what amazes me is that so many of these Lycra team colours are dark and do not reflect, so they are riding without the protection of hi viz.  A bit stupid really. Saw a chap yesterday on his bike  in all black?  Cool looking but hardly appropriate. 

what about thais on motorbikes with no lights?

You must enter with a Non-Immigrant visa. Then extend your stay for at least 3 consecutive years.

Thanks. So it is very poorly worded saying I must have had  a Non O for at least 3 years before submission. Why not just state you need 3 consecutive extensions. That me out then as I have no intention to do extensions whilst they say I have to leave 400k in bank, not worth it.

According to official site it states :

• You must have had a Thai non-immigrant visa for at least three years prior to the submission of your application. Holders of multiple NON-Immigrant visas can not apply. You must have 3 consecutive yearly extensions in order to qualify.

So does this mean I could apply after 3 consecutive years with a Non O based on marriage obtained from Savannakhet for example? The statement is a bit confusing as it says holders of multiple Non O visas cannot apply? What does that mean?

It also states you must have 3 consecutive yearly extensions.

So does that mean you can have either 3 consecutive extensions or 3 consecutive Non O visas ?

I think it will be a WP1 unless you are extending an existing work permit.

Your employer should check with the local work permit office to confirm which form will be needed.

Thanks. Its a bit complicated as my employer is not in Thailand I have to do this myself as I am dins a project in a Thai Govt hospital. I have invitation from director of hospital etc explaining my role and the project is managed by a Distributor for my company and I train them.

OK, silly question, how can you get the online to display english? 

I fudged my way through in thai.

I initially registered 8 months ago and was refused username and password by Prachinburi, re registered myself 4 weeks ago, checked status and for 2 weeks it sated waiting for confirmation email, which I never got so could not reply. Called help line, they said they will resend. Checked status this week, systems said not found !! I dissapeared, so called them again, they could not find either. I told them I spoke to you last week !! Next bit amazed me, they asked my name, address, passport number then added me and gave me username and password on the phone !! So I just did my first tm30 lol 

Hi.

I am about to get my 2nd non o ME from Savannakhet then need to get a WP quickly.

Which form do I use wp1 (tor 1) or wp9 (tor 9)?

Good luck getting your GF a visa to oz or UK or US or anywhere outside of asia unless they pass strict visa requirements which most wont

Trouble is many people meet the thai requirements, get awarded a visa only to be refused by IO.

If you are a permanent resident you do not need to file a TM30 or do 90 day reporting.

having a yellow book does not make you a permanent resident.

Yes, i wrote about that here before somewhere. Reason being if u are the registered housemaster the system at the airport doesn't log your tm30 out so you are still registered. 

 

Of course i got only naysayer replies, including mods here, but now u have it from immigration source too. ???? 

 

 

So much for the systems aren't connected, they are.. And revenue department sooner or later too. 

No you still have to fill in TM30, I have yellow book pink id card and still got a fine when I extended, it all depends on the IO office you go to. If you have no need to visit immigration or visitors from abroad they wont know if you filed in or not.

You should have been given permission to stay until Sept 9th, if you entered June 12th = 90 days.

 

The period of visa validity is different from the period of stay.  Visa validity is the period during which a visa can be used to enter Thailand.  In general, the validity of a visa is 3 months, but in some cases, visas may be issued to be valid for 6 months, 1 year or 3 years.  The validity of a visa is granted with discretion by the Royal Thai Embassy or Royal Thai Consulate-General and is displayed on the visa sticker. 

 

On the other hand, the period of stay is granted by an immigration officer upon arrival at the port of entry and in accordance with the type of visa.  For example, the period of stay for a transit visa is not exceeding 30 days, for a tourist visa is not exceeding 60 days and for a non-immigrant visa is not exceeding 90 days from the arrival date.  The period of stay granted by the immigration officer is displayed on the arrival stamp. 

 

You can apply for a marriage extension (not a Visa) up to 30 day (45 at some IO's) prior to your current permission to stay date.

You'll need a single re-entry permit for your HK trip 28th June.

Another for your UK trip July 28th - Aug 5th.

 

personally, I would apply for the marriage extension after returning from the UK.

Do not leave the Country after your permission to stay has expired, but you are still waiting for your marriage extension.

 

You are only required to submit a 90 day report if staying 90 consecutive days in Thailand.

The re-entry date counts as day 1 in the count.

After each re-entry you should file a new TM30.

Cool thanks. Think I will wait until after return so will do 2 single re entry permits then eitheir apply for BOI Smart T is contract signed or extension based on marriage , then for future trips get multi re entry once on extension,

do you need police check and medical certificate if applying of a non o multi entry from Laos?

