He shouldn't be hard to find Centara will have registered a TM 30 in his name ..Yeah, you might be visited by the police for doing a runner. All those places have cameras, and if not even on the outside somewhere. Curious to the age difference. 70yrs - 25yrs?

no mention of reporting back for bank balance check.
Sent from my SM-G610F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
Apparently the procedure is to just hand you a letter with the date of the bank balance check in , when they give your passport back. You might yet get one ..( or not ! )

So everyone has a different experience ..AFAIK Makro is the only store that makes you leave empty bags at the desk, everywhere else we don't have a problem putting them in the empty trolley. Backpacks and small cases etc might be a problem, but I don't see that with an empty shopping bag. They do it in most western countries so why not here?
I go to Makro .(.Suk' Rd , Pattaya ).
My backpack goes in the trolley, it has 5 or 6 ex-Tops plastic bags in it ..I do my shop in store ,never once been requested or required to leave my bag at the counter.
I actually show the guard my bag and contents ..no problem ( until now :( )

You realize that deposit is there for the life of the visa ,basically untouchable .( Not like the Thai version)I don't claim to know much about the P.I. (as I have never lived there) but this is what I found for retirement visas there:
SRRV (10k USD deposit for 50 and above with a pension of at least $800.00 per month) or 20K deposit without a pension.
or
SRRV for Veterans is only $1,500.00 bank deposit (with a pension of $1000.00 or more)
The veterans .. refers to ex military vets and only from countries that have a military relationship with PI .

Wait until you have to deal with PI govt depts !If i had a dollar for every time I heard that statement!
I'm sick to the back teeth of it! just because this is thailand is no excuse for governmental incompetence! It's about time Thailand came into the 21st century.
You haven't replied to several questions about what 12 month visa you got ..
Not 13a , not 13b .. not retirement ,as you need to deposit 20k USD in a PI bank ..
So maybe some 12 month tourist visa ?
If so .. you will still have report to BI after 30 days ( 3000 peso ) for a 60 day extension .. on your next report you will have to apply for an ACR1 card ( 10k peso Inc the extension ) ..you need to ACR to open a bank account.
Extensions are 60 day/ 3000p ,and 6 monthly/ 9000p , but u can only get 2 x 6 months in a 3 year period.
Lived in Cebu for 4 years , and still go at least once a year for a few weeks.
You might be in for a bit of a shock .. Paradise it ain't !
The girl you describe ..would be horrified and embarrassed to be seen with an old foreigner ..so hopefully you're a hot looking young hunk. ( With money! )..or Korean.

Why would you think that he hadn't had a drink prior to the competition ?Blimey, If one jug of beer killed him it must've been very strong stuff. I'm guessing it was liquor.
More than likely ,he was already well pissed up !

When they had similar dress code at Philippines BI offices ( until about 4 yrs ago ) .there used to be a guy renting out skanky track pants , outside the Mandaue Cebu office ..to pull on over your your beautifully tailored , expensive dress shorts ..:) ..I guess you have to start packing your things Kitten Kong ...or rethink your position and buy some damn pants before your next visa is needed!!!
Guys used to say .. " I'm not wearing long trousers in the Philippines " ..
But they soon came to heel when they couldn't get a visa extension.
Jomtien ..it appears from the OP is not totally banning all shorts ..just beachwear and abbreviated styles.

I think the whistling at the Moto taxi guy to try to get him to move, was equally bad ..if not worse.As a farang using f words in sentences towards motorcycle taxi guys is a big underestimation of their English comprehensions skills.

My thoughts ..Suggest the OP explain the purpose for the question. IE: Why do you think you want/need a lease with zero rent?
Perhaps although there is no requirement for monetary compensation ..they might want to list other conditions of occupancy ,such as , length of time, numbers of occupants , maintainence of property ..etc etc .

How about if he applies for a re entry permit ..will it come up then ?Nothing at a airport since they do not check for 90 day reports. The only thing the are interested in is your permit to stay date.
Presuming he wants to come back into Thailand ,and retain his current viss status.

My plan today is the buffet lunch at tiger park, 150 baht (thaiprice with pinkID) for a huge hotel style buffet lunch, and I know it will be full, of tourists arriving in buses. Hopefully I wont have to wait to long for a table.
Shhhh ! Don't tell everyone .. secret !

