Your recollection is incorrect, the rule is not more than 100Wh this is equivalent to a 20,000mAh power bank

Stop driving!

Anywhere between 3,500 Baht and over 28,000 Baht, and yes, we have built both

You are confusing PU with polystyrene

I think you will find that there is only 1 coating plant in Thailand in Rayong they produce a variety of materials. There are several/many roll-forming plants but as far as I can see all roll material is produced in Rayong. There are even mobile roll-forming processors for those who need longer lengths. we even visited one of the roll-forming plants FWIW the BLUESCOPE Zacs® material is a lower specification product with a shorter guarantee, ⅓ less than the standard BLUESCOPE

convert a visa exempt to a non o?
sometimewoodworker replied to onekoolguy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You certainly see more reports than anyone else I know of, and there are a few offices that are known to be difficult. There are probably unpublished rules but I don’t recall many reports of the nature you are suggesting. -
convert a visa exempt to a non o?

I was probably not clear enough. I was not talking about anything other than getting the Non-O Visa from immigration, as he was (for some reason) denied that. That process, as you are well aware of I’m sure but others may not know, requires at least a 2 visits to the same immigration office. So a couple of weeks visit to an area will usually be sufficient. So after getting the Non-O he is of course free to return to Bangkok and can then continue with the extension process there. You say that you are required to continue the process at the office where your Non-O was issued, That is in nothing that I have seen, I certainly could be wrong but can’t see anything requiring that. There is nothing that I can see requiring or even suggesting that you should stay for 3 months. Possibly the wording Could bee seen to imply that, though isn’t it more likely that it is actually referring to the 90 day permission to stay that will be granted by the issuance of (and immediate use of) the Non-O visa? There can be no suggestion that there is a requirement for a period of stay before applying for the initial Non-O visa certainly not 3 months. -

As mentioned the minimum is 15 days left on his permission to stay, some offices may require 21 days, Chang Mai is one that needs 21 days. If he has enough time and can show that his 800k was from overseas or in some cases that it has been on deposit for a substantial period of time, he may be able to take a trip to another area to stay for a couple of weeks and apply in a different area. Bangkok is not known to be difficult so he probably applied late or without fund origin proof. -
While it may be possible to do a bodge job like that it isn’t going to be easy as you won’t have the exact location of the beams and purlins. Also you won’t be able to put the silver foil radiant barrier, which is the single cheapest and most effective component of a roofing system. You certainly can, probably should, add silver faced foil to the metal sheeting but by installing it directly onto tile you reduce its effectiveness.

There is a reasonably thorough investigation when a citizenship application is checked, while having a yellow book address In Bangkok is, in itself, not a problem, purporting to live in a location that you don’t, so not being scrupulously honest and transparent could be a barrier. If, of course, you actually live some of the time at the Bangkok address it will probably not make much difference.

The situation with an amphur refusing to issue a yellow book will usually need Until the head of the amphur changes. A way that may help to change the mind of the office officials would be to recruit a high level government officer to accompany you, that, along with a contribution to the tea fund may be of assistance.

@Norlund you are welcome to continue posting the English translations of the originating Thai language, there is no basis in fact of your total incomprehension of the point that a Thai translator uses the shorthand “visa” instead of the accurate “permit to stay” or “extension of stay” It seems that you are also misunderstanding the fact that Thailand is possibly unique in splitting the visa out from the permit to stay. All Thai visas have an “enter before date” after which they expire or become invalid. In most countries this is the last date you can stay in that country. Thailand is different in that you are often given permission to stay beyond the expiration date of your enter before, visa
-
No it proves your deliberately obfuscating the facts
-
No it is a misstatement of the correct “in Thailand you must have been given “permission to stay” based on entering on a Non-O or a Non-immigrant long stay (usually 1 year) visa
-
There are a number of websites that use the shorthand wording that you need a VISA none of them bother to use the correct “in Thailand you must have been given “permission to stay” based on entering on a Non-B or a Non-O based on being married to a Thai”
-
Yes.
-
Once again you are categorically wrong. You are basing your protestations on a site that says Also you are insisting that the English wording must be taken as the ruling and only interpretation despite the caveat “ The translation of this document is for information purposes only.” This is on all guidance
-
You should really read your own post. I responded to what you wrote, not what you imagined you wrote however in respect of Thailand a 10 second search comes up with this titled “Extension of temporary stay under Section 15” https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=2324 so are you trying to deliberately misrepresent the truth? Or are your searches incompetent?
-
Thanks, but the arguments are facetious and so easy to debunk. No you do not. If you are in Thailand you must have been given “permission to stay” based on entering on a Non-B or a Non-O based on being married to a Thai national, there may be other visa entries that permit work but these are the 2 main ones
-
My 30 second search tells me that you are either terribly incompetent in searching or are lying to try to prove your claims are valid https://www.uscis.gov/visit-the-united-states/extend-your-stay https://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/extension_of_stay.html https://www.pica.gov.jm/immigration/extension-of-stays https://www.ica.gov.sg/enter-depart/extend_short_stay these are on the first page of the search using the terms “Extension Of Stay” and only cover 4 governments, there are many more.

The problem you are having is that Thai officials and all immigration officials use Thai as the overruling authority. They use English as a convince for the vast majority of people who don’t read Thai. You are also giving a link to a Sukhumvit law firm that you claim to be a udon immigration site. The real Udon immigration site is at https://udonthani.immigration.go.th So all your protestations of the terms are rubbish and your insistence on the meanings are totally baseless, Thais will use something that is similar to the concept but not exactly the same As everyone is telling you a single entry visa is used and no longer valid as soon as you are granted permission to stay in Thailand. Visas in Thailand are never extended despite your instance. A Thai visa allows you to present yourself to an immigration officer the IO will usually then mark the visa as used and give you permission to stay, again usually, based on the visa you have or don’t have. In most cases this permission to stay can be extended, in some cases it will allow you to apply for a visa in Thailand, that the English translation says you must have a visa to apply makes no difference, you no longer have a valid visa as it is used or you never had one. The visa you are granted in Thailand will be immediately marked as used and you will be given a permission to stay, so this visa will have a life of minutes before it is used. It is the wording on the passport “EXTENSION OF STAY PERMITTED” “APPLICATION OF STAY IS UNDER CONSIDERATION” ”TO KEEP YOUR STAY PERMIT,” all of these are synonymous with “permission to stay” there is nothing about a visa extension (because visas can never be extended). However much you may wriggle and insist that the English meaning is correct you are wrong.
