Thank you so much...

A friend of mine married to a thai-lady who have a child from an earlier marriage. This child is only 5 year old and mom and the son have gone to Thailand (from Sweden) and entered on the swedish passport. Even though they both have passports from both Thailand and Sweden. I am wondering, and my question is therefore. If entered on swedish passport do the 5 year old have to have VISA? Child have stayed the 30 days with mother and mother returning to Sweden without the child. The 5 year old will stay another 2 month with the thai-father.... Will there be a problem with Immigration and VISA??... Can anybody help out here?? Thank you, glegolo

If you like to know about Chaiyaphum..... For years the very same requirements to open a bankaccount for falang: A - tabien ban OR B - Wifes tabien ban OR C - Certficate of recidency D - Passport of course And off we go...

So who really is the victim here you think??? A guy that have to pay for his bad behaviour????? Or the thai people that had the privilage of receiving this drunks bad wordings??

Thank you Brittim and Dr Jack... we are living in Chaiyaphum so we do NOT have these usual problems with banks at all like tourists have... So all good with that. Thank you so much, now we can go on...

Good afternoon, May I ask you for your help? Thing is that a friend of mine will be entering Thailand on a 60 day tourist-VISA. His intentions is to go further and in the end apply for a extension of stay based of Retirement. Yes he is over 50 and he is from Denmark,,, Can you plse tell me how it is being done also what regards timeline to expect it takes as well other stuff that you are aware of... I am very grateful for any help.....

You try to make it looks like a common thing that "thai" people attacks falang. And as an example you use a video of a gang of mobsters/criminels as evidence of that... I think that is just desperate reasoning from your side....

"Interesting" comment really!!! (NOT)...... I have during my 15 years here now NEVER seen a thai attack a falang except 1 single time when this norwegian drunk falang was attacking his wife and thereafter himself was attacked by the neighbours, and that was OK, I think, he deserved that well.. Common occurence is strong words,. especially when you do not give any more explanation to it... If falang learn to NOT mingle or socialize with thai people outside family, and not publicly go out drunk as a wet cat, then we should be OK in most cases.... Finnish mean reaks drunkness and alcohol sorry to say, so my guess is that this finnish man was NOT innocent at all, as the wifey likes to show it....

Thank you so much, appreciated...

Chaiyaphum

Can anybody plse help me and inform what documents is needed to make an 30 day extension of a Tourist-VISA. Thank you so much.

This is a stupid and completely ignorant comment. Grow up and try to adapt to way of life here in Thailand, if you even living here, that is....

You speak of 2 completely different kind of expats. where 1 is the argumentative one (as you said) thinking he knows it all... And the other one is very often a complete novis, left everything to wifey and do not understand the process at all.. But I can tell you that there is a huge crowd of expats, knowing their way around Immigration and the rules, and are fully capable of performing an extension of stay based on retirement. I think that to achieve this level, you really need to show some interest and be part of the process, and not take the easy way out and sleep it out, and let old wifey take charge....

I do 100% fully agree with what you say.... Too many people relay on their wifes and therefore loses control completely, and do not even know the rules that apply to these extensions... Man up, like said...... I mean it reaks of misunderstandings from OP here....

Yes but this Python did NOT own that skin you originally published in this thread... That skin belonged to a Rat snake....

I am a fellow swede, and I say as you guys do. Let this ars-h:le go to jail for a long time....

Thank you so much you guys, for your answers, all is clear for me now without any doubts... Having a O-A, health insurance only needed for retirement not for based on marriage..

F.y.i. I have it confirmed from a close friend that he got his extension (have a O-A) here in Chaiyaphum. He came here on O-A and was going for retirement like he always is.. But did found out that Immigration (Chaiyaphum), said that he needed a health insurance.... He (his wifey) did ask, so if they apply based on marriage instead?? That was OK NO health insurance was needed.... So he got his extension based on marriage and he is happy, So Dr Jack is correct...

A good clear explained answer, thank you so much... And thank you for a nice tone in it as well...

I am still curious if you need health insurance when you have a Non Imm O-A and applying for extension based on marriage????? Retirement is sorted above, no need there I note.....

Does this concern BOTH marriage as well as for retirement reason????

May I ask you guys, how is the rules now when it comes to the demand of health-insurance when you are applying for 1 year extensions based on both marriage as well as retirement when you are having a Non O or a Non O-A in your passport???? Is there any need for a health-insurance??

Thailand MUST stop all these arrivels from Russia until this war is over and resolved.... I do not see it happens with moneyhungry thai on one end of "the rope"...

I have no clue where you might live with that kind of "popular" insights about the situation in Thailand. Sure you really live in Thailand?? Well probably a secluded life in Pattaya it seems. Over my horizon here in Isaan, the money taking by the police out in the streets stopped immediately. They are struggling with Immigration to get that into shape, but at least the very worst of it is gone since 2014..... My falang-life ave gone to a quite good situation since 2014 taking note how Thailand prosper and they are building all over Thailand..... Roads and houses.... You should really stop talking FOR other people, you are just one of them and not all are blind and hateful as you are...
