elgordo38 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Retirement extensions and 90 day reports next ? will they ever make things a little easier for us here. regards Worgeordie Is it April 1st again? Yes they are now catering to these workers as they are helping to build Thailand. Then there are the tourists that spend money here who get special attention as well. We unfortunately are way back in the pack somewhere. I guess we can give some praise as the computer at Immigration here in Chiang Mai is up and running again. Will they ever make things a little emphasis on little easier for us here. Hard to say we are the gift that just keeps on giving. Even though we are smaller in numbers than foreign workers and Chinese tourists we do have wives and g/f's and extended families that we support. They certainly do not give us recognition we deserve but then we do not do it for recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It's not April 1st YET!!! I think someone must have found this article in the bag designated for jokes and as you say pulled it out too early. I can't imagine Seven Eleven stores being allowed to approve work permits. Surely that requires an official government officer. Maybe it is "only for labourers" and only in extension cases. Imagine the queues that could form if there are complications. If there is any truth in this then CP are becoming more and more powerful. I think your last statement is correct about CP. Lets put a bug in their ear.

elgordo38 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Retirement extensions and 90 day reports next ? will they ever make things a little easier for us here. regards Worgeordie You can do your 90 day reports on line what more you want ? Why retirement extensions next ? ...surely other people who work here legally and are not migrants should be the next one...retiree will be at the bottom of the dung heap Online works for very few here mail is better. Getting the online queue system up and running again would be a real bonus. It would make the annual trip out to the hinterland that much easier along with getting a immediate signature on the visa extension rather than coming back at 4.30 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its here to show us that Thailand can make progress in handling foreigners. Its a step forward and not a step backwards as in our case. I am using Chiang Mai as an example.

The Thai government are always singing the praises of these countries workers here in Thailand,, especially when some Thai person is accused of a crime. Blame gets diverted. Also they don't question the idiotic way the Thai people are treated, unlike the white westerners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Not sure why this is even on Thaivisa, as it doesn't really affect Western expats. Maybe because its a Thailand news story, Thai politics had nothing to do with the vast majority of western expats on Thai Visa, but that doesnt stop them does it...or commenenting about any other news story that has nothing to do with them either Teaching the teacher how interesting. Every day is education for me as well or it is a wasted day. Yes culture is culture and then there is common sense. I guess even common sense varies from country to country.

55Jay Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 7-11s in high density areas can sometimes have 6 people behind a counter of 3 registers. Granted, one of the extras sometimes runs the microwave/fast food prep station, which is good. Do hope there will be flexibility to open a queue for immigration. It's enough standing there waiting to purchase a Coke, while the person in front pays a fistful of utility, internet and cell phone service bills.

elgordo38 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Will Thai voters next be able to cast their votes at the nearest 7/11? No one would dare block public access to a 7/11 ! I think your onto something here. Maybe like electronic futurist money they could vote at home via the computer. That would work in the elites favor as the votes they are trying to bypass could not be cast as a lot of poor farmers have no computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familyaffairs Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 7 Eleven is no longer a store of convenience, its a store of inconvenience what with hordes of people paying their bills at the counter causing long queues, now we can expect flocks of illiterate Burmese to supplement those queues.

elgordo38 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Nothing about 7 11 staff getting extra pay for this work. If this was at home the Unions would have been all over it for tha past year or two already. ...But I love the way no time delays here. A change is announced and brought into effect almost immediatly....not like at home. it would be 3 or 4 years before it would come into force Yes they have a way of cutting through the "red" tape here. They are all fans of Startrek. They just love the words "Make It So" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that reduces waiting times at Immigration Offices will be of benefit. The answers are obvious any 10 year old could figure out how to improve the system unlike the our way or the highway approach used today. It could even be improved and save the government money but then the circus atmosphere would disappear entirely and it would just become another mundane job. I guess we are the humor aspect in the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvavin Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Working at 7-11 is extremely tough now.
