    Thanks for your replies, I have told him this before but he seems to have a romantic idea of sitting on the beach being fed food by young ladies in bikinis

     

    I shall give him the address for Bangkok Hospital 😉

    Well he won't get it delivered by girls in bikinis. All the beach people will give you a menu and take your order. A guy on a motorbike will then get your order from a local restaurant that they deal with. He will bring it back and they will serve to you. Nothing is cooked on the beach itself. I recommend Jomtien or even better Koh Larn in the week.

    If you meant to say "get a UK visa" rather than "get a UK" then firstly we don't know that he didn't plan this weeks ago and secondly he might already hold a 2, 5 or 10 year visit visa for the UK. They're not that hard to get.

    Yes typo error missed out the word visa. The article implies he is visting the UK at short notice. Agree on the second part about he possibly could already have a long term visa. I agree a UK visa not that hard to get as my wife has had 3 x 1 year, a 5 year and now a 10 year visa. Many people would disagree however.

    I have a multi reentry permit and extension is end of 2024. I'm well aware of traveling with both pp as I stated in OP......

    "Yes I'm aware that I can just travel with both pp" 

     

    I have many trips out of Thailand this year and prefer presenting one pp to airline check in and immigration.

    Never suggested it was an issue.

    Clearly you don't know answer to my question

    But it's a not an issue question isn't it? And no I do not know the answer. You sometimes give some good advice albeit with a questionable bedside manner. I don't know why you don't wish to do as I suggested, it's simple and certainly not worth a thread on here.

  4. I am surprised that someone like you are confused. Travel with both passports and they will then stamp you in according to your extension date in the new passport. I am assuming that you have a single re entry, therefore in this case it will be marked used. You then visit where you did your extension at your leisure to change stamp to new passport. If its a multi re entry just travel with 2 passports until your extension is due. Sounds like a non issue to me.

    The fact that it is 2 different hotels in 2 provinces next to each other says a lot. Its probably the same fraudsters. 

    May I suggest the problem is you and your wife and the method you are using to book a hotel. Plenty of reputable easy to navigate sites like Agoda. Book now and pay later option, free cancellation etc. Why on earth your wife paid in advance and a deposit for a key is beyond me.

    I am currently on a retirement extension of stay 1 year with 800000 THB in Thai bank. I need to go to my home country and apply for a new passport because it will expire in a few months. Then I will apply for a e-visa non immigrant O 3 months single entry visa. I need financial proof in my case of 800000 baht. Can I use this amount from Thai bank or does it have to be the equivalent of this amount in Euro from a Belgian bank? I am from Belgium.

    Thanks.

    Have a look at your expiry dates of passport and extension. It may work out that you can work around them. You can renew your extension 30 - 45 days early at most offices. It may work out for you to renew your passport early by post and then renew your extension after you get the new passport. All you then need is a re entry permit to protect your extension date. Surely this will be a better way to proceed rather than losing your extension and starting again.

    She applied for the Netherlands, she specifically requested a visa with a longer validity, and whilst she provided supporting evidence for our four day side trip, her covering letter citied her previous travel history and indicative future travel plans.

    I have to admit we were pleasantly surprised, it was her first application since we actually left the EU and gave up the Freedom of Movement throughout the EU.

    Excellent thank you

    My wife recently applied for a visa for a forthcoming four day trip to the Schengen Area, she asked for a longer validity as we were considering further trips and was issued with a visa with a five year validity, but of course the 90 days in 180 rule still applies.

    That's worth knowing. May I ask what Schengen country issued this please. I havnt visited a Schengen country since the freedom of movement for family members ceased, this information would be good to know.

  9. So many different responses some vaguely correct most wrong. No one knows when the water throwing will start however in some of the Pattaya bar soi's it will start as early as the 10th April. It will then continue until the big day in Pattaya which is always the 19th, I don't know where someone got the 20th from. There is also a small continuation in Bang Suary on the 20th and that's it.
