SCOTT FITZGERSLD

why not? me and my friends start each and every dinner with some words of praise for how

incredible was thailand victory over covid - 19.

acctually, we even consider to donate and finance a new victory monument in bangkok,

the victory over corona monument.

we allready started with some drawings and it is looking good.

soon they will want to see advanced degrees from reputable universities and family trees for the past 400 years to prove that the applicant is of good character .

A Copy of complete bank statement of past 3 months with minimum balance

LOL they are applying the same restrictions like for the NON - O visa, restrictions

that were brought because people were cheating and moving funds to the bank account

right before the application, than withdrawing them.

so affraid that people will cheat them and will come to thailand without the sufficient money?

so stupid !!

who will fly now to thailand if he cannot afford it?

Why is this visa open only to resident of uk / ireland?

what does the residency has to do with covid -19?

and why do the funds must be in a uk / ireland bank?

why can't the money be in a bank outside the u.k. or even better, in a thai

bank account? how does all this connected to covid-19?

anyway the u.k. was on visa waiver , so why now the thai are so worried about

residency and showing funds in bank?

seems like they just love to make life harder for potential tourists, and the result

will be indeed, less tourists.

new O-A visa is the fact that it requires the Insurance Policy and the monies in the bank (800,000  baht

must the O-A 800K money in the bank must be in a bank in the home country, or can it be in a thai bank account?

Please note that there are a number of holders of re-entry permit of Non-Immigrant O Retirement who were denied entry to

the Kingdom upon their arrival at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

woooow it must be hard to fly back to thailand with NON-O visa only to be denied entry...in this

time and age of global pandemic...after all the beurocratis headech and 16 hours flight....

anyway, if you need a criminal record certificate from thailand, even while abroad, try

the email of this thai lawyer -wannapa ngamjaroensil  :

Is there anyone who has applied for this Visa yet? 

the sad reality is this:

Ordinarily, Thailand would expect approximately 3 million foreign tourists to visit in October. Last month, less than 1,500 foreigners arrived in the Kingdom.

Where did you get your advise from Scott?

 

Entry to Panama is open to Panamanian nationals, residents, tourists and business travelers with a negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate. The certificate must be obtained no more than 48 hours before you travel. If you cannot do this, a test can be taken at the airport on arrival at a cost of USD 50.00. If the test is positive, there is a mandatory requirement to quarantine for at least 7 days at a government facility.

 

 

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/argentina

 

Argentina’s borders are closed to foreign nationals and non-residents entering the country. Some exceptions to this rule might apply. See Entry requirements

so why didnt you check brazil and mexico too?

to prove me wrong?

argentina opened on 27 october but only buenos aires.

turkey also completly open , with no need for test or quarantine, and so are few other european countries.

 Not according to the list provided by the embassy, these are the requirements for a Tourist visa

how can one have a hire contract of a condominium with at least two months installments paid, if he could not enter thailand in the past 8 months?

They don't only ask for the money in the account but aslo for a non objection letter from the employer, why the heck should I let my employer know where I want to go for a holiday? ????

ask why a nice  father takes a  young  girl into a protest event and makes comment to cause  anger?

the father took his daugther for a walk on the beach road. that is where the event took place.

so he stopped to listen and said his opinion. nothing wrong with that.

he expected that a pro democracy event will respect free speech.

nothing that he said can justify such a brutal assault.

stop blaming the obvious victim.

the blame is all on the thai brute.

Assuming that the Russian was the father of the young girl who was hanging on to him, there is no question that he should have walked away.  Apart from the fact that the girl would be traumatised by what was going on, he has a duty of care over her.  As any parent knows, you never put your child in harms way. 

i respectfully this aggree. the russian was out for a walk with his daugther and stopped to hear

what was said, in english, in this central tourist spot of this family touristic resort.

than he was confronted by this thai savage, in what should be a coltured pro-democracy event.

so the russian just stood there, believing that he is in a democtratic event in a family friendly town.

than the thai savage proved to hm - and to all of us - what we allready know - that pattaya is a low life

low culture place run by gangsters and shady characters.

so the russian was just standing there to prove his point. that is why he is showing the blood from his nose, as showing : SEE WHAT I MEAN? THEY ARE NOT DEMOCRACY AND NOT NICE PEOPLE. JUST MAFIA.

so the russian was not wise, but absolutely right. he did not want to walk away and run for his life

because of what suppose to be coltured argument in freedom event. he did not want to admit for himself that he is not really living in a family friendly place. he did not want to see the truth.

now, unfortunately, he knows better.

I doubt he left home that evening with the intention of headbutting people

 you might be surprised, but many people leave home with the intention of beating people.

either way, according to your logic, any criminal who did not leave home with the intention

to commit a crime is not guilty.

That could be a omission  when they set up the page. Best to the ask the embassy or official consulate where applying about it.

i used recently SAFETY WINGS for 250,000 USD insurance that covers corona.

very usefull, and they give VISA LETTER that specify the insurance for immigration officers (not

neccasarily thai).

Just noticed that my embassy (Scandinavian country)

If denmark is your country than better stay there, we do not need to mink mutation now.

But seriously, the STV requirements just aint worth it. if you come here to a holiday than

better forget about it for a while. it is too humiliating to apply for this STV now.

go to brazil or mexico instead. they are wide open for tourists , no need for nothing

corona wise. no test, no quarantine, no insurance, no money in the bank.

panama and costa rica also open, allthough they require test and / or insurance.

forget about thailand for a while.

you deserve better.

Protester was released on 10,000 baht bail  after being charged with causing physical and mental damage to another.

10,000 baht bail is a jock for such a vicious assault.

so cruel because he did it in front of his 10 yr daugther.

a man like that is dangerously violent and must be locked up.

but hey...he is thai and the farang is...well...just farang.

i am sure he will not be able to sue him in civil court. he should, if he could, sue

him for damages in millions of baht. A broken nose can cause suffering for years and

the girl will have trauma and mental damages.

But than again, the thai court will dismiss the case as nothing.

Shows the status of farangs in this thailand and how the law ignore their rights..

 Reminds me how i was conned out of 17000 THB by a thai travel agent.

I booked a ticket with her and she asked me for a deposit. i handed her

the full amount of the ticket, thinking to myself it will be perfectly safe to do so.

why the hell was i thinking so, you might ask?

well, behind her was a wall covered with hundreads of passport photos of people

from ym country. i was thinking that if so many customers from my country trusted her

and were happy enough to give her their photos, she must be trustworthy.

So what happaned, you might ask, how did she get away with it?

Well, two days later when i came to her quasan rd. office to collect my ticket, the

whole office disapeared. the computers, the desks, and the lady, all gone.

Only that wall with the hundreads of passport photo remained in the empty room

Strange thing it that few weeks later she called me and cried on the phone: I DID

NOT STEAL YOUR MONEY !! I DID NOT STEAL YOUR MONEY !!!

i kept the receipt though.
