I flew with Thai into the LOS last week, and was asked for my onward ticket out of LOS until I showed the lad my visa. A couple with two kids also on the same flight had to buy (4) ticket on the spot to Sydney to get on the flight. They wanted to spend a few days in Thailand then look at tickets. The airline would be fined for bringing in a visitor that does not have an onward ticket if they do not hold the right to live in that country.

My job require us to do this on a random selection basis, before work and sometimes after work, by an independent firm. This is what should be done. All should also take a psychological test every year.

The letter & Bank statement must not be over (7) days. Checking from the day you received it, and including the you go to the immigration office. Your bank book as stated in one of the above post, must be updated on the day you go there. And copied. Do not forget the house location map / couple of passport photos / Marriage certificate / wife change of name certificate, (if she changed it) / wife ID card / house book / your yellow house book if you got one / Child; Children Birth paper / Pictures of you wife & child / children in the ( Living Rm / Dinning Rm / Kitchen / One showing house number with you all / Bedroom ( note, all photos (2) per 8x4 page) / TM30 and/or last 90 days reporting slip / your passport detail pages copy / plus all pages in your passport with any Thai immigration stamp in it / Application form / Over stay : obligation form/ all copied checked signed / most importantly your application money / if this is your first extension, they would come knocking on your door, and want to meet your neighbors. Make sure you offer them a cold beverage. Nonthaburi can be a rouge IMO.

Would help Thailand if they would employed an independent firm and do a full psychological evaluation of all personnel "captain to cook" in the RTP / Army / Navy / Air force, and weed out the bad apples. I think 95% would fail. Doing this would mean Thailand do do not have any security personnel. Then again, they would just be moved to an inactive post and reinstated once the dust clears.

Does anyone know of a way to pay one's Electrical Utility Bill with a foreign credit card here in Thailand? 7/11 & Metropolitan Electrical Authority only take cash. Not sure of AIS, True and Water Company either. Sure would like to know if this is possible.
