ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

(ESPECIALLY NEW ONES)

We have gotten a crazy influx of member requests; that's to be expected, seeing as the easy way to stay (taking 60 day covid extensions like many thousands of people have the last 2+ years) is over. It appears that the newbies need a lesson in how this group is managed.

The visa advice group on F/B is NOT run like a "normal" thai related group. :O The information about entry, visas and extensions is so knowledge intensive and varies so widely from each immigration office, each embassy, each border entry point that running it like a 'normal' group is not possible. :/

Sadly, this isn't a group you come to chew the fat, bounce ideas or your experiences of how to further your stay here off each other.

There are more than enough thai related groups out on the inter-web where you can do that.

This group is a place to come, ask your question(s) get your answers and hopefully follow the advice to a successful outcome.

Keep in mind what ever your experience might have been at an embassy, an entry point, or an immigration office does NOT mean that everyone will have that same experience when dealing with them.

Example; that you entered the country 1000 times and were never asked for proof of funds when you stamped in does not mean there is no rule about being required to show proof of funds in CASH if you're asked <- because there is definitely a rule about it.

The moderating team members are here to provide accurate timely and concise visa, extension & entry information. We do this for free, we donate our time so you people don't run completely off the rails, so you people know about the stamps you're here on and what your options are to get in to the country, to get visas and to get extensions.

We are not here to be your friends. There are only a finite number of ways to stay here, your situations are not special, are not unique, and you are far from the first foreigner to experience what ever it is you're trying to do. You can hate the message but don't hate on the messenger.

The reason we close posts so quickly is this:

We used to let posts stay open, and what would inevitably happen is; after the poster got the correct information some well meaning yet totally clueless person would post the WRONG information and start the whole thread all over again :/. That's when we implemented a policy that as soon as the O/P got the correct information we close the post.

Also whether you believe it or not, unfortunately sometimes the correct answer is; GO to your immigration office, POST on a group related to where you live in thailand, or GO read the requirements at the website of the embassy you're going to for a visa.

ANYONE who wants to contribute to a post that is closed can message one of the moderating team and we can re-open a post. (y)

I believe there is no visa group/forum or message board that has as accurate or as up to date information about entry/visas/extensions to thailand than this group.

I completely realize the moderating policy might not be be suitable to everyone. If it's not your cup of tea, please, by all means, feel free to leave the group and find answers by other avenues.

Believe me when I say we are here to help..

ATTENTION MEMBERS

Please keep all conversations ON the group.

We do not know if everyone knows anything about visas or extensions. As long as the conversation is on the group, we, as all members, including moderators, can see the information if anything is incorrect for each other.

Keep in mind:

-Someone could do her visa/extension by herself successfully doesn't mean she understands all procedures and requirements correctly.

-Someone understands his visa/extension procedure and requirements correctly doesn't mean he can explain those in the right way or with appropriate terminologies.

-Someone can explain her visa/extension procedure and requirements in the right way doesn't mean she understands the differences between your situation and hers precisely.

Terry, your post is being declined for the 3rd time because, well, ITS ALREADY BEEN POSTED 15 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 DAYS.

ATTENTION MEMBERS:

Getting messaged by people "who can help" when you make a post..

The mod/admin team has received several messages from people who have made a post asking about their visa/extension situation and who were then messaged by people saying they could help.

If this happens to you please report the person that messaged to you to the admin/mod team. We have no idea if the person contacting you knows what they are talking about or if they can help you.

Occasionally the admin/mod team may message members who have made posts to get clarity or to understand the post better.

In addition to our many many helpful members this is the mod/admin team: Robert Lagas, Lloyd Turner, James Miller, Benjamin Hays, Ellie Takei and yours truly, Tod Daniels

Thanx one and all for being a member of the group, for contributing to the posts to help people get accurate information AND we wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

Listen up people, this group has a ZERO tolerance for mentioning agencies/agents when you are getting your visas/extensions inside the country. 😡

STOP trying to make posts referencing what an agent told you, this is your one and only warning..

Got a feeling it doesn't but does it matter what you put here?

Just curious as to the point of this 'advice' page? Why do you delete replies to posts and turn off comments before anyone can get a chance to reply or ask questions? Surely, we are all here to gain as much information as possible, to help us through this strange time!

ATTENTION MEMBERS

I am going to tell you this ONCE

Make your own posts. :O

DO NOT hi-jack other peoples' posts no matter how similar you think your situation is. :/

We used to copy/paste and move questions to their own thread.

However I am just gonna start deleting posts from people who hi-jack threads.

Good morning all,

For most a reminder, for all the new members please read and help us to keep this page as it is.

Use a new post to ask your question, it might seems the same visa but there are many individual reasons that things could change, As we like this page as organized as possible, you have noticed that post get closed for commenting to avoid discussion, incorrect advice or hijack from others with their question.

please do not PM other members, out of experience there are people who love to push visa agents who carry your documents for a lot of money, please inform one of the team if you get PM like that, we will delete the membership of that person directly.

We share are knowledge and experience on the page, so every other member can read and learn from it.

Or in case the information is in correct or rules did change it can be corrected, please do not tell you will inform in PM or if you get PM ignore the advice.

And if you need a public page to tell you send a message, it is not your best mate, sorry.

This page is for Visa advice and at the moment we allow much more questions due to this pandemic as we understand all of us has to adjust to a new life style and new visa rules.

But please do not ask opinions or what will happen in the future.

Thanks.
