@Stuart ********

I agree with you. For me to go back to my country I have nothing there anymore. No more vested interest in going back to my country. My vested interest is here in Thailand my wife and daughter are here my home is here. So I agree with you sir.

@Stuart ********

thank for the tip. I'm 100 percent legal and ligit for my stay here in Thailand I been here over 2 years now had o visa then covid came. Been getting stamps ever since. Thaks tooth I still gave plan b and c if needed. Have a good night.

@Emmanuel ******

thank you all for your wonderful helpful information. I do appreciate it. I do have a plan B if the covid extension ends. I have gotten to know and immigration guy who's going to help me out.

From my understanding with international driver's licenses you must have the regular National license already renewed. Before you can even get an international driver's license. If you get caught in Thailand driving without a license it's a $1,000 Thai baht fine and up to a month in jail.

Use an ATM at the airport. Tiling. If your bank reimburses you for Bank fees than you will get a refund for the surcharge you get charged for it. Otherwise you can change it at the airport as well. In Bangkok. Just one thing for lower denominations they give you a lower rate for the same money. So bring higher denominations if you're going to use cash. But the ATM gives you the same rate every time.

This is good to know I just got my new extension today yippee. Thanks Todd Daniels.

Once Upon a Time you could be able to come and teach English anywhere in Thailand degree or no degree. Legal or illegal. But if you get caught teaching illegal there is some very harsh repercussions for that. One of them being five years in prison minimum 2000 Baht fine and up to a hundred thousand Baht fine. Best to do everything by the book. So when they take a look you're all nice and legal. So the answer to your question do you need a degree. By Ty Law they require a degree. Once upon a time a t certificate with work but not anymore.

You are correct but, the non o you get it good 4 3mos. Then you must get extention or leave and come back. With bidars not open it difficult to do. I had both so far. I renewing my passport to get another fresh visa!

@MarGuyvin **

good point, but I don't have an exit strategy because I plan to stay. Legally. My next step is getting marriage visa. I just needed the extension because my passport was about to expire at the end of this year and didn't want to have any troubles with giving the marriage visa. So now I have plenty of time to get my new passport and everything done. Wish you all well on your endeavors.

@Vit ********

oh mine base on marriage, also my passport expires in dec. So will renew and then get marriage visa.
