Working for a UK Firm in Thailand
Tuvoc replied to Tally Ho's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Will the UK company who employs you let you work in Thailand long term ? Most would not. -
I've been to Anjira's clinic the last couple of weeks. She did a very nice job of fitting a new crown, I'm really happy with it.

Maje sure that you don't reach a judgement based on just one tank, give it two or three I'd say.

The big 2 tricks that many Car Tents and dealers get up to
Tuvoc replied to steevjee's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Don't some ECUs have a tampering alert on them - the ECU will always retain the real mileage that can be read by a standard diagnostic tool. Later BMWs I was told that was the case. Japanese stuff, don't know. -
Yes, they do happen.

I'm a fan of Chiang Rai and the north of Thailand generally. Some people like the beaches; I prefer the mountains and landscapes. Crop burning is a downside, and it drifts across from Myanmar too I think. Nowhere is perfect.

Cabinet Approves Visa Extension for Russian Tourists
Tuvoc replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Not correct, there is no distinction. 180 days present in a calendar year and you're tax resident for that year, tourist or otherwise. -
I've always had great service from the Chiang Rai office, better than Mae Sai. I think it depends on which IO you get on the day.

Re-entry Permit. Suvarnabhumi Airport??
Tuvoc replied to Gee Bangkok's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Doing it at the airport isn't my first choice, I would normally get a multiple re-entry permit at the same time as my extension of stay. But last time I only got a single re-entry so rather than going back to immigration I decided to do it at the airport. I made sure I had plenty of time, and kept my eyes open for it, and it was easy to spot. You can also ask one of the staff. -
One Year Marriage Extension
Tuvoc replied to Melpomene's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Last sentence - "authorised competent officer" - well that could be anyone. -
After the high profile rollout, I'd say no. My guess is that they have far more members now than they ever thought they would, and want to limit further expansion because they won't be able to cope with the numbers. That and the fact that the 20 yr one at 1m was too cheap compared to the 800k you have to put aside for retirement extensions. I don't think that the original goal was to attract "ordinary" retirees in such big numbers.

My existing non-O is in one passport with reentry permit, and I've applied for the Elite on a different passport (dual National). Immigration should be wanting to cancel the existing Non-O because my understanding is that you can't have two active permissions to stay. I'll have to see how they want to play that, I'm currently outside Thailand.

Moving, or an additional office ?
