She was an Ambassador. Appointed on a political whim, fired on a political whim. An ambassador represents the United States on behalf of hishers boss, the President of the United States. The Boss doesnt like you, bye bye. Lifes tough.

In Trump's case, "whim" might accurately describe his decision making process. But what does that say about his ability and judgement? A competent chief executive doesn't hire and fire on whims.

In your work permit, what is your job title?

I have several that describe my function. The relevant one, if it is relevant is this: 

 taking care of the store.

I've been told that even if an expat has a work permit, the expat is not allowed to handle money. As a security measure the owner of the business wants me to count the day's receipts.  So is it true that this would be a violation of visa regulations? Or did this used to be the case but is no longer?

Thanks for replying so quickly. I do appreciate it. One further question: is there some kind of penalty imposed if I haven't extended my work permit? My taxes are paid and reported by my employer to the appropriate authorities.

I've got a marriage visa with a work permit. If I want to extend my marriage visa, does the work permit have to be valid for the full year of the visa? Or can I extend the work visa separately?

Yes, general statements like that would make you anti-Semitic.

I wouldn't say they make him anti-Semitic. But definitely bigoted. I know plenty of Israelis who are well behaved and considerate pepole.

Vladimir Sloutsker believes that anti-Semitism in Europe is gaining new forms. Read more here https://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/vladimir-sloutsker-a-new-way-to-fight-antisemitism-1.447253

He's advocating for the definition that among other things says if you criticizise Israel for doing things you don't criticize other nations for, then you're an antisemite. 

Here are 2 of the dubious clauses they propose:

• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
   
• Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.

  They never do specify what they mean by double standards. Is criticizing Israel for being a colonial power a double standard? For its wretched mistreatment of the Palestinians a double standard? Do other democratic nations give special privileges to people of a certain faith? And so on and so forth.

Germans still suffer rrom collective guilt, and so they should; what do they say - "The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation." Ha!

Well, if the Bible says so. I think it also says  children should be executed for disobedience. And daughters can be sold into slavery.

Unfortunately her child was born in Syria, so is not a British citizen. I believe that was the mad rush for her to give birth on British soil. Bad luck.

What makes you think that this is British law?

If you have a current Visa and not an extension, I'd also take a copy of that.

Completed TM8.

Good idea about the current visa. Thanks. I do have the completed TM8.

Passport photo page, visa used for entry, most recent entry stamp, extension of stay stamp (if any) and TM6 departure card.

Thank you. I'm glad I did this check. I was going to use my current visa instead of the last visa which I used to gain entry.

I'm not clear about exactly what pages from my passport I need to copy in order to obtain my reentry permit.

Neither the airline, nor Thai immigration will have any concerns about non Thai nationals 15 years or older traveling alone. Applying for a tourist visa is also no problem.

Thank you.

will she even be allowed to leave her own country without the permissions?

 

yes

The daughter of an old family friend wants to come to Thailand this summer to spend time with our daughter. At 17, does she need some kind of written permission from her parents? Willl approval from one parent be enough? The 2 parents are in the middle of an acrimonious breakup and only one of them might approve.