You can stay 3 yrs on a tourist/ temporary visa ( 9a I think ) .“There she will easily get a three year visa without bothersome financial hassles”
How? What kind of PI Visa? I researched living in Manila or Cebu for years and discovered the PI’s version of the Retirement Visa is more difficult to obtain the LOS.
Need to renew .. can get 6 monthly renewal s , at least 2 of those , and 60 day renewals ,up to 3 yrs ,then you must leave the country ( visa run ) ,and good for another 3 yrs .

Look you probably think you are doing someone a great service ,writing this stuff ..but , really , you are so far off the mark with some of it , im thinking you perhaps need to do some real boots on the ground research before posting this advice .Not all areas in Cebu are highly polluted. Best to check out yourself where is acceptable.
Mactan less traffic and pollution but often need to cross these 2 bridges that can be traffic..Also Cebu city near the new Robinson Galleria mall is not a congested area definitely better air then the innercity and with big roads besides the mactan channel its very comfortable there and your living right besides 2 big shopping malls..
Mactan , less traffic, less pollution .. Not the 3 years I lived there !

IT Park is not a private compound .. Never seen a guard on the entances from Salinas Ave ..had a gf working as a call center agent in there , was in and out picking her up regularly .IT park is a private compound with guards at all entrances therefore most jeepnies are not allowed to pass through it so there are way less Jeeps driving at IT park as in comparison the public roads!
Ayala doesn’t have better air quality than the Sm city/Robinson galleria area because that area runs right besides the huge and wide Mactan channel in case you haven’t notice that fact either after your 8 years living in Cebu duhhh..

Not to be pendantic ..but ..The poster has a serious question and your reply seems flippant, moronic and does little to address his query.
The poster did not ask a question, but was offering an answer to an unasked question.
And I agree with you ..that response was funny .

I wasn't too clear. I was talking about departing back to the US before my 90 days had expired in regards to verifying that my funds were still on deposit in the bank. Now I understand that except for one office it is currently not required in the other offices at this point. As for doing my 90 day report by computer how does one access the appropriate website and do you have to scan anything into the computer or use a flash drive to download something to send to immigration?
My understanding is that if you leave the country ,you are not required to do a 90 day report , and that your 90 day reporting period will renew in full on your arrival back in Thailand .. ( unless I have misread your question ).
Be sure to have a re entry permit .

A friend of mine was recently flown back to Vietnam ( his original point of departure) ,but they didn't want him because of the rejection stamp in his passport from Thailand.From the threads I have read (there have been few recently), you will be flown back to where you embarked. Meaning Japan.
You will be paying for flight ticket. The airline company will be along.
So they kept him confined until he could arrange a ticket to Italy , his home country.
When that eventuated, his flight went through Hong Kong ..guess what !
They also kept him confined until his flight to Italy was due to leave ..

So how do you get the part of the TM30 form ( the receipt I guess you could call it ) that you keep in your passport .1. The easiest thing to do is to apply online. The property owner will apply for a username and password that will allow them to login easily and register any guests or tenants that are staying on the property. The biggest drawback is that the online system is still very temperamental and it’s often the case that once applied they will not receive their login credentials. If you’re using the online system, it’s important that you receive a confirmation of the registration. (Online Site is down – Currently there is no answer as to when it will be back up and running)
So the online reporting system is not even working properly?? What a big Joke !
My landlord brought it back to me , I stapled in the back section.
Immigration officer usually visually checks it when I do a 90 day report.
I guess that only applies to people who have ongoing contact with the immigration office.

I've been to Bali TWICE (the first time and the last time, once in all actually). Really couldn't see any attraction to the place, beach included.
Like Muslim music?
Are you sure you were in Bali ?
Although Indonesia is the largest Muslim populated country in the world ... Bali is predominantly ( almost totally ) Hindu .
Though, that Balinese music ( not Muslim ) that you hear at temples and cultural events etc ..is excruciatingly awful !

Have you not noticed that every single vendor in Thailand uses a calculator, even for something as simple as 100 plus 50 baht?
I think it's fair to say that maths is not taught very well in Thailand, therefore most people cannot do the sums in their head to figure out which is the best deal.
But I've noticed , that the market vendors mostly only do that with me and other farang ,but verbalize the price to Thai customers , I think it's just a way to ensure that there is no mistaken communication about the price .

Malaysia bans Jennifer Lopez movie 'Hustlers'
in Entertainment
Posted
That movie review differs slightly from the one I read ..in that they just targeted specific Wall St guys ,and that it was a revenge motive .not sure what for ..
I guess I could watch it to find out .
It opens at cinemas on about the 26th , but is already available on my Android box movie app.
