Will be interesting to see if it's extended again today, but ultimately I couldn't care less.

I'm sure Torrent Galaxy and Pirate Bay will be overjoyed that you are very pleased with their free service. Very humble of you.

Sad man in a sad country.

Get the Non O or the extension in November?

The amnesty ends Sept 26th, so on what basis are you staying between Sept - November.

 

The agents usually do the 90 day reports on your behalf because the extensions are often obtained at a different Immigration office to the Province you live in.

If you move Province, file a TM30 and submit the 90 day reports yourself at the new office.

I still have a 60 day extension in the tank. Actual O visa ends in Nov some time.

Yea, I'll have to learn the ropes a bit, all this is new to me.

I'm dragged into the extension visa now after always being on a non o.

Ok, so I'm 50 and going onto a retirement visa. I'm going to be using an agent. 

I plan to get this visa in Nov, but by April/May I could well be moving province. I assume I should tell the agent this. will it effect things in any way? I understand the agent also does the 90 day report (whatever that is) will it matter to the agent if I am no longer in the same area as the agent? Assume I would post it to the agent for this??

Thanks for any help.  A lot of hassle for living in a country where I don't even want to be any longer!

A couple of d!<k comments so far... 

 

Real people getting separated by a government policy - its awful, unnecessary and absolutely horrible. 

 

Those foreigners who are married (with a marriage certificate) can apply to return, but the process is convoluted and not everyone can afford it; in many cases only business class seat are available on repatriation flights and the ASQ hotels are not cheap (>30,000 baht for 15 days).

 

For others, not married, there is no current route back which is outrageous. 

 

A horrible world situation has caught people out Thailand is not easing this burden at all by forcing them to remain apart. 

 

 

 

Still beating that same drum, then. Sounds like you're abut to burst into tears?

laced with drunks, prostitutes, homeless people and stray dogs...Pattaya beach front is an absolute disgrace. You could become ill just walking down that pitful dump.

People on here are actually gossiping about what visa he might be on?? Genuinely never known a sadder, more bored bunch of people than that pollute these fair boards.

14,000 baht (or even less) for a retirement extension is often possible when already on a non immigrant entry. Things like conversion from a tourist entry to subsequently get a retirement extension is more expensive, as is a marriage extension or anything else that requires Division level sign off.

Cool, as that is what I'm on.

Think the going price for a trouble, money free extension is around the 23000 baht mark. Times are tough.

Yea about that, but I've heard as low as 14 mentioned.

Yeah, if I knew they wouldn't honour what they'd previously said about being dated after the 26th I'd have left it a little longer too but don't want to point out their error/duplicity as don't want to have my card marked for my upcoming extension.

Yea, in the bigger picture of a 1 year ext a few weeks is nothing really.

Agreed.

Sunday it was 99 baht for chicken and 129 baht for pork. Add 40 baht if you think you can finish a large serving.

Great food at superb value - as is all of the food there.

Great value. The whole of Pattaya is great value for western food. Way cheaper than every other part of Thailand, and that includes Isaan.

Khao Noi Sports Bar.

Good sized roast dinner for 129 baht

I had a few roasts in there a good few years back, it was superb, and 129 baht is an absolute steal.

Is the Welsh 'chippy' still there up near the front end of Mapbrachan lake? Also had a bar there, run by a grumpy Welsh geezer from Cardiff?

I am not so sure I see the girls this way.  

'Girls'??? Don't you mean women?

It's worse than mumsnet on here.

Worry not, I'm sure your Thai gf is being 'taken care of' " :-)

Think the OP is making sense, it's an utter farce. Even the posters proclaiming that they understand it, don't really. The whole thing is a mess.
