Is it working for you today [lease? Last time no issues but cannot get beyond log in, same password , I have tried Chrome is it compatible or is another browser always better IE Safari FF etc? Chrome I read is the most popular. Or would the app be a better bet, I am not sure I want my passport details on a phone that could be lost or stolen. Also what is the window is it same as in person weeks early up to one week late please? They are trying like SRT to use latest technology which should save us all time but I have the feeling like so much that software contracts are not always on proven merit?

Mae Sai visa excempt entry
RubbaJohnny replied to chris carre's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I assume you do not have a Thai or Myanmar ID, the old footbridge crossing in town centre was closed to foreigners last month due I believe to internal factors in Burma. The new out of town crossing is for border freight only I was told not foot crossing for foreigners certainly. To save a wasted journey I would await reports here or why not call Thai immigration, Of course they cannot control what the other side does, but will know on the day ? Good luck Address: 117 Wiang Phang Kham, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai 57130 Hours: Closes soon ⋅ 4:30 PM ⋅ Opens 8:30 AM Fri Phone: 053 731 008 -
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Dear UbonJoe,
RubbaJohnny replied to Jacques MERIDEUR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks so much for your calm informed helpful advice over many years. I am sure I am not alone in benefitting from your posts that save time fuss and anxiety Many Happy returns -
Good luck as Joe says 60 days will give you some breathing space. Perhaps you may wish to take family to your native country ? You give scant info but do the kids have foreign passports, this may be something you wish to consider and whether rex wife consents etc. There are many other types of visa via employment , vacation , our experts here may have other ideas for you. believe being a parent if your child is under 18? Then depend n your age you could possibly try for retirement if over 50? I have wondered what happens if Thai wife dies, do they allow enough time to season the 800k , even if imported day 1 it won't allow a 60 day extension 2 months required. Would I be better as an insurance and not wishing to leave the country deposit an extra 400k on top of the 400k in my Thai bank used only for non O marriage route please?

Catering Services Return on Select SRT Routes
RubbaJohnny replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
You must be a time traveller? The long awaited railway to C Rai is still after many years at the construction stage, perhaps your iced ale was to Chiang Mai. Only a Johnny WALKER can get to C Rai from Den Chai at present due to the old buffers and sleepers at SRT planning. -
Photos for marriage visa extension
RubbaJohnny replied to Katsura's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I have been dealing with same office for a while, the requirements size , how many per page seem to vary, as they send off to C Mai for approval. Luckily I am close to their office , print shop so no big deal. I realize for some less mobile or a long over night trip in some areas you wish to be prepped for anything so call and ask them what size they wish. I always arrive with a few spares a "Pritt glue stick" and plenty of time. Last renewal applied 55 minutes , collection 6 weeks later 10m so just over an hour of my year 1900 baht DIY 200 for the bank letter same day, 120 for the pix at print shop so 6 baht a day to live in LOS Since Covid I've avoided being first in morning and try t be first after lunch about 20m as I know they all wish to knock off early at 4, there is now a pleasant waiting area aircon, free drinks wi-fi , comfy sofas so no stress compared to hot dusty queues I recall when employed by the state and expenses paid journeys to Soi Suan Phlu? -
Re the 20k to show There were large signs in English right at the foreign entry desks at Mae Sai last time I looked .That border is closed. I sometimes have that amount in Thai or $ but always carry my bank book and a few visa cards. If push came to shove my wife could walk the 5m to teh ATM to "top me up" I have a non O and in 25 years have never been asked to show cash/onward tickets nor questioned by any immigration entry officer. I have been asked by Australian airlines to show visa/onward etc but that is another issue to the OPs concern. I may not be Saville Row but I do not wear flip flops shorts or similar 'casual' attire sported by many older gentlemen who wish to appear youthful or as once used "with it". I very much doubt a person with a valid visa who reasonably dressed, calm , polite will have any issues. I do always carry a cell phone with wife and lawyers number as not fluent Thai speaker yet!

ATTENTION Transfer visa to new passport
RubbaJohnny replied to MrNatural's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
My friendly office at present I think they only have a handful of farangs local since the pandemic did transfer free in about 5m. Like all such matters I always try to arrive first. I do realize other offices may differ . Chiang Saen office has free tea coffee, hot or cold water, clean western bathrooms and smiling efficient staff. It is good to remember the counter staff do not make the rules . As smooth as silk, a great improvement since old days in Bangkok an some other provinces. -

Mor Prom booster fix to add new vaccination any ideas
RubbaJohnny replied to RubbaJohnny's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Thanks all I managed to get a response to one email and my nationality corrected on Thai certificate and booster added, Mor Prom still missing one but have scanned teh q codes onto an EU app and printed. Many say unnecessary but as recently as last week some countries were regarding vax over days as "expired , spent" All I can say having spent several thousand bucks on tickets I am going belt and braces. Don' shoot the messenger in what is a dynamic situation and I thought I'd get my ducks in aa row while I have lots f free time and not have to check the regs in some less well known destinations like Liechtenstein Slovenia Serbia and Montynegro and Hercegovina on my visit to Dubrovnik/Ragusa I may pass through which, I believe ae all outside the Schengen area, for which I have entry so will have entry control for me. " Germany. Following the Commission's recommendation, the German authorities recognise only vaccination certificates that prove that the holder has received the last vaccine dose within the last nine months. This means that Germany has shortened the validity of vaccination passes from 12 to nine months. Vaccine Certificate Validity for Each Schengen/EU Member ..." -
