E-Visa option legitimate option?
Maestro replied to Deserted's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Seeing how unhelpful the Thai embassy in Saudi Arabia was, don't call them again. Instead, on their website, click on the link to the eVisa site and take it from there. It runs you through about a dozen data entry pages and if you have any question along the way, ask for advice in this topic. -
I doubt that the OCS site concerns itself with immigration regulations. Best post in an ongoing topic about the TM.30 requirement or start a new topic.

A general observation now, about a good source for Thai laws. A decade or so ago the dean of the law faculty at Thammasath University pointed me to krisdika.go.th, the website of the Council of State, aka the Cabinet. This site had a database of Thai laws and Royal decrees that was easy to search, even for me who do not read Thai, and was always updated with the latest amendments. Moreover, it had also a repository of excellent English translations of the most important laws. With the advent of the incumbent Thai government, krisdika.go.th now redirects to ocs.go.th/council-of-state/#/intro-page, which I find more complicated to navigate, but the texts of Thai laws are all there. The good English translations are sadly gone and are replaced with what I think are second rate machine translations.

It is a handicap of people who learnt English as a foreign language. When I read something, I understand it the way it is written, usually giving no thought to what else the writer might really have meant. I'm afraid it will happen again, and again. It is an incurable handicap.

Another thing I learnt today: when a link starts with the domain name asean.org, like for example the link https://asean.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Thailand185.pdf that was posted here, it is a link to an ASEAN NOW page.

Thank you. I learnt something new. A link that ends with .pdf, like the link https://asean.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Thailand185.pdf that was posted here, it is not a PDF download. It is only when a reader clicks on it that it becomes a PDF download, ie a PDF file is downloaded.

Put it down to my poor understanding and unreasonable expectations. When you wrote "overridden" I stupidly assumed that you referred to the text that was in force before the text you quoted.

The above English translation of section 14 of the Nationality Act was cancelled and replaced with a new text enacted with Nationality Act (No.4) B.E.2551. For the official text, which is obviously in Thai language, please refer to the publication in the Royal Gazette, to which you will hopefully have access as an apparent employee of a law firm.

In this earlier post of yours in this topic you wrote "From our own website", you quoted an English translation of Section 14 of the Nationality Act, and you posted the link ttps://asean.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Thailand185.pdf which leads to a PDF document in English entitled Do I deduce correctly that you are an employee or co-owner of ThaiLaws.com but have not seen an updated version of Section 14 of the Nationality Act?

A constitution neve makes references to law. The constitution is the document based on which laws are enacted, not the other way around.

Qantas flights numbers ?
Maestro replied to georgegeorgia's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I believe it makes a difference whether or not you call from a landline phone or from a mobile phone. -
Thai ED Visa with Spanish? (in BKK)
Maestro replied to Boby011's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You won't find many schools teaching Spanish in Thailand. The suggestion made by DrJack54 seems ideal for your situation. -
Canceling a single entry non-o visa?

Canceling a single entry non-o visa?
Maestro replied to Gulfsailor's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Could the BOI perhaps want to see immigration's stamp USED across the old, used non-O visa? In the past, immigration sometimes put that stamp on single-entry visas of any type. -
Ukraine is running out of men to fight.
Maestro replied to thaibeachlovers's topic in The War in Ukraine
That's an interesting comment. A lot of countries got involved in a German dispute with a number of European countries, during the second world war, and I, for one, am glad that they did. -
What do you think about Ukrainians feeing to Europe?
Maestro replied to swissie's topic in The War in Ukraine
This topic might have made for an interesting discussion if the opening post had included links - from credible sources - for the statements being made. As this was not the case, this topics need to be closed. -
Bangkok & Chiang Mai Ranked among Top Asian Cities for Expats in 2024
Maestro replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If high air pollution results in a high ranking "among Top Asian Cities for Expats", city governments in Thailand should make more effort to increase pollution. (I was going to say they should make less effort to reduce pollution, but I have not seen any effort in that direction) -
Non o immigration visa Thai wife
Maestro replied to wood78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just for the record, not to make a point regarding the issue of this topic: the acronym OP is regularly used on this forum to mean either of the following: 1. "the opening post", ie the post with which the topic was started 2. "the original poster", ie the person who started the topic -
Non o immigration visa Thai wife
Maestro replied to wood78's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I see some contradiction here. 1. money stuck in Thailand 2. Money has left my Thai account If the money is no longer in your Thai account, where exactly is it stuck in Thailand?
