pub2022

Just look at von der Leyen, Macron and Starmer.

The party is over.

Reciprocal tariffs is the right thing to do.

UPDATE

I've done my visa change from exempt entry to NON O retirement (it's actually a visa application, model TM87) with money in the bank option, in Chiang Mai.

The experience was quite smooth, no crazy long wait or requests.

There is a new model to fill in for "fact checking information" STM 11. Easy one.

Because of all the Immigration holidays in April I happened not to have enough days left for my application (even though I applied almost one month in advance), so I had to pay 1900 baht for a visa exempt 30 day exstension I could have avoided if going there 2 days earlier. So mind on that!

I paid the 2000 baht fee for the visa application and I was given a receipt saying that application is under consideration, and I have to come back on 24-4-25 to get the 90 day stamp.

I applied on 28-3-25.

My actual permission to stay expires on 22-5-25.

Question: do you maybe know what date my 90 day stamp will start from?

Cheers

Dear all,

I'm going to apply for a visa change from exempt entry to NON O retirement at Chiang Mai Immigration Office, with money in the bank.

They're asking for Bank Saving Certificate  - seven day validity - see attachment:

What is this? What does it mean? Letter from the bank stating that...?

Thanks.

If I check hotel's prices, it seems to be more expensive than what it used to be for march and april, so there's still enough tourists looking for rooms to stay.

Russians, making trouble everywhere they go.....

Never as much as the English and French.

Why should Thailand care what the european parliament says?

The EU is just tyranny.

Is it possible that you're mentally not capable?

You could give a call to the Foreign Minister of Thailand.

No need to pay tax in Thailand if your country has a double taxation agreement with Thailand.

Unless, of course, you are working here with a regular work permit.

I always wonder what these young people do in life? Don't they study or work?

Yes, you are right:

1. Too many tourists.

2. And most of the time they are irrespectful.

3. Thais are on average less poor (more rich) than before.

4. Covid has worsen general attitude.

5. Globalization

etc

If you did not get corrupted money from USAID then you are far right fascist.

If you are a honest person, you are far right.

If you belong to the middle class and do not have the money to keep your heater on during winters, then you are far right.

If you pretend your government to first help you and, only after, foreigners, then you are far right.

The pattern is clear now.

They have no idea what long-term planning is
and they are sloppy in everything they do.

My money is on the covid19 vaccine.....mark my words.....yet another cover up.

That could well be the case, many 'sudden deaths' among young and less young people in the world.

That should be what is required.

Banks should not be stamping statements you print off from banking app.

Nor should immigration accept them.

Suggest anyone using Bangkok Bank order bank statements from your bank.

In case of first extension, how many months should the bank statement be and starting from when?

Thanks

 but this time IO said I should not be able to convert 60 day to Retirement. Took me four visits to immigration to get it.

Can you please elaborate?

Why not able to convert and which Immigration Office?

Thanks

By the way they ride/drive, I would expect something like this to happen more often.

R.I.P. young boy.

Everything that doesn't follow the main stream narrative is far-right.

If there's a chance Farage wins next general election there will simply be no election.
