Is Snow"Balling" allowed? ????

Marry the partner, adopt the child, divorce the partner. There's a BIG difference in becoming a legal guardian and just having a Thai change their birth name. First names are a snap and are done regularly in Thailand but a "Family" name opens a whole LOT of legal issues. Birthrights, Military Lottery, Thai Citizenship Rights, etc. My father did it with his ex and my newest, youngest 'brother' but he was married, obtained visas to the states for them both, got her citizenship and THEN adopted him with a name change (First AND Last). Question is, to do it now, what are YOU willing to do?

I've always kept a separate account with 400k+ and bump it by 1k the day I apply for the BB update. For the OP, 2 months for certain and 3 to be safe.

What a unique idea. ????

Why not just fly to HCMC and apply for the retirement visa? About the same price as all the visa run groups but no long rides. Keep in mind the 800k in the bank requirement unless you can prove 65k a month in income.

Just get all your docs in order and go 30 days before your current stay expires (Feb 27?). That should give you 45-ish days before your flight out. IF you need to leave before they stamp your approved extension AND you don't need to physically hold your passport, you COULD over-night it to your wife and she can collect your new stamp and over-night it back to you. Just a thought.

To obtain any visa from an embassy or consulate you must present a reason - when the reason becomes invalid, so does the visa (students that don't study, retirees that work, married persons whom are no longer married, tourists that get a job). I would bet dollars to donuts that if his ex took the divorce papers down to the local IO they would soon pay him a visit.

Technically valid but no longer legal and can put the OP in a world of hurt if discovered by an anonymous (ex) tip.

Depending on how much space you need, have a look at Regent Home 27/28. Has MRT (Bang Son) at the entrance, bus stop across the street and at the entrance, daily street market 2 - 3 blocks down. Rent is 7-9k and some for sale at around 1.2m. ETA: Courtesy shuttles from the street back in the the 2 complexes (being set back reduces traffic noise)

You have 2 months to marry her sister. Better get cracking.

The construction company is owned by a minister perhaps? ????

thought arrival/departure cards were done away with. Didn't get 1 when I flew in in Aug. 2022.

Don't know how close you are to "Swampy" (the airport) but you might take a ride out there, go to the Emerites desk and ask for a supervisor. Take copies of everything from the beginning and see what they say. Could be she/he'll just cancel it in the computer right then and there. Heck, you might even end up with a voucher towards your next flight. ???? Had a similar experience with United being operated by JAL, went to the JAL desk and got an upgrade with lounge access and a free hotel with food vouchers from United. ???? Sometimes the employees are on your side.

Just spit-balling here but, IF it were me, I'd try calling the toll-free replacement ordering number listed ON the battery. ????

You should fly back quickly and point out their mistake a soon as possible. They'll escort you right to where you'll need to go straight away. Bring cash as they don't like a paper trail that can be traced back to them. (don't worry about booking a hotel or return flight either) ????

My guess would be that payments would need to be made by her as you're not her "employer", but the best advice would be to check with the SS office directly. Manila handles Thailand. ( [email protected] )

Maybe check TOPS and FoodLand.

same as before - just 15 days added is my understanding

Me too and I got groped several times by schoolgirls and late-night beach goers still in bikinis. Not 1 of them offered me money afterwards though. ???? Since no one has asked, where's the CCTV footage that is always posted to back-up the story? Where's the re-enactment? Where's the mandatory finger point photo?

This is reported to start on Oct. 1st BUT, it isn't real until it gets published in the royal gazette.

Your retirement extension would not be valid if you leave. It gets canceled unless you get a re-entry permit and would not be valid again until you get a re-entry stamp.

current rates: 1.00GBP = $1.16USD If you have any paper £20 or £50 notes, we encourage you to use them or deposit them with your bank or Post Office before 30 September 2022. As paper notes are returned to the Bank of England, they are being replaced with the new polymer £20 notes featuring JMW Turner, and polymer £50 notes featuring Alan Turing. After 30 September, only our polymer notes will have legal tender status. What to do with paper notes after 30 September Once the 30 September 2022 deadline has passed, you will no longer be able to use Bank of England paper notes in shops or use them to pay businesses. After this date, many UK banks will accept withdrawn notes as deposits from customers. Some Post Offices may also accept withdrawn notes as a deposit into any bank account you can access with them. The Bank of England will always exchange any withdrawn notes, including paper notes we have withdrawn in the past. I'm heading to America tomorrow. I'll give you $5 apiece for them but you'll need to bring them to BKK today.

there's a mental image I could have happily lived without for the rest of my life. ????

re-entry permits are for folks with real visas and extensions for valid reasons that wish to exit and return for fun or business. this thread's for the return of the gamers.
