I meet all the financial requirements, my paperwork is all up to date.

Until the bridge to Laos is open I have no other choice but continue going to Yasothon.

I have lived here for 20 years, got the yellow house registration book but have never had problems like this.

Yes I am married to a Thai the point is 25,000 is a blatant rip off.

Who do I report these officers to. I know the actual costs.

The normal finances are not a problem.

My next trip is due in May.

Call it an extension, report or anything you want, readers know what I mean.

Because of the covid situation I’m no longer able to travel to Savannakhet.

I now go to Yasothon Immigration. I do or did have a multi entry extension.

On my last visit I was advised to get a Retirement Visa, only trouble is they want 25:000.00baht? You got to be kidding.

As this is a blatant rip off, who do I complain to? 

Normal 60 day report would for me has been 2,000.00baht.

Thanks

Hey Paul, what was the outcome of your June 1st appt at the hospital.......all clear I hope?

To be honest I didn’t follow through because of the corona virus situation.

Cheaper than ankle bracelet and the Thai authorities don’t have to pay.

Good on yer Boris, with your 2bn package for transport and getting to work programme. Free Push Bikes for every. Or did I get it wrong again.

Just watch your speed if your in Manchester or your liable to get tazed by the cops.

I will let you know on Monday 11th, I will do a part two on my original post.

Only time I can see a doctor. Many thanks for your thoughts.

Good news but at what extra price?

Why have u left it so long ??

Because I hate hospitals and have other underlying conditions.

I have had this growth growing on my head for some months now.

Has anyone got a sensible idea before I take my problem to a medical professional.

It is painful to touch and makes hair washing very uncomfortable.

Hey, google reader, what border did she cross to get them?

 

Beer is still readily available for many within Thailand, despite being barred, but our OP was about getting it in Savannaket (sic).

She didn’t cross any borders came from our local town.

Did they make you pay upfront?

No I pay at the end of the trip, one hour max on a bad day.

Are you a troll?

90 day reporting has nothing to do with a visa extension.

No I’m not a troll and with my multi entry O visa/extension a ninety day trip is required, but, as others have said it’s not possible under current conditions. For the other prat that replied I don’t live under a rock but in a rather nice house.

No problem enjoying a cold beer, I do as well, personally I'd have no problem with however much beer you want to bring back, my advise was genuine and 100% correct.

Looks like I won’t need to bother now as I said earlier just got 24 cans.

Of course none of this would arise if the on line immigration 90 day reporting system worked.

I hope they will arrest you at the border. 

Are you so addicted to alc that it's all what is in your mind? 

Where to get the next booze? ????

No I’m not addicted to alcohol just like a cold one while watching television. It was just a question and didn’t deserve a constant barrage of verbal abuse.

Supposing the border is open, have you investigated if Laos are allowing people in, do you have the COVID free certificate (valid for only 72 hours), the required 100,000 USD COVID insurance and a Thai work permit?

The restrictions on movement, especially foreigners, applies to the land borders as well as the airports.

Why the hell would I need any of that. I’m just crossing the border not actually going anywhere, just crossing the bridge and coming straight back to get another 90 day stamp. Work permit? What planet are you on.

Just to prove your all wrong except for certain locations my sister in law has just returned from Loengnoktha with 24 small cans of beer for me.

Have you missed the nationwide info about the closed borders to every neighbouring country? 

I watch the television and read google. Not seen anything about all borders being closed.

What I did see yesterday was that certain provinces were lifting the ban on alcohol on certain dates. Yasothon, Roiet and others were today 17th, we will see.

Did try but same as before.

Filled out online form, only problem I have is the TM6 number which is a required field. Where the hell is it?

Did try N/A and submit. Gone an immediate response saying contact your local immigration office for your province.

Maybe best to go back to plan 1 unless anyone can advise.
