Destruction and takeover created by Putin, but alas Karma seems to be biting his rear end right now.

Gone like the dodo bird my friend, disappeared along with the others days ago and were replaced......

And then there's RULES.........................

You will do the e-visa application on-line and then send them your passport by mail, with the approval if you have one or with the other documents requested, you will also include a return and stamped envelope for them to return it to you in. I used to do all of my Visa applications by mail which included the application and all of the paperwork as well as the paperwork and payment sent to them as I lived up near Redding, Ca. Please read the instructions on the Consulate General Los Angele's website carefully to understand what type of mail services they will accept. The individual I always received e-mails from when I had questions was Bernard, but that was when I was doing my Non-Imm O Visa applications and then my initial O-A Application. The last time I did it in person as I was flying through Los Angeles to Thailand, and decided to hang out in Hollywood for a few days, that was in 2019. For the LTR Visa it says this Ignore my comment about mailing in anything for the e-visa, this is a pop up when I just went to see the website and check the e-visa. https://thaiconsulatela.thaiembassy.org/en/index

I believe you are living in the twilight zone. So you have never been through a checkpoint then where all traffic is stopped. Well disciplined drivers, you made the coffee spew from my nose when I read that peach of a statement......

They still need to stop the people and explain just what would have happened and the fine they would have been given. If they just say they are giving a grace period how will the offenders know to not violate the codes. Oh wait that would require the police to actually enforce the laws. Just because the fees have increased does not mean the public will suddenly pay attention....

I supplied a Verification of income letter from my Pensions retirement system. The verification of income shows my monthly benefit and when it started as well as stating it is a defined benefit pension which is a Lifetime Defined Benefit which will only increase as COLA's are added and will never decrease. I know that this a rare type of pension in todays world. I also submitted my past years US Income tax return with certain items redacted.

Better read the last sentence in your post, it does not require an in-person visit if done by E-Visa after being approved. "In the case of collecting LTR Visa at the Royal Thai Embassies/the Royal Thai Consulate Generals overseas or E-visa, fee may vary depending on the currency exchange rate of each country"

Was he not also a caretaking PM back in the 90's......this guy is nothing but a career politician

Nope, I'll use the pontoon boat with its 365 hp mounted engine.....

Cheap as chips for a lawyer, about 60k usd a year no biggie.

The quote you attributed to me was from another poster. Your getting he and I mixed up.

Then obviously this LTR Visa is not something that works for you, just like an Elite Visa, and the annual extension of stay is a better fit.

Your acting like the LTR Visa does not have any advantages over the annual extension of stay, yet it has so many. If you do not travel and all you ever do is stay in Thailand then the LTR Visa is not what you need. The Elite Visa also is meant for folks who travel, but if you do not then yes you have to go to immigration at the end of your year and pay the 1900 baht for another 1 year stamp. This LTR Visa is run through the BOI and not Immigration itself. There is a big difference in the facilitation of each one. If it is not to your standards then so be it, but please stop with the misinformation equating it to an Elite Visa but cheaper, or an annual extension of stay, it is neither. Here are the advantages it holds over an extension of stay and an elite visa:

Yes the annual visit is the equal of doing a 90 day report and that is it, it is not for getting a permission to stay stamp, it is a 1 year report equal to the 90 day. You can leave the country many times and re-enter as you wish with not having to do a re-entry permit, and each time you return you are stamped in for a year based upon having the 5 year visa sticker in your passport. Many folks are trying to equate it to the Elite Visa which it is not.

So with the floods now covering many areas how does the DDC plan on attacking the issue. Will there be arial spraying to kill the mozzies?

He should be hired by this Governments Cabinet, he would fit in well with the watchman, the heroin smuggler, the chicken farmer, and the others.....it was not just the Thaksin's as people want to believe, the entire country is polluted with corruption. Years ago I was hired under a foreign teacher quota for a school in the north and was hired to teach the other English instructors. The day before I was to start at 45k a month, the Districts School director canceled my contract and hired his niece who had just graduated from the university and spoke some English.....you can guess how much she was paid and where the other money went.

It was in mine and is why it became an Amphur divorce without lawyers and a signed written agreement.
