Do they look like this? These are rice weevils. If recognized check your rice and pasta storage/boxes. Airtight containers recommended. 

 

Looks like you nailed it. Will tell her to checkout the rice and pasta area.

Once the rice/pasta is removed will the weevils move on?

Thanks.

only ants and bees have a queen as far as i am aware.
anyhow just call out its name "come over here slow crawling black thing, nice slow crawling black thing, pretty slow crawling black thing. etc"
then when it get within range hit it with a sledge hammer voila no more slow crawling black thing:)

Haha. They dont seem to speak English.

Actually they are about 3mm(millimeters), not 3cm.

Hi all,

My friend has a problem with a recent infestation of this insect on her kitchen counter/cupboard area.

She keeps her kitchen very clean, but the little invaders keep coming.

They are black color and about 3cm long. They crawl very slowly.

Anyone know what they are called and how to eradicate them?

Which insecticide/trap will kill the queen??

thanks.

Was that for first time ed visa application, or 2nd or 3rd year application?

My friends’ school told her that malaysia will only give ed visa for first year students, and then for second year she must go to Laos or manila to apply ed visa.

This from the Bangkok immigration website for doing a change of visa for investment. You need to be using IE or a browser with an extension to view them here: http://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/base.php?page=service#

6.1 Condominium title deed, which is in the Applicants name, and, in the particulars of registration, the Applicant must be the first purchaser;

6.2 A copy of the sale and purchase agreement of the condominium unit made by the Applicant and the project owner/company and a copy of the registration showing that the Applicant is the owner of the condominium unit, which is issued by the relevant agency or government authority;

That is unfortunate that it excludes re-sales. I was considering buying a resale and this now buggers-up my visa solution.

What is to stop someone from doing this?-

-depositing 10m in a thai bank, apply for visa extension and get, then withdraw the 10m baht the following day after they get the one year visa extension?

- Exit country at one year expiration, and fhen repeat the doposit/extension/withdrawal again each year going forward.

Thanks for further info.

Are you aware of anything official about a resale condo qualifying for the investment visa extension?

Are the extensions renewed easily if you continue to own the condo?

• No I'm not, but I don't see any reason why it has to be a new property. As far as I'm aware it's the purchase price that counts.
• Yes, but you effectively apply for a new extension of stay every year and would be required to show evidence of your investment each year.

Are you over 50?

Some folks have said condo must be brand new, but others say it doesnt matter if new or resale. How could i get clarity on this?

How can you show proof/evidence of continued condo ownership when going to renew the extension each subsequent year?

Visas and extensions of stay based on investment of a minimum 10 million baht are still available.

Thanks for the reply.

Any thoughts on the additonal questions added in the op regarding new vs resale condo, family inclusion, exit/re-entry?

You would enter the country with a single entry non immigrant visa. You would be granted permission to stay for 90 days. Within the last 30 (maybe 45) days you can apply for a 1 year extension of stay, as per Ubonjoe's post. Your family would also enter with non immigrant visas and once you are granted your extension of stay they can apply for an extension of stay as your spouse/children.

Traveling is no problem. You can exit/re-enter as often as you want, but each person traveling would need to buy a re-entry permit before leaving. On re-entry they'd be granted permission to stay for the remainder of the extension of stay.

Thanks for further info.

thanks again ubonjoe.

Anything offical about whether a resale condo qualifies? The police document doesnt specify new or resale.

Visas and extensions of stay based on investment of a minimum 10 million baht are still available.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi all,

Is there any recent official updates on whether or not the Investor Visa extension is still available for condo purchasers and/or fixed deposits totalling 10million baht?

Anyone here get granted the Investor Visa extension recently? How was your experience?

Does buying a re-sale condo qualify?

Does the visa also cover immediate family members as well(foreign spouse and children)?

Are you able to exit/enter Thailand as often as you want under a one year investor visa extension?

Thanks.
