Is there still a 7 day grace period for doing the 90 day report?

If your on a tourist visa, just tell them you are traveling and staying at hotels.

It must be very confusing for those taking the test.  Throughout school from P1-M6 they were allowed to copy of the friends papers and the answers were written on the blackboard for them,  and now they can't copy because it is cheating?

Good day,

 

 

 

 

I will soon be applying for a non-O Visa for the purposes of retirement using the monthly income method.

So where are you going to buy this VISA??? certainly not inside Thailand anyhow??? So here is one more time showing the importance to use the correct terms....Otherwise it wil just be a blurr of it all in the end...

 

 

 

 

 

Me for once, think that you are talking about applying for an EXTENSION OF STAY based on retirement.... Or what??

Technically depending on the type of visa he has now, example exempt entry or tourist visa, he can go to CW and convert to a non o visa for a fee of 2000 baht ( in essence buying a visa) and after the initial 90 day period could apply for an extension of stay based on retirement.  Of course, to apply for the visa at CW he would have to prove that he would be able to meet  the requirements for an extension of stay.

Let's move this to Motoring.

But, Thai vehicle insurance usually covers any driver.

Yes, in Thailand the insurance is on the vehicle not the driver.

No...I teach 'Gifted' also. Some classes are truly better and some just not. But having a NES or near NES with students whose proficiency level is low to start with does not really help....it's the method of increasing their vocabulary, helping them naturally construct sentences and build dialogues that really brings results.

I think it is important to have those students with low proficiency start with a NES or near NES. We wouldn't want to be filling young minds with bad pronunciation and bad grammar habits. Remember, what we learn first is what we remember the best. So if in the beginning we allow someone with a low proficiency of English to teach sa-poon(spoon), sa-cool(school), fie(five), tree(three), se-wen(seven), ta-welve(twelve), ta-wen-ty(twenty) or any other vocabulary incorrectly it becomes nearly impossible in the classroom setting to over come that. Not only is it difficult(nearly impossible) to over come bad pronunciation in a classroom setting, it also makes the student unable to understand when the word is spoken correctly, salad(sa-laud) or spaghetti(sa-pa-get-thee).

I was following you pretty good. Then, after "has anyone", you lost me.

So, I did my research about the holiday schedule for the Thai consulate in Savannakhet. Arrived Monday evening stayed the night in Mukdahan and crossed over into Laos on Tuesday morning, handed in my passport and application, found a guest house. Wednesday afternoon picked up my passport with my fresh visa inside. After I got back to Mukdahan I was sitting in front of my hotel enjoying some cigarettes and beer and I was in complete shock to notice that no less than 5 people arrived at the hotel expecting to do business at the Thai consulate on Thursday. I find in unbelievable that so many people didn't do any research or planning and were completely unaware that there would be no consulate business from 5th to the 9th, resuming business on Tuesday the 10th. I hope those folks enjoy their long holiday in Savannakhet.

The important thing is which visa was he on in his previous passport, thats the visa in which they tracked him down on

Tracked him down for what exactly ?

And he says he went to Laos and obtained a new visa on his new passport does he not ?

Very confusing I'm afraid.

It is a little confusing. Maybe, on exit, the old entry stamp was transferred to his new passport, but the old and new passports were not linked. A consequence was that the immigration computer showed an entry using the old passport with no exit: hence an overstay. Guesswork, but not implausible.

Several times I have gone to Division 1 at the government complex to have extensions of stay and/or permit to stay stamps transferred. It's all done by hand. They have never done anything with a computer (**link 2 passports together). Either that or he was reported by the hotel or wherever he was staying at if he didn't update them with his new visa and permit to stay. I"m gonna go ahead and guess that he was reported as someone didn't know that he went out and got a new visa.

I'm from Ireland and I have a used up 15 month(1 year multi entry) visa with a

60 day extension of stay on it.

I will go to immigration before I go if I have time and I will ask my embassy when I get the passport.

Thanks for the help so far.

Going to an immigration likely will be a waste of time. Many turn people away and tell them to do it on departure. Only those on 90 day extensions and higher need to go to an office to heave their stamps transferred,

Do ask for the letter from the embassy,

Yes, you are correct. I was at Division 1 at the government complex and that is exactly what they told me.

