Hi I did my 90 days online at CW last Monday and it took one week for it to be processed. Just got a reply today Monday at 6:50 pm. Approved. Purpose of the post is just to let people know there seems to be a bit of a delay. This is my second 90 day since I returned from abroad, first one I had to do in person at CW ( ongoing issue for many people and I will try postal next time I come back from overseas)

@DrJack54 my bad. TM30 was what I was referring to. This has to be recent. TM47 wasn't required at CW. I would have sent u a DM to clarify but that option is not available.

@DrJack54 yes you did mention TM47 but omitted to say it needs to be recent. I had a TM47 but she deemed it not to be recent. please make sure to mention in other postings that it needs to be recent.

@scoutman360 @DrJack54 I did this about six months ago at CW and it took close to 2 weeks for it to be posted out to me. It’s important that the TM 47 is quite recent as to what quite recent means, I’m not sure. I had one from when I moved into my apartment two years ago and that was deemed too long ago. it didn’t matter that the retirement visa had my housing details, et cetera. She wanted a new TM47.

@oldcpu @jayceenik thanks for the reply

Hi I've been in Thailand for a long time but never needed to get a document in English translated to Thai for official Government purposes. Has any TV member done it recently in Bangkok? Any recommendation? Costs? The translation is for The Legalisation and Naturalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Changwattana Has any TV member used a translation service at Changwattana? Please don't reply if you are having a bad day or if the translation was done outside of Bangkok. Thanks

@KannikaP It’s not mandatory to be snarky nor to reply if you are having a bad day/week/life. Thanks for the reply as I couldn’t recall if it was 2 or 3 months.

Hi How long must the balance remain at 800k after renewing/extending the Retirement Visa? Thanks

@Yagoda thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate on what you bought and which shop you had good service from? It’s sweet that you replied but you are lacking a lot of pertinent information.

@save the frogs Help me a little bit and let me know how I could have phrased the question more clearly?

Hi Any TV member have a recommendation for a physical shop in Bangkok to get a silver ring at a reasonable price (฿2-4k). For the regular posters - I’m looking for a personal recommendation based on a recent experience in Bangkok. Thanks

@villageidiotY2K if you are in Bangkok send me a DM.

My 90-day online report has been rejected. I have about a 50% success rate. I already reserved a booking to do it in person, as their online system is not reliable. I am thinking that maybe next time I will do via the post. Has anyone recently done the report via post? How long does it take? Any advice/suggestions? Their website says 15 days before and mine is due Nov 24 - Does this mean I cant do postal this time. From Immigration website Address - ***Postal Address *** 90 Days Notification Section , Sub-division 2 , Immigration Division 1 , Chalermprakiat Government Complex (B Building) , 120 Moo 3 , Chaengwattana Rd., Soi 7, Toongsonghong, Laksi, Bangkok 10210 Notification by registered mail (Thailand Post only) Prepare the following documents Photocopy of passport pages with following pages – front page showing name / surname / Passport No., etc. – current visa – last entry stamp of immigration – last extension of visa Photocopy (front-back) of departure card TM.6 (if any) Example Previous notifications of staying over 90 days (If the applicant has been notified before and no travel outside the country).

@Upnotover you were listening to live match commentary or just to the hosts talking

Hi I'm not asking how to listen to BBC Radio 5 (app, on-line), but how to listen to BBC 5 Live commentary when its geo-locked as many VPN's no longer are doing the trick. Thanks for your suggestions.
