As it is their own staff, I wonder what they will actually do if you fail test ? Just telling you to go away is not really a good idea if you actually have virus. 

The obvious reult of banning the only party that really opposes his military government. You cant mereley ban opposition. These students are the future, they were never allowed to vote before, the older generation have come to accept the military rule, but, as with every other country, the future government are the student youth. They wont accept this.

he needs to look at Hong Kong, same thing there. He might stay in power for this term, but if he allows another election in five or six years, the opposition party, 2hoever thay may be, will win far more votes as there will be far more young people willing to stand up. Its inevitable. 

I tried to use this a couple of weeks ago, 2 days before 90 day was due, no luck. Went to Immigration, he told me that it will only work if you do it a t least a week before the due date. 
so not sure how far in advance you doing it, but I will not be able to confirm if he is right until next time. 

I would guess that the wider trunking has all the feeds to each outlet, then take a single cable down in the thinner trunking.

obviously the trunking is much easier to do, than cutting troughs and running pipes, then  Plastering over.

In hindsight, I guess it would have been better to discuss their methods before commencing work etc

Was there last week. Not that busy, Many Bangla road bars fairly quiet. But its still expensive etc, but if your taking girl then you wont be buying “lady drinks” at the bars. 
 

How come the snappy dressed farang on the far left looks far bigger than anyone else in the photo ?

The normal 90 day report, which can be done online, does NOT require your bank book or proof of funds.

the proof of funds 90 day report is only a one time report, 90 days after your retirement extension etc. But do make sure you get your bank book updated at the bank on that dayas they will not accept it if this is not done.

Unbelievable stupidity by these people. Same as the Tourist Board “ carry on shopping “ the failure of these people is just beyond epic !!! 

I submitted Yellow book ID card, passport. That was six weeks ago. Still nothing . 

Yes it does apply to you. It applies to all foreigners regardless where you live. If you only stay in your province, then you only need to do it once. But you need to re-do it if you ever go out of Thailand and return to your own place.

By law, you should do it at each province you go and stay in should you go travelling, althogh if you stay in hotels, they are supposed to do it for you, and the report back at your own when you return home.

basically, they want to know were you are in Thailand at any given moment. 

As per previous, the actual requires you to register TM30 each time you re-enter the country if staying in private accommodation, even if you own it. However, the owner of the property ( in this case your wife ) is actially responsible for doing it, and can be fined if they do not.

if you only ever use hotels and they take a copy of your passport, they will do the TM30, so in this case you do not need to. 

Supposedly, if you travel around Thailand, you should report to each area immigration office you intend to stay in, if there is not one available, then the local police station.

However, my local immigration office, Jomtiem, informed me when i asked, that i only need to register if i leave the country and return.  That was last year. The chief immigratoin officer is now implying that this bit is not correct and we should report at each province etc.

i will have to go and check at immigration again.

of course, the problem is always that various immigration offices interpret the rules differently.

i guess, in order to be fine free, it is better to register everywhere you go. 

See attached.
One is a visa the other is an extension of stay.

Correct, but that Visa is the paper ones stuck in passport and issued in foreign embassy/consulates etc, which , as stated elsewhere, would not be transferred to new passport.

If, however, you get a visa issued within Thailand by immigration, which appears in pass port as stamps, not actual paper visa stuck in, they will transfer stamps etc to new passport along with extension stamps . ( at least that is what they did for me, but , as is customary in Thailand , this may not be be the correct or usual practice in all immigration departments etc )

Yes it is

They do not transfer visas that were issued by an embassy or consulate. Immigration only transfers stamps that they have done in a passport.
You probably had an extension of stay that is not a visa that was transfered.

They transferred the whole lot to new passport.

Immigration only transfers stamps they have done. If you have an extension of stay issued by they will transfer it and other relevant stamps to your new passport. They will also do a stamp with spaces for info about you old passport and the visa you used to enter the country.

Not true

 

they will transfer vusa etc that is whole point of having the ketter from Embassy, it confirms new passport is real so they can transfer visa.

did mine in February. 

Im not sure as not been to others, so I assume you saying you CAN use those methods elsewhere ? I hope in five years they finally accept them in Chonburi !!!!!,!,

I renewed my 5 year license, went to DLT, I have House Yellow Book and Thai ID card.

 

They looked at everything, then the girl called a supervisor to look at everything. They had a small list with requirement listed, this stated Certificate Of Residence, therefore they insisted on certificate in spite of me having various proof of address etc.

 

it seems that no one at DLT has been advised that a Yellow Book, ID or previous license is equivalent to a Certificate of Residence. 

 

All extremeley daft and annoying ( especially finding this out after riding all the way to the DLT ! ) 

 

As I have posted before, if you THINK something might be needed, then take that with you ! 

 

 

 

 

Basically, assuming you own and live in your own property, you should register EVERY time you return to to that place from a trip OUTSIDE Thailand. If, however, you return to Thailand and go to stay in a different town etc for a break, then wherever you stay, the landlord/receptionist/owner of THAT property should register you. You do not need to go yourself.

when you return to your own town/ home, then YOU should go to local immigration to register.

 

if you were to return to Thailand, and go straight back to your own home, you need to register as soon as possible. If you then go on a trip somewhere else within Thailand, you do NOT need to register, as it will once again be the responsibility of the hotel or owner of whatever property you stay in ( even if it is just a friends house ). When you go back to your own home after this trip, you do NOT need to re-register.

 

In Chonburi they are clamping down on non-TM30 people. Fines of about 2000bht.  Even set up new room in immigration to register. I dare say that now Big Joke is in charge, other offices will be same soon. 

 

And yes, if you leave country even for a day, then you are supposed to re-register. 

I asked at Jomtiem immigration, and she said to only report if you leave the country and return. If you go to a hotel/resort within Thailand, they will inform immigration that you have stayed there.  

The assumption is that after the stay in hotel, you will return home etc etc. 

I got a yellow book, but had to have a proper visa, and also had to have over 30 days left on it, as, due to timescale of getting book, the visa needs to still be valid at the actual time of presenting you the yellow book.

as stated, you also have to have passport translated into Thai ( amongst other requirements, which differ on each Amphour. ) 

You automatically get a Blue Book when you purchase a condo, however, as mentioned, it does not, nor will it ever,  have your name, as a foreigner, in it.

 

as stated, you can apply for a Yellow Book, which will have your name in it. This is not automatically given, you have to apply for it. This can involve jumping through hoops depending on which area you happen to live in.

 

Someone said you get a Yellow Book “if registered “ I have no idea what this actually means, since it is highly unlikely  ( extremely difficult ) to be registered as a Thai resident .
