    I wished less desirable people from other countries - who basically just walk in - would get the same scrutiny in Schengen as Thai people get. It's a complete joke. I'd rather have more Thais there than more you-know-whats.

    He wouldn't know before any of us. The military leaders will inform the public directly, as they've always done; they wouldn't use the defence minister as their mouthpiece (or ask for his blessing first).

    If you're visa exempt in Vietnam, you could consider basing yourself there for your travels around Southeast Asia instead. They certainly wouldn't have any issue with the pattern of entries you describe, and as an added benefit, you wouldn't need to bother with the silly TDAC that often.

    Come on, any supermarket cashier gets to see a lot more entitled people than them, and the prices change daily. No sympathy from me, they could have chosen another job if they aren't up for this one.

    They become zombies. Walking among us but their life is already over.

    Maybe try to get a gig as a comedian, but please don't forget to get a proper visa and work permit if you wish to pursue this. As to your OP, that sounds completely unrealistic. It will cost you a lot more than 20k especially if you want to have the initial Non-Ed visa issued locally.

    People who aren't even in the country legally rarely get bail. Even if there were no other charges, they'd be held pending deportation. In this case, with multiple criminal charges plus overstay, you'd need a lawyer who's a miracle worker plus unlimited funds for that lawyer to splash around. Unless the defendant has some serious money, he's well and truly screwed.

    As soon as the Thai PM will have been ousted this will just go away.

    That's a lot of "devices" lately, and quite a bit further north than usual. That doesn't bode well for the next few months, things might heat up considerably.

    Stop complaining, said Roger from Pattaya. Then everyone thought about it, stopped complaining and lived happily ever after.

    Medical extensions exist, but they require extensive paperwork from the hospital. So it would be best if you check with the hospital that you plan to use if they have experience dealing with immigration and if they think you qualify for a medical extension based upon the planned medical procedure. Don't take this lightly, to qualify you must actually be unfit to travel.

    Let's just say he and Dubai aren't a good match.

    There should be no more, but reluctantly, if it is "necessary", the army will step in as per usual...

    You cannot link a bank account with TrueMoney, but you CAN top up your TrueMoney wallet balance from your mobile banking app. That's what I always do, I've never topped it up with cash. I've saved my TrueMoney wallet number as a favorite, takes seconds to top up.

    They don't do that at CW, at least it isn't the norm.

    His meddling has gotten out of hand, what a mess.

    I'd go with "kinky".

    How does it manifest that it doesn't work anymore? Does WISE refuse to process the transaction or does Kasikorn Bank bounce the funds? First I've ever heard of WISE problems with Kasikorn Bank!

    What on Earth are they doing 30 minutes long? Even someone unfamiliar with the process should be able to snap a picture and print a new passbook in less than 10 minutes. Did they make you sign (m)any forms? Can't say I'm looking forward to that visit!

    The German industry hard at work to combat the world's overpopulation- one bullet a time.

    I think the US government should put a lot more pressure on those foreign governments that refuse to accept their own citizens back. Why they can get away with it is anyone's guess. This problem of deporting people to a 3rd country would completely go away if it was understood that each and every country cannot refuse to accept its own citizens.

    Nothing defies the laws of physics, that's just a nonsensical thing to say. The problem is that our understanding of physics is incomplete and, in some cases, probably flawed - we don't even know what we don't know. Great physicists have always been aware of (and humbled by) this.

    I guess some offices just jumped the gun on this, when they didn't understand the DTV yet. They've probably received a clarification from Bangkok in the meantime, so the days of getting 5-year DLs on a DTV should be over all across Thailand nowadays.

    To me this indicates that something might be wrong with the online TM30 your landlord has filed. Did you double-check that all your details are correct, including the passport number? Otherwise, your record wouldn't have been updated in their system properly, just like the IO said you would still be showing as residing in Chonburi.
  25. Caldera
    Out of curiosity, how much do they charge for this service nowadays, and what's the turnaround time? As tourists are expected to roam, getting the extension from any immigration office in Thailand is fine. But okay, you should get it wherever you're staying and attend immigration in person.
