as stated .... visit first.... for extended stay to try to become acclimated ..... if you decide to stay for longer.... reverse engineer the process.... read/ask where is the best immigration office to apply... if out of the country or inside the country... travel there and do what you need to do to obtain the visa you want for your situation.... then you can move to where you really want to set up your life.... up to you....
local district checks with immigration..local district office no problems ...head of village....and.. Wife's father present their info...as did wife..everyone sign .multiple copies..immigration is the problem..local district is just waiting for immigration why local district needs report from immigration is up to district.
I after observing the head lady at the immigration office..I suspect that she is the problem...there is nothing pleasant about her demeanor.. while I do not speak thai much.. I rely on careful attention to the non verbal and the intonation of the words spoken. After observation of her autocratic interaction with her subordinates.. she is the abuser of her position..
also not particularly pleased with the chiang rai immigration ofc... I have never spoken while in the office..always kept neutral expression .. my wife speculated they are wanting money..
the previous translated copy was for yellow book too.... had to wait on immigration to return what ever report they do... so was told after I left ... that I would have to wait to complete yellow book upon my return... now this request...just the way it goes.. I guess. beginning to wonder..................
