[Not renewing extension of 1 year visa]

1 minute ago, Upnotover said:

Apply for single non-O in 'my country' before you come back and you'll get a 90 day entry.  That way you avoid onward ticket issues and also avoid 1 trip to immigration.  Then extend that in the last 30 days.  You'll be basically starting over so all the original requirements, financial, etc, will apply. 

so the "interview "will be done again ? lol 

 

[Not renewing extension of 1 year visa]

i'd like to know in this scenario ,

Believe it or not , when activating your smile muscles it changes your brain chemistry,

"When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Then other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins come into play too. The endorphins act as a mild pain reliever, whereas the serotonin is an antidepressant. "

https://www.sclhealth.org/blog/2019/06/the-real-health-benefits-of-smiling-and-laughing/#:~:text=When you smile%2C your brain,the serotonin is an antidepressant.

There is even evidence that faking a smile makes positive changes to your brain chemistry

"  when the participants simply mimicked a smile, they felt happier. Researchers say our brains look to our facial expressions to understand how we are feeling. Smiling tells our brains we are happy or feeling good. Scowling sends the message we're feeling bad."

i have not been feeling great for personal reasons. thats one of the reason I dont smile as much i guess . thanks for this  / 

 

probably when i dont smile others find me not approchable and they like dont smile back . I usually only smile when others smile at me .

A smile is the best investment you can ever make.The returns go through the roof and the cost is negligible. 

Advice: any time you can do something that costs nothing and has great returns you should do it.

In addition , aside from making others feel better, a smile changes your brain chemistry and makes you feel better. 

So a win win situation.

thanks , probably Im not such a smiley person . maybe I should do what u say to make myself and others feel better too

Eye contact does it for me every time. 

 

No I'm not being lascivious, smiling is one thing, but eye contact is quite another.

 

I don't think it's shyness, because the girls at checkouts in particular, have dead-eyes even as they ???????? and look away.

 

Sometimes I wonder if they're just exhausted by incel jerks who endlessly leer back at them, and have just given up sharing any of their true personality. 

 

The waitresses have a financial stake in being sweet, but sadly, I think the reality in their hearts is more like the Checkout experience. 

 

 

i really notice this also when i go to super markets , they like dont really give eye contact much. 7-11 are better and friendlier . no idea why

[do u guys usually smile to the staff / waiters when u go buy / eat / shop ?]

I am  not trolling , , I have been here awhile and even when i go out with my thai friends to eat , I notice they dont really smile at service staff , which in turn make me feel its normal just to show a poker ( normal ) face when ordering food .

 

Maybe its just me that i dont smile. But i thnk i should try. cos sometimes when I do smile I will get a smile in return.

 

Pardon me again for those who feel that I am trying to troll. cos when i frist came here to thailand I felt that almost everyone is smiling . but or its just me that been here for a while and feel that its normal not to smile at strangers .

 

anyyway I really appreciate all the replie.s

You have to wait for the under consideration period, after that you can. Easy!. But I've heard some people using an agent do not have to wait, they can withdraw money even while on the under consideration period

. if i had to wait till after the period its fine too.  just wanted to make sure .

 

anyone tried withdrawing immediately after application ? 

[Thai spouse visa - do i need to wait till visa approval before withdrawing money ?]

400k in bank account for 60 days , after I applied for it , do I need to wait for the approval of the visa before I can withdraw 

money?   I have a bank account which i put in 400k just for the visa. 

 

TIA !

[Just came back to thailand last week , do i need to do 90 days reporting ?]

26 minutes ago, MJCM said:

Please note:

 

Day of arrival counts as day 1, so accurately count the date for the 90 day report.

it is date of arrival + 89.

 

For example: You arrived 1st September, your report date would be Tuesday 29th November

 

(This not counting for the 15 days before and 7 days after in which you can report)

i will do the report on the 85th day ^^
