Hi, I have a question / request. I have just been told that the Scandinavian (Daenen, Sweden and Norwegians) for a Lao visa on arrival, no fees have to pay more. I only knew it from Swiss for an ON-arrival visa (14 days). Does anyone have exact information and can confirm this or just a rumor again.

Thank you

I don't understand having to travel over the border to get the 3mths visa stamp?. If you have a 12mths non- o visa and multiple entry visa already, don't you just have to go to immigration for a 90 day visit? Could you please let me know. 

The Non - o - Multiple entry visa means , you have to cross a border every 3 month. The other, you mentioned, is a visa extension for 12 month, based on retirement or married to a Thai, Than you have to make your 90 day registration at your local immigration office.

My friend just send me a Message from Savannakhet about Multiple Non Immigrant O Visa based on marriage. All as usual no problems no bankstatement :

It is a 30 day visa exempt entry  unless you had a transit visa that allows a 30 entry or you  are from a country that only gets a 30 day entry from a tourist visa instead of 60 days.

Have you extended you 30 day visa exempt entry yet? You can get the extension unless you got your exempt entry from a bilateral agreement.

Thanks. Than I think you are right and may I get an extension first at the immigration. And than I hope they do change the visa in an Non B.

There is no 30 day tourist visa so I assume you have a 30 day visa exempt entry.

It is possible to apply for a 90 day non immigrant visa (category  B ) at some immigration offices. You will need at least 15 days remaining on your entry or the 30 day extension of it.

Thanks ubonjoe, No I got my 30 Day stamp for Thailand when I came from Laos. So I thinks it's not a visa exempt. With this 15 days remaining I heard it to. The office will no be aible to get the paperwork done in this 15 days. That means I can maybe get a 30 day exempt and than change the visa at the immigration,right?

I am sorry to bother you but I would like to know: I am here in Thailand already a long time but by some private circumstances I have only a 30 days on arrival visa. Now I started to work for a university. The problem is that the paperwork is not finished yet. My question is: Can any immigration office in Thailand change my 30 day visa into a Non Immigrant B visa? The office at the university says yes that it  is possible but I have from other people heard the visa can only be made by an embassy or consulat abroad. What is right?

Thank you advance

You are wrong.Some Immigration offices can issue a non immigrant visa based upon qualifying for some type of extension. It has been possible for many years.

Thanks for the information I didn't know just checked it at the mfa-page and copied :         3.3 Foreign citizens who hold a Transit Visa (“TS”) or Tourist Visa
(“TR”) and wish to engage in business activities in Thailand may apply for a change of type of visa (e.g., from Tourist Visa to Non-Immigrant Visa) at the Office of the Immigration Bureau Office located at Government Center B, Chaengwattana Soi 7, Laksi, Bangkok 10210, Tel 0-2141-9889, www.immigration.go.th.  The granting of change of type of visa and extension of stay is at the discretion of the immigration officer.

"Pattaya immigration officer will not change a tourist visa to a Category-O when you meet all requirements and more?   My brother has been turned down in a very rude way by the officer in Pattaya Immigration . " 

Maybe I missed some part but you can not change a tourist visa to a O visa in any Immigration . A visa will be issued by an Thai Embassy or Consulate . Your brother hasn't ask for an extension of his old visa right ? That means the IO been right to refuse the visa , it's not an excuse for being rude.

This is the definitive map for now. i decided to modify the look of the map. Do you find this one more clear and easier. Added more POI and rearranged some of them in the right position. And if anyone wants to print or use the map in their websites i have no problem with that.

The map link is: http://postimg.org/image/xh2c8iejn/full/

Sorry but I think that link is gone. When I click on it I get only 5 pictres from some girls but no maps.

I get the map coming up. Maybe my "porno filter" is switched on???????

I know its a year ago and all was perfect with the map but know it's gone again. Pictures from some girls but no map. Any chance to get the map back ?

I got my Extention transfered in our local Immigration office in less then 15 minutes and payed 50 baht for the tipbox. I don't undertand what kind of hassel the OP means. II showed my pld passport and the new one that's all.

In your case I wouldtn't go to Vientiane. Ger your marriage certificate translated in Thai. thke the copies and the original with your wife and her tavian ban to the Thai Consulate in Savanaketh / Laos. There is no finacial proof required. You have to be there before 11am and you van pick up your Non - O - Multiple Entry next day 2 pm. Visa fee is 5000 Baht.

Again:

Copys of marriage certificate and original

Copys of your passport

Copys if you wife's ID signed by her

Copy of her housepaper signed by her

I do it for many years without any problems

Is Thai Buddhism a religion or a teaching?

Yes please, reform it post haste! I am sick of seeing monks smoking cigarettes, driving pick-ups or riding 3 wheelers....and I have heard there are some who drink alcohol and fraternize with woman.

Totally disgusting behavior!

And eating meat or wearing 2nd hand animal skins.

It's more teaching and a philosophie. There is no God / Allah or something else People are pray to get enlightened same as Buddha. It's a common misunderstanding to say Buddhists praiing to Buddha. Buddha i gone to Nirvana and can not help anymore. He left the directions / teaching words how to behave and to live.

.

It is the fate of all religions to be corrupted with time.

BTW what is "Thai" Buddhism?

The term Thai Buddhism i lack of education and information becaue it dosn't exist. It is the Theravada school in Thailand supposed to be the original way but there are many others to ; Two major extant branches of Buddhism are generally recognized: Theravada ("The School of the Elders") and Mahayana ("The Great Vehicle"). Theravada has a widespread following in Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar etc.). Mahayana is found throughout East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan etc.) and includes the traditions of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Shingon, and Tiantai (Tendai). In some classifications, Vajrayana—practiced mainly in Tibet and Mongolia, and adjacent parts of China and Russia—is recognized as a third branch, with a body of teachings attributed to Indian siddhas, while others classify it as a part of Mahayana.

Just go back to Savannakhet and get a new Non -O Multiple Entry. My neighbour is doing it for years, never a problem.

Have a talk with some of the Taxidrivers. I met guys in Surin / Sisaket they got a lift for 3500 - 4000 Baht with taxi.

Cheap busses are not recommended then better take Nakhon Chai air around 560 baht/trip

You can expect an average of 10 baht per kilometer.

I have used the Silver Star pool many times. Nice sized and clean pool. I managed to go there during the school day when it was quiet which was ideal for me. From memory it was about 50 baht per visit to use.

Sounds great!

Where is it, by the way?

Thank you
