  1. Are they planning to recriminalize cannabis still? If so, <deleted>.
  2. As the post says, I picked up my new US passport in Bangkok. I'd like to just go to Chaengwattana and get it transferred because I won't go back to Phuket for a bit. My visa is actually almost expired but was issued in Phuket (non-ED) and I am waiting for my work permit and business visa paperwork, so I'd rather not go back down to Phuket just to get the visa stamp transferred if I can do it in BKK. Thanks!
  3. I think what is meant is that the land can't be sold because he was only renting, so he can't personally sell it. And that the club had different investors, so he wasn't able to figure out how or if any of them would help Probably the landlowners let them rent the building for the club with different people investing from his family? But he was the one running the show, and he can't depend on any of them; Just a guess
  4. My Cambodian friend, who is on an MOU/non-LA visa is going home to visit family. They have a work permit for Thailand. They did not leave Thailand during COVID at all. They have 2 vaccines and a 3rd booster - all from Thailand They are flying from BKK to Phnom Penh on the 24th of this month (March 2022) They are returning to BKK from Phon Penh on the 8th or 9th of next month (April 2022) My assumption is that they still need a ThaiPass, however, it was unclear to me if they need pre-flight PCR tests before going to Cambodia and coming back from Cambodia. It's important not just because of the money saving aspect, but also because they live in the countryside, so they would need to go to Phnom Penh 2 days early and stay in a hotel in order to get the PCR results in time. I heard that the pre-flight PCR is going to be scapped, but it's not clear to me if that means before leaving Thailand or before coming to Thailand, and when the requirement changes (March or April). Thanks!!!
  5. Before COVID I remember them being blue/purpleish, but I just got my first one in years and it was red and sort of a waving flag shape. Is this normal? Did they change?
  6. How is the situation with applying for tourist visas in PP right now? My situation: American passport, entered on visa exempt before COVID-19, followed by amnesty and then converting to Smart-S. when that finished, moved to COVID extension. Left for PP 2 days ago when the COVID extension finished. (prior to this, have a history of 3-month non-Bs and a non-ED, all from PP). I have over 1k USD in a Cambodian bank account and ~250k THB in Thai bank accounts. I could, theoretically, print out my account balances that show I have enough in Thailand, and I could book an onward ticket. But, I'm not sure if they are denying people these days. I already applied for and obtained my ThaiPass approval to return at the end of this week. I was planning to enter on visa exempt, and then applying for a different type of visa inside Thailand that I was not able to do because of my previous Smart-S. But now I am thinking it would buy me some extra time if I can obtain a tourist visa. I'm just not sure if 1) people are being rejected right now in Cambodia with similar histories to mine (and I don't want to waste money on a visa application or have any denials in my passport) and 2) if I would even have the sufficient documentation (print outs of my account balances - I should have asked for something proper before I came to Cambodia. But I can still go to my Cambodian bank tomorrow and get a statement - but it's just over 1k USD).
  7. got approved for 60 days. the guy who showed up in the Michael Jordan jersey and shorts was sitting there for a long time, though. i should add, i did include a flight itinerary as well. and the IO appeared to write more on my copies that i gave to her.
  8. thanks. i'll definitely report back after i go. how many extensions did that person have? i'm going to N1, if that helps.
  9. Details: American passport 5 previous COVID extensions I have my TM30 I have my printout of my online TM47 (90 day report) approved 10 months left of insurance coverage from AIA in Thailand (~25MB), which includes COVID I was supposed to have a job, but they said they started the visa process but did not finish it (NGO), so I have a letter saying that (in Thai), which was meant for my insurance company, not immigration. Not planning to move forward with the NGO because they are taking too long Need to go to Chaengwattana for this. Going tomorrow (a week early).
