## ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:
I think it's time for another refresher course about the group.
As you might glean reading the title of the group (Thai visa advice) this group is about THAI visas/extensions and things related to those tasks.
What this group is NOT about is
how to get married here
how to get divorced here
how to get granted parental rights
how to get a certificate of residence
how to get your degree certified
how to get a work permit
how to get a thai driver's license
how to open a bank account
how to get to the border or a thai consulate
how to get a thai a visa to go to another country
For the above things GOOGLE is your friend or post on a f/b group related to where you live in thailand.
The group has a very limited scope of THAI VISA related things and as you might expect thai visa related things are very knowledge intensive AND situationally specific.
Feel free to contribute to threads BUT please stay on topic. If someone is asking about getting a Non-B visa at xxx consulate, don't post your advice about a Non-O, if they're talking about the thai consulate in Savannakhet, your advice about Vientiane is worthless, if someone is talking about border bouncing, don't regal us with your tales of flying out and back. STAY ON TOPIC.
Feel free to ask about visa agencies in OTHER COUNTRIES that help you get visas for thailand at the consulates there, and feel free to ask about visa run, border bounce companies that lug people to the border and/or the nearby thai consulates in other countries to get visas for thailand.
BUT
The group has a zero tolerance policy asking, mentioning, or recommending an in country visa agency that will "push paper" and/or "hold your hand" to get an in country visa or extension. Posts like that will be deleted and people who post those will be warned, muted or booted. You wanna find a paper-pushing, hand holding visa agency Google is your friend, this group is NOT.
One last thing; IF any members are messaged by someone saying they can offer a visa service or help in any way please forward the message or a screen grab to the admin/moderating team. We have 33K members and we can't be sure some unscrupulous visa agents or agencies haven't infiltrated the ranks.
Thanx one and all for being a member of the most up to date and most accurate group about thai visas on f/b and possibly on the entire tiny part of the inter-web that is thai related :P
TLDR : Answer Summary
The group focuses solely on Thai visas and related matters, clarifying that topics like marriage, work permits, and bank accounts are off-limits. Members are encouraged to stay on topic while discussing visa rules, extensions, and services without soliciting in-country visa agencies. The admins emphasize a zero tolerance policy for off-topic discussions and the importance of reporting any unsolicited offers for visa services.
