  1. Please stop. It's not just about "disabled" I mentioned other considerations Such as funds trapped in Thai bank account. Granted a WILL is one solution. Using an agent is another. I never stated that I was disabled.. Well that's relative. I'm old and that will happen to you. Again suggest you pull your head in. Live and let live. Your earlier post re "lazy" etc is straight up insult. Actually surprised as most of your posts sensible
  2. You have a self centered view. Why does it trouble you so much. Today I did my trip to CW. Good news was obtained another 12 month extension based on retirement. I'm bit lucky in that have car and could obtain parking right in front of entrance. Being elderly and not good hip replacement it was a challenge. Had appointment but needed photos , photocopies etc. Also bank updates. Also needed to obtain bank statements the day prior. For me that was not easy. Another slightly unrelated is difficulty for my 10 year partner (no married) to access funds when I check out. May move to income method or even agent. Get off your high horse.
  3. There needs to be forum below even rubbish "Pub forum".. Not sure of best tag. Perhaps "scared of own shadow" Or "Im overactive and suffer from panic attacks"
  4. Oh thanks .... I was so unaware of that option. You mean the reentry permit desk at BKK zone 2 just prior to passport control and reentry permit desk at DMK just after passport control . Ta
  5. Just bumping your thread as you did not receive a reply. A letter from the school would be useful to explain upon reentry how you are to spend time outside Thailand with an ED visa Discussed here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1260289-exit-and-re-entry-w-1-year-edu-visa/
  6. No. 90 day report date becomes irrelevant upon leaving Thailand. Ignore any report reminder. When you reenter your clock restarts and your new due date is 90 days from reenter date.
  7. You are the one that is kidding. Thailand has many options regarding visas. For 5/6 months stay you could obtain a METV. This visa provides permit of 60 days which can be extended by 30. For 6 month stay you could do , 60 + 30 then spend a weekend in say Saigon where being UK you are visa exempt entry. Reenter Thailand for another 90 days. Sorry it's all so tough. Not.
  8. No. When you do an extension you are given a "permission of stay" To exit Thailand and keep that "permission of stay" you need to buy a reentry permit. If you plan to make more than 3 trips outside of Thailand then multi is better than single reentry permit. Single 1000b Multiple 3800b Same TM8 form you just tick multi of Singles box
  9. Both BKK and DMK office is AFTER security. BKK office is before passport control. Office Zone 2 left hand side. DMK the office is just past passport control. You can see the office as you are being stamped out.
  10. https://aseannow.com/topic/1264956-pattaya-visa-agent-recommendation/
  11. I do it regularly to give folk benefit of doubt. As you are aware there is option to view post from someone on ignore Most often they reenforced my original opinion. As you have. Bye
  12. Most likely answering PM stuff as I do daily and I misunderstood the post in question. Previously had you on ignore .... Then changed that as noticed some helpful replies from you. Goodbye.
  13. If you read the few posts after that I apologized to the max. Read the post in the opposite way. And the guy I quoted accepted my mistake. OK by you..,... On 10/2/2023 at 7:27 PM, DrJack54 said: Apologies to the max. Somehow earlier I read your post that with a visa every country does NOT have the right to refuse entry Of course every country has the right to refuse entry with or without Visa. "Reply from guy I misunderstood" Expand All good, brother. We are on the same page, now.
  14. Incorrect. Not going to fish out all the old threads but have been several. Particularly at BKK and DMX airports around 2019 and yes they had tourist visa etc. Granted it's not common.
  15. I will chip in if part of the deal is no posting on AseanNow for Mr ". turning Japanese I really think so "
  16. 90 report not required to obtain multi or single reentry permit
  17. OP, at immigration office you can obtain it anytime prior to exit. At airport obtained at time of departure. Be aware that CW currently has long queues without appointment
  18. At the time someone (one of the mods) started a pinned thread to to give the sad news and folk a chance to pay tribute. It was incredible to read those posts and realize how universally he was admired and respected.
  19. Why not. If your 65k+ transfers are genuine then just show immigration your bank book with photocopies. You do realize the funds can be withdrawn. Note; some immigration offices may require banks statements.
  20. OP, as already mentioned METV is an option to obtain about 9 months. With couple of visa exempt border runs you could make a year. Then time for ring.
  21. Granted reasonably quick if married. Many are not. Me same lovely partner for 11 years not married. Her access to my 800b+ held in Thai bank account in my name only is an issue. A WILL is one option
  22. Off topic ...however many farang here think their long term partner/wife can use ATM to withdraw funds upon farang checking out. Get away it? Perhaps. illegal? Yes
