    Lone Ranger (Todd) & Tonto (Terry57) - should be here within 15 minutes. All "problems" solved - all wishes come to fruition. (Do not hold your breath - may be late - traffic jam.)

    Late News - "Yi-Yo - Silver".
    Kemo Sabe (alias Tonto) has his/her menstruals - had to drop off at 7-11 for first-aid. Lone Ranger took good care.
    Give them 5 more minutes, please.

    Shameless internet rip!
    Foreigners may acquire Thai nationality under Section 10 of the Act through naturalization or, in the case of women married to Thai citizens, they may apply to adopt their husbands’ nationality under Section 9, if they have been legally married for 3 years (1 year if they have a child together).
    The Act requires applicants for naturalization under Section 10 to have held permanent residence for 5 years, have an occupation in Thailand and have knowledge of the Thai language. Under a 2008 amendment, males married to Thai citizens are now exempted from the requirement to have permanent residence and knowledge of Thai but not from the requirement to have an occupation in Thailand. In order to qualify for the exemption, men with Thai wives must have been legally married for 3 years (1 year if they have a child together)

    No job - R/V - only $$$.
    No PR & no Thai nationality?
    Definition of "occupation" under Thai jurisdiction?

    Isn't "occupation" when soldiers from another country come in, set up shop in your country and sorta take control of things?

    No honestly, I think occupation has a broad encompassing definition.

    I imagine the linch-pin is that clause about having paid into the thai s/s system and filed taxes on income here during the last 3 years (or 1 year if married to a thai).

    It would appear the financial threshold is 80K baht per month (about $30K US a year), unless married to a thai when it's 30K baht a month (a little over $11K US a year).

    Isn't it strange when you're married to a thai both for extensions of stay based on marriage and for most things you wanna do PR, thai citizenship etc, you need LESS money than if you're single?

    I can't be the only one to find it strange that as a single person over 50 here I need to show 800K or 65K baht income but if I'm married to a thai woman I show only 400K or 40K baht income. Isn't your life here way more expensive if you have a significant thai other rather than being single?

    OR is it a cunning plan by the powers that be? Are they banking on the fact that each year you'll piss away at least another 400K baht on those "get rich slow schemes" concocted by the thai in-lawz & out-lawz which comprise your "extended family"?

    Interestingly enough, or not;
    I recently accompanied an American female who is married to a thai guy thru the yearly extension of stay based on marriage. There are NO financial requirement AT ALL. As in zero, zilch! It was the easiest most pain free extension of stay I've ever witnessed based on marriage!

    What about a "gender changed" man/to woman married to a Thai "male" ?

    What "papers" are required?

    Sounds about right; my wife did it herself (cheapskate) then got a friend who has a PhD in English and is a professor at a uni to check it and sign it - job done.

    I don't think she went to the Bkk office either; I seem to remember her doing everything by post; a pretty efficient and quick service too.

    Plus she can work without a WP if married to a thai ( i know a few ladies down here that do that)

    they figure a single male will be out fucking every night so needs more cash so he will not be a drain on the system when he gets sick

    I still dont understand why they rejected my lowly self for a marriage visa, it gets worse, I asked the dept of justice in NZ fora copy of my dissolution of marriage cert, they cant find it! I got a divorce about 18 years ago, I had copy but cant find it now, neither can the powers that be, as a last resort I emailed the embassy, they were very sympathetic and rang me back, said I should go to immigration in Udon and ask them what they need from me, useful advice but I suspect they dont know them selves. I find it strange that I have been married in NZ and have 2 girls 20 years here and they wont give me a proper visa, I current om a tourist visa.

    pp, a real challenge. Solution?
    My only suggestion - call in the LOS-residing equivalent of Batman & Robin. You need quality assistance - call in the "best of the best".

    Never heard of the guy but I am an Aussie. Living in LOS - you never cease your education - I like it.
    He kept quality company - eg Hell's Angels & Jack Nicholson.
    His "ending" - very creative.
    In life, I could not wish for more.
    Batman & Robin - quiet? Peaceful.

    I imagine you are referring to me.

    Get your shit sorted and keep the story straight you tool.

    I did not PM you, I sent you a nasty Red telling you to get fucked.

    I sent it simply because your smart arse posts are becoming very boring especially when you keep referring to me.

    So once again cock face, fuk right off.

    Cheers EH.

    Well, I hate to be a naysayer but. . . ..

    Just because you "know a few ladies" down Phuket way who do it doesn't mean it's legal.

    Plain and simple a foreigner can't work here whether you're married to a thai guy if you're a gurl or married to a thai gurl if you're a guy without a work permit issued by the Ministry of Labor (กระทรวงแรงงาน).

    You can't even volunteer (as in receive no salary) legally without holding a work permit, although tons of people do, just like there are far more Engrish teachers here hawking engrish for schools all over the country sans work permit than there are ones legally teaching. It's still against the labor laws regarding foreigners working in the Kingdom.

    Even holding PR status doesn't let a foreignes of either sex work without a work permit.

    Only holding thai citizenship lets that happen, because face it, after you jump thru all those hoops, you're a Thai, have a Thai I/D card and Thai passport..

    Hey, even I'll admit it's not easy nor all that fun to be Tod Daniels all the time. Sometimes I gotta take the wind outta my own sails... I don't wanna get too big for my britches you know.

    I heard a line on the teli the other nite which went like this;

    "Man, you're such an asshole, how do you stop from punching yourself in the face?"
    Made me laugh out loud.

    Once I get really good in thai, I'm gonna make a shirt that says;
    "Asshole now available in english and thai !"
