Thai Visa Gotchas

[thairat]

It might be helpful if there were threads for the various visa types that people could add their own gotchas, this could be reviewed and updated to weed out all the chaff.

 

It would not necessary to give the basic essential info, but rather the things that result in visa application failure.

 

This should start off with defining commonly misunderstood terms, and explanation of the hieroglyphics relevant to visa acquisition.

 

The difficulty of this task lies in the inconsistent way rules are enforced and the dynamic  nature of the beast.

Initially it could just let people add their own experiences which could be periodically edited if there was excessive or non relevant info. The format should be specific, not a long bitter thairade of events.

Just the facts ma’am.

Like I said, are you volunteering to mod it?

 

It has been tried before and there's just soooo much inconsitency between offices and indeed between officers that it became unmanageable ????

What kind of time commitment would you expect? Obviously this would depend on the response but you have prolly been around long enough to have some idea.

99% would be down to poor preparation from applicant and lack of research.

 

Your recent thread of how to transition from visa exempt entry to non O retirement and finally annual extension based on retirement demonstrates this. 

This topic has been covered several times recently.

The process is simple however you made errors in the process.

It was not CM immigration at all.

Rather poor background knowledge of process by yourself.
