Extending 'permission to stay' at Kap Cheong

humbert said:
This is a quote from Tod Daniels, an expert on Thai Immigration issues who posts on other forums. News to me and pretty much opens the door for KCI or any other office to require whatever they please:

"I think that last bit written into the rules about extensions; "or other documentation deemed relevant by the officer" is their catch-all.. They can pretty much ask for what every they want. "

The only persons who are experts on Thai immigration are Immigration Officers. And that could be considered doubtful.

There are a lot of people that are willing to take your cash on their own recommendation of expertise.

It's over. The actual stamp in my passport on Dec. 24th will be anti-climactic compared to the comic farce at my house this afternoon.
We had 30 minutes notice of their arrival. My wife was out at her farm harvesting rice. She appeared in a panic blabbering about getting poo yais to come and having to organize refreshments. At the same time as the two officers arrived in their Forerunner the septic tank cleaning truck showed up to pump out our tank. After that smelley business was completed we got down to business; photo ops, questions, paper shuffling, printing, stamping etc. They accepted our offer of wine and beer and we had a friendly chat about life in general. Totally unneccessary but typical Thai beaureacratic excess. We were their last stop of the day so they were in a mood to unwind which added about a half hour to the whole process.

I would consider the offer of beer and wine followed by a frieñdly chat about life in general as 'chummy up' - wouldñ't you ?
Or is that considered WTF (your words) ?

I would call it cordial not chummy. 'Chummy up' is derogatory.

I have found his comments and insight helpful and reliable and he gets nothing for responding to numerous questions and PM's on Teakdoor.
I'd like to ask gotlost why you derided me and my characterization of Tod? have you had some negative experience to with him? Why don't you address the issue instead of attacking the poster?

He is 100% Troll and you have done nothing but post negative comments. People on this forum are very aware of what goes on at KCI but they do not go about beating on their chest about the evils and how THEY will fix it. You are working on being a serious troll . You need to take a chill pill and lighting up. And as for addressing the issues, your doing enough for all of us..and it has not changed a bit.

Ah, I wasn't aware that chummy up was derogatory. I thought it meant to be friendly or acting personable.
Possibly I read too much Dickens , dreary me.

Semantics. I must not be up to snuff on my urban dictionary. What does it mean to you ? Taking it up the pooper-shooter or kissing arse. That was indeed NOT my intention.

I think you intended it pejoratively. If I'm wrong then I've learned a bit about your style.

I guess you may have learned about my style.
If I wanted to be derogatory I would be without hiding in the bushes.
I'm pretty straight forward if (and only when) I attack in writing.
I can be acerbic or considered satirical to help prove a point. I'll certainly admit to that.
I have called some by more definitive terms when in the heat of battle ---plain words in clear language.

Humbert, I know you as well as you know me in person. I have no bones to pick with you. I hope you can come to understand that.

Keep well in mind that British folk speak a different language then we Americans though I try to keep them clued in on the discussion as well.

I do not believe that I ever have called anyone an arsehole, a f**kwit, an ass-licker, a coont, a mongoloid idiot etc - EVER on a forum though it's quite the vogue on TD.

Now back to the main point.
This is a thread about KCI. Sure everyone feels that they should just get a one-year visa without interference or the perceived "jumping through hoops".
(I too feel that I've got the money vested for years so what's the big deal. I'llplay by their rules until I don't want to play. Simple.)

I believe they're trying to catch those who are not really in a marriage and whom can not afford the higher freight requirements to make their extension based on retirement.

Sure, this is Thailand and we are NOT citizens.
Therefore I believe Thais do NOT like to be soundly criticized on an expat forum...and believe it or not - that is what the Forum is all about---fook this, fook that, stoopid people, la-di-dah.

So if you were the head of IMM and you read what is written by expats "who want to live in LOS" ---just WTF would you like to do ? Possibly a little payback to teach ya'all that you're lucky ...and don't ever forget it.
IMM can make life easy or it can make it tough. Right now it's tough at KCI.

If by any chance Mr Farang , that you don't like it - leave the country and then let us all know how much better it is living somewhere else.

Question: How many expats met their Thai wife while attending university in Thailand or abroad ?

Why don't YOU ask them?

I diď. They have an abundance of IO's in Surin Prov / KCI.
Number of expats last reported to reside in Surin - over 2,000. How many do you see ?

Possibly some have stopped reporting or fail to file for extension.
Why don't you ask yòur two 'witnesses' about the pàpeŕs the IO's had them sign verifying if you're living at home "for reàl". Their signature puts them legally on hook in case you're filing an address but not really residing there...(no idea what the penalty would be as I do not read Thai).
 
There still could be other semi-residents on other visa's / working shifts / border runners or just simply hiding away in villages, who might not be in that figure quoted.

And where did you get the idea that two witnesses have signed verifying that I am living at home "for real"?
 
They want us here for the revenue brought in to this screwed up country. They've done all they can to ruin a once livable and enjoyable country. They are morons from the top down. Making tourists piss in bottles along Sukhumvit Road..shaking down tourists for dropping cigarette butts when the tourist doesn't even smoke. Take off the rose coloured glasses yourself. Yes, it's their country and I've got 17 of the mental midgets from a previous marriage now living in Australia on the pigs back..not getting shaken down, not reporting and not having to have neighbours vouch for their behavior.
Yep, Amazing Thailand.
