Dr. Burrito

Hi,

I did a search of the site to see if anything addressed this and couldn't seem to find anything. Anyone here know the relevant information of how many work permits you can process if you go BOI with your company. Just curious as we need to bring in about a hundred people or so if legallly possible.

I'm just doing a bit of research as I prepare a brief for th ecompany directors, then its lawyer and bureacrat time.

My guess is that after they say no this time, and that's abotu a 99.5% certainty, you will have to toss the passport and go in at some future point with a clean passport. They will mark the refusal fact in this one, so they will always know she was refused if she submits this one again. Sad part is, they might know anyway, as she will have also listed her Thai ID number. That might become part of some permanent record, but that's hard to say.

Outstanding that she was honest on her application, but they aren't going take that honesty as a factor I fear.

I think you're pretty much looking at the long list of reasons a person CANNOT get a visa, certainly not an Immigrant Visa to the U.S. Seems to be pretty clear that the possibility of a waiver is even less than winning the lottery too, but that's just my take.

Who voted for no piss up...come on,own up!

Hand raised!!

Seems we farang aren't the only ones occasinally suffering a lack of insight by the loca police.

If you have read about Takes Two Shots to Committ Suicide you've probably already had a good chuckle. If not, I recommend it. I'm linking it to my pals back in the states.

No doubt, it will crack them up.

If she's been in America a long time, been a solid citizen, paid taxes, etc..., you should never have a problem getting a tourist visa in the future, even if she loses her Green Card. She's already been through the ringer that is the system for Green Cards before. Can't imagine the BKK Embassy folks turning her down in the future on a tourist visa.

I've been in our Embassy many times, a couple of the with my wife. Not once has she ben treated with anything but respect. Might well be because she dresses respectfully, conducts herself respectfully and basically doesn't invite issues with the staff.

I suppose someone could always catch somebody there on a bad day and come away with a poor impression, but several times in a row???? Would be a surprise to me.

Try HomePro. Saw one there just yesterday.

Thanks for the information.

My wife, bless her soul, decided recently to change her last name to mine. Of course, that necessitated a pilgrimage home to the Amphur, et al.

Now she wants to get a new passport with her new last name. Why anyone would want to actually choose Burrito as a last name, I've no idea.

Anyway, she ahs a 10-year visa in her existing passport.

- Will the Thai authorities make her surrender her old passport?

- Will the U.S. Embassy painlessly transfer the visa to he new one or will there be some screwy reapply process.

Not trying to slag on the folks over there, I jsut realize there are rules they have to live by.

Anyone with any experience or knowledge in this by chance?

Also, if she is going to have paperwork form her employer, copies of payslips, as many as possible, from as far back as possible would be a good idea as well.

They are very nice at the Embassy, but they are government employees. The more paperwork you give them to back up your case, the better off you will be.

Good Luck

Friend called me from the hospital today and apparently, Mr. Bob Kevorkian has passed away from a heart attack.

Bob was a huge, in every sense of the word, figure in Bangkok and Thailand. Recently, he helped take his company, K-Tech public and was as busy as ever.

He supported many charities and was a great figure in Bangkok.

He will be sorely missed.

I submit 3,500 or more. Unfortunately, I will probably be a bit high. Sigh!

One thing though, if you do have all the proper bits in plce, company/job, etc..., its a fairly painless process. Bank came over to te office, sorted out everyhting and were exceptionally efficient. We used Siam Commercial and I couildn't be happier with the whole process

Well, they've cracked down on 'inappropriate' television content, or say they will. One of the dating shows has ben catching ###### as being on at the wrong time of day as it makes a bad impression for youngster, or I think that was the argument. Blood letting and such, full-speed ahead.

My wife's family doesn't call me. Thank God for that small favor!

I was on an episode of DS9 once and I still can't tell you what happened yesterday. Mind washing by Roddenberry's folks.

<You can't promote illegal behaviour, word it differently please. KK> then get a TEFL from Text 'n Talk. After that, open up ajarn.com jobs page, put on a nice shirt and tie then wisk yourself off to Englihs teacher heaven.

You'll probably have a job within a day, maybe less.

Never owned a car, per se, always pickups or SUV's. My favorite one is my ride to this day, a 1993 Ford Bronco, manual tanny and hubs. Assuming parts are always made, and it survives fuel conversions, doubt I will ever drive anything else.

A quick search of IMDB.COM does nothing to lift his credibility either

Come on over. You'll be fine unless you are prone to dying of jealousy from watching others do water sports like para-gliding. Unless you are in a cast, the water will be fine for wading and such and maybe the doc will ok you for light exercise in the water as well.

I lived through two months here in a wheelchair once, so a sling is nothing. My time being invalid was full of pleasent surprises from the locals too. When you are in need is when their better persona rises

That crap music they have when you're on hold or being transferred. How long have they been using that tune anyway?

Animal lovers, yikes. How many kids were abused or jerked over in this town last night and you're ready to go too war over a cat. Start a thread about a woman getting abused and there's the usual, íts awful, too bad, keep yuor nose out, etc...'and about two ounces of real anger. A cat gets popped and half of Sukhumvit has an opinion.

read a great write-up about the Fortuner in last Friday's Post. Seems they think it is a hard vehicle to beat
