New regs won't mean a thing unless they change this one sentence "A one-year extension of stay shall be granted at the discretion of the immigration officer to the foreigner as long as he or she meets the above requirements."
Thailand Visa Information : Non-Immigrant Visa "O-A" (Long Stay) - Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand
So as of today, "NO NEW NEWS." :-)
You guys are correct, it was again a No New News day, BUT they did say there is a 'draft' of something or other fixing to come out after the new year.
They did confirm (for the 10th time) that IF your consulate was discontinuing the affidavit of income from abroad notary letters but you got one before they stopped and your extension was in the next 6 months, they'd still accept the letter.
take care all, have a safe and happy new year
As I do every year, had a Christmas dinner at home with lots of folks attending. Had 2 immigration friends come. They also comfirmed a draft was being prepared but as with most anything, Bangkok aka the center of the universe, has kept the provincials in the dark as to details.
