Hong Kong company + currenxie.com works, in a pinch, previously CIM Bank was a good match for a Hong Kong ltd, but not so anymore ( depending on volume of cash though)

Hi, anyone know of a shop in Bangkok (preferablt near Bangna ) that fixes minor paint damages, from stones etc without doing a complete repaint of the parts ?

Back in europe theres usually some company like "chipsaway" doing stuff like that.

Cheers

Today we arrived early in the morning at Chaeng wattana with sirens and the works, rolling out dear wife on a stretcher....

This made the front desk immigration officers visibly uncomfortable , I guess the optics of having someone lying on a stretcher inside immigration wasnt great...

They first asked my wife why she was here ? A doctors letter would be enough for the extension (geee thanks), and she could go home, after telling them that we have tried that but their friendly collegue insisted on her coming there, they fastracked us into the queue ( thanks !) 

There was then some uneasy phone calls from the officers trying to get a hold on the officer who I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday and explain that there was a  pregnant thai women lying here waiting for her.

I then got the normal runaround doing new copies of copies of copies etc before getting my under consideration stamp!

It was here things went sideways when the officer from yesterday showed up, and unfortunately was a superior, who put a stop to the whole thing.
Her argument was that we had done the TM30 online, hence did not have an actual paper from immigration with a receipt and thus it was invalid, and insisted that we go to the other immigration office to lodge a paper version of the TM30 before my extension would be processed.

At that point I went out and talked to one of the friendly immigration staffers at the information counter, who sighed and actually helped us out by doing the TM30 there on the spot!

I was then fined by the dragon for lodging my TM30 to late, since I obviously was in Bangkok yesterday and thus more than 24hours....

But I know got the under consideration stamp !

Cheers

Hi, as promised here is the results after immigration today.

The ever so friendly and helpful immigration dragon declined any extension (1 year, 60 day, 90 day for care relative ) as long as my wife was not present.

She presented me with two options: you go home your country (gee thanks, abandon my pregnant wife, where they find these people).

Other option was an ambulance and a wheelchair.....

So, tomorrow we will show up in the morning with lights and horns blazing and rolling her in on a stretcher, quite possible complete with IV and all!

Its gonna make a great photo op, any one know any journalists ????

Will update after tomorrow again.

Cheers

Just another question, if I would be going for a 60 day extension ( or the 90 day to take care of sick family member ) Would that screw up the years of residency I have for applying for permanent residency / thai nationality ?

Cheers

Great, so i first have to head over to Muang Thong Thani and then to Chaeng Wattana ? 

Thanks for all the help guys, ill update this thread next week with the outcome ????

Just now, Preacher said:

They might or might not. But otherwise they will do the 60 day extension or the extension based on medical reasons.

The issue with doing the 60 days is that it will expire right about the same time the baby is due, so could prove to make things interesting.

Maybe i should just rent a ambulance, and roll her in with on a hospital bed, complete with IV and doctors ? ????

So, if i get this straight

Head to Chaeng wattana, do a TM30

Armed with a doctors letter

Updated kor ror 2

The usual photos

Bank letter, stating 400k for 3 months.

Anything else that I'm forgetting ?

Then, in theory Chaeng Wattana would be more responsive to the doctors letter ?

We did tell them that we can get doctor letter etc ( even asked the immi office what they wanted it to state, but they refused the possibility )

Yes applying for a one year extension, i hold a work permit too in another province and was told by HR if i did the 60 day visit wife extension, the work permit would be void.

We own both a condo on Bangkok and Cha-Am (Petchaburi) And the wife is in a hospital in Bangkok, hence my idea to head to Chaeng Wattana, do a TM30 to change where we are living and proceed with the extension there.

Hi, long time lurker here.

My pregnant wife has gotten into complications and has been admitted to hospital.

Its currently unclear for how long, it might be until the baby pops out ( which is due in nov )

My extension will expire on the 26th of sept, hence my wife wont be able to attend immigration....

Does anyone know if its possible to renew a marriage extension whilst the spouse ( wife ) is in hospital ?

What would the procedure be ?

Immigration in Petchaburi basically said "though luck", I'm thinking Chaeng Wattana might be more sympathetic to the wifes situation?
