Its the same everywhere with schools out of town. 7kms out of town seems a short distance but demographics change quickly. To say there are schools nearby that are over crowded is not relevant. Out of town, Thai parents generally want their kids to go to the nearest school, walking distance if possible, so they don't have to bother with transport. The main issue is the amount of small schools around. Our village is only 9kms from town. Within two kilometres there are 4 village schools. About 60 students and 4 teachers in each. All of them have an assistant director and director. These schools could easily be merged. Land 3 of the schools are on could be sold. This could pay for development at the 4th school and the purchase of a school bus to pick the kids up if they need. The teachers could all work in the one school. The problem? As always it's down to the hierarchy. My plan would eradicate 3 director's jobs and 3 assistant director's jobs.

That old chestnut again.

They are not difficult to understand.

That would be an extension based on work. The OP appears to want to stay on an extension based on marriage.

By cropping my original comment and only replying to the bit you disagree with, instead of quoting my full explanation, your reply becomes inane.

Firstly, police have nothing to do with it. Secondly, stamps in passport have nothing to do with a work permit. Thirdly, you say "don't need F all". That means you do need something. Double negative, and you're a teacher?

I've accomplished alot in my life. All without earning in dollars. Does everyone who earns dollars have a flawed superiority complex?

ILR is available after 5 years. Review?

I looks like you are effectively going to be a digital nomad. Lots of digital nomads in Thailand. The Thai government admitted a while back that there is a grey area surrounding digital nomads. Right now, no issues. Live in Thailand on a Non O. Do your work in the confines of your own home, don't tell anyone what you do. No problems will arise. There have not been any reports of digital nomads getting into trouble other than those involved in illegal practices. There is no way you'll get a visa or work permit and immigration are aware of that. As with many things, Thailand are miles behind with such issues. No tax to pay in Thailand.

The OP asks about a visa agent. Not lawyer. A Lawyer is unlikely to get involved with bribing immigration staff which, as yet unconfirmed, is likely in this instance.

The thread is about agents.

You don't need to earn dollars to invest in them. I would have thought you'd know that.

A spouse from his own country won't give him any problems?

Thai immigration.

Oh dear. You seem to be suffering from repetitive BS syndrome Get well soon.

30 minutes is right. Not bothered if you don't believe me. Bearing in mind agents fees are corruption payments, you are not sharing your wealth with the needy but are making the well off better off.

I don't recall making your business my concern. I commented on my own business. Your travel arrangements are also no concern of mine.

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.
