That’s not an answer to a fairly simple question:

Did you get a stamped paper when they visited?

@Jack ***************

Sure. Did you get a stamped paper when they visited?

@Andy ***********

And I did apologize, like educated people do when they make a mistake.

That is better education than a trailer park “Fuck off”. But good to see you laugh a such people. That surely makes you laugh at least once a day, at your morning shave. 😉

I just read the same text on Wikipedia, which does seem trustworthy most of the time.

But, as I wrote above, Wikipedia adds “citation needed” after the statement that an IDP can be used 12 months after entry.

Note that the IDP texts refer to “temporary visitors”. Which includes most of us here as Thailand only issues temporary extensions to visa for most of us. So whether we are on tourist visa or on a one-year valid “retirement visa”, we are always temporary visitors.

All that said, I’d be most interested to see a definitive reference either way, so I know whether or not I ought to speed up the procedure of getting a driving license in Thailand. 👍

I’m glad someone started the discussion.

@Mark *******

Good to know my sense of humor outperforms yours. 🤣

I don’t drink until the evening, though. Daytime alcohol and narcotics are for those who need it for medical or psychological purpose. 😊

@Mark *******

There was this guy who jumped off a high tower. When he reached the third floor he shouted

“No accidents so far!”

🤣

@Andy ***********

Uh. I apologize. You did in fact copy a text, I believe from Wikipedia, which on Wikipedia adds “citation needed”.

That said, you did try to prove and my comment was uncalled for.

Note that I demonstrated how to remain polite, rather than reverting to bar-talk / trailer-park levels where people tell each other to fuck off and then are too coward to actually write “fuck”. 😉

Simple huh?

@Andy ***********

Rather than single-sidedly *demanding* proof, which seems to be customary when people lose a dialogue, why don’t you start by showing a link which proves you right before demanding otherwise?

Unless, of course, you can show a link demonstrating you are more than a VIP in Nitwitania.

( Which was my friendly way to write “Who the fuck are you to demand proof ?”, thus showing my good mood are remain friendly and polite.) 😉

We went abroad during the first three months, before the first extension. I simply got a re-entry permit. When we returned the passport control mentioned “You have only 10 days left on your visa” and I replied we would request the extension on the next Monday.

Zero problems, friendly smile, and a “Very good” from the officer.
