I wonder who set the limit to 50 years and why one can not retire as early as he wants?

Is it time to Invest in Ban Chang?

I would not say so

so diesel will now quietly cross the psychological barrier of 30 baht per liter and we can expect further increases

Well, I am pretty sure the school knows this better than anyone else, they have thousands of students and never had a single problem. Also, I am doing extensions every 3 months for 2 years now so I suppose they would notice this in case it was a problem.

Well, I am on student visa for over 2 years and have never done address reporting. I even asked about it at the school and they says no address reporting is to be done since I extend every 90 days which makes sense (since the address is reported during the 90-day extension). It would be a duplicate task.

There is no address reporting on ED visa in case you do the standard 90 days extensions

a dream come true for shareholders

...and since my country is over 8,000 km far from Thailand and the ticket costs a few monthly salaries of the immigration officer, who would go just for 2 or 3 days?

I would say my grandfather just died so I had to fly back. What is the issue with taking holidays abroad, this is not daily University study, just a relaxing 4 hours per week Thai language course.

"That means that after 1 year you have to leave the country and maybe apply for a new ED-visa."

Maybe? So is this a new rule, or just some maybe? Please clarify.

I would say this is not going to work and most of it is just rumours.

and safer, too :)

And what about human rights of foreigners living in Thailand having not equal rights with Thais living abroad?

if you really need to prevent anyone getting inside (detected or undetected), you need to use a metal safety box instead of a suitcase

if you lock the zipping mechanism to one place on the bag, one can not move it to reseal the bag and problem is solved, too

That only solves the detection problem, it wont stop people getting into it.

well, but in such case they can directly cut the bag open with a knife so the real issue is to stay undetected (no one working at the airport/hotel will risk opening your bag this way since he/she would be the top suspect)

A bird flying 10 km high in low oxygen environment and -50 degrees Celsius? I thought the only time a bird can strike a plane is take off and landing.

 

 

Well, as for me, I really doubt one could be denied entry having a valid ED visa, paid language course + paid reentry permit, no matter how good student he/she was. Also, even if his/her visa would be canceled, he/she should still get the 30 days visa exempt entry.

 

 

 

 

 

Entry to the country is always at the ultimate discretion of the immigration office at the point of entry.

 

Having a visa or otherwise is no guarantee of entry

 

he wpould have to have some real reasons to refuse the entry, especially if the immigration has previously granted a reentry permit so his decision would go directly against the inland immigration issuing the reentry permit

I did not mean adopting some unknown child just for the sake of resolving the visa situation (it seems I should have written the topic a little clearer). But as we all know, the usual situation is an older farang with quite younger thai GF with a Thai child so this is a pretty model situation when child based visa is a much safer (actually 100% safe for quite a long time, usually enough to reach the retirement age).

What is cynical about adopting a child of the girlfriend/wife who has nothing to lose anyway? Many support them financially anyway so what is so bad about having some positive outcome for the donor, too? And if the child is very young, you have a secured visa situation for almost 20 years (which is often not so secure based on the marriage itself)

Also, since the OP did not bother to reply, I consider this topic scaremongering. Have your papers ready + show the necessary funds, and I doubt one would have any problems.
