ATTENTION MEMBERS

This is the go-to group for timely accurate solid information on thai visas/extensions on the inter-web. There is no group that provides faster more accurate information than this one does.

WITH THAT BEING SAID

Realize that we have 30+ THOUSAND members and we cannot tell if people know their ass from their elbow about visa stuff when they join.

IF you get a message saying someone can help you with your visa forward the message to the one of the admin/mod team members.

IF you get a message saying the thai immigration officers are reading these posts forward the message to one of the admin/mod team members.

I can assure you there is no thai glued to a p/c screen reading these visa questions in the english language on our group. If someone messages you that there are thai officials reading these posts they are talking out their ass.

I need everyone to step away from their keyboards, take three deep breaths, dial their paranoia back a notch or three and realize that this is a very safe group to ask questions on relating to visas and extensions on.

Thanx one and all for making the group the #1 go-to information site about visas on the inter-web.. Take care

(End of Rant )..... :O :P ;)

Thanks Tod. Well said!

I would say if someone is that paranoid, just do not use real name or show your face on FB. I don't, due to my previous job being one of the most hated and my name is very unique, poss the only one in the world. A colleague got crap sent to her by post etc.

Sadly, you cannot change your name again, if you set your account up with a fake one!

Ironic you should mention spam.....Mott’s Visa Service spammed me 5 minutes before I read this 5en told me they have “no idea” how this happened as they only message people they know or work with.

I think a lot of people are getting this group confused. Some of the questions seem like they are about relocating to Thailand, or dealing with government related problems. I think it should be clear that this is strictly a visa group.

OP
One last time for the extremely thick or people who were dropped on their head a lot as babies. . :O

There are NO thai immigration officers reading the b/s engrish language visa questions that are asked on this group.

NOTE: there is nothing wrong with asking b/s visa questions ;) It's what the group is for after all :P
