OK, thanks.

"You could get a single entry non-o from one of the honorary consulates while you are in the states."

I am under the impression that a single-entry, 90 day, Non-Immigrant O visa requires that you be visiting a Thai spouse or family member.

I am not married to a Thai, nor do I have any Thai dependents.

Is there a link to any details/forms/documents required for this category of visa?

Actually this might potentially be very easy as I have met the Thai Honorary Consul in my home city several times.

Thank you.

I already have a trip planned back to the U.S. to coincide with my current visa, so coming back in on a 30 exemption is relatively simple.

ubonjoe and Mario2008, thank you.

1178 was a bit of a black-hole, no apparent contact points.

0-2141-9889 (Immigraiton Div. 1 main number) was a similar black-hole.

Unfortunately they retained my paperwork stack, including my original Affidavit of Income, at that same desk area (L38, I think), so I am pretty sure I'd have to deal with the same supervisor. I'm not certain how to push the issue to a higher up without making problems for both the supervisor and myself.

Based on what I've read I am fairly certain this supervisor is confused, but I'm not clear on how to successfully address her issue(s)?

Thank you for responding.

I am not sure how to address/overcome her objections/understanding of the situation.

I applied for an Extension of Stay based on Retirement. I used form TM.7. ( I clearly stated I had a Non-Imm B visa on the TM.7, "kind of visa").

I had all the required documentation, my application was accepted, I paid 1,900 baht. My passport was stamped, I received an Extension of Stay until Sep. 28, 2015, with a next report date of Dec. 4, 2014 I was then passed on to a supervisor, which appeared to be SOP, who while much younger had more stripes on her epaulets indicating a higher rank, who rejected my application, returned my fee, and wrote "void" through my extension stamp. I think she was mistaken or confused, but clearly I did not see it as appropriate for me to challenge her. She said I needed a letter from my "employer" or "sponsor", not sure what it should say, even though I clearly stated that I was not employed, nor working.

I went to Chaeng Watthana.

(Sorry for using the words "convert" and "conversion" in error.)

I always got a kick out of Ang Lee's effort in the BMW "The Hire" series, with Clive Owen as The Driver, called Chosen. Lee cast his son, Mason, as the Passenger.

Sunbelt Asia and lopburi3 Thank you. I reviewed the TM.8 form so all is clear now.

Sunbelt Asia So you are saying that yes, I can get a re-entry stamp when I depart BKK on 17 May, and that this will 'preserve' my 1 July 2007 visa deadline?

If so, when I return to BKK on 22 May how will Immigration know that I am valid until 1 July 2007?

Thanks.

I could use some advice.

I have a one-year multiple-entry Non-Immigrant B Visa which expires on 4 April 2007. I am currently schdeuled to return to Thailand on 2 April 2007, so expect to get stamped back in until 1 July 2007. Further I am scheduled to return to the U.S.A. on 27 June 2007 in order to apply for a new one-year multiple-entry Non-Immigrant B Visa.

All was well until I had to schedule a trip outside of Thailand for mid-May, departing May 17, returning May 22.

What are my options for covering my stay of 22 May until 27 June?

Can I get a re-entry stamp departing on 17 May to insure my visa validity until 1 July? Or do I forfeit that?

Should I get stamped in on a 30-day tourist visa exemption on 22 May (covers until 21 June)? Then what? Can those be extended for 6 days in country or would I have to make some sort of visa run? (I have not had a 30 day stamp in ~ 3 years.)

The donwstream attenuation number of 63 db is the problem. That means that your modem is receiving ~ one, one millionth of the power of the signal from the DSLAM in the serving CO. So you are pretty much right on the edge. However with this line characteristic a maximum of 512 kbps should be achievable? Also based on the figures provided it looks like there was a complete loss of signal, or the line degraded to the point where you lose synch. Are you using any kind of line filter (could be incorporated into the splitter)? Do you notice any degradation, or other issues, with your fixed line (noise, static, humming, buzzing, clicking)?

I'd try a filter, then maybe ask the service provider to run a full test on the line, then maybe pay for a new line to be installed or a remote DSLAM/streetside cabinet. Maybe ask if they are using any remote cabinets currently. If not then they would probably not do one for you.

Saranjai and others mentioned will almost certainly NOT rent for short term.

As you are aware, most want 4 or 6 months minimum.

Both OMNI and Saranjai will rent by the day, week, month and year, at least that's what they told me when I visited both properties last week. I was looking for a friend who will be at Bumrungrad early next year. A colleague just completed a one month stay at the President Solitaire on Soi 11, which connects to Soi 3 near Bumrunrgad. He negotiated a flat fee of 50,000 baht (all in, incl VAT and daily breakfast, WiFi, etc.). It was a suite and was quite nice. Maybe a 10 min. walk to Bumrungrad.
