**ATTENTION MEMBERS
**I think people are confused about the group.
This is NOT a group where you ask how to get from point A (where you are inside thailand) to point B (the border or a thai consulate in a nearby country).
For that Google is your friend, the group is NOT :O **
**This is the thai VISA advice group. <- meaning you ask questions about how to get visas (either from thai consulates in other countries or from the immigration offices inside the country) and/or extensions from the immigration offices inside the country.
It is NOT a group to ask how to get a resident certificate, a police back ground check, how to get married, how to get a yellow house book or anything else that is NOT directly thai VISA related.
It is also NOT a group to come on to and ask about an in country agency that will hold your hand, or push paper so you can get a visa/extension from an immigration office. Again for things like that Google is your friend, the group is NOT. :/
You can however ask and recommend visa run services that lug people to other countries or to the borders. Do NOT link to a website that also offers in country services on the same page as their visa run info though.
Sorry about that.. It is what it is, the group has a very narrow focus, and if you wanna glad hand, or chew the fat about a topic by all means post it on another f/b group related to thailand and talk about it to your hearts content..
One last thing, we have OVER THIRTY THOUSAND members and we have no idea if they know what they're talking about or not SO if you get a P/M from a member of the group (that's not an admin/moderator) offering advice, be very hesitant in accepting it. AND if they message you with something that sounds too good to be true please contact the admin/mod staff with the persons name and message.
Good Luck in your visa/extension endeavors one and all.>
End rant :P **
