    Stricter requirements, new application forms for ED visa extensions

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    thaichalina, you are fine, it is not a problem in your case.

    That would also mean i don't have to get proof of income and show it at immigration when making an extension? Just the ones who are applying for ed visa have to send it to MOE?

    Does showing evidence of income cause concern ?

    Yes because my money stays on account that i'm using together with my thai girlfriend.It's a joint account.I don't have a separate account.So if they want evidence all i can show is that joint account.

    MacWalen told that i shouldn't have problem with many tourist visas as i'm already on ed visa but just wanted to know if i need a proof of income at immigration when go make extension or is that only for people who are applying for ed visa?

    Best you get an account in your own name ! smile.png

    You will then be "safe" !

    First house call by immigration

    When Immigration came to inspect myself/wife and house we had everything they needed. Plus in a brown envelope 3,000 baht we were told was the norm for such visits. I was disgusted with this but I had to bite my tongue as this is suppossedly normal to happen. The funny thing was I can understand some Thai, the Immigration officer was making jokes about me not being able to speak alot of Thai. My witness who is a retired teacher and my ex-boss who can speak English then asked him why can he not speak English as he is an Immigration officer. All I can say is he shut up very quickly and left with a big wai!

    BS ---------you just made that up !

    If I am "mistaken " then you had better name the Immigration office and the officers involved !

    Non immi O visa from KL or Lao? - over 50, but not married to Thai lady

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    We're a British couple, over 50 and we got a multi-entry non-immigrant type O visa before our departure in the UK. We had to show savings of 800,000 baht each. I don't know if these are available from Laos or KL though but you definitely don't need a Thai wife to get one if applied for in the UK!

    Just as a matter of interest why did you not choose the O/A visa option which would , if used correctly, have given two years in country.

    I took a picture, here is the link, you see at the top, non immigrant B visa. See at the bottom left, weci hua-hin english instructor. I just want to know if I can renew this at immigration without going to Laos.

    My situation:

    No work permit should come this week but don't know as to what day, it could be tomorrow.

    On a visa under a different school that I don't work for.

    Expires in 4 days

    Ok I note the unusual nature of the single entry (90 days) visa

    I think you are likely to have to leave the country and get a new visa based on paperwork supplied by your new employer.

    Daily multivitamins -- is there any point?

    in Health and Medicine

    Quote CharlieH: "Somehow, and I know this may be a strange concept, but lets just take the word of a trained qualified medical professional. Individually tailored guidance to a specific issue by a qualified professional seems the more advisable solution".

    I agree with that, and that is why people who take the likes of Omeprazole and other medications may well be encouraged to take some vitamin supplements to compensate for the effects of these medications.

    Nothing is black and white as has sometimes been depicted by posters and even the medical profession with many papers and studies published, seem at odds with one another. Also many here seem to overlook the simple fact that alcohol depletes the body of some vitamins and minerals, so if you drink alcohol, and sometimes to excess, then you may be in need of vitamin supplementation.

    Anyway what we are discussing here, about vitamin supplementation and the use of multivitamins etc, may well already have been settled, because like it or not we take vitamin supplements with our everyday food. For example vitamin/mineral supplementation is present in many cases in: – bread and bread products, cereals, fruit juices, canned soups, margarines and similar spreads, many milk products and soy milk products, yoghurt, sports drinks/soft drinks, snack bars etc etc.

    ...and if that person is on the payroll of a vitamin company?

    Yes - so right - there are vitamins in food - stunning revelation.

    There are of course lots of additives for various reasons - mostly connected with sales.

    And your theory on vitamins and alcohol? Well vitamin deficiencies are usually connected with chronic alcoholism, so you might find that if you need vitamins you are ignoring the elephant in the room?

    Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by, "what if that person is on the payroll of the vitamin company".

    If you are referring to the Proton Pump Inhibitor reference, then that is pure medical science because that particular drug has an effect on how the food is processed in your stomach.

    Also not sure about your comment, "yes – so right – there are vitamins in food – stunning revelation". My point was that vitamins are ADDED to the foods I mentioned, and many more. So in fact, like it or not, you are engaging in vitamin supplementation.

    Again, I don't have a theory on vitamins and alcohol, because it is a proven scientific/medical fact and I'm not saying that only chronic alcoholics have a problem with it, it's just that anyone drinking over a certain amount of alcohol per day, and that doesn't mean just chronic alcoholics, are depleting certain vitamins and minerals in their system.

    And before I get another reply, no, I am not on the payroll of a vitamin company and I don't obtain any pecuniary advantage from airing my views, because that's exactly what they are, however they are based upon medical and scientific fact.

    Now, I've just found an elephant in my room, and I'm going to take it for a walk!

    Pleased to learn your views are based on medical and scientific facts.

    What , exactly , are these "medical and scientific" facts ?
