stament

indeed, plenty of icing and don't forget Spurs getting thumped too. Not many more perfect days than that for us..... Once in a blue moon "some might say....." ????

Brentford in the Carabao, arguably one of the toughest draws.

@Russell17au When are you planning to submit? Is there a "minimum" number of days you need to submit before expiry?

I'm thinking perhaps it was a substitute for the home visit which never happened presumably because of covid-19 worries. I had to go their with my wife and witness who were asked questions whilst I largely sat quietly.

Hi Ubon Joe thanks for your swift response. I didn't have a "home visit" at my house last time, perhaps due to Covid-19 restrictions. However, my wife, witness and I did have an interview at the Immigration offices which I recall was after we submitted the original extension, so perhaps that was a substitute for the "home visit"

Forgive me, but I cannot remember the exact process even though I've done it once before! 1). When submitting my visa extension I recall my wife need to be with me, have I remembered correctly? 2) On the date of submission do you automatically get the 30 days under consideration? 3). When does the interview take place? I seem to recall about 2 weeks after submission and a witness was required but I can't recall exactly. I should have written these steps down to go with the required info! Hindsight such a wonderful thing. Thanks in advance.

I didn't I thought it ended in December which is what I stated in my original post. No secret.

No visa ended in January 2021.

Apart from the usual paperwork do you still need a witness on the second time of renewing or is that process dropped?

correct, apologies for the confusion. I originally had a multi non-immigrant O Visa based (obtained outside of Thailand) on my marriage to my Thai wife. I then applied for the one year extension (from within Thailand) to this last year and obtained it. I am applying for the extension again.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes I got this it was stamped as 23 November 2020 and another stamp said to report back on 23rd December 2020. My visa extension says I am permitted to stay up until 23rd November 2021. When should I apply to ensure I get a full one year's extension? I understand that you can apply up to 45 days before the expiry which means I am already within that 45 day window. Thanks in advance.

Interesting is this only for marriage visas and if so any logic behind it?

Yes, need to check the dates and revert back

That's good! UK authorities aren't smart enough to offer that it seems. Happy to be proven wrong!

LOL, I was thinking of me, I had the Sinovac/Astra combo. Re my wife, I don't give excuses, not needed.

????

Can they correct it later? Maybe a better phrase is will they...

Apologies Dante and all, Spouse visa

No mention of a 3rd jab. I wonder if a combination of sinovac/AZ plus 3rd jab of AZ/Pfizer/Moderna would meet the criteria?

When should you submit your extension? Last year I submitted mine early and they didn't start the 12 months taking into account my expiry date so effectively I think my visa expiry was something like 22 Dec but they gave me the extension until 23 November so I lost out on about 1 month. The money isn't so much annoying (11 months vs 12) as much as the time being short-changed. Is there a way to prevent this? Was what they did the normal way of doing extensions? They advised people to come early due to all the covid issues so I did but then it appears I got "shafted!." Reminds me of the time I arrived with a 3 month visa and they stamped me on arrival at the airport for just one month. I had to visit Immigration and go through all the hassle of getting them to admit their mistake and correct it. As I am coming up for my renewal again, I'm wondering when I should submit if my expiry date is 23 November for example. If I submit one week before do I get an extension or will I have to leave the country by 23rd November if my visa hasn't been processed by then? Thanks in advance TV members.

Sinovac not an approved medicine.....

I've read quite a few articles on here relating to fixed one year contracts that have been renewed and employee entitlements over severance but it doesn't seem to be clear to me, hence the post. Note this post isn't for teachers where I understand different rules may apply depending on whether the teacher works for a government school or private one. 1) It is my understanding that it's quite common for foreigners to be offered 1 year contracts that are renewed each year. The question is are these contracts for a fixed term temporary and therefore do not entitle the employee to any sort of severance/redundancy benefits that an open contract would do? Some of the posts I read state that successive one year contracts in effect treat the person as an employee. Further if the role within the contract continues after the expiry of say the second 1-year contract then the person is entitled to severance, and if so under what exact conditions? Grateful for any advice and experiences from fellow members. 2) Furthermore, if the the first year contract expires but a new one isn't offered upon the expiry date but the person still continues to work, would the answer to 1) be any different? Thanks in advance.

Typical as I have recently added Alonso to my team.

Knowledge is the bomb as someone once said. Guessing from your response you don't expect the winner to achieve less than 75 points now. ????

Life is like a box of chocolates. What is staggering for you isn't so for me. It would be boring if we were all the same. Prediction for this week's game @keithsimmonds?
