Might be Hitler - but what's with the beard?

Yes, very funny! TTB refunded the money and gave me a new card. Just best to not enable a card for online purchase until you actually make the purchase and then disable it again.

Still available - just have to look in the usual places.

Yes, he did. Fahrenheit 451 - Good read and there's a movie too.

When logging onto the system you have to fill in your passport number and nationality. You will also see a field 'Date Visa Expire'. Click the magnifying glass and all required fields are filled in for you. At this stage, if your 'Date Visa Expire' has indeed expired update it. This change will be reflected in the TM47. This info applies to the desktop version of the Immigration app. I don't know if the mobile version is the same as I have never used it.

My extension runs until 20 July so I would not, at the moment, envisage any problem with the 90-day period extending beyond this date, not that this should be a problem with your application anyway. Maybe I'll have a problem with my next report as this is due on 12 June and this clearly does not allow 90 days before my permission expires. I recall one occasion where my report was rejected at the submission stage because I had just done an extension of stay and had not updated my TM47. I edited this online and all was then OK.

Online 90-day reporting at Jomtien is working normally today. Received the usual email notification when I booted my PC this morning. Submitted application at 07:00. Approved at 10:00.

Jomtien I had a 90-day report rejected just after getting an extension of stay because my TM47 was out of date - and I did get an error message that said exactly that. Updating the TM47 fixed that. This was a couple of years ago.

If he as just obtained a new extension of stay then he needs to update his TM47 to show the updated 'permission to stay' date. This can be done online when submitting the 90-day report. At least, that has been my experience.

if you look carefully you can see the strings.

If you are located on the Dark Side you might try <http://www.visakhaotalo.com/en/Home/Index> and talk to Thanita. I have used them for a few years with no problems.

As per the bank's response: 'Customers can also choose to enable or disable online usage functions through the ttb touch app by going to Settings >> Debit Card Management >> Set Spending Limits and Card Usage >> Authorization >> Select Disable Online Purchase Authorization.' Online purchase authorization should only be enabled when about to make an online purchase and should then be immediately disabled again. I had this exact problem with my TTB debit card, some time ago. Someone had managed to get hold of my card number and security code and had made an unauthorized purchase for 32 Baht. I still have no idea how this happened but TTB advise me whenever my account is accessed so I was able to immediately block the card. They issued me with a new card and refunded the 32 Baht. The new card is only enabled for online purchases when I actually use it for that purpose.

I have tried for many years to teach my Thai wife to read a simple map, with zero success. I said, 'pretend that you are a bird, looking down at the ground underneath you'. Simple concept but she just can't handle it. Back in my home country we were taught stuff like that in school. Doesn't happen here, apparently.

I can relate to the signature problem. I had some difficulty with TTB, a while ago, when getting a new pass book, because my signature had changed. In my case I have quite serious arthritis and I find it tricky to even hold a pen, let alone make reproducible signatures. Hilariously, they let me continue trying until I managed to get a match with the signature that they had on file that they were satisfied with. Somewhere on your pass book there will be an image of your signature that is only visible under UV light. A 'black light' pen will reveal it - and you can then practice until you can reproduce it satisfactorily.

Not to forget the 8 inch floppy, with a massive 80kB of storage.
