Sent you a PM

Went to Kap C for my yearly retirement extension 4 th aug, big suprice because new rule again, under consideration stamp to 3 sept and come back that date. Today phone from same Immigration come to office monday morning at 8 am. I asked extension ok, yes he said. Very suprised again that they phoned before the date they told me first to back, not known to work with speed. I think everything is ok and that i get my one year. But what a treatment, ive lived here for many years using the same papers, the only difference is that now im divorced with sole custody of my 10 yr old son. What if they by some reason only known to them give me a NO, do i get 15 days to pack up. Sell my car and motorcycle and what other things i own, get my boy ready for leaving. This feels like an lottery of kind as i know what power they can inflict upon you. I hope this is an short lived rule, and back to normal soon. Any others have experience that they phone you to come back before set time.

Went out today to KCI two days before my 1 month under consideration runs out the 3 sept. Not a friendly smile from the fat fella that seems to run the counter, or maybe he think he should. Sit down, no explanation. Then comes another stamp pusher looking through four different files all 1 cm thick, looking for my file. Where do they keep all that paper. One would think that in this day and age, one look at computer would be enough, but no. Sorry your file has not come back, phone with the nr on extension on the third. If my file is not there today i guess its not there the third either. Anyway i cant see any of those guys looking through all those files again because a phonecall from me, only a few of them speak english anyway. So my life is at a standstill, no sleep until this is solved. What to tell my son today who knew i was going for the stamp, of course they give a <deleted> about that. What about getting stopped on the street the 4 th with overstay, trying to tell the local police the story about the hole thing. Well im nearly sertain that after a few days in the slammer it all would be sorted out. Thats if they only can find the key. Well, one hole day wasted becauce of pure bs. No, they dont stay in high regard with me, thats for sure. Oh Buddha give me a chance to tit for tat this people ne day.

Sorry to read about your troubles, this is serious shit. I also go to Kap Choen immigration since 9 years for my retirement extension,usually in and out after an hour. I have found them to be very efficient and friendly. I spoke to my partner about this, she just shrugged her shoulders,''every time we go to immigration i give the officer 2,000 Baht'' she said. I didn't know this and asked why,my papers are all in order, ''Keeps them friendly, they remember you and don't make trouble''. End of conversation,Thais have their own way of doing things,we shouldn't interfere.

You partner is feeding the corruption, what chance has this country got while the Thai's keep doing this.

Spot on Jessi. Yesterday was National Police Day. My missus wanted me to donate a box of beer to the local cop shop. Why I ask? Answer below

''Keeps them friendly, they remember you and don't make trouble''

FGS are people so dumb as to believe this siht (anagram)? It must be Thai logic,

I showed my Mrs the story about the riot in Phuket and her reply was "I wish they would do this in Korat as the people are fed up with the corruption"

Perhaps KCI is trying to push those married to a Thai to get an extension based upon that because they consider it the correct extension for them verses retirement.

That is one of the reasons I often state for getting my extensions based upon marriage.

In reality after the first extension the one based upon marriage is not all that much extra work for them plus the final decision is not on their shoulders because it is the division headquarters responsibility.

What is not correct with an extension based on retirement.I don't make the rules,just try to follow them.

Now it's my turn to be under consideration.What's there to consider,i'm over 50 and i have the 800k baht.They tell me they will give 24 hours notice when they come.Well they gave 2 hours,so no Pooyai,she is busy.Luckily a few neighbors were around to vouch for my worthyness.He rang the Pooyai and she spoke in glowing terms.I asked him what this is all about.He rekons it's about our welfare.He asks if i'm happy here.I ask is he coming next year,yes come ever year.I said this is the only IO that does it.He said they all will be doing it soon,orders from big,big boss,his exact words.More paperwork and happy snaps.Cost me a coffee.Should i feel relieved that my welfare is being looked after,i'll have to think about that.
