I'd like to thank all the people who have given me valuable info -- great group!🙏

Who else is being tortured by the same questions?

I came here to learn and contribute but I feel more stupid for being a part of this at all.

People are literally posting their exact experience at a specific embassy/consulate and a couple hours later another person is asking what do I need for that embassy?

And countless people who can’t access a search engine. They simply don’t know ANY of the requirements.

I was an early supporter and mistakenly invited a lot of friends.

Peace out superstars. Good luck on your journey.

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.

This is my first stroll thru this page in quite some time. I started reading the comments and I cannot wrap my head around why anyone feels compelled to sit at their keyboard lecturing people on what they should have done to solve their problems.

First off, how about a having little compassion? Or if you have nothing of value to add to the conversation, maybe just say nothing at all?

Just because your shit is sorted out does not give you the right to be a jackass to anyone. Especially one of the thousands of people who are doing their level best to resolve their problems. People are stranded without warning and are not aware of realistic options. People are afraid, hungry and in need of help and compassion.

And you sit there in your dirty bathrobe and decide it would be a good idea to kick them when they are down? Does it make you feel good to rain shit down on people who are already in it up to their necks?

So, good luck to you down the road, because the wheels of life go around in circles.

Second, unless you know someone's entire story, in intimate detail, how about just shutting the F up? Your condescending BS attitude is not helpful to anyone simply trying to find a workable solution.

Other people, due simply to unfortunate expiration dates on their visas are stuck in a state of limbo. We had our plans, we had what we thought was the proper preparations in place, I personally was all set to receive a work permit... only one problem, my sponsor company has been forced out of business by this ordeal So despite a long list of preparations all of it has flown out the window. And no one can tell me what my options are.

And please if you don;t know me or have inside knowledge of my situation, please keep your opinion in your mouth.

Twice in the past couple of days I have tried responding to at least part of someone's question or ask a follow up question related to what another questioner included in their comment and before I could complete my comment, comments were turned off.. it's really rather frustrating, wonder why I even bother either to try and provide helpful info to someone else or learn something helpful for myself..

The answers that come from questions on this forum are by people who have a wealth of experience. Just because you don't get the answer YOU WANT, doesn't mean the answers that are delivered are NOT CORRECT. 99% of the time the answers by the admin and mods are accurate, providing the poster has shared ALL relevant information. Remember if you ask a question, include your history, country you reside and try and use the correct language and terms.

Sorry to bother you all but:

We discussed with the mods and admins what to do when:

People without giving any advice and who just write lets go private or I messaged you etc.

The unanimous decision was simply delete and remove the person.

This just based on the simple fact that we still read comments of people, who has absolute nothing to do with asked question, example is this needed in Chang Mai and several others post YES, it is in Phuket or Pattaya.

Next to this we still see that many members use populair phrases to name a visa or Extension of Stay.

And there are times that requirements of Immigration Offices are mixed up with requirements of Thai Consulates.

This page is set up to share information so all can learn from this, we understand not all know all the correct terminology and if written on the page we can help and correct. There is no way to check if the advice giving in private message is correct, we can only hope it will be.

Thanks.
