Nobody whatsoever in Thailand is getting a visa to visit the UK. This is because the UK visa application centre in Thailand has been closed indefinitely.

Check back here in a month and see if things have changed.

I know it's illegal to ship T95 masks for re-sale. 

Then do not ask about illegal activities. Also remember that there is no airmail to the US. Anyone shipping anything will be doing it by surface mail.

I still receive a monthly invoice on paper.

As mentioned, all arrivals into Thailand have been suspended. This includes Thai citizens.

Pretty sure there is a section in the constitution which enshrines the rights of all Thai citizens to enter/return to the Kingdom

 

Surely this act is illegal?

Section 39 of the Constitution:

Quote

No person of Thai nationality shall be deported or prohibited from entering the Kingdom.

Section 5 of the Constitution:

Quote

The Constitution is the supreme law of the State. The provisions of any law, rule or regulation or any acts, which are contrary to or inconsistent with the Constitution, shall be unenforceable.

However, Section 50 (6) of the constitution states that Thai people have a duty to:

Quote

respect and not to violate the rights and liberties of other people and not to commit any act which may cause disharmony or hatred in society

It would be for the Constitutional Court to decide on this matter.

Hi,

 

whats the name of this system?

GarageMate. Info here:

https://bluemate.com/

I had to order it from Amazon, because the company does not ship to Thailand. They are responsive though, so if you contact them they might ship to Thailand now they know the system is in use here. I can confirm that the unit works right out of the box. You do need a mains electric power source to power the device (our gates openers/garage door openers all have power going to them anyway).

Note: I don't get any kind of commission or kickback for recommending this product. It's something I paid for myself (plus import duties ???? ).

So do I get the automatic extension just on the ground that I'm a Thai citizen

Yes. You get the extension on this basis alone. Thai citizens who enter Thailand on a foreign passport are eligible get this extension.

Do I need a letter from the embassy of the likes UK embassy is issuing to British tourists stranded in Thailand?

No. You need your foreign passport, your Thai ID card and your house book. Some immigration offices might ask for a slight variation of these documents, so it is best to ask the office where you will be applying.

As a side note, do you realise that if you are Thai you do not need a work permit or any other kind of permission to work, stay, own property in Thailand, own a business in Thailand, etc? You are a Thai citizen and you have the same rights and privileges as every other Thai citizen.

To make life easier for yourself, next time you enter Thailand, use your Thai passport to do so. If you do this then immigration will treat you as a Thai citizen. You will not need to do 90 day reports, TM30's, you will not ever need an extension. And because you are Thai you will not need a work permit either.

As a side note, this makes you very employable, because your company does not need to do any work permit or immigration paperwork for you. You can work for whoever you want, in whatever capacity you want, at any time you want. You can work for multiple companies. Or you can work for yourself.

Your mobile won't be able to do anything on it's own

I have a system installed at our property whereby I have an app on my phone. I click the relevant button and the gate or garage door opens. It does it using the Bluetooth connection from my phone - no internet connection is needed.

I know I was the first person in Thailand with this because the app wasn't available to download in Thailand. I had to get the developer to enable Thailand for download purposes.

Very simple to install. It needs mains power and then there are 2 wires to connect inside the gate/garage door opener. These wires connect to the same place as the wall switch you use to open the gate/door.

Each opener can have up to 8 phones paired to it. Your phone can have virtually unlimited devices paired to it.

It's a good system. The only slight drawback is that the tint on the front windscreen can sometimes block the signal from your phone.

There is no need for you to do this. You can get a 1 year extension of stay for 1,900 baht on the basis that you are a Thai citizen. The 1 year extension of stay will be entered into your Japanese passport.

As far as immigration is concerned you will still have to comply with TM30 and 90 day reports.

If you do not leave Thailand after 1 year, you can get another 1 year extension on the same basis.

The car park is open to members of the public. There is a small hourly charge if I remember correctly. Take your car park ticket to the One Stop Shop and get them to validate it for you. That should give you an hour or two for free.

There is a car park at Chamchuri Square, where the One Stop Shop is located.

Click the link below to open a google map of the car park entrance. You can then click on the map/pin icon to get directions.

Alternatively, MRT Sam Yan has a convenient and direct underground connection to Chamchuri Square.

Just checking, but are you either:

1. A Thai citizen, or

2. A foreigner with a Thai work permit

If you are not in category 1 or 2 you well not be admitted into the country.

@jojothai My best advice would be to head to the Trendy Building on Soi 13. It's still open and some of the businesses are operating. You just need to find a visa shop/agent who does photos.

Worth a try as it's only one BTS stop from Phrom Pong to Asoke. From there you can walk on the newly extended skywalk as far as the Sofitel hotel. Descend to street level and Soi 13 is about 50 meters away.
