Still no point in doing anything until the week before.

If there's another extension (2 weeks) my 400k will have been in the bank long enough for me to apply for a year.

If it ends on the 26th, I can only apply for 60 days.

But if you apply for your 60 days before the 26th , then during that time your 400,000 would have seasoned the 2 months and you can then apply for a 1 year extension later.

That approach was confirmed when I visited my local immigration.

Do they do them for nagging wife's ?

No. Just let one fly yourself then watch out for projectiles heading in your direction.

What about a past, indirect, experience?  ????

I cannot vouch for the bravado tales of long lost acquaintances.

Personal experiences from 38 years ago ...... good reading. Way better than shades of grey.

Many things here are now more expensive than in the UK, and many other countries.   

Even a night of debauchery is getting expensive. Not that I have recent direct experience.

The time to ponder this is before giving a review that might be libellous.

However, if you are concerned you could see a doctor and have your fingernails removed under anaesthetic

Flowers are very pleasant, especially when dried.

Caveat. You need high walls around your property to discourage unwanted attention.

Starve the lizards mate , this has been the situation since March. The postal system is crook because of covid but she'll be right sometime next year. Meanwhile, if you want to send anything to your cobbers or relos , DHL or TNT might be worth checking out.

Yeah, late night time, rural setting with little lights around tired drivers rushing home, man on a small m/bike and by the sound of it not wearing protective head gear, recipe for a disaster waiting to happen...

Phone Lan gate is in the city and well lit.

The first brown envelope has long been opened. Those following on are going to get progressively smaller.

That's because the IB have nothing to do with Visas issued by Thai Embassies/Consulates, which come under the jurisdiction of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Certain Embassies don't offer the Non Imm O ME anymore, some not even the 90 day Non O for retirement.

 Thanks for the information.

I see I have completely misunderstood things. I always assumed that when I entered the country by land or air I was dealing with immigration officers who would know the rules and regulations.

Obviously, if they were all from the ministry of foreign affairs it perfectly explains why not once in 20 years was it ever pointed out to me and the multitude of others that I was doing something wrong or illegal. Immigration officers would clearly have done this. Over the course of those decades immigration and the MOFA would have noticed things were not dove tailing and brought things into agreement.

Thanks again for the heads up. Its the great thing about this forum that we have lots of members to correct us when we get things wrong.

"......just a view".

Only in your mind. 

 

It does happen to be the view of IB also as evidenced by the legitimate renewals of extensions of stay year on year.   Never in god-knows-how-many decades of the facility being available has it ever been suggested by the IB that continuous extensions were anything but official or that at some stage it would be determined that an applicant had too many.

Well I agree with you.

But , never in god-knows-how-many decades of the facility being available has it ever been suggested by the IB that continuous Non Immigrant multis were anything but official or that at some stage would be terminated.

By all means, get a 1 year extension. Nothing wrong with that, But equally , nothing wrong with multiple entry visas either. If there were, immigration would have stopped issuing them years ago.

Let's clarify something here. Being on a Non-immi O multi before they stopped and now single, leaving the country every 90days or getting an extension and then leaving is completely and utterly within the law and uses of this type of visa. I only thing that can be problematic is this very situation. How in the hell can anyone and did anyone foresee this situation???!!

Totally correct and has been discussed ad infinitum on Thai Visa in many threads.

What he said is factual, not just "his view".  He doesn't need to show any "government links" to support that statement.

So...just your view as well.

Unless you work in immigration and can support your view with written evidence it will remain ......just a view.
