You had to of completed a TM7 form in Jomtien when you applied for your new extension of stay (it is not a visa) there.

You wrote this. 

A TM47 form is only  for 90 day reports.

Nope, never filled in a  TM7 form, never seen one 

the form i was given by I O has no number on 

I always fill in the TM47 when applying for 90 day reporting 

So do i need copies of passport, copy of visa, photos, or do i just walk in with a passport like my friend does ?

1.  You obtained an extension of stay making Jomtien your new home.

2.  House owner in Nakhon Phanom should have filed a TM30 when you returned to make it your new(old) home.

3.  Now that form needs to be filed and then you can then file 90 day report as staying there.

4.  You friend likely had a current TM30 on computer file.

5.  They may let you file the TM30 but may require ID and home register and there could also be a fine involved.

If he possibly has one on file, why do i not have one ?  I have done my 90 day reporting for the last 5 plus years there

He gets his extension every year in Jomtien, while on holiday, but has never filled any forms in, never provided copies or photos either

why would there be a fine involved ? 

I D from whom ? , \

Home register ?

They have many maps to find house, have many many papers with my address on , all they need to do is look on their computer to find all this

What address was on the TM7 application form you completed.

 

Maybe they had already had a T30 form submitted before.

TM7 ? filled in TM 47 only

And no, the old falang has never filled any paperwork to get his 90 day, this was the first time in over 8 years  he had to do it, with the staff filling it in for him

When you did the extension at Jomtien that changed you address to there.

Immigration is wanting a TM30 form to change your address back to Nakhon Phanom .

But no address was asked for, or given in Jomtien 

And why would this only apply to me, not the other falangs ? 

so can i fill in the TM 30 form, although i cannot see the number TM 30 on the form i was given

Or must i get any thai person to fill in the form ?

thats what i thought, but my friend, who got same extension in Jomtien, had no problem getting his 90 day

They  have my address on file, for the last 5 plus years, so seems stupid to have to re register my address, but as so often it seems they are unable to use the computer to check my status

Just a passport.

 

But if you tried to do it at the wrong office, one you are not registered with due to where you live, you will have problems.   

This was at my local immigration office, so should have been no problems

Seems they don't like you getting a visa in another province , so then be awkward on the 90 day report

But could not understand why my mate got his, without much bother 

Hi there

wonder if someone can clarify the paperwork, visa, etc, needed for a 90 day report, in person at local immigration office

Turned up this morning with passport, copies of visa page and main page, photo and then filled in the TM 47 form as directed in office

goes to desk when my turn, pass all the papers, etc, through to I O. 

She takes one look at my annual retirement visa, which , due to holidays, virus, was issued in Jomtien, rather than my home town of Nakhon Phanom ,then started to complain about the visa, saying Pattaya, not here. Then she pushes my paperwork back across the desk and tells me i need Thai person to fill in another form, The form is for House master, owner or possessor 

 I showed her the immigration site, which only show the TM 47, passport, etc, with no mention of needing thai 

She refused to explain why, and just walked away and called the next person

The next person was a falang friend, who managed to get someone to fill in the TM 47 for him, but has no copies, no photo, etc, but had a visa again from Jomtien. Np [roblems for him, no additional forms, juyst a quick stamp and done

Question

Is there any requirement for the Thai person to fill in forms for a 90 day report ?

Is there any requirement for someone to renew their annual visa in their home province ?

If i don't have thai lady, how can i get thai to fill in the additional forms

Can i go to another province , with new address, and do my 90 day there ?

Thanks for any advice,

Initially I'm going with CV joint(s). The friend needs to drive at 65 kph in all gears and see if it happens in all gears. Ie at what engine speed vs wheel speed.

 

thanks

i'm sure it was doing it in all gears, below 65 kph, but stopped when going at higher speeds 

He took me to town last week, 45km and nearly drove me crazy with the constant juddering and gear changing, cos he hates going fast

Would CV joints cause juddering ? Stop/start type of juddering, rather than side to side wobbling 

Think it best to just go to Toyota and let them take it for test drive, hopefully they will find and cure the fault

Thanks again

It could be something as dire as transmission failure or something as simple as tire/wheel problems. How is tire wear....very uneven, when is last time you had wheels balanced ?

Not sure, but he keeps it well serviced, so i assume the tyres are ok

But its not balance, No wheel wobble just judders . Not sure how wheels could cause this sort of juddering

Sounds like it’s the clutch, might be contaminated or just worn. Not too expensive to replace 

thanks for the replies

I thought it might be clutch, but would this correct itself when increasing road speed to about 70 kph and still accelerating ?

Electronic ignition, or carb ?

Hi there

posting for a friend who has and oldish Vios, petrol, manual, high mileage

When driving below about 65 kph the car keeps juddering, but when speed increases beyond about 65, the juddering stops

The juddering is almost like when in too high a gear and trying to pull away, ready to stall, but not so bad as that

He has taken it to his local garage, who checked, then said , no can do, but would not say why

Took it to second small garage, same reply

Was thinking it may be better to take it to the Toyota main dealer for repair ?

