zzzzz

after a 20+ hours of travelling? I learned decades ago: Never choose a young female thai immigration officer line> Never say anything other than, Sawasdee krup when i present my passport, UNLESS questioned, (Hardly ever) and Khob khun krap when he gives me back my passport KISS

Unless u speak fluent Thai, ur going to need a lawyer Family court in Phuket is held in a court room with 3 judges ( mine was) NO English was spoken> Judges asked me questions. which lawyer translated to me ,with responses translated back its not so much a trail as no one is in any witness stand and no one is sworn in. Your lawyer will go over questions that might be asked at least thats how it was before< things might have changed The welfare of the child is what is most important when granting custody.

Phuket town Free, next day ( or if u know someone) < same day ( special service ) 300 baht Patong same day 500 baht NEVER a receipt

for the better of the child as her mom took up with another guy its not true that a thai judge will side with the mother> so ur response is way off base

50 is to expensive?? wow I paid 30,000, 20 years ago for a divorce and obtained sole custody of my than 5 year old daughter> had to go thru Family court

they put red flag out to cover their ass> i swim at Kamala every afternoon, red flags an the water is fine>>> no strong current, no rips... Just lazy Life guards NOW if they used Yellow flags for caution than more people would respect the red ones Biggest problem being , people see others out in the water with red flags out so they go in> what is not known is, some people can handle rips an currents, some cant seldom ( if ever) see the lifeguards in the water and they cant always tell from the beach, the status of the water

heres a thought why not temp close this thread as none of us are in the real know of the workings at immigration or posses a working crystal ball Everything posted on the last 11 pages is just worthless speculation> 🙂

they will transfer nothing with a visa exempt entry or even tourist visa Take both passports an show them < You will be stamped out on new one, turn around and enter on new one

Training has ZERO to do with it Its that most thai's and tourist just ignore the laws

Waste of time & resources reduce accidents: easy 1. Roving police like in western countries 2. Enforce laws 3. Confiscate bike if under age or no license will it happen Not in a million years

one would hope that as a tax payer ( unlike most of the thai's that dont pay) you could access the government hospital for less baht than a non tax payer Unfortunately NOPE

Phuket would be the 1st choice given the number of rooms, international airport, hospitals, and on the cruise ship route I can only guess it will be same legalized as Singapore & Cambodia, where locals are Not allowed in, ( without special permits)

so ur only allowed to purchase the 5 year DTV ONCE every 5 years? and use it for a max stay of 360 days in that 5 years>

HOW, as the visa is issued OUTSIDE Thailand??

i read u need show 500,000 ( Not sure in thai bank or......) to get visa so at least their not poor

never got any emails on my passport filed back in Nov, just the updates on the site 41 days total time

India has a 10 year visa , max stay is 6 months with 2 months between each entry why cant Thailand EVER make things simple??? 55555 My take of the 60 day free visa exempt> Embassy's/ consulates will lose a fortune in visa fees> as will immigration in Country on the 1,900 baht 30 day extension I'd be willing to bet, 90% of tourists dont need more than 1 month -2 months

Back in Nov never got a tracking number for the thai post> nor any emails I did see updates on the US site showing if my passport was in process or transit https://passportstatus.state.gov/

no mention of 90 day reports as ANYONE on ANY visa/extension needs do one after staying more than 90 days which means a tm30 report as well

arrive on Visa EXEMPT u never arrived on a visa on arrival if ur holding a western passport.

So, who filed what complaint against whom and as anyone been arrested? missing some details here guys

so more than a re extension using an agent in Pattaya (which u dont need show Baht in Bank) guess its good for under 50 year olds BUT wonder how many digital nomads in their 20-30's have 500,000 ( $13,500 give or take a bit) just sitting around and so far we dont know if that needs be in a thai bank wow a 6 month music festival >>>>:-)

NO: Ur NOT a Laos citizen!! and ur still ONLY limited to 2 visa exempt entries/year via land border same goes for farangs living in Cambodia on long term extensions>

Did my US Passport in Nov last year, had no problems, followed the directions< received it in Phuket 41 days after sending it off to Embassy Than had an agent do all the transfers to new passport 3 months later ( as my last extension was done by an agent) at the same time as my 1 year extension and 90 day report.

when u move, file a new TM 30 in Khanmon ( or online if u have copies of landlords id car an house paper signed) than u can do ur 90 day report there ( or online) the 800,000 will need be in ur bank for 14 months IF ur agent assists u in getting the 1 year extension>>If you want do it on ur own IE; agent assisted extension June 1, 2024 good till May 31st 2025 Must show money in Bank starting April 1st 2024 if u want do ur own extension. They will check!! BUT its almost better to just go with an agent in Pattaya ( 12,500-14,000/year) why not? i've done it the past 2 years moving my actual address back to Phuket AFTER receiving a new 1 year extension>
