I'd rather spend the usual 30 minutes once a year and spend the money I'd saved on something nice.

I doubt that is the thought process of many using agents. People use agents for their own convenience.

What overstay?

Both parents are needed until the passport applicant is 21.

Cannot change passports at border. Need to fly out and back.

And?

My daughter grew up tri lingual. From day one I spoke English to her, my wife spoke Thai and Villagers mostly Khmer. No need to stick to one.

I was replying in regards to a criminal record in Thailand. Those with criminal records overseas can get visas and extensions themselves. No checks. No need for agents. I know of a couple of expats who have been in prison in their native countries that nowcreside legally in Thsiland.

Stop talking b$#@%kS.

Busy body you say? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Asking for a visa agent with no other info is inane. Is it a Thai visa he needs for himself? A visa for his wife/partner to travel? In answer to his second post, does he need financial assistance? Help with residence confirmation? TM30? Just help with documents? Different agents in different places offer different services.

He's already said, on a previous thread, his friend was working there many years ago.

Non B.

No, you cannot. Unless you teach in a school not governed by OBEC, which are few and far between.

The issue here, I believe, is teaching legally. I have pointed out how it needs to be done. You say you have a TESOL degree. That will suffice. I believe the minimum level of degree is TESOL is MA.

The rest of the country is no different to Bangkok. If the school is governed by OBEC, a teaching licence or waiver is needed to get a work permit. To get one you need a degree. State schools and most private, non international schools, are governed by OBEC. A TESOL alone will get you nowhere.

I don't post bilge. You may think I do, but I don't. I'd like to see some examples of what you think is " often post bilge". Thanks.

You appear to have confused me with someone else.

I can hear your cornermen shouting. " Chomper, Chomper, twist, turn, you've got to get off the ropes"

That's the biggest contradiction you've ever posted. You never acknowledge other's opinions. It's always "link please".

So, as I said, if right wingers are the ones blaming immigrants..........

No. You did that. You said extreme right wingers blame immigrants. You did not differentiate. Now that you are just proves a point.

If those concerned with immigration are all extreme right wing, Labour won't get a look in at the next general election. Tories will sweep the board. Reform UK will also have their best ever results.

Had you continued to pay after you retired by way if voluntary contributors, you'd have got more. You likely knew living in Thailand would freeze your pension prior to settling here. It was your choice. They don't want your votes. They are giving you the option to vote if you want to.

A large percentage of the public are concerned about immigration. They blame it for the problems with NHS, housing crisis, education and the economy.

But a pension none the less. You can only get out what you put in. You could have paid voluntary payments to increase your entitlement. I guess you didn't.
