@Michel ****

not true, I did my first one online, it depends on the IO.

It is really easy to do reports online. I have done all of mine online for the past 2 years, other than one time when I was at the IO, so it was convenient. I have moved provinces twice and had no problems reporting online.

The great thing is you can report online 14 days in advance, if for some reason it was not approved you can go to the IO a couple of weeks later and report. Nothing to lose, so give it a try.

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

when was this?

@Julius ********

I have never had a problem or been asked for a bribe. I simply provide the evidence requested and pay the 1,900 Baht fee.

@Julius ********

I think that was the problem. Paying an agent can result in this situation.

@Steve ******

really? We will have to agree to disagree.

@Alma **************

I didn't say bad, I said poor. I love food from around the world, i am not choosy, but the Philippines (similar to the uk) has poor food. Having said that about the UK, the native dishes are not to my taste, but there are plenty of good restaurants everywhere.

I do wonder why you and your husband come to Thailand instead of the Philippines if that is your original home?

@Julius ********

did you pay an agent for the visa that was invalidated?

@Steve ******

no decent food, no infrastructure.

@Alma **************

I don't think anybody is intending to insult the Philippines, but the food is very poor there compared to somewhere like Thailand. I travelled around many places for a couple of months and really struggled to find anything to eat, especially healthy dishes. People there seem to love Jollibee and it's just terrible processed food with lots of added salt and sugar 🤮. It is true there are the American chains there, but only in cities and who wants to eat that all the time anyway. Even getting a decent coffee is a challenge as most places automatically add sugar and few have real milk. Here in Thailand on virtually every street corner there is someone cooking a delicious meal for a few Baht.
