and still going with the abuse. Go and get a proper visa, it's not rocket science.

@Mark **********

Two words - proper visa.

@Mark **********

keep throwing around the abuse all you want - the point still remains - go and get a proper visa.

@MarGuyvin **

ROFL - I'm doing no such thing 😃 But again, not hard for op to get a proper visa. Most of us have been there before in various forms.

@MarGuyvin **

I just think this isn't hard - if you want to stay here long term, go and get a proper visa. Op has exploited the system for two years, the party, as you describe it, if it isn't over, should be soon. The whole point of COVID extensions wasn't to allow people to stay here long term, it was people who couldn't get a flight home.

@MarGuyvin **

so apparently, saying to someone they should get a proper visa versus milking COVID extensions makes you a party pooper? Today I learned.

@Mark **********

the party you've managed to exploit in false pretenses for two years. Go get a proper visa - this isn't hard.

@Mark **********

The COVID extensions were introduced for people who couldn't get a flight home which was a serious problem in 2020 - it was the generosity of a Thai government that they introduced it. It wasn't for people like you to stay here for two years without getting a proper visa.

That you've managed to exploit that, for seemingly two years - great that you have, but grow the f-up and go and get a proper visa.

Presumably, you're still here on COVID extensions? This isn't hard - go get a proper long-term visa or get on a flight and go home.

@Klaus ********

we live in interesting times is perhaps overused at this point in COVID. I've been in and out of Malaysia multiple times, last time was August 2018 to get the start of my current Non-Imm B (BOI) visa.

The thing I miss the most - is not being able to go anywhere internationally, at least easily. Living in Chiang Mai, being able to go internationally on even 3-5 days holidays direct before COVID was fantastic. Malaysia, Vietnam, mainland China as examples. Hopefully, those days will come back again.
