I'm gad you see it that way. I'm also glad TH immigration put a stop to border bouncing and illegal use of visas.

20 yr Elite, only way to go.

Overstay penalties and possible blacklisting will occur after 26 Sep. No question about that.

At this point in time; searching for an answer to your particular situation using Facebook is the least optimal option. Contact a Visa Processing service OR go to immigration and ask them what your options are and go from there. Good Luck.

well, there ya go! Once again ahead or behind the power curve depending on the circumstance. Thanks for the likely explanation.

I've tried every remedy suggested and still get stuck in the "do loop". Can't seem to break the curse. Other more astute (or lucky) retirees have had success, but not I. Keep trying if you have the time. Or, accept your plight in life as I have and simply do your "check-in" in person, where you can put your Mk 1 Mod 0 eyeball on the stamp /paper proving you fulfilled your obligation. Some of the "on line" systems seem about as reliable as gas-station sushi.

Sounds like limited choice even though you don't want to go back to UK, seems you would best be served if you simply accepted that fact and worked the details while there is still time.

Thanks Paul &

but I'm still looking forthe letter showing monthly deposits of 65K or more.

Still waiting to see the sample letter from BKK Bank for someone depositing 65 K for 12 months. No one seems to have one.
