I am not giving advice, I am simply stating a fact. I cleared the overstay's at the airport each time and i have never had any trouble about this since.

What should I do if my 30-day visa is about to expire just before my flight out of Thailand? Should I extend it or pay the overstay fees?

Richard *******

I overstayed a few days on three different occasions back in the 1980's It has never been a problem.

The UK accept a letter from a pension provider without checking further.

@Parmentier *****

They are not using the 800,000 in the bank, they are using the 65,000 per month, which does not have to be in a Thai bank.

Is it possible to enter Thailand on a tourist visa to avoid proof of onward travel and then apply for a Non-O spouse visa in Savannakhet?

Richard *******

I have been asked for proof of onward/return travel even with a visa. In Luanda, Amsterdam and LHR,( granted this all happened over 10 years ago). A visa does not guarantee you entry into a country, If the airline feels that there is a risk, they are within their rights to deny you boarding.

What steps should I follow to marry my Thai girlfriend and obtain a marriage-based visa in Thailand?

Richard *******

@Matt ********

My paperwork never changes, same every year so just photocopied. then only thing I need to get is embassy letter verifying my pension which is easy to do and takes a week. 90 day report is a nice motorbike ride once every three months.As for things going sour, most men lose their asses anyway in UK and other "advanced" countries.

What should I do if I encounter issues while submitting my 90-day report online in Thailand?

Richard *******

It worked for me three times out of the 5 times I tried it , so 60%. However its a nice motorbike ride out to immigration where I live and the in person report usually only takes me 5-10 minutes.

What are the requirements for notarizing a marriage certificate for a visa extension in Thailand?

Richard *******

Unfortunately the archaic and chaotic Thai system of addressing is to blame for this requirement for a map to your residence. I often wonder how Thai post manage so well.

Is it normal for the Royal Thai Embassy not to respond after applying for a Non-O visa?

Richard *******

Yui Tipa Smith The last time I did this I think it took several days to get a reply, and I emailed them again to make sure they had received the documents and they were all in order. It may be that they wait until they get confirmation from Thai embassy London before contacting you again.
