yeah we’re in the middle of doing that right now, that’s why Gemini gave me a lil myocardial infarction when it said I’d need to legalize before applying for my initial non-o. It’s been in State Department limbo for almost ten weeks now, despite multiple follow-ups.

Awesome, thanks Brandon. We're in the US, so looks like we're all set. We do plan to get the documents legalized but didn't think it was strictly necessary until after we arrived and wanted to apply for the extension. Looks like we're all good. Thank you.

4:1 might be a stretch but it’s not far off depending on where and how you live.

@Christopher *******
yeah I think you’d have to manage it within Office settings.

My Thai wife just sold land we owned in Kanjanaburi. The local government office made her produce copies of her grandparents’ death certificates. They died before we bought the land and names were never involved in the transaction, ever. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, surprises me (or upsets me) with this country anymore.
Dave *********
Absolutely. God forbid my family ever has to collect, it’ll go much farther after we move there.

Love anything that insulates me from bureaucracy.

I’d be going for it myself if they weren’t doing away with the Bronze tier end of June.

yes people and businesses charge based on the value their product or service delivers to the customer.

Plumbers charge triple for emergency calls over the weekend, for example.

Not BS, not unfair, definitely not a new concept.

Credit to you for your patience here 😅
