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.

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.

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?

notify

 Just that one word alone supports my argument. If you could read, you too would realise you are wrong.

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.

Examples?

They stayed (and were served coffee and snacks) until the 4th late-arriving employee showed up for work.

It says you must have a 4 to 1 ratio, nowhere does it say they all need to be at work at the same time.

in western countries by law a large proportion of the ticket money has to be paid back out. I just wonder what proportion it is in Thailand. also I heard in Thailand jackpots are not rolled over to the next month if they are not won. wonder if that is true.

60% is allocated as prize money.
