Hi Lomu A while back when the wife and I were at the immigration in Hua Hin she heard one of the women officers mention something regarding acting as a guarantor. It appears that she is/was married to a farang as well? About the 40K monthly income.................in order to satisfy immigration that...

Okay thanks guys. I may just go that route myself next time as it's cheaper than trekking all the way to Kuala Lumpur and that just for a 90 day stamp. Being able to extend for a year no longer applies to me as I simply do not have 400K in the bank :cry: Does anyone know if there is a way around thi...

180 days?

Well that's better than the 90 day non o visa I got so maybe I'll go for that option instead myself next time.

Are there any special requirements and what does it cost?

Thanks for any advice.

Hiya Not sure if you're after one of those that keep the water hot all the time or a regular kettle as used in the west. Contrary to what many may believe, I have switched from the standard Thai style kettle to a regular kettle and noticed a drop of about 300 baht a month in the electric bill. I fir...

Well, I did say I would give an update so here goes............... Step 1: - Went to the travel shop along the road from All In Hua Hin restuarant and inquired about a bus ticket to Kuala Lumpur. Was told the ticket would be 1550 baht. Step 2: - Went back two days later to pay for the ticket but was...

Noticed a few replies relating to the income requirements of the farang husband so just could not resist comenting on the Thai constitution........ According to the constitution, there will be no discrimination between the sexes. And yet, a faranf woman who marries a Thai man is not required to show...

Sorry, I forgot to address some other replies to this thread. My mate and his family were all across here in October/November for his wedding and while his family all had return tickets, he came over on a single ticket. Was allowed to board the plane on his end (UK) and was not asked for a ticket wh...

Sorry to go against what some are saying but here are some facts. I know these to be true as I just returned from Malaysia last night. I myself was applying for a Non O visa based on marrieage to a Thai. While I was hoping to get a one year visa, I was told the rules have changed and in order to qua...

Both UK and US customs will simply destroy any citrus fruit/seeds if they find them. Sending such items through the mail will in most cases work though as they only check random packages. The UK banned the import (legal) of kaffir lime (fruit,leaves and seeds) a short while back and it appears the m...

I'm sure if you were willing to settle for a house rather than a condo you may well find something to your liking. Anyway, good luck.

No water at our place in Borfai either. Was just saying to the neighbour today that I think the water season has started so it's back to few hours of water every three to four weeks. Boody nightmare and bloody expensive having to get it trucked in every other day. Oh well, maybe it'll be on later ag...

Okay thanks for the reply. I nip along to immigration on Mon or Tuesday and see if it's possible. I'm really looking forward to my KL trip as it gives me a break from the wife and kid (lol) and of course I love the food there but with all the holidays at this time of year, a 60 day extension may jus...

I agree with you 100% MC It would appear that the past governments were more than happy to put the kids out of the picture so long as they could gloat over being able to chase a few more farang out of the country. I don't depend on visa exempt stamps so that is certainly not why I disagree with the ...
