Taipei DTV update:

Denied but didn’t have to pay. 💰 here’s the reason(i can reapply)

But it was for the most stupidest reason IMO.

For context I am American and applying under soft power - medical tourism

I was rejected my application… because the doctor wasn’t on the clinic’s website.

And I literally have no idea what to do now.

They were not helpful in literally just calling the clinic or accepting an email from their official company email.

They advised me to come back with the original stamp (which I have but no with me)

And to wait for a different supervisor (no idea why?)

She basically said different supervisors may allow for different things. Which is quite insane for an official application.

None of this is on the website by the way as they didn’t even understand the medical soft power initially.

So the moral of the story is

Take a gamble on the supervisor as to what documents are acceptable

BANK 🏦 STATEMENT:

Even stranger is they rejected my bank statement, instead asking me to login to my bank account website and show them the live balance.

Never in my life have I’ve heard of such thing

Hi Members...Under the "Anything Else" category...

Re: My "Will" made in Thailand.

A few years ago I made a "Will" leaving my estate (not hugh but very big by Thai standards) to my then Thai G/F...we broke up 4 years ago and I wish to make that Will null and void. I know very little about this subject so would appreciate any inputs.

I do not wish to make another one in Thailand which would cancel out the previous one. The Lawyers office is no longer located where it used to be and I do not know where he moved to.

The Executor was her previous boss and I don't know where he is located either.

If I simply tear up the Will would she be able to trace the Lawyer after my death and have it enforced.

I suppose I could make another Will in my home country in Europe, would that be sufficient.

Any advice would be most welcome.

P.S. She has already gained a lot from me ..A condo, 2 cars and a good bit of money over 12 years together...

[Covid extension question] I just was granted a visa extension for covid reason but they only gave me 30 days (I was told we could apply for 60 days so that’s what I wrote on the form)…

So my question is, can I apply again for another 30 days?

Should I’ve done or provided something else in order to get a longer extension?

I know covid extensions are up on May 24 but I will need to extend on May 19, so I’m hoping I can do that one last time before a visa run is required.

FYI: I entered with a 30-day visa exemption, then extended for 30 days. Then extended for covid reason, for another 30 days.

TIA

Is it practise in Thai immigration not to provide a receipt for the payment of your visa or letter to get a Thai licence? Does this not leave the door open to corruption?

Hi, I have a serious problem ... I got a COE, paid the quarantine hotel, and the plane ticket and when I tried to board the plane , I was told I could not because Immigration has blacklisted me ... I have no idea why, for how long ... I have no paperwork and it is weird the embassy gave me a COE .

I have a property in Thailand and wanted to pay a visit to my lawyer, to arrange the sale of my property ... Now I hear that in order to get a refund for the ASQ hotel , I need to produce paperwork from Immigration ... but when I contact Immigration they tell me I have to visit them personally ..

Is this scam #200 or what ? I am sick and tired of all of this ... I have no idea why the Thai do this to the writer of this book ... it was actually all the money I had in the world ... and now I can not even rent a room or apartment and have to sleep in the streets again ...

I have this feeling by now that every time I deal with Thai services I get cheated ... and I can no more ... 😭😭😭😭😭 I am a single woman and I am crying all the time ...

Hello everyone.

My hotel manager says they can't do the online TM30 as the system is down nationally. What should they be doing instead and what should they be actually giving me to take to show at immigration? Is the TM30 registration reference number and lease contract and receipt enough?

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

(extending "90 day medical extensions" & 90 day "Non-O volunteer visas" with a 60 day covid stamp)

We are getting a lot of people trying to post who for one reason or another got either a b/s, back-door 90 day medical extension OR an equally b/s, back-door 90 day Non-O based on "volunteering" and now want to get 60 day covid extensions.

Unfortunately we're not letting posts like that on the group (or we're not letting many of them anyway). ;)

There is no way anyone on this group can tell what an immigration officer at your immigration office will say when you go to apply for a 60 day covid extension with a stamp like those two I mentioned in your passport.

Some people will skate right thru and get the 60 days without question (y)

BUT

some people will get questioned heavily but get the in the end extension :/

AND

some people will be told, go back to the province you got your stamp from and apply there. :O :(

We am not judging anyone on those stamps (not in the least) but, you people knew exactly what you were doing when you went down the path to get that 90 day medical extension, OR to get that 90 day Non-O visa (based on volunteering for a foundation you can't pronounce let alone ever volunteered for :O ). No one twisted your arm, no one made you do it.

You either GO to your immigration office before you need the extension and see if you can get it

OR

you contact the people who you used to get those stamps and ask them what to do.

We're just not gonna let posts from people on those two stamps on the group.

We wish everyone good luck with their extensions, stay safe and have a happy holiday season.