Old passport out , new passport in.

It might not be that easy, as the new passport will have different number/letters.

1. Take both, your old passport and new passport with you (as the information from your "old" passport will be used for your current passport);

2. Explain to the immigration officer at border/passport control what you want to do. He will direct you to the appropriate office. Usually the office is in the same place as where over stayers must report to pay their penalty.

3. It's also possible that an Immigration officer from Mukdahan sends you back to your Immigration.

Can't you just ask your Immigration office before you're leaving Thailand?

Point number 3. Is this information you are providing based on 1st hand knowledge or just a wild assumption?

Did they change that policy? Last year I did a visa exempt entry there. Just double checking.

Haven't seen any post about this border crossing lately. Is it still possible to do a border run without a Myanmar visa?

They will transfer the stamp for you at the airport. Do not cut things too fine as it may take a few minutes.

What about at a land border crossing? Same thing they will transfer it for me?

Got a quick question. Am I required to transfer my permission to stay stamp(60 day single entry TV) from my old passport to my new passport or can I just carry both passports? I'm just trying to figure out if I really need to travel from the American Embassy to Chaeng Wattana on Monday morning after the Songkran holiday.

Is there a route that I can drive my 150cc motorcycle on from Prachinburi to Wireless road (U.S.Embassy)?

Just went last week. Easy as pie 910 baht. Friendly immigration officers. This is the crossing in Kanchanaburi.

This is just as stupid as the farangs that pay a dowry to marry a bar girl with 2 kids..LOL

You obviously can not see past your wallet. While some foreigners have not married into the same social class as their wife's family, there are certainly many foreign men who gladly help their Thai wives and families recover from the stupid, immature, and lazy Thai men they've made mistakes with. Your use of this forum about two chickens to make a snide remark about Thai women with kids and the foreigners who marry those women speaks to your lack of knowledge and your lack of compassion. I hope you had a chance to read the previous comments I made before they were deleted. (I'm expecting your mom to come by again tonight)... LOL.

My objection is paying the sun sod, not to marrying a Thai woman with kids..

You keep talking about me having sex with my mother. I think your confusing your childhood memories of special times with your mom.

But anybody can be a keyboard hero hiding behind the mask of anonymity.

I know guys that have paid millions on sin sod for girls from the bar with kids and multiple ex husbands......ten years from know it will be the.norm

I have one guy I know who moved here for a well paying job......six months before his wife was due to arrive....by the time she gets here....he is in love wirh a go go dancer and they are divorced and he is moving ti Issan....with his money......

LOL

This is just as stupid as the farangs that pay a dowry to marry a bar girl with 2 kids..LOL

Actually you only have to leave if you are on an extension of stay. If you are here on tour original B visa you can stay until the end of permission to stay. You were stamped in for 90 days when you entered Thailand on your B visa. You are entitled to stay the entire 90 days wether you left your job or not. You are only required to exit within 24 if you have an extension of stay based on employment.

i have a "B" visa. not asked for a extension

I intend to leave a couple of days before the end of my contract and hope to re-enter on a visa exempt or tourist visa about 4 days after the end of the contract.

Regardless of the theoretical rights and wrongs of your situation from the immigration standpoint, I fear that you might, in practice, run the risk of experiencing grief at the hands of a rogue immigration officer if you were to return on a visa exemption just 4 days after your contract termination date. Since you previously had a "B" visa they might consider that they had reasonable grounds for suspecting (wrongly, I assume) that you were planning to return here in order to work illegally.

And you might encounter a similar reaction at any overseas Thai embassy or consulate to any tourist visa application which you might wish to submit.

Are the affairs which you need to sort out really that urgent, or could they wait a couple of months or so for the dust to settle? It would appear that the last thing that you want to be doing at the present time would be potentially to risk drawing unwelcome attention on yourself.

Absolute rubbish. It's common practice to end a contract and exit and return on a tourist visa or exempt. He stated that he wanted to come back and get home s affairs in order. Or maybe he will be planning to look for a new job. Why the conclusion that he is planning to work illegally???????????

If you haven't been charged,then you won't have any problem coming and going.
