    Servile crawling

    Well,
    tomorrow is the day, time to put on some clean clothes nice shoes, best foot forward so to speak!

    It's Visa Application day again!

    The yearly "Grovelfest" I have to submit to...when I pretend I don't understand a word of Thai while the Immigration Hitler puts us through the third degree!

    I find it best to let the wife do the talking, I'd only end up pissing these fucking beauracrats off!

    So we have a double photocopy of everything I have ever said and done in my life...but they will want more..I guarantee it...."We need a signature in blood please"... can you lick my toes while I process your application!

    It doesn't matter what copies of what you take, they will even deliberately "lose" one, just to make you go and spend 2 baht at their photocopy shop!

    I found two photos (why waste em) they are from me from about 12 years ago....agile youthfull and handsome (let's see if they even notice!)

    It's the boot licking that really pisses me off...when you get called into the head cunts office, along with about three other couples (after you have had everything processed) and he starts on about how it would be nice to have some air con in here.....does he want me to buy it for him?

    I would have rather had an F-16....he'd be fucking grateful for his fan if I was to "Fly By"

    Chiang Mai...they aren't too bad as long as I get the same girl thet has "processed" me for the past few years.

    It is the boss that keeps changing, they had a lady there a few years back, she was great, (her old man had a tyre/wheel business near San Patong..I used to show her card for a 10% discount) but now they have this dwarf with an inferiority complex...he knows he can't do anything as everything stacks up..he just likes to turn the screw.. I'd douse him in '95 and a match, if I got the chance!

    Excuse me? Planet Earth calling... I am simply renewing my yearly extension, by grovelling to beauracrats, as I have done for the past 7 years...it is just an "Extension" to stay in "Paradise" ...I can't buy anything or really "LIVE" here...a temporary extension to my "TEMPORARY EXISTENCE" in this "Temporary " country!

    It is the yearly crawl through hoops whilst licking dogs arses to get that little stamp in your passport that allows you to reside...(but only on a temporary basis) in this wonderful land of smiles... despite the fact you are legally married, and have children..Nat King Cole Springs to mind....what a wonderful world!

    Update....moderate success...At least I got to see the usual immigration officer I have seen for the past few years, and she is quite OK, a bit "domineering" but she can have a laugh...(She keeps asking me if she looks older and fatter every year, of course I tell her she looks as lovely as ever...)

    Well, as suspected the visa application was not as straight forward as I had hoped.

    I had photocopied as much as I thought necessary, but believe me, the immigration officer was shuffling the paers faster than a blackjack dealer, and reckoned I had not provided copies of the Tabien Bahn...despite both me and my wife pointing them out..she kept shuffling, they kept disapearring...it's a no win situation!

    Then we were sprung the news that "You need a family photo from home"....like what the fuck is this?

    She showed me an example from the previous applicant. I told her I lived 40K or so from the office, "No problem" she said..."They take your picture here"

    So yes, the family photo was taken at the small restaurant at the back of CM immigration....like a fucking holiday snap - 100Baht!

    Next, she wanted a "MAP" of my home!

    A Biro scrawl on a piece of A4, that denoted neither a road number or a relevant landmark actually did the trick (She seemed like she was just going through the motions and basically didn't give a shit) The CIA wouldn't find my place from the crap map I drew!

    Then the bank book!

    I haven't been to the bank since the 24th Feb...despite the bank letter from the beginning of march saying all was OK, she insisted I had to got to the bank (during her lunch hour) and have the book updated. She told me there was a SCB in the Airport Plaza...so off I went!

    All I could find initially were ATM's, I don't have a card.

    Eventually I saw the bank and went in and took a ticket...all of a fluster now, trying to make sure I was back by 1pm, as she almost scolded me like a school teacher.

    15 minutes later, and like a complete fucking idiot, I ask the girl to update the bank book..."Cannot" she says..."WHY?????"

    "This is the Bangkok bank...you need the siam Commercial" ...how I crawled like a dog out of that place.

    12.30pm, we eventually find the SCB...after standing in a queue for a few minutes, I pass the book to the girl and ask her to "update"

    "OK, no problem"...and as I am walking out, I check the book...it still shows the 24th Feb!!

    I go back and ask her if she can update it with a print out with todays date..NO CAN DO!

    So I thought, OK, stick money in or money out...so I stuck 1000 Baht in, and can you believe the fuckers charged me 30 Baht...3% to DEPOSIT 1000 BAHT! Do these people where masks and striped suits???

    Anyway, back to immigration, all ok, then sent into the back office to meet the boss, who is a new "younger" boss, who has managed to get some aircon!

    and the outcome...come back at the end of April...

    In the meantime, while sitting with the immigration officer, an old farang of about 60 years turns up, broken wrist, in a sling, looks like absolute SHIT...with this 6 foot tall Thai man wearing a dress and make up...the fucking immigration office are in stitches, I catch a few of the comments..."Where did you meet your friend..haw haw haw!" The Katoey replies..."On the telephone haw haw haw"...what kind of visa were they after...

    Mate, you are 100% correct, it doesn't matter what you copy, they will "lose" a bit "Hide" a bit...you will never ever walk into these places and come out unscathed.. they are masters of deception! David Copperfield hasn't a look in where these fuckers are concerned!

    You can copy and copy, but like today, they were asking for a copy of the Tabien bahn...it was there...right under her nose...but after I pointed it out to her, and she ignored me like something from under a stone, I realised, it was time to shut the fuck up, I simply went outside, copied the same pages as she had already, gave her them and she was happy as a pig in shit!

    You cannot argue...just submit to the humiliation...it's only once a year that you need to dance to their tune! Sadly, it doesn't bring about the same jovial spirit of Christmas...it is more like here we fucking go again...what will they ask for this Time!!!!!

    Just wait..next year they will probably want photos of you fucking your wife in the marital bed, probably being blessed by some saffron clad serpent taking the photos while he gives the old man a good jerk!

    Let's face it, they do not want us here!

    The "Normal" list...what is on the normal list? it changes every year!

    One year it is a joint bank account, then it is a seperate bank account, since when was a photo required?

    When we came here joint income was allowed, and the bank account had to be in joint names...whats normal? It was originally 250K in the bank, or 250K earned between the husband and wife..then it went to 400 K jointly earned by husband and wife, now it is 400K, only in the husbands name, and has to be in the bank 2 months before the visa date...and a map??? when did you need to be a fucking cartographer? .WHATS CHANGED????

    You would have known all that if you had spent an hour checking requirements a fortnight before it was due.

    I reckon you got off lightly because you also need a Kor Ror 2 form now as well

    You say that the requirements change every year but you don't try and find out before you go.

    Maybe one of these PS3 gaming companies could come up with a new game for the PS3.."DANCING THROUGH HOOPS" - Obtain a Thai Visa Extension In One Easy Go...where you have to copy the correct documents...present them ibn time... and score points!

    100 points... you get the extension there and then

    75 points.. you need to come back in a month.

    50 points or less...fuck off...and fuck off within 7 days..

    You could get bonus points for "pre empting" the next stupid requirement.. + 10 points for a map to your home, another 5 points for a family photo..25 points for having a saffron robed devil included...+ 5 points for no empty beer bottles, -20 for a drunken Thai on Lao kao...imagine the possibilities.. not GTA...GVT...Grand Visa Thailand!

    Oh to be as fucking clever as you!...what the fuck is a Kor Ror 2?...if all of us were simply as smart as you it would be plain fucking sailing!

    It states that HUMANS need to fill in a TM7....nothing more...bring a copy of the Marriage Cert, the Birth Cert, if applicable, a letter from the bank, the Tabien bahn, ID and Passports...
