So the Israelis and the Americans don't want Palestinians to settle in Arab countries. WRONG!

2 months before 3 months after At least 400K baht the rest of the year THE WORDING OF THE LAW: (1) Must have been granted a non-immigrant visa (Non-Im) (2) Must be 50 years of age or over (3) Must have evidence of having income of no less than THB 65,000 or; (4) At least 2 months prior to filing date, and at least 3 months after being granted permission, the alien must have fund deposited in a bank in Thailand of no less than THB 800,000.

In the medical field the modern standard is to refer men who have sex with men. That includes the large percentage of such people who don't identify as gay.

Based on Trump's obvious dementia, people are saying that he's a few steps short of the next floor.

Grasping at straws. The leg raises are a brilliant touch.

You have to be a complete moron to trust Putin.

The statue is down but the image of it lives on the internet forever.

He really shouldn't complain. He did better than I would have expected facing such a personal crisis. He walked up the escalator as anyone else would have. I'm really surprised that he didn't do a chest thump and victory raise at the top. What a hero is our president!

Sadly? That's rich.

Putin thanks you.

Aha. You're lucky they don't keep the old passport. Well you could fly back home on the old passport last minute if it's clear the new one won't arrive. Or not. Are there direct flights there? I don't know if they'd let you board if there's a connection. Another option if you think the new one won't likely to be very late. Find a very good agent who might be able to manage such a situation, understanding that would cost and there would be overstay fines.

I think in countries that aren't banning gay donors, it's based on answers to questions about sexual activity, etc. A gay person who has been celibate for ten years is a better risk than a slutty straight person.

Yeah that makes sense to me. If they take the old passport to process the renewal and there's a high risk the new one won't arrive in time, leaving Thailand on the old passport to apply from home country is a sure but likely very expensive solution.

OK I think I get it now. You won't be able to start the renewal process until 50 days from now and you're worried that won't be enough time. Do you know if your embassy will take your current passport while you're waiting for the new one or if you'll be allowed to keep it? In my case I had to surrender my old passport while waiting and that's a stressful feeling even if you do have lots of time until the visa/extension expiration.

Well you do have a lot of time until the next extension. That's good. I assume you've tried to contact your embassy to plead your case for an exception to waiting that long? Yes, being caught with an overstay passport or unable to show any passport would be very bad. I assume you have a copy of the info in your current passport. Sometimes just showing a copy and the current valid visa/extension satisfies. I'm still unclear. Right now you do or don't have your physical current passport with you?

Perhaps contact your embassy and ask if they could do something to expedite this? I know the U.S. says you can't order expedited service for passport renewals from Thailand but maybe they could do something in such a serious situation.

Russian propaganda's response is that Russia is not a paper tiger. It's a bear. Like Winnie the Pooh?

What's your current status on the old passport as far as current visa / extension to stay type?

Good question. I was flirting with such a disaster myself on my last passport renewal. I'm curious about the answers. You might want to say your nationality. I think in general you might be able to get an emergency travel passport as not having any valid passport is like losing a passport.
