Trying to find where the online girlfriend works?

if they can make up the rule that my visa from 2 years ago disqualifies me to convert this visa now they can certainly make up a rule that it disqualifies me from getting an extension as well. Earlier in the day the people at Maisai wouldn't give me a 30 day extension without my least and photocopies of my wife's ID. When we were getting married we had the office in THREE provinces insist they could not do the marriage and we had to do it in a different province and wound up back at the first place where they, then, did it. I definitely want someone there to look me in the eye and state plainly that getting the extension won't be a problem- but I don't know why given that they have lied about other things.

here is a screenshot from a YEAR ago where i say "tourist 60 day" and nobody corrects me. I wasn't just told what to do and decided everyone can fuck off and I'll invent my own shit.

@Brandon ***********

even you are being sloppy with the vocabulary and contradicting yourself. It takes the zing out of your reprimand. You are also misrepresenting what has happened.

First you say "you cannot convert to a marriage extension you convert to a marriage visa"

THEN you say "you convert to a marriage visa not an extension"

THEN you say "I was told to get the marriage visa before I traveled"

And I will remind you that almost daily we see people say "actually there is no marriage visa only a marriage extension" in this very group. So cut me some slack. It was my earnest understanding that I was supposed to come on a tourist visa and convert here because you could not come as a 30 day exempt and the do it- but I was told a week ago that as long as I had the 14 days I could.

One of the stories the staff told me yesterday was that you CANNOT get ANY VISA through the website that you can convert to marriage status from. But they told me other things that contradicted and then blamed the whole thing on the Ed stamp.

Wife says it's time to go home, goodnight.

I was 100% of the understanding I was to come on a tourist visa and then convert to marriage extension. I was told yesterday by two offices that this was not the case, but then they conflate the issue and say the problem is that I had the Ed visa previously.

@Steve ******

yeah I am a derp- because I had falsely assumed these were "advanced visas" that had to be done in country when I first saw the name dropped here (in the context of avoiding the financial requirements) I assumed it was an immigration office and everything else just built on that. Smh.

@Brandon ***********

retirement visa is not of interest really, it was just me wondering about the nature of things.

Right now what I am worried about is if I go to Laos and get the visa will I get trouble renewing it because of the previous Ed visa. If so, I need to get a new passport. I know it will be in the system, but the problem appears to be related to them flipping through the stamps. It is such a weird hurdle to have actual staff just lie about stuff. I don't like the concept of using work-arounds. I want to work within the system- but my compassion is running low.

@Brandon ***********

my brain hurts and this is why I'm not fit to function in polite society. I've been seeing that name since I joined the group and I thought it was an immigration office near Laos in Esan.

So can you get a retirement visa at an embassy location in another country also??

@Brandon ***********

this isn't a draw for me- but I thought this was shady business. They apparently don't care about the Ed visa thing too. It makes me wonder if they will just do it in my current configuration.

@John *********

can confirm. Bring a good sample and maybe a virgin goat also just in case.
