New OZ Embassy in Wireless Rd reportedly cost $110 million to build! Must be a big one!

The equipment to spy out China will cost the biggest money? ????

Really ?
HE was diving ?
Should have been thinking about their nature before they let millions of Chinese and others destroy it.
But there is a word for it: Greed

OMG...

A million dollar work permit? Sounds great.

 

There must be loads of multi-millionaires out there who dream of getting a job in Thailand.????

Maybe Donny will apply for Thie-Land's president next year ? ????

If i have 1 Million USD to invest, I have a few better ideas where. ????

RACE? Like snails?

"This last week will be probably the most busy week ever" (or so)
What a surprise! Nobody did see this coming? Really?
An expired Non-B, now on amnesty. Sorry mate your status isn't different from the status of a tourist on amnesty.
So there wasn't enough time since April to find a solution until now? Congratulations !

Totally misleading title for this topic imo

 

i don't see any ''loophole'' to exploit, phuket immigration or not

for the ones stranded here and unable to extend their stay on a O visa

 

The new ''special tourist visa'' can be obtained only from outside of Thailand

and the precise requirments for the obtention haven't been precised yet.

 

The obtention of a letter by the embassy isn't a loophole, it's just an option

given to the ones really unable to travel back to their country of origin, and

it's only for 30 days. It's well know now and has not been discovered yesterday

by Phuket immigration.

 

Plus AFAIK the embassy letter option is available everywhere in Thailand, not only in Phuket.

 

At the moment nothing has been put in place for the ones unable to extend their

O visa because of the border closure nor for the ones not allowed to enter in Thailand

even if they have already a visa, for example the retirees single or not married oficialy

with a Thai.

 

It's a shame the priority is given by Thailand at the few ''Tourists'' under the STV

and all the usual long stayers are totally forgotten. 

Thai Visa likes missleading headlines more and more, to get us reading the advertisings that bring them money.
More clicks - probably more money ?

Thailand the world's visa hub.

They should make a survey in Western countries, to find out what Thailand is famous for and then rethink their plans again.

They go to play chess in man's room, coz woman was so wise! Whit bikini on!

She wanted to see his sixpack but got the sexpack.

Businesses set their employees on the road from one day to the other.
Same businesses received support from the government while the starving employees lined up for free food at the temples.
That's the truth...

Did these HiSo managers need half a year to start calculating their situation?

This unfit to fly certificate you can get at any clinic? Reminds me when I needed a health certificate for my driver's license. I went to a small clinic and told them that I need such a certificate. The lady at the reception said 100 Baht and after 10 Minutes I received it. I never saw the doctor. Is this the same with this certificate?

Doing so, i hope you never complain about corruption in Thailand!

yes, AND no posting the expense, another thai money grab based on spurious logic

Visa extensions are THB 1900 if they charge for .

So .. every 30d from September 26th the immigration offices will be packed and deserted in the meanwhile? Can't they just do the "amnesty" until further notice, with the 30 days at the end when travel normalizes, instead of creating bureaucratic mess.

Read the article again !

Just like any other Government in the World, at least in the UK we get a little cash help!

Companies who sent their employees away from one day to the other, they get financial support. Fair?

So how is it a 'largely inaccurate report', apart from the Police quote?

They didn't ask/tell how many expats and tourists are bribing the police or have crashes.

Start with (congenital) diseases like:
Stubborness
Lack of sense of responsibility
Addiction to speeding
Addiction to impress chicks
Handling of midlife crisis
