if he is being paid for activities he is performing IN thailand, he is working in thailand. There is no way he is sacrificing his salary while he is away.
to get a translation of my marriage certificate into thai for the purpose of getting an extension in thailand, my consulate requires that I get it certified by a notary, then take it to the society of notaries for authentication, then take it to the recognized translation service, then take it to the consulate for legalization. all this to authenticate a certificate which they were happy to accept uncertified and unauthenticated in order to grant me the visa in the first place!! lol
i know that but immigration requires that i have my marriage license translated and certified by m,y consulate . and they wont certify it without a notarized certificate of authentecity.
cant get an extension of stay without notarized translation of marriage certificate and that is a hassle. Besides, the distance for me to drive to get a 1900 baht extension is the same as the drive to cambodia to get a 1500 baht cambodian visa to do a border hop.
