@Jeremy *******

lived in 1 province in the south for 2 years straight and 1 city in the north east for the 10 years straight? Will I be graced with the enlightenment that you have soon or is it one of those ‘you have to pull out a red ball from a hat to win’ prizes?

@James ******

I think I’m following, I’ve also lived here for 12 years and have 2 Thai children and also speak the language proficiently. I love Thailand. That’s exactly why I endeavour for the improvement of Thailand. So I can have a better and safer world for my children to grow up in- a world where my children can fill in a short form online for a VO5 and not be stuck in the Land transport office for 3 days straight.

@Jeremy *******

We’re trying very hard to enjoy a sabai sabai lifestyle but that’s the problem. Thai immigration aren’t so sabai sabai about it, in fact they take it quite seriously and they expect us to take it equally as serious. Thanks very much for your insight however, unless you have any more useless nonsense or unhelpful drivel to spout?

@Jeremy *******

how does realising that this is Thailand, help us navigate Thailand’s backward and inadequate banking system and the incompetent and ignorant representatives of such banks respectively?

Do about 6–$8,000 usd pcm, no idea how but 2 kids and 2 wives

@Jeremy *******

2 minutes? You mean 2 and half hours in the bank (if you’re really lucky) and it has to be certified by bank on the same day you apply for extension

@Henrik ****

-up to the discretion of the officer employed by the Immigration Bureau and Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Meaning their decision-making processes/ “discretion” must comply with legal frameworks under Thai immigration laws, regulations, and official directives as per Immigration Act, B.E. 2522 (1979), Ministry of Foreign Affairs Regulations, Immigration Bureau Orders and any Royal Thai Police Directives? Is that what you’re talking about?

Thailand's a bloody nightmare with this. If no luck at all, best bet possibly selling to someone at a discount or someone returning to US sometime soon etc

I think is right, 7 day emergency extension 1,900 baht
