Extending 'permission to stay' at Kap Cheong

Now I know we are digressing but I was with Kasikorn before switching to Bangkok Bank. Lets just say that many years ago I fell out with Kasikorn over the transfer of some money from the UK and, in a fit of pique, I switched to Bangkok Bank the same day. Also, Kasikorn Bank, Surin was unable to process an application for a mortgage and insisted that we travel to and apply at their Head Office in Bangkok. In contrast, Bangkok Bank, Surin accepted and processed the application locally and, I might say, granted us a mortgage for our first house in Surin. Therefore, I am more than happy with the service provided by this bank.

Back to the point in question, I do not really need internet banking as I pay all my bills in cash. Apart from the once a year requirement for bank statements for Immigration, I am well aware of my bank balance every time I update my bank book or use the ATM machine. However, now that Immigration require these documents on a yearly basis, only introduced a year ago, I may well try again to open an internet account. Thanks Colin.

Yup, he sure has. In Nomad's prior posts 284 and 302 there was no clue as to his extension based on retirement being made by pension statements. My incorrect assumption that he had THB 800,000 seasoned for 90 days.

I know my memory is buggered but even I remember Nomad's previous (not this thread) explanation of the facts upon which his extension of stay is based.

B.L.T.s - isn't that a Mercan thing? I have been making bacon and tomato (pronounced tomato) sandwiches for probably 40 years and I have generally only used tinned tomatoes because there is more juice. I've only recently been adding lettuce (green oak or rocket) occasionally. In fact, since realising that Tops sell bags full of green stuff, I've been adding it to many things.
 
Thanks Yorky, I did indeed say I will extend my permission to stay based on retirement using a Letter of Income from the British Embassy. It was post #2 to this thread and reproduced below for those not capable of finding such a long lost post.

"I will extend my permission to stay based on retirement" at the beginning of December 2015. My next 90-day report is due on 2nd December and the expiry of my current permission to stay based on retirement expires on 30th December. Last time I did my 90 day report the IO said I could extend my permission to stay the same time I next did my 90 day report. I note that the permission to stay will start from the expiry date of the previous permission to stay and not from the time I do my 90-day report.

In addition to the TM 47 (90 day report) and passport I will take with me:

1. SWMBO to sign the TM 30 and any other forms that are presented to her.

1a. Wife/girlfriend to take copies of her ID card and Tabien Baan.

2. Signed (on each page) bank statement for the previous 12 months.

3. Signed and embossed letter from the Briitish Embassy confirming my annual income is in excess of 800K per year.

4. Signed photocopies of the relevent pages from my passport.

5. Signed photocopy of arrival card.

6. Recent 6 x 4 cm photos of self (mug shot).

7. Signed copy of the Yellow Tabien Baan

8. Signed map of home address.

(Originals plus 1 complete set of photocopies and 2 mug shots.)

I think that will do the job nicely. Have I missed anything?"

Well fook me silly,Mr Willy.
I guess I should have remembered your 5 November post...if I ever read it at all.

Alas I definitely surmised incorrectly.
Nomad , I forgot that some of the members are OAP's pulling a pension.
No worries as one day I might get there myself...with or without doctors , lawyers or guns.

Yorky, just because it is green doesn't mean you have to smoke it. Lettuce is actually good for you if it doesn't kill you. That's the L between the B and T...I don't know if it's a "Merican" thing ('thang').
:rolleyes:

That would be in the "good old days" then...... :mask::mask::mask:
 
Reading about all this drama with the KCC, it sounds like an unbelievable fairy story to those of us who just potter down to Jomtien Soi 5 and emerge with the requested visas.

I lodged my papers at Immigration on Tuesday of this week to get my permission to stay extended for another year. About 2 hours ago my wife received a call to say they were calling in to do a house visit, all of 10 minutes notice. Would she please contact the Pui Yai Baan and one other person who could vouch for her husband (me). She explained that she had never seen the Pui Yai Baan, didn't know who he was and more importantly didn't know how to contact him. He, or maybe she, lived in a different part of our village that was a couple of kilometers distance across the paddy fields. Okay, can you find a couple of people you know with housebooks and ID cards they said. "If you had given me a little more notice," she replied, "I may have had time to find someone. As it is nearly everyone around here are employed by the Government; teachers, policemen, officer of the law courts and whatever and all of them are at work." In the end, and after several fruitless phone calls, she tracked down someone who has known me/us for quite a while and I found someone else by getting on the motorbike and scouting around the sois to see who was at home. The 3 men were pleasant enough, photos were taken and the paperwork photocopied and processed quickly. All done and dusted within the hour. What purpose does this serve? Your guess is as good as mine.

Yes Bill and Ivor, one has to ask why are we Surinites the favoured ones?

"Accountability"................ something from 'the good old days'....................."It wasn't me, Sir"....... "Yes it was - you signed this...."

Actually, neither my wife nor myself signed anything today. So I say again, what purpose do these house visits serve and why only in the Province of Surin?
 
The only purpose they serve is to give the immi officers something to do. There are far to many of them, and if their bosses cannot show they are fully employed they will lose them, have less responsibility and receive less salary. Thats my view anyway.

I believed that I mentioned before - my wife was told by the Puyai Baan (she) that the IOs came directly to her with a list of farangs that they wished to "interview". I think it may be an idea Nomad to make yourself known to the Puyai Baan in case of future visits.

All provinces covered by KCI

I am almost 100% certain that your wife would have signed something at some point in the process....... mine referred to it as a "sort of guarantee of you"....
 
It is hard to believe that this "Under Consideration" cr@p would be inflicted on the same families annually. Surely, they will tick you off as genuine once they have visited and go after the people they should be going after.

Have we heard of anyone who "failed" their visit or, worse, "failed" their visa extension after the dust has settled?

Nice, quick visit anyway, Nomad. They didn't leave you in suspension for long.

That would be logical.
