there are two ways to get by in thailand.
one way, that most followed (and the way most people will tell you to go ), is to suck their little yellow cocks, in which case you will be fucked around simply because they get their jolliest by screwing over somebody more cowardly than themselves.
the other way is to handle it the way you did, in which case you will be fucked around for being rude and arrogant.
you do not get any further being rude and arrogant, but at least you do not end up with a foul taste in your mouth.
bet you get that visa quicker than the guy who waaid and sucked the arrogant, uneducated, self-im,portant little yellow peasant's nob![/quote]

That is funny as so close to the truth.

DrAndy

can you read Thai?


as for the Thais "making you get married", that is hardly the case

If you want to stay in Thailand, you have to abide by the rules for being granted a visa...same for every country

my wife could not stay in the UK for more than 6 months without a marriage certificate

Just a thought, Thailand wants to be rid of the whoring, disrespectful, rude and ignorant Farang which are giving Thailand a bad reputation.

That's why the rules are becoming tighter.

Given your other recent thread about finding a bi woman for sex via internet Nawty, we look forward to substantially more excellent adventures.

It was only 3 months when we lived in Germany.

Nawty

Hey 'geoff' did it take you a long time to come up with that screen name ?

Michael....while I agree with some of the reasons for changes, not all of the changes create the effect they want and some changes just downright do not make sense.

For example, my situation....I am under 50yo and cannot get the visa I have had for last 4 years now....because they changed it to you now have to be over 50yo to get the same deal.

So my question to the immigration lady that dealt with us when we went in at the end of March was....your rules now allow that guy over there (I pointed him out, there is always at least one in there at any given time of the day) becuase he is over 50yo, heck look at him he is over 70yo....he can have a child and stay here with his 25yo girlfriend with your full support......I am sitting here with my wife, a few years younger than me and an adorable little 3yo girl with the face of an angel and a son in school, I have not departed Los for over 3 years and all our holidays are spent travelling the length and breadth of the country....equates to lotsa dollars spent in los, not malaysia, vietnam, singapore or any other such country, here, my monthly income is also several times your 40k baht requirement, all of which is spent here..... but because I am under 50yo, I am not allowed to stay ? How are your rules working in this situation to keep the low life out ?


DocAndy...I did abide by the rules of this country, I did get a visa for several years based on those rules, then they change them mid stream. Fair enough, new rules, new deal, but when those new rules are not really fair for the situation or when there seems to be no way for seeking special reviews for specific situations, then sorry but in my opinion it sucks, your view may be different.

As for other countries and if the reverse was the situation...I agree with you entirely and I am happy you raised that important comparison.....my wife stayed in Oz for 5 years without a marriage certificate, she also has permanent residence, no work permit or such crap required, able to get all benefits, medical, unemployment, family, can own land etc etc if required and this was prior to having children also. So yes, I totally agree with you...fair is fair.

Good write up Nawty. Taking the time to sit down, compose and post your story is appreciated. Hope all turns out well for you. Will tune in next month to see how it all turns out.

EmperorTud

They could shut down all the red light areas tomorrow if they wanted.

It's not the reason, the reason, simply put, is there is just too many of us staying here longer term. And that's from the horse's mouth.

chitown

Even better will be when you go back to get your year and they give you only 3 months like they did me. I had to wait to get my year VISA for 3 more months while they "investigated" the marriage by driving by our home to see if we were really living together.

No matter, in the end I got 14 months of stay instead of just a year

I like your avatar Nawty.

Needless to say I'm not the only one.

sunderlandstephen

I`ve got same view on marriage, wife to be said you might as well sign it as not then , can`t argue with the logic

nikster

Good luck

The 1 year visa is just barely better than going out, getting 90 days, then getting a 60 day extension though, so it's not all that it's made out to be. By the time you went back there 5 times every 30 day, the visa is half expired. Was like that with my last one.

And now, I don't qualify for the 1 year wife extension anymore even though I am married, have assets, even have income.
Immigration Office: "We need proof from the embassy, with an embassy stamp"
Embassy: "No, we don't do that."

And that was the end of the story. I went back and forth between the two parties a few times, even ended up having them call each other(!) - no resolution. Thai office wants it, embassy doesn't do it, not for anyone, not if you are Jesus Christ, not if you are Bill Gates. Mai pen rai.

Nawty

I dont understand your situation Nickster, I presume that marriage is marriage and if you can prove the marriage then why would you not get it ?

You do not need an embassy to prove your marriage....or were you married outside los, then if so just go register at the amphur and get married again and show the thai documents.


I prefer the 1 year visa to the 90 day runs, did that long time ago and as of now I have not left Thailand for near 4 years.

I kind of hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, seeing as this time around they gave me 'consideration' it gives me the strength to continue even if denied again this time. Even just out of curiosity I would like to see how far I can take it and what the outcome is.

Bobcock

Based on my knowledge of you, refusing you is one way to start.

Jowblo

tsicar, What are you doing in this yellow peasant's land? Get a grip old fellow and drop the racism.

Thetyim

I think he is talking about proof of income not proof of marriage
