Keep calm and the airports open.............

Shut that hole under your nose, you have designed the courts and senate and could not be more happy about the young Harvard Graduate Pita's ( election winner ) removal of duties.....

Finally got my Police Clearance back after applying 23 days ago.

 

Will be switching to O-A visa now since I have to buy 12 months insurance for non-imm O anyway 

On your future OA extensions at immigration, try to make sure your health insurance start date is always close to your extension start date.  When your OA visa expires in one year, your extensions of stay based on your O-A will always be to the date of your health insurance expiry date, which could possibly mean your stamp is less than a year depending on your health insurance validity when you go for yearly extensions.......

He is located in Pattaya and the mad hatter at immigration is insisting on the 800k being in bank for 2 months rather than just on day of application. 

I'd sure hate to lose your Non O extensions unintentionally whether it be forgetting a re-entry permit or other neglected policy issues throughout the year and have to start over........headaches online at Embassies abroad and numerous 'mad hatters' at numerous offices here.............

I believe many Thai Embassies do not update their Visa requirements often. 

In Canada, website is still showing a link for the ThaiPass access, however health insurance was required for the 90 day Non O application last year where I had and used previous valid O-A insurance. It appears there's no change in the Non O health insurance, keep emailing and calling get the low-down or get the Non O in Thailand if you have the 800k here or agent........

Maybe the Tourist Police could just carry out their assigned role of protecting tourists, and leave visa and employment law violations to Immigration and the local police?

Not sure how Thailand can follow visa and employment laws when they can fill their wallets and purses, maybe a large salary increase for all nation wide in the offices ? 

Better have a look at what many Russians are 'doing' on the Island as well..........

This is a hard question. You could develop a condition that would exclude you from decent coverage or coverage at all tomorrow. It sounds like right now you can have a clean application. If I were you I would do lots of research on the best agents and best companies and apply for the insurance. No guarantees but it would be a fair enough bet if your record is really as clean as you present it here.

I agree, if one is considering health insurance, apply if and when you have clean bill of health, many have % discounts for yearly 'no-claims' as well but of course premium rate increases at age intervals.......

Trump attorneys should work on a plea deal........lol

The concrete has been poured......you are finished......

Try obtaining a 90 day Non O e-visa in London. There's 8-9 questions there as well. You stated you are considered a resident there so upload an address from there...... 

Wait another month and see what Mr. Pita's (PM) thoughts and plans on their neighbours situation will be.....current Junta have no say in the matter...............

BTW I don’t and never needed Insurance Certificates for my renewals.

 I have got cover nevertheless. Thx.

Are you doing OA extensions ?

OA extension and expiring PP - you’ll be stamped in to PP expiry May 2024 or possibly prior to May if your Health Insurance expires before May 2024. 

Trump - the worst client any Attorney could have.........keep talkin trump....lol.

I think the problem was not the Chinese, but the influx of Russian draft dodgers. They were especially eager to open bank accounts because Russian-issued Visa and Mastercard cards are not working outside Russia.

A few months back at SCB, I'm sitting at a tellers desk, a young Russian couple seated next at another teller trying to open an account and at the same time on his phone - assuming a Russian agent, it was not going well for them document wise, he ended up hollering at the staff of 6 women who looked terrified. Nasty behaviour of intimidation for a people lucky enough to land here......don't know if they got their desperately needed bank account......   

Check the PP, possible overstayer..........
