Anyone would think we’re not wanted. 🙂 It’s like going through an airport—they always pull someone aside as a warning to others, and it’s usually me. Or maybe the guy just got a roasting from his wife before leaving for work or because a 'farang' cut him off on the way in!

Thats crazy 🙁 what a catch

My Sherlock question is: At what point did they realize the assailant had pocketed or bagged something, and was this image obtained from a store security camera after the fact, or did someone take it with their phone?

I’ve been denied twice in two years—once for applying too early and once for leaving the country, which reset the process. Thankfully, I have plenty of time now to walk to immigration and enjoy people-watching.

You can only apply 7 days before or up to 3 days after the due date, and make sure your entry date is correct.

I am not a doctor, so if something goes wrong based on this advice, I am not at fault. But here’s the gist: Hydration, eating some crackers, granola bars, or fruit, motion sickness pills, and ginger candy or ginger ale.

If you use the Mayan calendar, you'll hit 184 days; 183 with the Hebrew, Chinese, and Hindu calendars; and 192 days with the Ethiopian, Korean, and Thai solar calendars. So, you're better off sticking with the most popular one, which counts between January 1st and December 31st! (sorry its Sunday and bored)

As I mentioned, it’s unwise to make absolute statements since there are about 30 variations of the same thing available online. Personally, I would recommend depositing the 800k and leaving it until you’ve made 12 installments of 65k. However, I just bring in money whenever I need it. Taking it out and putting it back seems like a hassle. It all comes down to personal preferences.

@Graham *****

? Stating anything as fact in Whyland is unwise, but I believe you have to deposit 12 months' worth of 65k before you can transfer to the monthly method, meaning the 800k is tied up.

do you want/need to mess with the long visa process and deposit 800,000+ in a bank here?
