18 minutes ago, Jeffrey346 said:KK Immigration is fast. Usually in and out in under 30 minutes.
IO have always been pleasant to deal with..
Wow. Our experiences are dramatically different. I have not had a "bad" or corrupt experience at KK but I have only once been out of KK's immigration office in under 30 minutes. When I did my last 90 day report (Monday), I decided to time the two officers working and it was 30+ minutes later for each of the cases they were working. The odd thing was ... they weren't questioning the people ... just going through the huge folder of paperwork and stamping things. I think one of the officers was literally stamping for 5 minutes ... then had to get up and find a different stamp. They really need to do away with some of these useless forms, copies and stamps if they actually want to improve things.
BTW ... the officers were polite and professional but just too few officers, a lack of efficiency, and too much paperwork.

I haven't had a problem donating blood in Khon Kaen. For the people who were rejected. Was any reason given? Were you rejected right off the bat or did you fill out the survey? Example.... Mad cow disease risk
- You have spent 3 cumulative months in the UK from 1980 – 1996.
- You have spent 5 cumulative years in Europe from 1980 – present.
If you answer yes to those questions on the survey the red cross will reject you not because you are a Farang ... but because you answered the question yes and hence are considered a risk to the blood supply.
That said ... it wouldn't surprise me if the odd nurse/volunteer rejected people for their own reason.

As I read the original article it looks like he had a certified criminal record check from his country of origin but was refused because he didn't also have a Thai criminal record check. I was under the impression that it was necessary to show a criminal record check from either the original country of origin or Thailand. While I think that it should be both for people who have been teaching in Thailand for the previous year, I was only asked for the US background check when I changed my visa last year in Laos and when I extended it this year.

would anyone happen to know when i apply for a METV in person and pick it up in person, does it take 5 days or is it less? i'll be heading to D.C. soon and i need to start planning
I did not use DC but the Consulate in NYC was quick. I dropped it off Friday morning and picked it up on Monday after 1 pm. No issues or wait whatsoever. My total time in the consulate, over two visits, was under 10 minutes.

Riding on a red plate would have been an improvement on my experience. "You don't need a plate. Just don't leave the province" was what the dealer told me. After I bugged the dealer every week for three months, they finally took care of it.
BTW ... New vehicle, I paid cash, and provided all the documentation up front. I don't know what the hold up was but there were a couple of subtle hints that they could take care of a problem with the paperwork for a small fee. /roll eyes.
