Tesla to Open its First Service Center in Thailand
FruitPudding replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
They start at 1.7 million. I think that's pretty much in-line with prices in the West. -
Alcohol ban in Thailand on June 3 for Visakha Bucha
FruitPudding replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Sipping on a nice frosty Chang in downtown Bangkok...... there's beer if you know where to look, fellas. ???? -
This seems to be the big question. Haven't seen any solid facts on that. It seems the courses that were previously accepted for the full license pre-2020, are now no longer enough and the tests must be done as well. Who knows if it applies to all education degrees, diplomas, and certificates? And the big question is: how many years before they decide scrap this dumb test (again)?? So then, we can just apply with education certificates again, lol.

Visa "run" - Combodia by flight
FruitPudding replied to Davthefrog's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Really, already? That's great. Do they accept the Mor Prom app certificate, or do you need a special certificate? -

Wow, ok, so Cambodia just requires the visa and that's it? -

Wouldn't Malaysia be easier, don't they do free visa on arrival? -
Great things are opening up. Seems like Cambodia is the easiest still?

Looking for advice on visa run
FruitPudding replied to sleepwalker999's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is Phom Phen still the easiest? Laos still tour only? I think Malaysia is opening, right? -
Sorry, I don't understand this now. So, what's the 50k for? Sorry, if I have missed something. I am a parent of a Thai. Currently, on an extension based on that. So, if my understanding is correct, I could extend that using my 40k income (which I have had legally for over a year)? I was just looking to switch to a work extension cos it is easier than taking my family over to immigration n all that. I just got confused when they started asking for my finances cos I have done work extensions in the past and finance doesn't come into it. Thanks for your help.

The 400,000 lump sum, I don't have anymore, so I would need to use my salary. I would just prefer to be on a work visa (it's just my preference) as it is far less hassle than lugging my young family and complaining GF to immigration; always a stressful time. I thought it would be straight forward to switch.
-
Exactly, I thought I was asking them to change me to that kind of extension. Even though my salary does meet the requirements to remain on the family extension, I'd just rather be on a regular work extension cos it makes everything simpler and less stressful (without involving my family) by just doing it through the school.

I have a strange problem on this topic. I actually tried to do this today in Bangkok. I tried to do an extension based on work (previous extensions were based on child, done at an immigration office in another province). The officer said that in addition to all my work documents (which are correct), they also need me to bring my child's ID card & birth certificate and also my bank statements for a whole year (actually 15 months cos they want to see the financials I used to do my extension based on child at the other province). So weird, right? I went to change my extension to work and they are holding me on the financial requirement for a family extension which shouldn't even come in to it for a work extension. I can't get my head around it. Any ideas why this would be? I mean, I have over 40k coming in from my work, so it shouldn't be a problem -- hopefully.

I wonder was there a test in 2020, or 2021? Was it two years they didn't offer a test? If so, I wonder if that could be grounds for requesting a 5th waiver for those who need it. Because it seems unreasonable that they changed the rules in the 2020 and then don't offer a test for us to comply with the rules.
-
Thank you for your info. May I ask, what year did you finish your education degree, diploma, or certificate? I think those who finished their education qualification from 2020 onwards need to take the test.
-
I think everyone graduating in education post-2019 has to take the test now. I don't think the course matters. Or maybe someone else knows? If you do an M.Ed are you expect from the test?
-
It is too late to apply for these ones now. We have to wait for the next dates to be announced
-
I wonder if it is possible to get additional waivers (e.g. a 5th waiver) while waiting for the test (assuming you already have a post-grad diploma in education or higher)?
-
There is a test in February. Anyone going for it?
