I am on retirement visa.

@Tod ********

correct, I am in this exact position. So, my question is, must I always do the 90 day through Khon Kaen office by my agent, even though I am traveling around, and dont live in that province? We are free to live anywhere we want, right? Then just inform the above IO of the change of province? Then I can start doing it myself? I hope this is the correct way.

Hi there, I taught IELTS before and even though the A1 B1 is only testing 2 skills, listening and speaking, there is a grammar for speaking. Also, she would need to learn and pronounce a lot of everyday vocab. For sure speaking 1 hr a day not enough for the language input. Watching movies and utube are great ways to train the ear and learn through a clear context. Also, practice speaking English out and about, learn how to ask and answer a variety of question types. With more practice, she should improve

Yup, bangkok bank

I think your employer told you to do the visa run as they don't want to pay the 20K fee to get the non B in country. Even though there was mention in the media that teachers could get work visas without leaving country🤔 its confusing. Some of my teacher friends just paid it themselves.

hi! So it looks like TVC has been 'cleared'... And with a lot of support from the expat community who have been using them for years. Hope you got your visa!

@Tod ********

OK Tod, have a nice day.

@Tod ********

why so nasty? Take a rest man. And BTW, I remember you in trouble last year on some forum because you were denied entry at some point... Trying to get over landborder troubles... I don't care to remember the details, only you reached out online and nobody told you that you must have been dropped on your head. It's very offensive.

that's true, and sooo many do not. Or, you can be doing all the right things in the right way and still be screwed here too. Corrupt as f...

wow, hope you get it back. I checked them out as well, and had long chats, was going to do the same! So glad I didn't. Wish you luck. And don't listen to the 'scoldy' tones on here... It's Thailand and most ppl have done something through a back door, or had to pay a bribe etc... Rule breaking is acceptable here.
