    That's an absolute definite refusal.

    I haven't seen one report of anyone on an expired Non O and used the 60 day extension, manage to obtain a 1 year extension ..... without using an agent.

    Immigration are not treating the automatic extension granted by the amnesty as a 'valid' permission of stay.

     

    So, you have seen reports people were denied in this situation at CW?

     

    Not that it matters, but the wording in the amnesty seems to encourage people to get a one year extension.

    And there have been a few from CW.

     

    So, it would be pointless requesting a report from the forum unless indeed they knew the name of the officer they dealt with, as a different officer may act differently according to you.

     

    But just for you pertaining to CW.

    If you still have a valid Non O Visa, then they will process a 1 year extension application.

    IF your Non O Visa has expired, no they will not process a 1 year extension application.

     

    That line is being taken by a few IO's, although how the validity of the Non O Visa affects their decision making is beyond our logic.

    What were the few reports? Are you saying there have been a few reports of people with an expired non o ME having used their 60 day extension getting (or being denied) an extension?

    This is what's written (Dec 2018).

    Evidence of income of father, mother or husband who is an alien which shows that throughout a year, an average income is not less than 40,000 baht monthly.

    Only CW can give you a definitive answer to that question.

    As already stated the cabinet automatically extended your permission of stay from your Non O entry.

    Theoretically you should therefore be able to apply for an annual extension, but in practice the Immigration offices aren't following the cabinet announcement and setting their own requirements to qualify.

     

    You could also ring 1178 for an appraisal of your situation.

    You are liable to get three different answers if you ask three different people at cw. Who to ask anyway? The officers after having taken a number and waiting all day, or the screening officers?

     

    The reason this forum is here is for people to give reports. It is not feasible to go to cw every time someone has a question about a visa. I appreciate your answers but it seems this issue needs some more reports or perhaps its own thread.

    Bangkok has the craziest overpriced properties in Asia! The city is full of empty units and more being build to leave empty 

    Do units being empty have some sort of negative effect? Many neighborhoods worldwide where occupation rates are low, they are vacation homes. 

     

    Buying or not is an indicator. I do not believe living in it or not is an indicator of anything.

    Thailand needs to learn a lesson about how to treat people who are putting money into their economy.

     

    I believe there is a concerted effort by Thai immigration to create an atmosphere of uncertainty...fear...angst...unfriendly experience...to discourage some tourists and retirees...

     

    The real question remains...why?

     

     

     

    Now wait. I am always hearing Thais care only about money. But now you are upset at them because that is obviously not the case?

     

    I am wondering which is it? Are they fully consumed by the almighty dollar? Or are they an evil empire that wants to expel all retirees. People can't have it both ways.

    When a superpower tries to control the whole world people will stand up. Ultimately the superpower will lose.

    Everyone has seen all of this before too. Too many times. Always the same result. Destabilize the country, kill American soldiers and civilians of occupied country, extract profitable resources and produce the equipment needed for war. Shux i wonder who wins? Such a tough equation to figure out. The world is done with it no doubt. One country stands up like Iraq did and the dominos could very well topple.

  7. My theory is that Soleimani sacrificed himself. He knew the US would know his whereabouts. 

     

    Think of what it has accomplished already. US is out of Iraq. US could be held liable for an illegal assassination if it was an official diplomatic mission. Iranian people are now coming together to fight one common enemy. 

     

    It is the perfect tactical move if you are an Iranian. That is how stupid it was. 

     

    Whatever happened, this could be a turning point for downplaying the US involvement on the world stage.
