Extension longer than visa validity.
bigt3116 replied to Guitar God's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The op makes no reference to being married, maybe that is why he wants to go the retirement route. -
Thai police shut down 21 villas on Koh Samui, foreigners evicted

Actually, when it was 1 million for life and the exchange rate was far better, it was a bloody good scheme. -
Today I met the first farang returning home because of exchange rate
bigt3116 replied to nofarang's topic in Central Thailand
Serious? Are you suggesting that when I came and it was 65, I should have planned on it becoming 25 ? Sounds absolutely stupid. -
"The surviving spouse is a statutory heir but their entitlement depends on what other class of statutory heir exists. If there are surviving children of the deceased, the spouse and children take the estate between them. Therefore, if there are three children, then the estate is divided in to four equal shares." This would seem to disagree with you, and every law firm page I visited says the same. So if there were children and the wife emptied the account, she would in effect be stealing from legal heirs?

Do you have a link to this adjustable voltage Taser? I can't find a single one that allows any adjustment, either before or after deployment. -

And where would they staple the receipt? -
90-day report without physical passport book
bigt3116 replied to mikeh's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Strange, because my local office scans the passport with their passport scanner. -
Check with your immigration office, similar scenario is if your Thai wife dies and you are on an extension based on marriage, most offices will let you stay on that extension and then find a new way to stay when it expires. I can think of no reason why on your demise immigration would not let your wife just change the reason for her extension from dependent to retirement.

Non - O based on having a Thai Child
bigt3116 replied to maximoB's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Wow, totally wrong! You realise that a name on a birth cert means diddly here? As posted above, a number of ways to legitimize a child born out of wedlock -
Restore lost Yellow Book
bigt3116 replied to Tim K's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Two things, you don't have to get a pink id card to have a yellow book, and secondly, you get a pink id card after you get a yellow book. So in short, a pink id is not needed at all for a yellow book -
You specifically said they asked for your re-entry permit, and by your own admission they did not! So why don't you stop making excuses for giving duff info? "I don't have a visa. I have an extension based on retirement.", no you don't, you have an extension based on being over 50. Whether I fly a lot or not has nothing to do with the amount of forum reading I do and whether anyone else has specifically been asked to show a re-entry permit. You sound like you hate being proved wrong. 🙂

You say "they know", yet they asked for your visa, not a re-entry permit. And instead of showing what they asked for, you show them a re-entry permit? I stand by what I said, airlines do not ask for (nor probably know about), re-entry permits, your post above actually helps prove my point, not dispel it. 🙂

Baht becoming ridiculously strong

No, not all currencies of the world are valued against the dollar. While the U.S. dollar is a widely used reserve currency, it's not the only benchmark. Many currencies are valued against other currencies, such as the euro or the British pound. 1. 7 Currencies Worth More Than the U.S. Dollar - Investopedia www.investopedia.com Here's a breakdown: Direct Quotation: This is when a currency is quoted in terms of the U.S. dollar. For example, "1 EUR = 1.10 USD." Indirect Quotation: This is when a currency is quoted in terms of another currency, such as the euro. For example, "1 USD = 0.91 EUR." 1. A Comprehensive Guide to Decoding FX Direct Indirect Quotes - Axiory www.axiory.com So, while the U.S. dollar is a significant player in the global currency market, it's not the only one. -

British English IS my first language, not Australian or South African English where that term comes from.
