You appear to feel a lot of disdain towards many things Thai. Why bother?

A good move by him. It's going to get votes.

Not a policy change. Only confirming the date that was previously unconfirmed. It's unlikely the current government will still be in power by 2025. I wonder what the new powers that be will do.

If you are working for an agency, with correct visa and work permit, you will have a contract with the school. Without a contract from a registered education establishment, agencies are not, you cannot get a work permit, KSP waiver or licence, B visa or extension of stay. Sure, the agency likely issued an English contract between them and teacher but, like you said, it's worth nothing.

I did say "to be announced".

I would think the reasons on the application would need to be the same. If she has a visa to visit partner but the relationship has broken down, that would be a problem.

You said " risk". Not " experience of". One kid in Nofolk does not a dangerous country make.

New figures to be announced. Only affecting new arrivals. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/home-office-climbs-down-on-plans-to-hike-salary-thresholds-for-family-visas/

In some places in UK. Some pubs. Some places in Isaan too.

Sarcasm? Try asking the expats in Thailand. Many of them wouldn't be able to answer.

Trial by TV? Interesting.

The OP does seem confused. That's why he's on hear looking for advice. It's good, not weird, that some have given it

Not weird at all. Check the comment I quoted.

A marriage extension, the type i imagine you are on now but call a "Thai wife visa", only requires 400k.

I've never been burgled in 23 years. That brings the average down. Anyone else?

The application process is not difficult. Follow the guidelines, offer up the required paperwork, pay the fees, lodge application. The process is the same whether an agent is used or not.

My recommendation is, don't use an agent. If certain details mean application refusal, so be it.

Not incorrect, no. Posts from personal experience. Showing that immigration rules in Thailand are open to different interpretation by different offices and officers.

I'd like to see that. Please post a video. Thanks.

I guess many would ask the same about CW.

If I'm ever in doubt, I ask BCA immigration office, or the immigration office I'm going to use. I doubt showing them posts from a forum for expats in Thailand will change their mind.

No. They offered either or.

That makes no difference to how different offices or even officers feel on the day. The last time I needed a 60 day extension my wife was working. Immigration accepted the situation, saw I had the required paperwork and issued the extension.

Like I said, no hierarchy. My guess would be many posters, especially those who are not up to speed in immigration issues would not know what CW means. But.....there you go. Mine is BCA.
