Does anyone know why every year they require copies of the same documents you provided them with originally, ie marriage certificate, copy of passport information etc.? I can understand an updated bank statement but the rest is just a waste of paper and time.

I also think it is a shame that rules cannot be made that are standard for everyone. One person has no problem and another with essentially the same status, is given the 3rd degree (visit to home, requesting a neighbor you might not know that well to vouch for you and provide a copy of their ID). Now I read that contrary to an earlier post that supposedly confirmed a grandfathering of 200,000 baht for those married to a Thai who have been here a while is not true - at least not for everyone.

I for one, think a person's legal status in a country is too important to make the rules as you go. Why there is not a fair and equal standard for all according to their status in country, is beyond me. It would seem to be a lot easier to implement than the current situation but alas, the LOS is not perfect and this is one of the areas in which it fails and needs repair. Unfortunately, most of the repairs become more problems than the problems they were supposed to fix.

C'est la vie.

Is this a limited time promotion for the free installation? If so, when does it end and where do you call to get it?

Thanks

the big question is how could they identify her in the first place in order to make the arrest? only thing I can think of is the dimwit left his nametag on the suitcase.

when reporting at the 90 day interval, do you have to bring anything other than your passport with you?

i'm looking for an offshore bank that I can to open in US dollars.  One that will not bleed you to death with fees and offers either a credit and/or debit card. Does anyone have any banks they could recommend?

Also, where are some places to go to get documents (passport) certified and what are the costs?  This seems to be a requirement to opening an offshore account.

Thanks for your help.

I am married to a Thai and have been in country now 3 years under a type O non-immigrant visa.

Could you answer please these questions regarding a residence permit:

1)  What is the money/income requirements to obtain one.  Is it the same as to get a one year non-immigrant visa of 200,000baht in a local bank account?

2)  What medical information is required? Is there a physical needed or just a letter from a physician/clinic?

3)  What is the total time period and cost to obtain the permit?
