@Martin ********

what happens with business?

Ernesto Galvan a visa is an endorsement or permit to ENTER a country. Why would any country issue a visa to someone that’s already in country? How is that even logical? Maybe you’re referring to discussions re extensions of stay?

@Jim *******

can you reference this? As in which chapter and section of IMMIGRATION ACT

B.E. 2522 (1979)?

@Ernesto *******

its cheaper and easier to goto Laos instead of returning to your home country and applying for the visa at a Thai consulate there.

Wylie Pfaff last time we stayed at the place, Machiatto, right across the street from the Consulate because I had some credit with Agoda that i had to spend but also because I could literally walk across the street and wait for the line to die down until I was ready to get in it .  I think i jumped in around 1230 and was out by 2 o’clock which was awesome because I’ve stood in that line before for six hours after showing up at 9 AM because you’re not going to beat the minivans coming in at 6 AM unless you want to just stand there literally all morning. there’s a place up the road behind Black Canyon coffee then I’ll probably go to next. Have to make that run again. I think it’s called Pilgrim resort or something and they also have motorbikes for rent.  stayed at Avalon and Vanpila there too And they weren’t too bad, but you’ve got to look for took took or walk to a lot of places you want to go.

Wylie Pfaff yep, it’s open on Sunday and that’s normally when I go because there aren’t that many people trying to get over there in the afternoon prior to the Monday morning rush. Thai immigration won’t let you cross unless the Laos visa on arrival officer is still there and even if you get there and it’s closed, they’ll be able to find someone to get you in at a fee but I would advise against crossing any later than 5 PM as you’re pushing it.

same as always it’ll only be “talked” about. People (Thai and otherwise) don’t even understand how the law works in relation to any pardon here because the entire subject-matter is used solely as propaganda. He first has to be remanded to the state in custody and deal with the charges that don’t require statute of limitations before he can even be considered for a royal pardon. His best chance was when his sister had “some” influence. He’ll never set foot on Thai soil unless they literally change MANY laws including amnesty provisions.

@Wylie ******

no, only meant to say the hotel bookings fill up fast depending on the time of the week you plan to submit your paperwork. No appointment here but the appointment criteria in Vientiane is why this consulate gets slammed. When I go I cross the day before late afternoon before 1700hrs (before Lao VOA office closes) so I don’t have to deal with the hordes of minibuses full of other runners.

Maybe clear cache or cookies or something similar with browser. I set up same with both BKK and CM in the last week with no problems.

2-3k subs until 2 years ago? Immediately jumps to 30k and now they plan to increase.

Sounds about right.

I don’t get why the problem with ed/vol visas if they’re legit.
