Sometimes, on reflection, I just think, why did I post !! 🤔🤔🤔🤐

@T**

no prob fella, I've posted a few times , and will undoubtedly post many more questions on my journey through the mud of Thai immigration law... ps you seem to have lived here a long time & should know it's very hard for a Thai person not to be intimidated by uniform

Well today I went along to the local police station in Kalasin with my Thai wife and my TM30, we stood there for a while as the 2 'officers' watched 'Take me out Thailand'.

Finally 1 officers paid us attention & was blank faced when asked to report a TM30 & he actually took us upstairs to meet his 'boss', who then explained to him what had to be done. Back down stairs we went & it took about 20 minutes of messing on a computer to finally get the nod that the registration had been completed and presented with a nice little print out on official paper.

While sitting there, beside the 'ID line up room' I noticed how many CCTV were about, despite this, as we left the officer called my wife back and openly said "we do like tea money for helping but up to you" ... and she donated 100b, Would it have been worth the hassle to just walk out considering I will need to go there many times as I to & fro between Hua Hin & Kalasin... I just laughed and thought wtf, this is Thailand !

Cheers robert

@Robert ******

well same principle, in that I had a MULTI entry O visa based on marriage... my emphasis was on CHECKING THE DATE. So what I will do is modify my post to SIMILAR,

Came in yesterday myself on SIMILAR O visa 12 months multi entry, and was the immigration hall busy, luckily my Thai wife was with me so used the Thai check-in , the foreigner check in was trailing well outside the main hall , so I asked my wife to deal with the IO , who had the usual blank face, and her told her to remind the IO that my 90 day was , still I checked & double checked the date before leaving the desk.... but rather painless 🙏🏼

I have just had my visa back from the Thai Embassy in London, by post as 4 day turnaround, I was quite impressed. I have a 12 month multi entry visa non immigration visa based on marriage , I was not asked for any health certificate or a police check.

Thailand is dependent on whether the immigration officer had his leg over the night before 😂😂

Last question does this non immigrants O 12 months visa require a police check like the retirement visa

Marvellous , then 90 days is Christmas Day, at least I won't forget, thank you again 🙏🏼
