Yes guys, let's improve the World and start in Thailand...........why don't we adjust to the Thai standards and culture instead of the other way around.
Why is it always the foreigner with the nose in the wind who has to tell the natives in their own country how things should be done.
"Chase the kids", "Punish the parents", "Kill the thugs", what a load of crap.
It's pretty common that kids work here.....and with work I do NOT mean: exploited!

Which one?

Light sea breeze!

If you extend your visa at CW up to a certain date, your are "allowed" to stay abroad for the length of the visa-validity.
The re-entry permit will cover that period.
So, if you extend with 90 days, you have to return before the 90 days are over or get a new ed-visa.

USD$ 75 is quite a lot to pay for this service.
saengsureeya - Out of interest where were you travelling from - ie what country were you in when you applied for this VOA?
Doesn't matter where you are traveling from. What matters is that your are eligible for a VOA.
I applied from Thailand and USD 75 is the total cost including the VOA which is regularly USD 50.
It saved me 2 trips to Bangkok and approx. 7 days without a passport.
There are more agencies offering this service and the fee is varying between USD 75 and USD 120

Whether the Thai have all some kind of hearing problem or they lack the social ability in recognizing and respecting their environment, they don't give a sh_i_t about noise.
Slamming with doors, loud music, loud talking..........

It's all in the family.

Used it 2 days ago and yesterday again.
Some matters need to be cleared (immigration, duty free shops and parking)
Immigration officers were in training, duty free shops weren't full in operational and the parking is a horror.......not enough spaces and big chance that you have to park "double"; not very nice for long term parking.

Went by own car yesterday (4-10-2012 at 8 p.m.); took me 3 hours to get to the exit of Bangkok at Bang Na.
-
All you really had to do was go to the immigration counter to get an exit stamp amd they would have noticed the over stay , asked you for the 20,000 and you would have gone on to your next destination just as if you were 2 days over.
Indeed, it was therefore that the lady at Immigration looked puzzled......."Why all that fuzz?"

I owe you a report on my findings with the VISA ON ARRIVAL procedures.
Got my letter and list from the Myanmar authorities through an agency: www.myanmarvisaonline.com
Procedures prior to my trip very clear and efficient.
Until my arrival in Yangon: no penny paid.
Armed with the letters, list, passport and 2 photo's I headed for Myanmar Immigration after leaving the flyer.
The VOA booth did have my paperwork ready waiting for me; I didn't need my paperwork and photo's on hand.
Within 10 minutes I could join the "regular" travelers in the short ques for immigration.
After passing immigration, there was the guy from the agency; I paid him USD 75 and he didn't leave before he was sure that I was safe and sound in a taxi. (one of his mates probably, but hey!)
If this service is consistent and they keep up this good work an absolute worthwhile experience.

There's different options.
1. Ask your former employer to keep the WP going, pay him possible cost (Income Tax & Social Security) and cancel the WP yourself as soon as your new employer files an application for a new one.
2. Ask your new employer to start an application for a new WP and as soon as you get the receipt from labor department, cancel the old WP and visit Immigration for a temporary extension (pending the new WP)
3. Get out of the country, get a new non-B and start from scratch.
Beware: Although the Immigration is no revenue-department, they might want to receive the por-dor 91 (income tax form) from your former employment.

Maybe it's good to tell us what kind of work you're doing without getting to much into detail and where the immigration office is located.
From my experience, they used to extend my stay pending the extension of my WP with 2 or 3 months.
I paid THB 1,900 for the one extension and as soon as the approval for the Immigration in Bangkok returned they extended my stay up to the full year......for free!

AFAIK you have to report every 90 days with a +- 7 days grace period.
As soon as you leave Thailand and re-enter, the day that you re-enter is day 1 from a new 90 day report-period.
If the OP leaves 6 days after his 90-day-report-due-date, there is no problem and if he returns on the 22-10-2012, then that will be day 1 of a new 90 day period. As a precaution, take the 90-day-report slip out of your passport and keep it somewhere seperate (e.g. wallet).
Some immigration offices claim that "their" 90-days procedures are "wholy".

interesting, but in no way an answer to the question

Id like to hear the 13yr olds story of how he got in there, after all im sure 99.9999999% of 13 yr olds wouldnt do this. Who or what is behind it?
Haha yep, sounds pretty much to some kind of set up to me.

those old guys with their pensions..
I didn't know the qualifications for a pedo was being old with a pension. Rather stupid statement if you ask me.
OK, those old American guys with their pensions in a cubicle in Avenue Shoppingmall in Pattaya with a 13yo boy.

IMHO, stay away from it, get someone doing it for you.
They'll probably replace the bottom-rail, replace the wheels for an amount that saves you a lot of headache.

I'm a renter myself and on several occasions I changed the locks. A spare set of keys went to the owner, because he has the right as an owner to gain access to his property. That was not something the owner demanded, but I think it's a fair thing to do.
I always try to pay the rent by bank-transfer; it saves me the hastle of getting cash from an ATM, waiting for the house-owner/agent to collect, etc. The owner gets a payment-notification by SMS and/or email.
Never a problem and always got my deposit back......usually leave the house in a better shape than when I moved in.
Tip for the house-owner: take care of a tight contract in which obligations for both tenant and landlord are described.

Thanks for explaining that to me!
wayned: You reporting since 15 years?? Uh, oh sounds like a dull procedure...
Cheers
Dull? No!
Annoying? Possibly.
Adventurous? Depends on the additional requirements of the local immigration.
As said in another post: I has to be done, whether it's dull, annoying or adventurous.

pad-napping.......a new phenomenon.
Well, with the latest govt-policy on "ipads" for the schoolkids, there will be a florishing market for 2nd hand "ipads" made by Huwaey (?)

If money isn't an issue, hire a P.I.
They do amazing things in Thailand.
My penny-thoughts: He's probably involved in an accident or any other event that cost his life without carrying any kind of ID.
Tracking: If he is in possession of a phone with GPS he may be tracked down; therefore you need to contact the phone-provider.
Renting An Office.. Do You Need Work Permit?
in General Topics
Posted
You ask 2 questions in one: Do you need a WP in order to rent an office? Answer: NO. Unless the landlord asks for it, but there is no law asking for a WP if you're going to rent some kind of space meant to work in.
Do you need a WP if you work IN Thailand for an Australian (or any other country) company? Answer: Yes.
My remark: If you do not need an office, don't rent one. It only attracts attention. Officially you do need a WP, but if you work from home, you don't advertise and you don't display any activity referring to labor, there won't be anyone bothered.
I know, this is an illegal advise, but the moderators know as much as any other person, that it is reality.
