So, is there some issue with this for future reference for me so I can be correct in my comments.
He probably means he is British but meaning English.
There is a lot of controversy, especially with brexit, over our nationality with nearly all of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and a considerable portion of Wales wishing to stay within Europe partly because of the subsidiaries they will lose on coming out
Both Northern Ireland and Wales are a cost to the British taxpayer while Scotland believe they can survive on their North Sea reserves and be better off (won't last for ever)
If that is their choice, like britmantoo, they can **** off, have their independence and i am happy to call myself English

Did you by any chance apply at the Phuket or Phang Nga IO for your O-A retirement extension?
Firstly thank you for the relevant information looks like i will try to keep the OA extension just change the reason.
Secondly, no, i did not apply at any of the above offices it was chong chom immigration
They could see that my stay was only for 1 month after this date and that i had a return ticket
I always have insurance for the time i am there but this is normally 3 or 4 months worth from an independent source

With a multiple entry Non O visa, you certainly do need to leave after 90 days unless you get an extension of your permission to stay.
Thank you. The Australian that lived by me (now returned to Australia) was on this for many many years. In fact he claimed that everyone he knew was on also on it.

Clarification would be appreciated
you will need to state what visa your extension is based upon
Drjack54 got there before me

I had no problem renewing my OA extension based on retirement in January of this year(no insurance required). This post has now raised doubt that my next extension could be problematic.
Question: can i change the reason for extension to marriage on my OA extension so that the insurance is not required, i could also go down the dependant route as i have a child
I don't really want to go down the non o visa route as this requires leaving the country every 3 months (only normally here for 3 months at a time but there may come a time when things change) Not married yet but will deal with that when necessary
-
I did my extension of stay in January of this year (800k in bank method) no mention of insurance was mentioned or asked by immigration. Am i missing something or has everything changed in the last couple of months?

Because having it on your hands never happens right? The main transportation method.
read the post correctly.
Always has to be some smart ass with a pointless statement.
My point was obvious (but not for some) that the wearing of masks (if everyone was to wear one) will stop/slow the spread of the virus. All the people standing outside the shops are not shaking your hand, are they!
I don't dispute your statement but have also been told by numerous medical staff that you cannot wash your hands enough in a day to combat the virus (would have to be every 20 minutes was quoted to me) but anything is better than nothing
The fact that it is the main transportation method can also be argued. i quote
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or speaks.
If someone then touches an infected surface, of course they then can then become infected
Its called stopping it at the root cause

UK the viral numbers speak for themselves
they are still mulling over if the public should be made to wear a maskI am in the UK. People are out and about no masks whatsoever (maybe 5% at most) I know a number of people at the hospital including nurses and admin staff who inform me that the social distancing is virtually useless if people are not wearing a mask (people standing outside shops in queues 150 metres long where even a slight wind blowing will send any virus half the length of the queue . Masks are there to protect others from you, therefore all have to wear one in order for it be of use.
If infected, by the time you realise it, you will have infected multiple other people simply because you are not wearing a mask. When these imbeciles have infected their parents, grandparents etc (high risk of death) maybe they will have a different outlook.
If everyone were to wear a mask the virus cannot spread buts its everyone or nothing
If you look at the countries that already were prevalent in the wearing of masks and therefore the population immediately used masks on a virtual 100% basis their death rate and exposure were minute in relation to other countries

People unable to even leave their villages. So I would argue that measures are being taken.
just outside of Surin checkpoints on all roads leading from villages with everyone being checked for temperature before they are able to leave or enter. this hasn been in operation for a number of days now
No local shops have or are selling alcohol due to risk of huge fine if caught

Could even be the family (mentioned buying gold for her grand mother)
My gf's father once got drunk and told her she was a waste of space as i had not bought land, house etc like all the other farangs. Regardless of the fact that he was basically being supported by me. He continues to pay for that remark to this day

no never i would do it for a girl in my home country.. but in my home country i would never have a girl at less than half age of mine.
If you had a girl, more than half your age in your country what would you think if she asked for loads of jewellery?
Thais do have an expectation and obsession with gold. BUT Listen to what she is saying ( my friends boyfriends buy for them why not you)
Give her what she wants and as long as your money continues to flow she may stay with you but don't hold your breath.
A case in my village recently where a farang just got married built a very nice house (in the village) and brand new car. 9 months later, according to her, he apparently, left her. ( she has never lived in the house and stays in the city
She already has a condo in Pattaya ( how she got that no one will tell me or knows)
She is extremely attractive,I call her the black widow.
Most relationships i have seen here are genuine with the ages about 15 years difference but if you believe she fancies you with a huge age gap then you are deluded

Masks are not necessarily there to protect yourself but to protect others, many people do not realise they are infected. A mask will stop you from infecting others
Its not rocket science just common sense
In the Asian countries where the wearing of masks (especially since the outbreak) has become normal/mandatory, the virus has subsided very quickly
Countries in Europe have a vastly higher spread of contagion and death rate (what is the difference?)
I am in the UK which it is now probably the second worst country, for the virus, in the world
I had to go shopping yesterday and i would say that less than 5% of people were wearing masks.
And i thought Thai people were stupid !!!!!

