Yes right now most transfers show as local

It was challenging but you made it to the end, well done

I'd do what the volunteer suggested and pay whatever 'fine' or tea money they ask trying to fix it as best as I can. Obviously he will have to leave the country so better he prepares a suitcase because usually deportation is instant.

No, these days if you have to brib* better doing it directly at the source. I read recently of many people that thought they had their papers fixed but in reality the agency just took the money and did nothing.

Haven't been to a cinema since they invented streaming apps

I agree, they indoctrinate them with useless stuff... to avoid the road carnage 1 hour a week of road education would do miracles plus taking down all the stray dogs

The dogs are a problem for sure but education on the road and forbidding kids to drive motorcycles that go as fast as 100Km/h could be a good start. I see them every morning racing to school, with no helmets on, customized motorcycles. Even though they see their peers dying every day on the roads (people they know or on the news) they seem to think they are invincible.

At that age in my country you can only drive 50cc mopeds

Well you know what it means if the Shin kid wins the elections right? One or two great years then another coup and instability for the following 10 years. With Prayut we might not grow but we don't become failed state either, better than nothing I guess.

Yeah bummer, looks like this is still not a good opportunity for those living out of Bangkok... having to travel in addition to all the steps still make the yearly extension better. Right now with a marriage visa I'm in and out my local immigration office in 1 hour.

Better for everyone here, they'll finally get tourists that spend again in this country.

I have worked for a BOI company 5 years, never asked for a medical certificate or health check ups

The pandemic was declared over a few days ago. Do you live under a rock?

Surely you are more narak with a mask, Anustin

They are wild animals, not dogs, treat them as such and no problem

I have seen many slums in BKK too

Monster, rot in hell

Everyone has a god, call him Netflix, Jesus or Mohammad or Money

is it humanly possible to use it more than they actually do?

In short, just cook at home

Vans are the most dangerous thing in Thailand, stay away from them.

AFAIK you always need a re-entry permit otherwise your PR will be cancelled

We are just talking and I'm trying to understand what's the value of this opportunity because I don't see much but you have to go personal insulting me. Okay you have made your choice, enjoy it. Jealous of what? You don't know me and I don't know you. If I was an old geezer like you I wouldn't do this.

And you make no sense at all, this visa is for high earners and 20k is pocket change for them. You are doing this only to avoid some paperwork at the immigration, not for 'investing' (what kind of investment do you do with so little money that is so attractive to you? I'm curious?) and/or you are just bummed that some of your money is locked away in a bank account which I understand but then just choose the monthly income option for retirees. Do an O-X visa, no? Honestly I don't find anything that intriguing in this program. For people working here I understand, there is actually some taxation advantage, it might become a game changer but for a retiree? Not so much.

True, I mean he makes 80k USD a year and complains about 20k locked away in a Thai bank account... (which by the way can be seen as a security deposit in case his life blows up and needs money to go back home) should be peanuts for him and makes no sense.
