  1. Hi ubonjoe,

    Still the most reliable and patient poster on thaivisa IMO. 2 questions from an old fart like me. Thank you in advance for your patience as you have probably answered them before (I could not find similar case)

     

    1. My non-immig visa for employment and my work permit end on May 31. Does the extension to July 31 apply to me

    2. What procedures if any do I have to go through e.g. do i have to go to CW and fill out a form before May 31 or something else?

     

    Thank you

  2. There is a book in this ... Fiscal Management in a Kleptocracy or Hands Off, who cares? As long as I'm OK

     

    "Spillovers from ultra-loose monetary policies of advanced economies also risk undermining financial stability in emerging economies, Veerathai said."

     

    = not my or our fault (sounds familiar). Them evil advanced economies dunnit to us

    "Emerging market central banks need to follow their advanced nations' counterparts in delaying normalisation of ultra-loose monetary policies to prevent their currencies from appreciating,"

     

    Too late for that, I am afraid, my facile friend. = We do not know what to do. Hopefully, Veerathai is just pretending to be incompetent

    call me crazy but I would like a meeting with B.J, I have a very heavy weight on my chest and (for the obvious reasons) can't write about it but would be willing to explain to him face to face, if he speaks another language besides Thai,  without a translator (3rd party translations get distorted) maybe he's an open mind type guy and could listen to some of us, I don't know but it's an idea, we keep claiming that we don't count, they don't need us or want us, maybe it's not the case and we are all wrong, maybe they do $$$$ value us

    Please take your sensible sentences medication and try again.

    You can either apply for it near the end of the 90 day entry or change the reason for your extension after having it canceled at immigration.

    If you had to get a non-o visa it would be best to get one at a nearby embassy or consulate rather that a tourist visa.

    Hi Joe

    In changing the reason for the extension to retirement, I presume you have to have the 800000 baht in the bank for the three months etc. Is that correct? Or do they give you some time to get that organised?

    And for people who have a fixed deposit with 800000 bahts or more, how does it work ?

    on the saving account, according to "and the remaining balance must be no less than THB 400,000 or; ", we must have always  at least  400000 bahts ? 

    Hi Aforek

    Have not seen a clear response to your query. What is the story? Can you hold 800000 in a fixed deposit and meet the requirements?

     

    Can you let me know if you found out pls

  6. Wow!! We decry money politics and corruption here in the land of smiles but the NRA and complicit politicians are in a league of their own

    If it is true that guns don't kill people, what about issuing all the NRA families' school kids with guns to both test that proposition and let Darwinism settle the debate. Also, media rights would be through the roof - what a deal that would be, Mr P!

  7. There's something about Bairstow that evokes David Brent from The Office. Might be the complete lack of insight into self. Might be the moronic 'just a laugh' comments. Another sporting team dealt successfully with off field idiocy and worse through using the player-inspired motto: "No dickheads!" They transformed into a professional outfit and won their national competition.

    It's been going on every year for decades, serious wealth

    Yes that is right. Cheating and lying are endemic and admired and do not attract the same disapproval as in other cultures. HOwever culture is an explanation not an excuse. Look at Singapore - same particularist culture but able to mature into a thriving (mostly) law abiding economy with trustworthy institutions - especially the police a particular target of Lee Kwan Yew.

     

    Thailand, fast becoming the village idiot of the ASEAN community, remains an epicenter of BS. Just don't get caught! No wonder young people in ASEAN countries say on social media "Don't Thai to me!"
