And - it almost goes without saying! - he's also VERY VERY SICK.

That USSD code works well with a passport number that might contain letters. NOT. I duly registered my SIM card in my name, presenting my passport at the time. But unlike with the banks, I've never updated my passport number with my mobile phone provider whenever I got a new passport. That will be another "fun" thing to deal with, I'd suspect...

That's a good point. But you really need to mention which immigration office you'll be using, as the requirements differ between offices.

What exactly are you looking for here? People who commiserate with you? No amount of agreement on this forum will help you with your IO. But for the record, I agree with you, the documents you've provided should have been enough (assuming that your bank book didn't have gaps due to "combined" transactions, which is the main reason immigration might ask for a statement covering the whole period since your last extension). In the big scheme of things, your "predicament" is a small issue and easily fixed. Not worth losing sleep over.

How about not buying any submarines?

As you'll have your main residence registered with immigration elsewhere, you and/or your Khanom landlord can reasonably be expected to file TM30 notifications for your temporary stays in Khanom. Ideally, you or your landlord register the house for online TM30 notifications to make that as painless as possible.

With an "agent-assisted" retirement visa and extension, I wouldn't risk an official move to another immigration office. Two options come to mind: Ask around if there are any agents that provide the same kind of service in Nakhon Si Thammarat and skip the Pattaya agent. Or use the Pattaya agent and let them deal with subsequent 90-day reports.

Sounds like he and his wife didn't keep their seat belts fastened despite being advised to do so while seated (to mitigate this very scenario, unexpected turbulence). If I had been on that flight and either he or his wife or some other negligent idiot had landed on me, I would have been pretty angry.

How do you plant only those parts that will remain legal? Are they as retarded as this sounds?

It's perfectly fine to have a Thai retirement "visa" (extension) and another one elsewhere. The only thing that will matter to your immigration office when extending is that you will continue to meet the (Thai) requirements.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that this muppet is an immigration police volunteer, he wouldn't be the first foreign police volunteer misbehaving.

The insane number of Thais who have been found overstaying and/or working illegally in South Korea and Japan since having been granted visa-exempt entry to those countries MIGHT not go down well with some Schergen countries!

He's got more balls than brains. That will be fun to watch.

That can't be good.

You think? Well I think that's nonsense. I like Telegram, it has some pretty cool features that other messengers don't have.

I struggle to remember having read any article that is more idiotic than this one. Anywhere. On any subject. Isn't it just common sense to have a good mix of payment options at one's disposal, including cash? Especially when traveling far away from home.

To be classified as a terrorist, you don't need to have killed anyone. As for their abysmally low chance of success, I agree with you. But again, that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be tried as terrorists and punished severely.

Nothing wrong with that. Just because many of them look like deluded old goats doesn't mean that their plans for a violent takeover shouldn't be punished severely. They, too, are domestic terrorists.

Hopefully that's what will happen, this has been going on way too long.

Reduced to 60 days since this month.

Potential property market investors, take note.

It's been tried before, there simply doesn't seem to be enough interest in routes to and from Hua Hin. Otherwise the airport would be thriving, just like many others, isn't that beyond obvious?

That's a great advertisement for the Elite visa scheme - spend 800,000+ baht, get probed for money-laundering for free as a bonus.

Same as before, a 30-day extension for your visa exempt entry and/or a 60-day extension to visit your wife. That way you won't need to leave and re-enter Thailand until you can apply for your non-immigrant visa.
