HooHaa Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 90 day extension or 90 day report? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbi1 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 That sounds amazing considering just 2 weeks ago many people were saying that their BKK schools were telling them they had to pay 5k if they wanted 90 days or if they didn't they'd get stuffed around at immigration! Btw, what is เครก? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzexpat Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Registering at Kasem Bundit university probably permits a one year extension of stay and the OP was making a 90 day report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inbangkok Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Not unusual.... It was your first extension. No questions asked for my first either. Your next one will most likely be hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their visa (or first extension) is for a full 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiangMike Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Back in 2013 when I was on an ED Visa, we had to do both an extension and the 90 day report (two diff queues at chaeng wattana). You may want to check with your school on that, it's easy to miss and just do the extension first time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve187 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 probably helped that you have a Thai name and not a western name. op would seem to be one of the good guys, correct visa for his stay here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a transliteration of his name. Just proof he has learned to write his name in Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliebadenhop Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 My understanding is that whether or not you get tested, and or hassled has to do with predominantly two factors 1. The immigration center that you go to. My school said go to Center X and not to the one at Y because at Y they tend to hassle people. I went as directed and had no problems at all. 2. The actual school you attend. Seems like (and I cannot prove this) some schools have shoddy reputations, and the people behind the counter take a closer look at people attending such schools. Also, as I wrote once before- I decided that the best way to not get hassled was to learn how to read. And yes, write one's name, even if you do so in a very awkward fashion. If you can read all of the letters and read (with likely a bad accent) text that is put in front of you, I think it is clear that you have definitely been studying.
