Thank you for your help ubonjoe, you are right I will have to try for another tourist visa and then the other next time, it will give me time to see what i need and what i need translated, google search shows me non O for a thai wife and not non o foriegn wife, so I can work on finding a website with all the info on.

The wedding certificate is from the Philippines and she needed to get it notified by the embassy there, she went to the one on Bangkok they sent to Manilla and now it is being sent to her home in Baguio before being sent back to Thailand, I dont know why it is like that, just that, that is what has happened or something similar but it wont get back her for another 2 weeks so nearly six weeks in total.

This year 3, plus 2 crossings at Cambodia and a visa on arrival from airport returning from UK

I am a Englishman staying for 5 years in Thailand on Tourist Visas but my local immigration office wanted to give me just 7 days extension on my last tourist visa since my passport is full of them but gave me 30 days due to me promising to switch to a non O as I have a Filipino wife legally working in Thailand. Sadly my 30 days are nearly up and half the paperwork is stuck in Philippines and wont get back in time.
Is there any problems with getting another tourist visa at Vientiane, last visit a South African got a last visa red marked but her mother with same travel history didn't.

Thanks in advance Gary

I need to get 2nd part of my double entry tourist visa started at the Cambodian border on Friday, has anyone had trouble at the borders recently?
I could not see any recent entries about visiting the borders so I started a new topic
Thanks in advance Gary

Thanks everyone I found it with your help.

Ops I should have gone to the immigration office on Monday does anyone know where the new office is in Chanthaburi it got changed about 2 months ago?

Thanks in Advance Gary

Thanks for all the replys, I think a business visa is out then, I don't want to be a teacher and I really don't want to put 800,000 baht into a thai bank account for a retirement visa, Maybe I will fly back to the UK and renew my passport it only has a 5 blank pages left in it, then decide when I am in the UK which way to proceed to getting back here.

Its so annoying and confusing, I have a Filipino Girl friend who works here we are planning to marry soon but worry about me being able to stay in this country.

I have just been looking at the details for getting a work permit for a start up online business that will sell advertising to UK and USA citizens, it will have nothing to do with Thailand apart from that I want to live here while I am working.

But all the work permit is about is Thai companys or foreign companys but nothing on sole trader start ups.... has any one got a work permit for this reason yet?

Thanks

Hi I am off to do another border run, will I get 15 days or 30 days at the Cambodian border today

Thanks in advance Gary

Ok I used Airmail, it cost £15 and took 5 working days, I phoned the Post Office and it was in so went and collected.... No problems.... Thanks for everyones comments they really helped

My camera broke so I want to send myself my old camera, well get a relative to send it to me here.
How do I go about doing this without incurring a huge bill in customs and extra since its my camera already?

No fuss in doing it all myself but from Nayaiam there isn't a run so have to.

Thanks Everyone for your help and advice

I went today had to wait at Chanthaburi for blooming ages nearly 2 hours for a minivan to take us to the border, when I got there the runners wanted 1300 baht so I walked over and the guys on the other end want 1100 baht for the $20 visa I complained and asked for a invoice, they gave no receipt and charged me 1000 baht. I was up Chaing Rai a few days ago I wish I had taken the bus to the nearest border there at least it would have made a change from this one.

Thanks I need to do it next Wednesday 16th October

I hate using Ban Laem for my visas they charge twice the going rate 1,400 for the orange shirts or 1,000 if you do it yourself.
Anyways I need to activate the second 60 days of a double entry tourist visa can I do it in Ban Laem.

Thanks in Advance gary
