You can send faxes directly from your PC or laptop with the correct software.  Google "fax software for pc" or something similar.

Yep, that is what I am doing right now. I am trying to upgrade fax.plus (website) for basic pricing but there is a small teething problem. Receiving Fax feature requires my country (Thailand) but it can not be found in the combo. Help support says I can still upgrade but I am not sure how....Have you been using it recently?

If you do not mind to tell me, does it match one of three fax numbers? 

Sorry I did not see the little fax number at the bottom. Many thanks, it looks like they gave me the wrong numbers & my brother in-law gave the correct one. I will keep trying again.

.....gets better, found their fax number in a 2014 email, it still seems to be connected to a fax machine....

 

 

Our fax number is +44 191 218 7021

If you do not mind to tell me, does it match one of three fax numbers?

.....failing that I'd send them a message at https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/ipc/personal-details and ask them directly what you should do.

Yes that is how I get the fax number recently but it is not recogisible (a person at the fax service said that).

No idea about the fax number but I did use to call the pensions service from Thailand for a friend who also had not very well working ears.  They were able to dicsuss anything provided I could get him to confirm his date of birth and say yes when asked if they could discuss his pension affairs with me.

Glad you helped your friend with pension issues. I am given 3 fax numbers which are:

1. Fax +44 191 2187201  (got email from International Pension Service)

2. Fax +44 191 2187021   (my brother in-law gave me)

3. Fax +44 191 2187120  (offical letter)

No ideas which one is correct so I have tried all of them - number 1 & 3 not recogisible.  Only number 2 is succeeded but I have not received the response yet. (I beg them to use the encrypted email instead of postal due to coronavirus). I do not have my own fax facility so I have to go to the fax service. It is about the gap issues.

That is why I am hoping someone can confirm me with the correct fax number.

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me what fax number for International Pension Service for corresponding purpose?

I am aware they will not accept the public email system & the postal is too slow. I can not use the phone - my ears are not working. 

Hence the fax facility is my only choice.

Appreciate your help.

I see the BoJo apologists are out and about. 

 

Let them answer this: if Johnson's initial response was the best he could do at the time, why did he deliberately not attend five Cobra meetings on the virus? 

 

That's not a mistake, that's not even incompetence. That's ignoring his responsibility as Prime Minister. 

Also he is not taking his serious consideration over EU procurement scheme...

That's great news so they can lift State Of Emergency soon but should do mass testing to find Asymptomatic Carriers.

If I am correct, the asymptomatic carriers will become the carriers with symptoms after 14 days. Yet these number looks positive low today. Of course, still in the early days.

Not needed for any normal extension. It is only required for the special 30 day extensions they are doing.

Many thanks - So I will try the normal extension tomorrow. By the way I notice many people are already sitting outside at Phuket Immigration at 7.45am for 8.30am! About 30 of them...

May I ask a simple question - The covid19 notice from Phuket Immigration (see attached) is not clear because it does not mention for 30 days extension only or all the types of the extensions. 

I am planning to submit the TM7 form for 12-month extension (single parent) so do I need a letter from British Embassy & make 4 copies instead of 2?

Appreciate any shortest answers.

I think all closed now, local parks, national parks, beaches... I have seen people walking and running in Naiharn and Kata, but not on the beaches, but on the road and pavement - which doesn't make sense to me at all, they pass by each other close, much more space on the beach....!!! ? 

This morning, my nearest local park is somewhat opening so I assume it will be closed earlier than usual - probably up to 4 or 5pm.

What about local parks?

Why were you applying for a 60 day extension if you can stay in the country longer than 90 days in the country.

Are you on a one year extension and were wanting delay applying for a new one.

1st Q: Sorry, if I confuse you. I mean 90-day reporting / notification is nothing to do with extension.

2nd Q: Yes, I have current 1-year extension expired in mid-March. I want the 1-year extension to be expired in mid-May (not in mid-March).

I think the problem was that you were applying for the extension to earlly. At most offices the earliest they will do a short term extension is around 2 weeks. So rather than admitting their mistake she told you it would start from the date of application so you would wait until latter.

Correct, the reason I came early is my 90-day reporting was expired on 8 Feb so I thought the 60-day extension can override that. After unsuccessful attempt, it means I must do both 90-day reporting and 60-day extension separately.

It’s not normal and the IO was talking complete nonsense. The 60 days starts the day after the current stay ends; always.

Thanks, I must be unluckily & I hope other IOs still follow the standard.

Today I went to Phuket Immigration for 60-Day extension based on single parent of thai child.

The proceeding looks good until the very last minute the officer is about to stamp my passport. Suddenly she said apologetic to me that she forget one thing. 

She explained me that I applied 33 days earlier than the expired date which means I am entitled to extend 27 days - because the rule is to start from the day I applied - NOT from the start of the expired date.

Hence I decided to postpone it till immediately just before my expired date.  

I wonder if this proceeding is normally correct or not. If so, it may be a worth for anyone to be aware of that.

Already wasted my afternoon ...sigh!

Let make autobiography for health minister. It consists of 36 pages within 24 hours.

Yes, I understand now. Of course I must reapply the 12-month extension at least 3 weeks before the two-month extension's expired date. 

Many thanks again.

As long as you have never had the 60-day extension to visit Thai spouse/child before, since your entry into Thailand, what you propose is allowed. Note that an entry using a reentry permit does not entitle you to the 60-day extension, only the initial entry before you had any extensions.

Thanks for explanation. Sounds good to me because my request for 60-day extension will be my first time and I do not have a reentry permit. My plan is to request the reentry permit within the duration of the 60-day extension. Then I can reapply the 12-month extension after the 60-day extension's expired date. Is that possible?

The 60 day extension is only possible if you are married to or the parent of a Thai.

You can apply for the 60 day extension to visit your wife or child and then apply for the one year extension near the end of it

Thanks for your clear answer. Yes, parent of a Thai. My plan is to get the 60 day extension to avoid the under-consideration expired date.

I wish to visit Singapore and then return here before the 60-day extension's expired date. Then I can re-apply the 12-month extension.

Will that still not be a problem?
