  1. How many goals in you giving me Rip for the inform Swans that have creamed all before them in the top 8?
  2. Friday in BKK Australian 60's something experience in trying to get a non o Immigrant visa happening. Thinking i did my research pretty well and only after contacting 3 so called visa specialists while still in AU where i just hit a wall over just a pure lack of details decided to go it alone. I turn up at the Laksi complex where i have extended my stay once before, with a TM86 form, photo copy's of arrival card visa stamp and passport and my rental contract for one year and still 17 days left on my tourist visa. First desk after telling him i want to apply for the non o long stay based on retirement says my TM 86 is incorrect and hands me a TM 87, so i fill it out then proceed to the second desk who send me into the main area where im speedily seen by a female officer, who says the TM 86 is correct for what i want...that i have all but the banking details and pretty much sends me away, in fact no matter what i ask its something along the lines that i will need to renew my visa and mumbled something like that would happen at another branch and that i should go down stairs to enquire about getting information on how to apply for a bank account.... Now this was meant to be a trail run as i half expected that id have problems but thought i would be set right by helpful immigration who haven't had a lot to do the last 2 years and most likely could return monday with the right everything and get it done....Nope....and thats a NOPE... Going down stairs its plainly obvious with every Thai bank under the sun down there she was referring i should apply there, BKK bank said they wanted to see a work permit or a long stay stamp....so back to the first desk and ask about requirements for getting a bank account he then referred me back to my original officer who sent me down stairs...getting now where i asked her who i could see about making an application for a residency certificate she sent me on while waiting she came out of her cubical and began more of the same by this time im completely confused and just had enough and leave. Friend who is a manager at a large insurance company here read the requirements form i printed out back in AU in Thai in there somewhere she says either bank account or a lease agreement is enough to get the ball rolling....no comment.... Anyway she and i tried 2 banks at a mall and as you can expect got the same response. and this is only because i recontacted those 3 so called visa specialists one said they dont help with getting a bank account quote "Most of clients can open successfully with Bangkok Bank if they tell bank that they need the account to transfer money from there country" well thats not true is it? Ok i get i must have done something wrong....I was under the impression handing in a TM 86 id get a 2 month extension so thats obviously incorrect....with that new stamp i assumed id get in my book it would open ups the possibility to get a bank account......with time running out on my tourist visa (its up on the 10th of May) im in need of some help, Thanking you to whom responds.