Thanks. My visa expired 14th June but y stamp is until september 3rd. I plan to return from uk arrive 5th August so I could get a single re entry to keep my stamp until sept 3rd so I assume even though visa is exempt I can still apply for extension as staped in until sept? Can I apply before leaving for UK as technically visa expired?

Also if I had extension, and I leave before 90 day reporting, do I not then have to report? I am pretty sure I will never be in thailand for 90 days in one stretch hence my question about reporting.

 

Think I found answer on reporting ???? looks like if i leave before 90 days, then it resets on re entry so I guess I get a multi re entry permit and not likely to require reporting:

REMINDERS TO THE THAILAND MARRIAGE VISA HOLDERS:

• 90-day Reporting

  This is needed once you obtain a marriage visa. Notification with the nearest Immigration office about your current address or residence is required every 90 days.

  If you are not in the country when the report is due, the counting of 90-day period before your next reporting will start again after upon re-entry to Thailand.

• Re-entry Permit

  If you plan to travel in and out of Thailand during the year of your visa validity, you will need a multiple re-entry permit to do so and to avoid your visa from getting cancelled. Otherwise, you need not apply if you plan to stay in Thailand the whole time.

  In case you find the need to leave the country for whatever reason, you can apply for a re-entry permit at the nearest Immigration Office or at the international airport before leaving the country.

You should have permission to stay until Aug 9th then.

If you plan to travel twice during those dates, you can obtain two single re-entry permits rather than a multiple entry (1,000 single, 3,800 multiple)

On return from the UK (no date supplied) you could also apply for a 60 day extension.

 

Marriage extensions are not granted on the same day as application.

You'll be granted a 30 day under consideration stamp whilst your application is pending approval.

If you travel frequently you need to take that into consideration.

OK, I was hoping to have applied and got a BOI Smart T visa by now but the King has not signed contract for medical equipment yet so thats looks to have stopped that plan ????.

I had a non o based on Marriage from Savannakhet which expired 14th June. I re entered June 12 so got another 90 days taking me to september.

Is it possible to get an extension of stay based on marriage at CW and if so would I need multiple re entry permit as I travel frequently? I have bank book showing sufficient funds ad have all marriage certs, id's ready. If so what would be earliest I can do as I am travelling to HK June 28 and UK July 8th?

I guess I could get a multi entry re entry for those trips and apply for extension in August?

Pneumatic tyres are unbelievably crap. Thry pushing on soil in the wet !! I bought one "only had yellow" from thaiwatsadu recently with inflated, much better, the barrow materiel thickness determined by colour, red thickest green thinnest. This store is closets to UK diy store type, others are pretty crap and will try to sell you anything except what you actually want. Meggahome is like being attacked by mosquitoes when you walk in.

Dont forget to spread and mix chicken shit with sand and bags of DIN ie soil before laying.

Bike position. Saddle slightly tilted but also look saddle height, at stem length and handlebar height. Google is your friend for bike set up.

Hi.

While my house is being built I am going to install some irrigation for 10 rai so I don't get involved with the build ????

To save time on doing calculations and trawling the net for many products hoping some guys here already did this and can advise.

I already had a bore hole drilled and have constructed a 60000l tank beneath my workshop.

I have connected pipes to 2 houses a shop and workshop to gather rainwater and plan to use the well to keep tank full during dry season.

I read some posts about float switches and their rating, has anyone tried multi level switches? Links ?

I plan to use low level to control inlet pump from hole and to switch off irrigation pump (guess I need a flow switch to protect from dry running? ) anther level a bit above this to restart the irrigation pump, and a high level one to switch the irrigation pump to pump to a fish pool so I don't get flooded in workshop..

Plane to use solenoid valves.

So if anyone has suggestion on a multilevel float switch to connect to controller? I could but 3 separate ones I guess.

Next any ideas on size/best pump? Plan to irrigate about 10 rai and pop up sprinklers for lawn in front of house.

Looing at a rainbird multizone controller, is this best option or others as good/cheap?

Plan to run 63mm main runs with sprinklers on 25mm.

Advice welcome.

I was the same when i looked at the turf here, couldn't believe how rubbish it was compared to normal UK stuff.

But after laying it on decent soils and sand base, with lots of watering, it became a decent lawn in the end. Got a few bad patches in the hot areas, but they came back with watering. The only thing i find is under the trees get too wet in the wet season, so lose these areas, and then have to water like mad to get it back in the dry season

But worth the work, nobody else has grass and flowers in the village and the locals love to stop and look at the crazy house, "Just like a park" they say

Well it does not look bad although it is very difficult to get an even surface so still fillin gin with sand to even it out.
