In the past, both The Euros and World Cup matches have been screened on the regular free Thai TV channels.

We will have to wait and see if this is the case this year.

You should also be able to get English commentary by going into the audio/tools settings on your TV.

 

 

But most of it will be at some stupid o'clock.

Well, he was certainly a darn sight nicer than Megan Markle can ever be IMHO!

Why? Don't ever remember her shooting wildlife. and then pretending to be a conservationist.

If Thai it would be free. and waved on.

Your child only needs the O visa to enter Thailand. Once in Thailand they can get an Extension as your dependent every year.  As UJ says, it's irrelevant if they attend school or not; they are just 'piggy-backing' on your Extension of Stay for work.  

 

I do wonder at what age a child can continue being dependent, and when they would start needing their own Extension.  I would be surprised if it continues long past 18.

Age 20.

The requirement is to report 90 days in country

agent may put the 400k (or 800k for RET Visa) in your bank account for ten minutes each side of midnight to produce a two day Imm. bank statement......then its returned......

agent needs to guarantee and arrange visa issued by your Area Imm. and NOT by different Imm.

because Other Imm. Visa creates an Area Imm. refusal / cancel problem at any 90 day reporting.

 

Ilegal

B is illegal. Simple as that

You can get a 60 extension to visit your Wife.

Queueing outside in 34 degrees and 80% humidity,  IOs who don't know the rules and make new ones up on the hoof, a long drive to the immigration office and back, producing reams of  paperwork in  24 hours, having lots of better things to do with my time; just some of the reasons why  

One hour a year.

Not difficult is it?

I have been using different Immigration Offices for over 18 years and have never come across the conditions you mentioned above.

Dont sit in judgement, people use agents for a variety of reasons. Many simply for less stress and hassle. Before anyone jumps in and says "what stress and hassle" then you are very lucky and leave it at that. Many do get stressed, many get a bumpy ride through no fault of their own. Some just cant be doing with the stress through uncertainty. If people choose to use an Agent, thats their perigative and their own personal reasons. No one should sit in judgement, each to their own.

Most use agents to circumvent the rules.

You know it and I know it.

I will say again if you cannot give up an hour of your time once a year to apply for an extension.................

99.9% agents aren't dodgy. They simply "tip" an IO they know to smooth the proceedings. The end product is as legit as if you did it yourself.

 

Gotta be rich to get it. 10k/20k is peanuts to some folk. They are happy to pay to be at a golf course instead of in a line.

Ok if they can sleep at night.

I can because I do it myself and know it is legit.

Also if you cannot give up an hour once a year you have a problem.

So that Thais can cut them down and replace them with cement.

Thais hate trees.

Not much of a difference!

A scam. There is no discount.

You don't need an agent unless you do not qualify for the extension you want.

Then it will be dodgy or illegal.

No. You cannot get a Tourist Visa inside Thailand.

You could probably get a 60 day Covid Extension.

Extend it before you go.

Same same every year.
