IIRC she has a Thai ID card and does not need even a Thai passport to return to Thailand. Theoretically she should need a passport to catch a flight, but I think that could be waived.

Why not lock up all the generals who committed treason against the state by committing illegal military coups. If a coup is illegal, then any punishment resulting from the illegal coup must be illegal too?

You seem to be unable to understand sarcasm.

What punishment would that be? Unable to drink in a bar for one whole day? What a cruel and unusual punishment. I should complain to the United Nations Human rights Committee if I were you.

Thank you. I do have the form, but I need to see the hospital doctor the get it signed off, which is working hours, Monday to Friday as it is not an emergency. Who better than a doctor to prove that I am alive.

But it WAS my fault and NOT that of Immigration. BTW it is a marriage extension and NOT a retirement extension.

Thank you.

I certainly would not accept ANY AI overview information.

Well the life certificate that I received yesterday clearly show that a stamp IS required, so your information may need to be updated. On page 6 there is a place for an official stamp underneath the 4 lines about Photographic proof seen by the witness. Please record country of issue and reference number. 1. Passport details 2. National identity card 3. Driving licence 4. Other (please specify) My LC was dated 06 January 2025 and I have 16 weeks to return the form by airmail. I would rather believe the paper in my hand that a poster on AN. If necessary I can redact the personal details on the form, scan both sides and post it on this thread. There are 6 pages in all.

If your girlfriend is registered in the Thai health system she should be able to visit the local doctor or hospital and get it signed there. NO lawyer is necessary. I went to my local hospital last week and all it cost was 50 thb for the doctors fee and the cashier stamped the form. Your girlfriend will be given 16 weeks from the date of the letter to return the completed form to the DWP. There is a thread running where posters have discussed prices for returning the form via Thai Post. Prices vary but the best price seems to be a longtabien for about 270 thb which can be tracked and gets to the DWP in a week or 10 days.

I am registered with the Thai local hospital and they charge 50 thb for the doctors fee and the stamp.

Thank you. I have tried this link and also messaged the government computer online and ended up in a circle with the message telling me to call a government phone number on Monday ro Friday from 8am to 6pm UK time. I opened a self assessment Gateway account about 20 years ago which has not been used for at least 10 years and I have no record of the ID or password or even the email account that I used back then. I have searched my 3 email accounts and they all came up with the computer equivalent of "Duh". I will try again later in the week and see if any human people work at the DWP.

Thank you. I used to have a self assessment account years ago but after replacing my pc a couple of times all the details are lost somewhere in cyber space.

Are you using the app, and if so, is it on your smart phone or on your pc? I want to load it onto my pc, but I have no idea how to do it.

I suppose it is possible. IF the DWP stops wasting time and money on postage and sends an email to each individual with a copy of the Life Certificate, allows the return by email and confirms the receipt of the form by email. There is a lot of ifs there.

It came as a separate sheet of paper with the proof of Life certificate. Oddly enough it was the 1 sheet out of 10 that I didn't scan. However here it is.

Something like this perhaps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A321neo

What a surprise. On 1st February I received a request for a life certificate from the Ministry of Defence. Today, 1 week later I got another, this time from the DWP wanting confirmation of the same details and checking to see that I am still alive. The difference is that I can email the MoD with a scanned copy of the form but the DWP want their copy sent back by airmail. I do however have 16 weeks from 06 January 2025 to return it by. They also want to go paperless and tell me that I can download their app, open an account and do away with all the paperwork. This is not much use as the app only works on a smart phone and not on my pc which is where I want it.

Perhaps McDonalds will be contracted to do the catering for State functions.

Rubbish.

No surprise from that poster at all. It is his usual line of defence when people criticise his posts.

They should have been fined a minimum of 30,000 baht for each offence, jailed for 2 months consecutively on each offence and then deported and banned from Thailand for life.

Don't forget to put Netanyahu, his war criminal cabinet and all the top IDF generals on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity as well. That won't happen either as neither Israel nor the USA are signatories to the ICC. (I wonder why not?)

The Kings Guard loyalty is t he King only. The army's loyalty is to themselves and to the king in name only. The main army is side lined.

I very much doubt it. Military coups in Thailand usually start in Bangkok. The army in Bangkok is controlled now by the Kings Guard whose loyalty is to someone much higher than the army commanders, (who by the way also profess loyalty to the King). So to plan and execute a successful military coup the Army will first have to eliminate the Kings Guard, and I don't think that there are any generals who are not in the Kings Guard, that can order and are brave enough to successfully run a military coup. I could well be wrong, but I don't think that I am.
