they expect to, anyway.

then throw a tantrum when they don't get their way. because tantrums are so much more effective than problem solving and everyone should care about their feelings.

help 'Murica get the plague under control and maybe they'll let you.

@Garrett **********

if everything is already in order.

Mike Dobbin no i mean the shit show where 'Muricans are dumb enough to believe in their "team." like Trump lying makes Biden not a liar? like Democrats being on corporate dick means Republicans aren't? c'mon.

if you think a virus--a literal force of nature--will evaporate due to an election? congrats. you're part of the shit show.

@Mike *******

if you knew the hoops i went through to form a company worthy of Chaeng Wattana's blessing i suspect that envy would evaporate.

that said i'm looking forward to not going back there in the middle of a shit show.

George ok! also worth mentioning that *how* you do the right thing matters.... one doesn't want to be in the position of needing to fly into Thailand one more time to get your work permit...

i can testify that it can be done, but unless lobbying the immi boss at don muang for 'just 15 more days' sounds like fun, it would be advisable to plan ahead...

@Todd ********

the problem with getting an actual visa is your beach time is constantly interrupted by your four employees who are bombarding you with questions as they do all the actual work.

@George *******

um... i should get the appropriate visa? you missed the line about "holding pattern while forming company," i think... 'round here, form a company correctly and it can come with a work permit. tends to require your company actually does stuff and has revenue, but it works.

i suspect Chaeng Wattana's generous one year extension on my non-b will do just fine...

as an American, i'm looking forward to running into fewer Americans :p

@George *******

one country's visa rules do not resemble another's. a visa to the US is multiple entries, multiple years. if people actually work on oil rigs etc, and want to use 30 day stamps, they have to make sure they're gone enough.

if people are in a holding pattern because they think the paperwork's almost done for forming their company, i strongly advise a tourist visa instead of a 30 day stamp. again, don't ask how i know :p