Would appreciate and advice and possible reasons for the juddering, and your views on Toyota main dealer garage 

would be good to know the problem and explain this to the garage, rather than a vague, "juddering" 

Neither of us know much about cars, and not really worked on a car for many years, in the days when you could actually see what you were doing and did not need special tools or computers

Thanks for reading and any advice would be much appreciated

not correct, after the age of 70 you have to renew your license every 3 years and declare you are fit and healthy to drive.

 

https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/travel-hobbies/driving/

does this apply to Thailand too, or can you keep "driving" till you die here ?

is a Buddha statue a work of art ? 

Is it an antique if not old ?

Most Buddhas i see are mostly modern tat, not valuable art or antique

<deleted>, why in the name of common sense does anyone need a personal vehicle with an internal combustion engine anymore.

Explain that to me and I will be sad about a car manufacturer that goes out of business.

Automobile production is out of hand everywhere, sucking the money out of peoples wallets, making them lazy and fat, and ruining the air that we all breath.  Manufacturers of cars, the oil companies, and the insurance companies are all laughing their way to the bank on how they got everyone addicted to their products 

i take it you don't live in a small village, miles from anywhere, with very limited and uncomfortable bus service, like millions of other people do. Those are the people who need cars and trucks, For me its 30k round trip for a carton of milk, 90k for a Tesco or makro. You think we should walk instead of drive ??

Had cheese on toast for my tea yesterday.

My cooking skills consist of toast, fried eggs, bacon, cheese on toast, or microwaved porridge. 

Anything else, have a lady to do it ( when she feels like it) lol

Pretty sure I got a fake Windows installed, I paid 1000 ThB.

 

I have now permanently a banner ( On screen right down )  with the mention =

 

" Activate Windows ".

 

But I am still able, so far, to work without any problems.

Thanks Lucky. will try and see if i can get a code, but if not, maybe live with the banners if necessary. Just surprised that a supposedky reputable shop would not install an original one. Would go back and give them a piece of my mind, but would be wasting my time here i think

OP, I would guess that the shop you purchased your computer from 'helped' you out by installing an image on your HDD/SSD. Did you also receive Microsoft Office, Photoshop, etc? This is/was pretty standard and most people didn't realize it is breaking the rules. I even know some people that are adamant that MS Office comes installed with a windows installation, because they have always had an image installed when getting a new computer.

 

A lot of these shops base their images on an Enterprise version of the OS; this will activate automatically without keys needed or KMS tools, hence the reason they use it. The downside of this is that most enterprise copies only validate for 180 days, then they need to be re-activated which seems to be true in your case. If you open a command prompt (type cmd into search and enter, or windows key + r and type cmd into the run box) and type slmgr /xpr, this will show you the validation of your OS; the example below is from one of my machines, you'res will be different.

 

 

To confirm which version of Windows you are running, type sysinfo into search and click on the System Information entry. This will open the sysinfo module and show you everything about your computer, similar to below. You will see which OS and version you are running.

 

 

Now, I am not 100% sure about this, but I believe you can't just buy a cheap key and change that key on an enterprise version of windows. (Perhaps someone could clarify this?). If that is the case, best scenario is to backup all your data, get a cheap key and download a clean ISO copy of the version you want from MS and build an installation USB with something like Rufus and do a clean format. Note that if you do this, you will not be able to transfer any third party software without their installation media.

 

Going a different route, there are many, many ways to 'activate' windows OS. Can't discuss here as it is against forum rules, but Google is your friend........

 

Good Luck.

Thanks Chris

I bought the computer around 3 years ago, so not sure how this ties in with the 180 day ?

Will look at the rest 

If a new computer bought here, can i insist on the actual sealed disc of Microsoft Windows  and install it myself ? Do they do that here ?

Always used to get discs when buying in Uk, and kept these safe if required later, but never gave it a thought here

I suspect you have a fake copy of windows, Win 7 or Win 10,

you can buy very cheap Win10 licenses off Ebay UK, 

£2.95, I have bought a few and they all work.if you already

have Win 10 installed, just validate with license number.

regards worgeordie

Thanks 

So they issue you with fake copies when you buy a computer from a large shop here in Thailand ?

What happens if i don't buy, get a number ? 

Thanks to all 

Finally got it replaced

i phone shop said no have battery, too old !

Second I Phone shop said can do, 6,000 baht, need 2 days

Thanks again to all

That's a load of guff. All banks need you to go to the branch you have the account to make changes like passport update or signature updates. The op needs to make the journey or open a new account nearby.

yes, but why ?Everything is now done on computers. They can upload your account details, your statements, etc, in seconds, in any branch, so why the need to go possible halfway across the country for no reason .

Stupidity and jobsworth at its finest 

had the same problem with her indoors telephone. Kept getting bills for an old phone she had canceled long time ago, kept getting told, had to go to branch where she buy/open it. After asking why, when i could see all the details on his computer, i gave up, told him to stick it where the sun don't shine and walked out. never heard anything since . But wouldn't advise this at a bank, lol

Hi there

Started getting a pop up telling me my windows is expiring soon

Says I ned to validate ? supply number? 

The windows came with the machine, around 3 years ago, so have no idea what, or how to provide the information

Any ideas ??

If I ignore, what will happen , Just not receive updates ?

Any help and advice would be much appreciated

Thanks
