What are the requirements for a 60-day extension based on family visits in Thailand, and how important is the landlord's signed ID?

Steve **********

My wife went to CW today to speak with the IO in section L.

FWIW, not only is a copy of a lease contract and a signed copy of owner's ID required but ALSO a signed copy the owner's tambien baan. Oh, and also an official copy of KR2.

@James *******

The salt in the wound is the fact that I went to CW last week and asked what documents were needed. No mention was made of lease agreement nor house owner's ID. They did list all the other documents.

@James *******

Yes, I did a search last week and turned up old information that did not include lease agreement in the list.

I find it a little strange that a lease agreement is required for a family visit extension. TiT.

I just got turned away at CW applying for a 60 day family extension because I needed a copy of my lease agreement.

Pakistan said "fuck it" and lifted their countrywide lockdown on May 9th, 44 days after 100 cases. Burnout?

@Darren ******

It was all I could muster to zip my lip and walk away after she started grilling me in the parking lot screaming at me and asking where I come from and why don't I go home.

At first I was pissed. Then I felt deep pity for her and her ignorance.

Haha, while I was shopping at Makro I had some lady scream at me, "you're going to kill us all!" presumably because I came within 2.1 meters of her on the escalator. Nutty bitch.

Does the Thai Elite Visa provide any preferential treatment for entry during current restrictions?

Steve **********

True and far cheaper than marriage or starting a business, both of which would require similar outlays.

Why are politicians in Thailand criticized for ignoring their own COVID-19 rules?

Steve **********

Because they're jacked on prophylactic anti-virals.

Reason says, "Left hand, meet Right hand". Left hand says, "fuck you, I want the money".
