let's see how his talk with Trump goes.

there are several scenarios that could explain that situation: 1- farang-looking Thai person. there are some Thais who look like farangs, usually because of one or more farang ancestors. sometimes white skin and farang facial features are very pronounced. everyone is surprised the person is Thai by birth. 2- parent of a Thai child: as referenced earlier in the thread, he could be the father of a Thai child. I knew of a situation before where the Thai mother was an orphan, and then she died, leaving the father as a sole guardian of the child and the sole source of revenue. I'm pretty confident that in this situation, IMM would look the other way. 3- and of course, if that person has acquired Thai citizenship

I agree to some extent, but not for people whose only "crime" was to overstay a visa by some days. The conditions of detention in Norway and some other countries are disgusting.

damn that was close I can only say "glory to the heroes" and stay safe and strong !

still much better than doing the opposite !

Enjoy your R&R !

Someone has got some serious issues

lol, a real fairy tale! Russians intercepting NATO Santa... that's what they were dreaming.... the reality was a civilian passenger jet.

does make perfect sense

it's a good job by the police, firstly because there is absolutely no need for these in Thailand and second because removing them from the offer will hopefully also curb arrivals of their potential customer pools.

thank you so much 🙂 but actually, I'm in the same case as you, my Russian is quite bad, but my Ukrainian is even worse! I learned most of the Ukrainian I know from when we froze our nuts off with cousin Andriy near Vinnytsia, it was negative 30°C (-70°C if including wind chill) and then he brought out a couple of bottles of horilka and salo. Next thing I remember is doing snow angels outside. Cousin Andriy is 58 now, he's been trying to avoid recruiters, but his luck ran out and now he's transporting stuff, maybe horilka, to Ukrainian front line troops to help fight the Russians. I hope he will be okay, his family needs him. Let's hope all these Rashists and Northern-Banzais croak really fast.

best wishes! please stay alive. looking at the map, Kurakhove looks like a difficult position to hold. I hope everyone makes it out in time. Heroyam slava

thank you for your service. any dead are a sad thing, these 2 made their choice.

thank you for the update. be safe!

hmm. your concerns are mostly based on the METV, while as I see it, the DTV represents a fundamental change of concept. the METV was for tourists to come and do touristy things, while the "digital nomad" type of DTV is explicitly for working remote. maybe it could be a good thing to come prepared with printouts of Immigration's webpages about DTV. If that fails, I also have my attorney's business card with me. P.S. to directly link to a post, you can hover its date, such as "posted X hours ago" or "posted November 9" and right-click to select "copy link"

the DTV visa itself says "multiple" - theres no way going around that to charge extra.

here are some good news, if true

Heroyam slava! Thank you for your updates. I hope you can preserve your manpower. the map seems to be lagging behind a bit - but seeing that situation it only made sense to pull out of these villages. I hope the men made it out.

it's jealousy over young people getting long stay visas...

it's not that easy. firstly, Ukraine has no incentive at all to accept such a freeze. secondly, for Russia such a freeze would be very problematic. one of its main problems would be the winding down of the war economy, as many of the more skilled Russians have left and they would face a reflux of unskilled young men from the frontlines who know how to use weapons and who are going to be unemployed. such a freeze would jeopardize Putin's dictatorship.

anytime I read "falung" in a post I ready myself for some eccentricities

where's the video ?

That is illegal as well. I hope someone will prosecute the conspirators.

All the best to you and Ukraine !
