I had the same problem a few years ago, Chiangmai immigration processed my application early, however my wife had to write a letter asking them to do it. It wasn’t a problem Cnx immigration were very helpful. 

Nice to see you back. 

Pre Covid I  was asked where my wife was and I pointed  to where she was sitting, that was enough the didn't speak to her.

I can’t help with your signing in problems but I’ve had to phone them a couple of times and I use Skype it costs pennies.

I'd like the Vaccine Passport because my Certicate has my name in Thai only and my id number. The computer system in the hospital where I had my vaccine wasn't able to enter my name in English and required a 13 digit number in the id field so weren't able to enter my passport number. Trying to avoid any problems at the airport and immigration.

I have the same problem , however they used the ID number of my Pink Card in addition my Nationality is now apparently Thai. When I suggested to my Wife that we go and get me a Thai National ID card I got the look that is reserved for my most stupid moments. 
 

I was also at BigC Hang Dong the whole procedure took about ten minutes. We arrived at 1530 and were met by an American volunteer who was translating for those who needed it, he asked if I had the much maligned Pink Card which I did.  We were told we were next and shown which desk to go to. 
 

The Thai gentleman at the desk was polite and helpful in addition to processing my appointment (July the 1st) he also printed off the details of my wifes appointment which she had previously done using the line app last week. 
 

Come by all means but firstly spend some time improving your spoken and written Thai, particularly the written Thai for work. Also while a WAFU will be welcomed us crabs are already here. 

Interesting comment about the Pad Kaprao, would that be with or without a fried egg?

I picked up my annual extension today 22 Oct  from Cnx immigration It was dated to 31 Oct 2021.

There have been multiple news reports recently criticising the different approaches taken to COVID restrictions by Westminster and the devolved governments, suggesting that this was creating a confusing picture. It is weak and lazy reporting such as this which is creating confusion.

 

Northern Britain means the north part of Scotland, where Johnson's government has no say in COVID response. Any changes to restrictions would be devised and announced by the Scottish government, not the British government. I suspect that the author means Northern England, where Johnson has authority to mandate a response.

 

Possibly the confusion arose because the Times is outsourcing their journalism to India.

 

 

My first thought.

Exactly the same thing happened to me this morning at cm immigration. Told me to wait it out till next week when an announcement comes in. 

Hi I had the same conversation at CM this PM, I left with the impression that it will be extended but they don’t know how long for. 

Take a few spares with you, then you’ll have a change when they start to get hot and wet from breathing.

You may  need a Myanmar visa to do it. I have received 2 message saying they are not doing border passes and requiring a visa to do the crossing. You can get a e-visa for Myanmar. https://evisa.moip.gov.mm/?fbclid=IwAR3KQUg-4C-SDTRCm-rmID65KxPNxWq8zX6aMg-D9kqfippic5JZ1NW4YBA

Joe thanks for that we didn’t go, I’m going to do an annual extension instead. I was leaving it till later in the year as it would coincide with our yearly trip to the UK, however it now seems to be the best option. 
Again thanks 

Doug. 

I’ve also had my 60 day extension (marriage) however I’m going to Mae Sai tomorrow a month early just in case. We were due to fly to Scotland on the 2nd of June however Finnair have cancelled the flight so we’re just going to sit it out here.

Single entry Non O (Marriage) is the only one available.

 

I just got one at the Glasgow consulate, Kay Wishart who looks after the process accepted my documents as scans attached to an email and then sent them electronically to London.

 

Applied on a Monday, approval from London took two days.

 

Visa was issued by appointment on the Thursday.

 

I find the service at the Glasgow consulate is excellent, Kay also advised me to call or email before applying each time as the goalposts may have moved.

Unfortunately the money is still in my UK bank so it will still be a run to Savannakhet and start all over again. Never mind we have been needing an excuse to get away and see some friends on the road to the border. 

Thanks for your help it is much appreciated.

Joe got a bit of luck and there was someone coming who brought the cash. A quick visit Chiang Mai imegration 30 mins saw me with my 60 day extension. Thanks again and also CMI good service by them.

As a vietnam veteran the wearing of all of these medals and regalia really annoys me.!! I recently saw a ceremony where Prince Charles and his sons were in attendance, 

and Prince Charles was wearing his medals on the left side of his chest as far as I am aware, you were medals you have earned on the left side of your chest and any

medals that have belonged to relatives of yours are worn on the right side of the chest. Can someone tell me if Prince Charles was in the military and did he actually

earn those medals.?

Charles was a naval officer he commanded a minesweeper for a couple of years. His medals are not all military some are orders of chivalry.

The money only has to be in the bank for 2 months on the date you apply for the extension. The 3 months rule is only for extensions based upon retirement.

You could apply for a 60 day extension to visit your wife and then the one year extension unless you have gotten one on the entry you are on now.

This would have been my 3rd yearly extension, would a 60 day extension be ok as i thought the funds had to be in for 3 months and my extension expires 11th May.

A combination of money in the bank and income is not allowed for an extension based upon marriage.

Thanks for your reply as I've messed up it looks like a run to Savannakhet is on. I forgot to top up my account so the cash will not have been in long enough.
