  1. He sang the theme song to the Bond movie Spectre and generally accepted as a great singer. All this them/their/they BS is confusing, distracts from his abilities and only creates ridicule.
  2. @flexomike covered all the info you require, I did this process in Sept this year: Left Thailand without a re-entry permit therefore killing my OA retirement extension. Returned visa exempt (30 days ). Applied for an O visa after a few days . Applied for extension based on retirement. No insurance requirement. As @DrJack54 says; my funds have been in the bank for several years so no requirement to prove came from o/s ( this probably varies with location ).
  3. Hope you got your wife a nice cup for Christmas, like this one from the University of Northern Thailand .
  4. I’m also A- but at 61 unsure if I qualify for donation ?. Maybe the op is in Phuket ?
  5. Seems like a <deleted> poor article from an American based in England, kinda like those videos on Facebook where people are feigning surprise that things aren’t done the same all over the world
  6. But if you had read the thread you would see that this is a more specific case than “ when does 90 day start “ and not the answer you replied to.
  7. This is the key to my question. Some IO’s will use applying for Non imm O as the starting point while others will wait for the first extension, which is OVER 90 days, to enable the 90 days countdown. Makes no real difference just highlights the inconsistency in IO procedures. Thanks to all.
  8. I think the answer to my initial question is: None of those, but possibly c) ???? Entering on a visa exempt, obtaining an extension to that and applying for an O visa ………. none of these allow a stay of more than 90 days and therefore do not trigger the 90 days countdown , MORE being the key word ( although some IO’s might start the 90 day clock on applying for an O visa….. hence my c) comment above.) I indeed entered on Sept 2nd and my first 90 day report is due Feb 18th some 170 days since i entered Thailand but 90 days since i applied for retirement extension from the O visa ( Nov 21st ).
  9. Have you tried Lazada , these things are probably a standard size I would imagine.
  10. We bow to your infinite knowledge but you didn’t answer the question .
  11. So, after receiving some confirmation from another source, @DrJack54 is correct the 90 days clock only starts ( in the scenario of the op ) when permission to stay for MORE than 90 days is given.i.e an extension or first time entry with an OA visa for example. Indeed my first 90 days report ( from this new O visa) is scheduled 90 days from application of extension and needs to be done in person at immigration. Obviously subsequent re-entries on this extension will start the clock upon entry to Thailand. Of course there will be some variations on this by different IO’s, my friend got his 90 days due date notification on application of O visa while I got mine on application of extension from the O visa. Hell will of course freeze over before all IO’s are on the same page . My successful 90 days report online certainly threw me off course and only highlights the need for online reporting and immigration reporting to be consolidated imo ……… but that’s a topic for another thread.
  12. So if someone entered on a 45 day visa exempt, extended 30 days and after 15 applied for an O visa then an extension on day 80 of that O visa ?, that would be 45 + 30 + 80 that could be 155 days before the 90 days clock starts ? Not doubting you @DrJack54 as your post is what my immigration have done albeit in my case is less than 90 days.
  13. It should appear obvious from the dates in my passport you would think, but actually not so in my case. Entered Thailand Sept 2nd Applied for O Visa Sept 6th Applied successfully online for 90 days report Nov 22nd, since nullified by immigration as 1st report needs to be in person.
  14. As the title suggests a friend and myself are disagreeing on this matter, please clarify. In the case of someone entering on a 30 ( or 45 ) day visa exempt and applying for an O visa does the 90 days clock start on: a) The date of entry to Thailand b) The date of application for O visa or c) Varies from IO to IO TIA Andy
  15. The young couple in the condo next to mine are making a porno ……….. of course they don’t know that yet ????
  16. I also returned September 2nd and didn’t get a TM6, no problem on getting an O visa from 30 days exempt and retirement extension. 90 days report is based on 90 days consecutively in country, irrespective of what the re-entry stamp says. By my reckoning your 90 days report was due on November 30th.
  17. Doc Martin series from 2004 has 10 seasons ( 79 episodes ) , also a French version of the series with the same name. The movies are “ Doc Martin “ and “ Doc Martin and the legend of the Cloutie “ All episodes of the series can be found on fmovies. Not seen the movies anywhere for download or stream.
  18. I would assume the first picture is more recent as all the sales are down in the second. Expected MG to be further up the list with their ZS and EP EV’s , plus their recently released MG4 EV , maybe need to improve their freebies ?? Would like to see a bigger breakdown of car sales at the Motor Show.
  19. BYD coming in hot !! ( motor show orders 30 Nov - 7 Dec )
  20. Transferred some money from the U.K. at 6 pm last night, arrived at 2 pm today ….. 20 hours.
  21. Glad it all worked out well for you. As for immigration being busy !, well you do choose to live in paradise ????. Here in Ayutthaya it only gets busy when the resident monks or Japanese workers have to do their 90 days report or extension and in general it is quiet. Next week is my next visit to Immigration to, hopefully, pick up my extension stamp , feels like weeks I have been working on this ☹️
