With CM Immigration rules and regulations changing with the wind, it makes me wonder just who is the ringleader of this circus.

Seems BJ,s improvements were not as popular as made out!

Would you care to share it with me, unless you were being facetious?

 

Something to do with safe operation of a vessel or perhaps you figure he was  a captain with an airline. Facetious too big a word for me !

Have I missed something obvious here - what has a captain's licence to do with riding a jet ski?

Yes you have!

These should be stapled into your passport which is required, of course. I always assume such things might be required so make my own passport copies and include every page (with something on it). If you have a computer, it's a good idea to scan every page and combine into a PDF file and update any changes. If you have a printer, copies are easy to do when needed.

If you live in Phuket too busy for that!

Your getting all confused,good agent does it all, you don,t need to know.

Do they let fuel trucks in?

No idea really but it has a series of escape routes all along, divided road etc. It was built as a short cut to a treacherous pass over a mountain nearby to Danang

Vietnam has a tunnel , 6 klm,s, amazing !

What can they do? It's the immigration officer who processes a visa application, not an agent. The immigration laws have changed. It was easy before because you could take the money out the next day, but now you have to keep a balance so how can you get around that unless the agent is willing to use their own money which won't happen.

. It will be interesting to see if, next year, anyone is sent home for having a late transfer one month or a couple that they can't prove are foreign transfers while all the time there are people having all the requirements waived by a senior officer.     

Don,t need to wait till next year to see, it’s happening every day where folk are rejected over such matters you mention...That,s the problem

Oz is the place to be????? Hahahahahahaha! What a joke, I can't afford to pay attention there! It's the last place I would want to be. My niece and nephew from oz came to visit last summer to Canada. They couldn't believe how much cheaper Canada was compared to kangaroo land. Simply getting unaffordable to live there.

yes Canada gets cold in the winter, but Vietnam fills the gap quite nicely. Had my fill of Thailand.

So they,ll be relocating some time soon Uncle Ronny?

So you'd prefer them to be selling their children for sex?

Wa ko comment,I,m referring to folk who have been accepted into Oz as refugees!

I am surprised they don't want retirees, mainly because there is only 30 million people living there and the country is the size of the continental USA which has 320 million people.....though a lot of Oz is uninhabitable. And getting all the foreign currency should be a boon. I'm sure Aussies on here can enlighten us.

 Not sure how foreign currency is needed from retirees, when you see how much Aus Gov gives to the refugees! While pensioners in the main are in poverty.....screen shot.

If you think it's not illegal go into your immigration office and ask them, just to be sure!

That would probably be OK, I,m sure he would have a referall ready.

Most posters think it is Bht 800,00 two months before extension, three months after = 5. And as far as I know there are 12 months in a year.

And the 400,how long is that not yours?

This is absolutely correct. I have also heard this from a high ranking immigration official

Was he “friend”of yours, if not what would you expect him to say....????

The goalposts have changed to try and stop the illegal practice of having other people put the money in your bank account

It’s not illegal to have other,s pay in to your account! What next!

but at least we have  a drive thru, takes a few minutes only  ????
all they need is some enterprising thai  set up coffee stand before you enter immigration.

Coffee n eats are right there, but you must get out of your car! Life,s a battle....

Exactly and the Agent and Applicant are just offering a gratuity, it’s up to the IO wether he takes it or not.

 

 

The applicant is not aware of any gratuity payment, just a fee for the agent to obtain the extension.