I would reason it's inconceivable that Thailand has such a published low Covid 19 infection rate
I completely concur with your assessment. With over 25% of its tourists coming from china and the fact that for someone to have a fever is not classed as abnormal especially in children.
I have always said that the children here have to spend 10% of there youth in a sick state until they get the immunities necessary to combat the various viruses that often occur here.
The times i have heard 'oh he has fever'
They all share the same cup and glass when drinking, whether it be water or whiskey and
share the same spoon when eating
The place is a viruses heaven in the making

Every year for the last 10 years according to everyone on here and i'm still waiting
I certainly don't expect it happening soon
Over that time numerous companies have relocated factories to Thailand and is still an attractive proposition for many, regardless of the bahts strength
Hundreds of expats/ wannabe economists have consulted their crystal balls with stories of doom and gloom but not one has yet to be correct

4 hours ago, MaxYakov said:If one wants to do "touring" in Thailand and better avoid an early death one should rent a car or, better yet, take the bus. These spectacular crashes we've been seeing are not done with "touring" bikes but with racing bikes that don't strike me as being the best tour bikes such as the Honda Gold Wing, for example
When we all started riding bikes,for most of us anyway, we started off on smaller bikes on good roads and where the majority of people had good road sense. Over time we to gained the experience to ride bigger bikes.
No amount of track days will give you that expierience
Unfortunately that is not the option here and many will die before that happens
Riding a 'honda gold wing' (bath tub) will never be an option for me and many others, who i would call, true bikers. (sorry harley riders just my opinion)
I've had a few scares but only due to cars not seeing me, the stopping power of big bikes are amazing these days
If you've never ridden a big bike your opinion accounts for nothing because you haven't lived (i don't mean that in a derogatory manner)
We all know that whether you are driving/riding we have to be 5x more aware of whats happening around us and the biggest danger is the soi dogs imo

Quote from the article
A Home Office spokesperson said: “All applications are considered on their individual merits, on the basis of the evidence provided and in accordance with the immigration rules.
Whilst i also sympathise with the couple there are rules in place for a reason, we are no different from Thailand or any other country
My friend married someone from the USA (she had been living here (UK) with her mother who had married an english man)
Note: 16 when arrived but 18+ when married
They were given 2 years to provide evidence of their relationship (a settlement visa /leave to remain i presume) and a list of criteria that they needed to show after this time
One week before the due date they handed over a bunch of documents that proved, beyond all doubt, their relationship was genuine. However they was told that she had to leave the country immediatley as most of the documents were not from the criteria that they had been given/required. No chance of appeal as no time left
It seems this couple, also, have ignored all the protocols and are now paying the price

If you are a UK pension receiver and stay out of the country for more than 90 days you do not get an annual pension increase
That is not true
As long as the UK is you main residence you will continue to get a pension increase
However if you are regularly staying out of the UK they would question your residency

Ditto. The car manufacturing is going to be decimated the same way as in Australia. All decisions for that will be made offshore as the Brits don't own any car brand now.
worked in car manufacturing for 30 years and the writing has been on the wall for the last 15 years (absolutely nothing to do with Brexit). Manufacturers are using Brexit as a reason to pull out, its called saving their company image
Manufacturing has been switched to new countries in the EU like romania and turkey where labour was cheap (turkey not in the EU but given nearly the same export deal as other countries in the EU) still, considerably cheaper than the UK
The UK, although mostly, was not the only casaulty as some EU countries have also suffered

What does it matter? completely irrelevent
Thai wife or not they are married to a uk citizen who has paid all his life to the british exchequer
The post was in relation to Eu students in the UK versus UK students in the EU
lets face it alot of thai wives end up wishing, and do, return to thailand due to their social way of life and feel lonely and ostracised in the UK

Percentages vary across the country with a fairly significant number above the 10% mark, hardly a small minority.
On 7/14/2019 at 9:28 AM, sandyf said:Most businesses would be fairly reliant on a customer group that was over 10% of its customers
I referenced your link and to be honest nothing surprised me with both universities from my city well above the 10%
I am pleasrd that you stated most businesses above and i would agree with that statement, however, my accounts being from 2 lecturers, it was their opinion that so much money could be made from student enrolments it was all about bums on seats (as they stated)
The lobbying by universities to change the visa rules in my opinion can only be seen as an attempt to enrol more students and hence more income. Nothing wrong with that as it still would put money into the UK economy
Out of term ( my friend has the laundry contract) these halls of residences( basically hotels now) are rented out to tourists (only started last year).
I should mention at a loss last year but only due to bad management as run by the students themselves to a large degree
MY point is/was that these universities are run totally as a business. external/overseas students may provide a good source of income but by no means provide/support UK places
My opinion obviously stems from the views of 2 lecturers and observations around campus whilst studying and helping my friend with his laundry contract
