Too many drivers in tunnel vision only thinking about themselves 

in reality they should focus on being alert and look out for possible dangers.

Forget about me first if you arrive your destination 5-10 minutes later think of it as a stress reliever...

In the past expat packages were very attractive now companies are less apt to throw in all the bells and whistles.

You should expect a higher salary to make the move. Let the employer present their offer before showing what you’re looking

for. If their offer is reasonable make a decision if not negotiate. 

Make sure whatever the cost to make the move that you have same expense paid to go back at end of contract. 

You’ll need to make sure Visa and Work permit fees are included 

as well as renewals.

YOU CAN REFUSE the bags - I do!  Don't just blame the retailers.

Most the time I do also..... the shop across laughs because I won’t 

take a bag. I’ve got hands and pockets.

Some stores when you buy soda (can or bottle) they want to give you a straw with it... 

A lot of cashiers when you say no thanks you can see their pleased

that you’re doing your part

Some airlines have policies...... see attached

My question:  does anyone have personal experience renewing their extension with only 200k (as an old-timer)?   

 There was a article and I think a link on the US Embassy website 

anyone that has lived continuously in the kingdom since Oct 1998 it applies 

It’s horrifying that these things happen to children. If the person 

gets caught they should give him life. Things like this infuriates me. 

Once wife got caught up in a scam. Locked herself in the room 

because the person said she can’t let anyone know what she’s talking about....

The scammers saying they were police and trying to catch someone and involved her bank account. When she opened

the she tells me be her. Ended up told her if their police tell 

them come here and discuss.

same thing happened to her sister a few days prior and her husband told her the same. 

If not they’d (wife’s) be emptying the account thinking the family was in danger.....

Was probably caused by to many bucking the system and bragging about it. Perhaps the government asked the Embassy to be responsible for the verification. As in case with US Embassy they verify what your stating not that it’s true or not. 

Anyway hopefully this sorts out and fair to all. Danish got a bad deal hopefully their Embassy talks with Government and give some time to decide what to do.

One of the supervisors at CW told me the USA embassy income letter will be accepted if dated before January 1

The same is in the US Embassy website. Unfortunately the Danish Embassy pulled the plug with no time to prepare

Received my Retirement extension Oct 2018

- Does it need to be renewed Oct. 2019? Or is there additional time? 

- Visa by marriage is the village marriage accepted? 

- The 65,000 a month in bank. Do the funds have to stay in bank? Or only show 65k as deposited each month.? 

Thanks

Tried two of the links provided and unless I’m not reading it correctly not much that would help....

R.I.P. in due time maybe we will hear what happened. A lot of strange things surrounding the incident.......

works with the new one unless I leave Thailand

 Maybe the new passport has to be put in the system. I’ve taken

my new passport to immigration all the stamps and such and it was updated in the system..

Isuzu Udon Thani uses Tisco I think 1/2 interest

Visited Apple store in California many times. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Should be the same in Thailand.

Bit of a hike for us folks that live in NE.

I’ve been to Istudio three times in Udon Thani service was good

and helpful. Would visit again if needed. There’s a Apple Service 

center in same mall.
