"They think they provide a great service ". I been here in Chiang Mai for 7 years. When going to city, I will tell you 40 % rot daeng drivers are good, the rest are not. Most of the time, I felt frustrated when I wave my hand and they will stop. I will tell them my desired location, and they will declined(take note, no passengers at all). Since then I really enjoying using the Grab drivers whenever I went to the city. Oh, yesterday it's my first time to use the Grab Bike and it's awesome!. I used Grab Bike for 3x yesterday 555

I'd love to apply for a Permanent Residence.But the last time I spoke with an immigration officer she told me that it's difficult for me.Because I need to speak,write,read Thai.I'm married to Thai for 3 yrs.Have 3 consecutive Non immigrant O visa.Plus,I'm not working,just taking care of my son. And can't produce the 95,700 fee.So I will stick on every year non-o visa.

I went at old Immigration office near at Chiang Mai Airport.Upon arriving,you will see 3 lines.Go on the 2nd line.

.

Done last 2 weeks.Probably one hour and half and your done .Just make sure you have the Certification from your embassy.

Yap.dddave is correct.It's hard for a Filipino Citizen to leave the country.This is my tip for you.

Buy her a complete accommodation.It's not enough that she will present a round trip ticket.Our immigration are very strict.

Or

If you still have time,you can go to Embassy of Philippines in Bangkok and apply for a "Invitation Letter".It needs the following:

-copy of her passport

-proof of round trip ticket

-your working permit

-account from the bank.

You can ask the officials for more info.Maybe you can apply her for a 2 or 3 months visa to our embassy.

Wish u luck

Hello Nduffau

Pm sent.Please check your inbox

Thanks

Thank you for clarification @ ubonjoe

Thanks as always ubonjoe for the input.

So I need to wait for 3 yrs to apply for permanent residence

How about if the foreigner is woman?.What is the step to get a permanent residence.

I'm a housewife taking care of my 1yr 6 months while my Thai husband is working..I'm currently on my 2nd yr spouse visa.I can speak bit of thai languange,but zero in reading and writing.

Thanks

wow!thanks Krey.My friend just enroll here in CM.And the school principal told her to bring the cancellation letter upon doing the extension.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

For my friend experience.She went to Nongkai to exit because her Ed visa will expired.But the Nongkai immigration is looking for the CANCELLATION LETTER from the school.So prepare this document before you exit the boarder.

Thanks for the info Robert.Last question which counter your going to line up if you want to extend your ED visa?

Thanks

Hello Guys

Meaning you can report at Immigration for the extension?.Is CM immigration is strict on extension for ED visa?

Thanks

Hello Monk,kindly check your inbox.Thanks

What's wrong on asking this question @cup-O-Coffee?

My friend already seek question and advice from her school.And far as I know,Thai visa exist for people who seek an opinion and advice from other.Don't you know the word SECOND OPINION?

Thanks everyone for your help.My friend got single entry tourist visa in Laos.So she need to wait for her document to get new ED Visa,and need to leave Thailand again.

Can't contact her now.This morning when she exit the Nongkai boarder the officer is looking for cancellation letter,,then later on they allowed her to exit.Hope is everything ok now.I pray she can get a Tourist visa at embassy of Thailand in Vientianne.

Thanks a lot for your great help Ubonjoe and Mario.Both are you are reliable source here in Thai Visa forum.

I got my one yr Non-o from the Immigration based on marriage to Thai,then every 90 days I should report to them...It will end this Oct 14

No need for cancellation letter from school?

No,my one year will be end this October 14.Then the last time I went at Immigration the officer told me that I can get 45 days(one month 1/2)

How can I get another 12 months visa based on marriage?

Staff from school went to Immigration but it still denied .

ubonjoe,yeah after her 1 yr she went to MOE and got 6 months..(before the new rule was implemented).

Yesterday,she need for appearance right,but it was denied.Her stamp is until on 13th.

Is she can go to Laos,to apply first a Tourist visa while waiting for her new documents?

Thanks

Is this different if the foreigner is women?

I will finished my 1st 1 yr Non-o visa this October.The immigration officer told me after the 1 yr,I will get a 45days extension

Any idea also what's next after I get a 45 days?

Thanks

My friend got 6 months extension from MOE after she finished her 1 yr ED VISA.It was given last June. Yesterday when she went at Immigration for reporting 90days the immigration officer denied it.It said that the new rule is to leave the country to get a new ED visa.Why like that?.This was given by MOE.The officer told my friend to leave the country.

Is that ok if she leave Thailand via boarder and get a Tourist visa while waiting for her new papers for new ED visa?

Did she need a cancellation letter from school?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your report.Meaning if someone ED visa is finished,someone should leave the country for a new ED Visa..No more extension at MOE
