Any thoughts about having a pinned post at the top with all the FAQ's? Together with straight forward factual answers?

You could possibly get a proof of income letter from the Embassy in Bangkok

Just saying everyone! Look in your own back yard before slating what is happening here!!!

Makes me wonder how many in my home country???

Let us all know what happens please. This is first class ignorance... We would all love to know what happens to you! Good and bad please. I hope it all works out for you but please tell, haha!

Your only option from what you have said is to apply for a new passport. You will then have to pay an overstay fine. If what you are saying is correct you do not even have room for an exit stamp let alone an entry stamp to another country or any room for a TR visa. Pretty sure this is your only course of action. (Would love to know what airline allowed you to travel here in the first place?)

Maybe take your proof of residency here as well together with photo and copy of your passport including visa stamps.

I will send you a pm regarding opening a Chinese bank account. Check your message requests.

Interesting. I will have to let other members give their opinions.

Do you have a copy of this list?
