  1. - when I came here from Canada, I had a job offer in hand from a Canadian agent, on behalf of a Thai School. I entered Thailand on a 90 day Non-immigrant "B" visa. This was extended to 1 year once I had obtained a Work Permit.

    -To the OP: You didn't mention your country of origin-  This return/onward ticket requirement is sometimes overlooked, if you come from a developed, western country. (It is presumed you have, or be readily able to obtain, sufficient money to fly yourself home.) If you are from some lesser-developed country, you need a return ticket. Buy one, and hope that you will be able to throw the return half in the garbage, after you find a job.

    - and have B 20,000 in cash in your wallet when you arrive, to show that you can support yourself.

  2. You are where you are, so you are going to have to do the best you can, and hope for the best. Bring your current passport, and a photocopy of the oldest previous one you have. Do you have a bankbook ? That is your best tool, as it contains an invisible ink version of your signature to which your present signature, and signatures on passport(s) will be matched. And if possible, go to your home branch.

  3. "Change" makes the world go around. Have you ever thought about how many people make their living by convincing other people to change something ? And then, in a case such as Thai Visa, they can come back in 6 or 12 months, and suggest changing back to what was there previously ! Is change necessary ? If your paycheque depends on it, yes, otherwise, it usually isn't.

  4. No, they will be closed on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.

    Note: Shopping centre sub-branches, that are normally open on weekends, should be open on Dec. 29 and 30, but also closed on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1

    Note re cash withdrawals:  I don't know how many days off the ATM service guys get. ATM's might be out of money in the latter part of what will be a four and a half day weekend (including the evening of the 28th).

    If you can see now that you will be needing cash, don't wait until late on the 31st or Jan.1
