  1. I have been lucky to get an appointment in Bangkok on Thursday for AZ vaccination.

    I understand I need a special form for me to return to Buri Ram the following day.

    Has anyone a copy of the form I need to complete please ?
    Thanks in advance

  2. UPDATE.

    My wife and I went to the vaccination centre at I-Mobile Thunder Castle to enquire about registering for vaccination.

    We were informed that they are no longer taking registrations and that future vaccinations would be arranged on a tambon by tambon basis; the Puy Yai Ban would be informing the residents in the village when to present for vaccination.

    Not sure if this is really accurate but it is what we were told

    And if it gets rid of those scammers that are bucking the system, using dodgy agents to fix their extensions or just telling downright lies to facilitate extensions then my view is damn good job too and clear off to PL ASAP. Some of us who have been here years legitimately are sick to the back teeth of being tarred with the same brush as the scammers/system buckers.

    I think most people realise the extent of how many people use agents etc. By all means immigration can kill the goose but it will go a lot deeper than that. Lotus, Makro, bars, restaurants etc will be closing due to lack of customers. lots of expats will leave so be mindful of what you wish for.

    I very much doubt that Makro and Lotus will be closing any outlets if more farangs leave Thailand. The farang spend is a small amount overall. Only the small bars with 100% farang clientele will be the losers.

    About time the loopholes were tightened up and those that cant fully comply with the regulations should be forced to leave.

  4. Closing another loophole to keep the abusers of the system out of the country.

    It amused me that each year when I used the pension letter route, that the embassy did not check on the documents being shown for income.

    Any unscrupulous person could create an 'official' looking document from a reputable company and pass it off as an income letter,

    Now I use funds in the bank for my marriage extension of stay.

    I am guessing they really need to see funds transferred to Thailand from outside if a pension, as the code will show in the passbook different from funds deposited inside Thailand.

  5. Asiaexpat.

    I need to renew using work to show I am earning more than 400K per year.

    I would never keep more than a few baht in a Thai bank as they have no guarantee like western banks and could easily fold.

    Interestingly the first officer refused to accept that I could renew using my work salary and insisted I show money in Thai bank.

    I had to insist on seeing the supervisor who was better acquainted with the requirements.

  6. Previously I used a pension letter to the embassy to support my retirement extension

    However, now I am working again and with a change in my renewal dates, my pension letter will be 11 months old when I apply and not sure Immigration will like this.

    As I am working, has anyone used their income in Thailand to support marriage extension and if so what proof is required by Immigration at CW?
    Thanks in advance.
