  1. Sorry but JeffreyMcCollum has a point.

    He should not be overcharged with the "well this is Thailand" from the owner, the owner is responsible for the actions and competence of his staff.

    As for what JeffreyMcCollum spends that is up to him, he should still get the correct bill.

    I ate there once and would not bother again, but that is my choice.

    I belive that you are not correct. I used your "logic" and was told by immigration that I was wrong.

    They advised that the renewal date is linked to the end date of your PERMISSION TO STAY (the TM6 Departure Card) which could be up to 90 days after the expiry date of your visa (if you did a 90 day visa run a day or so before your main visa expiry date).

    That is what I was told be immigration and what i am "trying" to check in case it was a "flight of fancy" by a particular officer.

    I think post #201 answers my question.

  3. I went to do an EXTENSION OF STAY (TM7) yesterday, it was my first. I had booked an on-line appointment for 14:30.

    When I arrived the officer at the first desk as you go in just said "sit down and wait for your name to be called", he did not take any paperwork from me, so nobody knew I was there.

    At 14:40 I went to one of the "RETIREMENT VISA" desks and asked a very polite lady if I should just sit and wait or what?

    She briefly examined my passport and told me:

    The expiry date I should be concerned with is not that of my 1 year Non "O" from Hull (UK) based on age which expires on 22 June, but the ADMITTED TO date on my TM6 Departure card, which is 22 August.

    This surprised me because by then my visa will have expired so how can it be extended?

    Anyway, I am just seeking reassurance that she has not invented some "rules" for herself and that it is the TM6 end date that is the one to work to.

    Many thanks

  4. Am I correct in assuming that the letter of Income Confirmation needs to be in Thai rather than English.

    I ask because in Thai it costs 3,500 baht but in English only 2250 baht.

  5. I am 70 and currently have a Non O 12 month visa from the UK which I intend to extend on the basis of "pension income" (letter from British Consulate) later this month. Currently I have to do 90 day visa runs to Myanmar, my question is, with the visa extension will I do 90 reporting instead of visa runs.

    Thanks for any information on this.
