor teams but the attitude and approach is refreshing.
