Given your particular situation, there may be a nuanced answer. Technically speaking the answers you have been provided are accurate, and personally, I would recommend following the procedures as outlined. Changing from a 90 day visa to a one year extension is relatively easy and I have done it multiple times. It is also possible to work with a visa agency and they often have relationships with immigration such that the can expedite extensions. I am not recommending, nor recommending you do that, yet it may be worth exploring.

there is an error on the online arrival card. I cannot enter my arrival date of May 7 2025. it continues to say incorrect format. complete waste of time. where can one send information that there is an error?

I did a quick search on the internet, I found the following information: You will need to provide an International Driving Permit if your own driver's licence is not printed fully in English. In most those with a driver's licence issued from the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand do not require an IDP to be able to rent a car in the UK. However, keep in mind that some car rental companies may require one if you are planning to drive across the channel, crossing by either Le Shuttle or a ferry. Make sure to call and confirm this with your car rental provider. A United States citizen who normally resides in the United States and is visiting or temporarily residing in the United Kingdom may drive by virtue of his/her valid American license for a period of one year from the date of his/her last entry visa. Again, found on the Internet, so take with a grain of salt..... you do not need to an IDP if you drive in the UK for visits up to 30 days. For visits longer than 30 days you need to have an International Drivers Permit under the 1949 Convention. I do not know whether Thailand issues an International Drivers Permit under the 1949 Convention. Other posters have provided you where to obtain an International Drivers Permit which is Chonburi Department of Land Transport. If I were you I would go and get an International Drivers Permit and be better safe than sorry. I would not take any answer here as definitive and instead go to the UK Immigration website and search for the authoritative answer.

I am looking for a solution to having roaches in my home in Nong Hoi in Chiang Mai. Interestingly, my next door neighbor reports no problems, but I regularly see roaches in my home. I just placed roach traps, but it's too early to tell whether these will help. I have read to sprinkle in the home diatomaceous earth, yet I have no idea where to find this in Chiang Mai. I have also read that spreading borax or boric acid with sugar are good remedies, yet again where do I find borax or Boric acid in Chiang Mai or online? I am interested in peoples suggestions for effective methods to get rid of cockroaches. Thank you.

Hello, Can someone help me to locate where to purchase grain to feed cows in Ubon Ratchathani. My girlfriend's family have 14 cows and they seem unable to cut enough grass to feed the cows. I read grain is a food source for cows. Where does one purchase grain to feed cows in Ubon Ratchathani? Thanks, Robert

My girlfriend's father is ill and needs help to care for the family's cows and the rice fields. We believe we need help for about 30 to 45 days until he regains his health. Whenever I speak with my girlfriend she seems to imply its impossible to find an abled-body man to perform this work. I believe she simply has no idea how to search and find someone to hire. When I suggest to her to speak to the local groceries stores to network and put the word out, or to contact the headman in the village, or to contact some local government offices I am met with every man in the village is working and no one is available. I would appreciate any help how people find local labor in the villages outside Ubon Ratchathani. Village Na Di is about 40 km from Ubon Ratchathani. The job entails cutting grass everyday to feed 14 cows, feed the cows, take the cows to graze, clean the cow poo from the barn, and tend to the rice fields. I the local rate for this type of work 350 baht/day? Thank you for your assistance.

yes, there was a flaw in my application for the 90 day non-o immigrant visa from my home country because I did need to provide proof of insurance which was a major irritant. My goal was to get the 1 year extension asap as I wanted to travel outside of Thailand and meet some friends in other countries. If I was in no particular hurry, I would just get a tourist visa, change it to a 90 day visa extension and then change it to a 1 year visa extension. Also, I already have the 800K in the bank for a significant amount of time.

Unless you are in a rush to go to Thailand, I would suggest you do as I am and apply for 90 day non-o immigrant retirement visa in your home country, and then change this to a 1 year retirement visa extension in thailand. Otherwise, you will need to change the tourist visa to a 90 day non-0 immigrant visa in thailand and then change the 90 day visa to a 1 year extension.

With much sadness my girlfriend's daughter wants to get her nose changed to look more caucasian. While we disagree with her decision, ultimately it is her body and we cannot do much to change her mind. That said, we would like to find a quality clinic or doctor to do the surgery so it is done correctly. Ideally we would like to find a doctor with ethics who might dissuade her from this entirely unnecessary procedure. If you have any recommendations for a clinic or and/or doctor, we would very much appreciate learning the name, address, phone number, and/or Line ID. We are located in Chaing Mai. Thank you, Robert
