so if you apply for a driver's license while on Thailand Elite, you will only get a temporary license. With an investment extension you will qualify for a permanent driver's license.

Absolute balderdash!

Also, the lifetime licence ended decades ago, all licences are now 2 years initial and then 5 on renewal.

Thailand 4 was to be operational in 1w months 3 years ago.. Big Prayut lol

It is called Thailand 4.0 and there never was a timeline announced.

"However, the government has yet to set out a clear timeline."

Ergo: Embassy-letters, as they have always been produced to-date, would no longer be of any use. 

The letters as they are now would be fine, IF the embassies verified the income, (which they won't), immigration has not said that they won't accept letters.

Same as this, "Your letters are no good any more," move - which 3 embassies how report they were told by TI.

No, they were not told that, they were told that they needed to verify the income stated on the letter - totally different.

Now you have two reports from members confirming that a report is not needed if leaving within the 7 days after day 90.

 

But you’re going to ignore that too, because it doesn’t support you’re opinion.

No, you have 2 people who were told that no report is needed and were not fined. As you are aware, immigration officials are very often not clued up on their own rules.

Does a school only have to pay severance if he is fired

Yes, if he is terminated then he would be due severance. Unless the school manages to fire him for any of the below reasons.

In addition according to art 119 LPA, as amended by LPA-No2 of 2008 (art.18), severance shall not be paid by the employer if the dismissal was the result of a serious misconduct of the employee.
(The LPA lists the following cases:
"(1) performing his/her duty dishonestly or intentionally committing a criminal offence against the employer;
(2) willfully causing damage to the employer;
(3) committing negligent acts causing serious damage to the employer;
(4) violating work rule, regulation or order of the employer which is
lawful and just, and after written warning having been given by the employer, except for a serious case with no requirement for the Employer to give warning.
(5) absenting himself/herself from duty without justifiable reason for
three consecutive working days regardless of whether there is holiday in between;
(6) being sentenced to imprisonment by a final court judgment")

The rule for acronyms: if you can say it, it’s upper case then lower. So: Asean, Fifa, Uefa, Unesco. But, UNHCR, etc

That is not a rule, it is merely a recent popular convention.

By the way, FIFA disagrees with you.

As does ASEAN

The discussion is about whether or not someone leaving the country -- between days 91 & 97 -- without notifying their address can be fined. They can't, because the report never becomes overdue, because you don't stay longer than 97 days.

You really don't understand English do you. Everything you have posted is about making a notification, not missing one! The report is overdue come day 91, but you are given until day 97 to MAKE A REPORT not to leave the country.

As the thread is an editorial, I would have hoped that they could have got the basics right. It does not bode well if the title of a piece is wrong.

How does that support your argument? (rhetorical) 

 

Your argument is just opinion. Even if you believe I am wrong you have another member confirming I am right. Maybe he's lying to? (rhetorical) 

 

Step away from your keyboard, google and forums and go and ask at immigration.

How can you not see that you are writing about making a NOTIFICATION not failing to report?

It is called ASEAN not Asean.

Government schools tend to follow a set pattern, though that pattern will vary somewhat from one school to another.  A typical pattern would be:

 

Monday - school polo shirt

Tuesday - khaki (civil service uniform)

Wednesday - scout uniforms

Thursday - shirt/dress/blouse in the school color (each school has their own badge and color or colors)

Friday - button down shirt/trousers or female equivalent.

Actually, Monday is the day that they wear the Khaki uniform.

There is no “grace period”.

 

You are required by law to report your address as soon as possible after day 90. If you don’t report within 7 days after day 90, and are still in the country, a fine becomes due and potentially (highly unlikely) could be collected anytime in the future if you leave without reporting.

 

If you leave the country within those 7 days your continuous stay count ends, the obligation to report your address ends, and as you didn’t stay beyond 97 days no fine can be charged — ever.

Why do you keep spouting this lie? The 7 days after the due date is ONLY if you make a report, not if you leave the country. I concede that the chances of being "found out" and fined if you left the country are slim, I do think you should post the actual facts as backed up by the applicable rules, (which mine is).

To avoid any possible fine you must report, OR leave the country within 7 days of the 90th day.

No, the grace period is for reporting, NOT leaving the country!

However- would the Thai Imm accept an Embassy Letter in the form of a blank affidavit from a US Citizen dated after Jan 1, 2019- Have no idea -I am waiting for clarification from the US Embassy and I have sent them an email.

You are asking the US embassy if Thai immigration will accept the affadavit? You are asking the wrong people ????

Thai Immigration officials have sought and taken advice from the embassies before, so it's not unheard of.
