The 300 million bath shortfall was last attributed to retired foreigners and they said there were 38 million of us. Well, The Nation, what are the real facts?

Is there a new 5 disease medical form other than the short very basic one?

Has anyone seen anything official about this? Wasn't the news clip from a health official, not immigration?

When I got my initial 2 year driver's license, I just did for an automobile even though my foreign and international driver's license is for both automobile and motorcycle. I will be moving soon from the 2 year to five year license. I want to add the motorcycle to my licenses. Can the motorcycle be added to  my new 5 year license along with an automobile or do I need to get two licenses - one 5 year for the automobile and a 2 year for the motorcycle? Again, my foreign and international driver's licenses shows both automobile and motorcycle.

I am having a problem finding a full page reading magnifying lens/sheet/fresnel. Even one that is half or quarter page could suffice.  Any recommendations from anyone who has seen them? I have been to the usual stationary stores.

Thai immigration in Mae Sot has told me that they only accept foreign consulate/embassy affidavits for the monthly income requirement. No other documentation is acceptable for this. I told them about the recent changes regarding the affidavits as of 1 January 2019 and they then said one must keep the required 800,000THB. That is the only option which they will accept,

And that can be a multiple re-entry permit during that last 12 months after the expiry of the underlying O-A visa and up until the end of the last permission to stay granted under the original O-A visa?

I see the posts about marrying a Myanmar woman in Thailand, but what is the latest on a foreigner marrying a Myanmar woman in Myanmar? I understand that the law may permit it, but despite that in the past, officials will not do that.

I need to get a dental implant and my local Thai dentist has recommended Dental World Chiang Mai. I haven't been able to find any pros/cons about Dental World in respect specifically to dental implants. Any comments out there about them or any excellent experiences in Chiang Mai with other dentists in regard specifically to dental implants?

After two years, I decided to finally stop doing the double entry tourist visas and do the paperwork necessary for the O-A visa. I have all the paperwork ready to go, but want to get some idea about how long it could typically take for the consulate(New York City in my case) to process the visa assuming the paperwork is all in order. On a double entry, it just took one business day. I am asking because I need my passport for another overseas trip before I leave for Thailand.

In the same vein, how long is the period between the time the visa is issued to when it needs to be presented to immigration on arrival in Thailand for activation without expiring. I know some visas from other countries need to be activated anywhere from 30- 90 days from the issue day or the visa. Again, I am asking about the length of the activation period, not the length of the O-A period - 1 year.This has to do with the overseas trip before i go to Thailand.

I would like to get the O-A`before I leave for the 10 days non-Thailand trip and then after a few days back in the states, fly off to Thailand. But I don't want my passport tied up at the Thai consulate to interfere with my other overseas trip and don't want to apply for the O-A visa too early and have the activation period expire before I get on the airplane to Thailand.
