Understand Mate. Having your kid sick at home and being forced to be there instead of work I’m sure didn’t help. I sounded a bit high and mighty in my first comment as they caught me on a chilled day so it’s easy to say go with the flow but we all know what it’s like when everything’s not going so smoothly 😀

Did they make you get a Thai witness to sign a kind of affidavit to say you were who you were supposed to be ?

We just used the security guy on the gate !!!

I’ve had two visits within 2 months of my non-o based on marriage. First time they were very serious and professional (can’t remember if it was while I was under consideration or not ) and the second they were way more chilled chatting about the kids BMX bikes and even sitting on them, I offered them to sit on my big bike but they declined. It was almost like they had to do it as part of a new policy and they were just going through the motions.

I’m sure you don’t need telling but to just smile and go with it leads to a happier life - instead of fighting against your host countries system.

Thankyou, I won’t 👍

Tod offers accurate and concise information that is second to none and free. It has been invaluable to me in getting my Evisa, leading onto my non-o spouse visa. He even put up with my less than brilliant questions during and after my public post 👏.

I’d suggest that some people are too easily upset and need to get a thicker skin (I’m sure they still benefited from the free advice before they became butt hurt )

If I ever met Todd in the ‘real world’ he could expect a night of beers on me 🍻
