// At a bare minimum you now have to keep 400k in the bank all year and visit immigration to show your bank book 90 days after extension , that impacts everyone.

It's not the subject, but it's not true. Probably (tens of) thousands of expats not impacted because using the Letter of Income method.

Yeah right, 3-4 embassies just decided to shut down their income letters for no reason, nothing to do with immigration, lol.

Not what I said. I said Big Joke was not chief of Immigration when UK & US embassies talked about stopping LOI. So you can't blame him for that.

I thought the combo method was still in place. That is gone, too?

it pretty much has to be otherwise people would do 1,000 baht income and 799k deposit, then not have to have/show the 800/400k during the year (as they are not doing the deposit method)

Actually, something pretty close to that was what I was hoping for. 600 or 700K in bank and bring 20K per month and not have the 800/400K stuck in a bank account. Seems like a legitimate loophole they didn't fix.

Say what you like but following his one day visit to the Chiang Mai Immigration office there was remarkable improvement. No more queueing at 4am to get a queue number, no more obstructionist attitudes and downright laziness by staff. It would be a great pity if we revert to the old antagonistic and obstructive mentality that made dealing with Immigration here such a nightmare.

Shame he didn’t,t leave it that, guess you reckon the upheaval for all is worth a few saved hours for you at CM?

Its not for all though is it?  Its upheaval for the dodgers and weavers and so it should be. I'm pretty sure they worked that out and for the crumbs these people bring to the table it's no surprise that life suddenly became difficult. Dont think it'll get reversed because he's gone. It's the department that became hardline, not it's head.

does this mean all the crazy new rules regarding extensions will be reversed?
 

 

I hope not.  I shortened my pre-extension seasoning from 3 months to 2 because of his changes.  If it goes back to three months, I'll be denied.

Apparently Big Joke has been arrested at the Pullman hotel last night the hotel is owned by King Power.

His computer was seized - and that is all one can report here...........or else !

shut down any income and deposit combination method,

According to this thread (and what I have heard elsewhere) combo is still OK, at least for retirement visa.

BJ is somehow lucky to be on the 20th floor. Should be high enough to jump off.
 

 

  He was  down for a road traffic accident. Simple choice really.
