my partner has been interviewed 2 out of the 3 times we have applied for a visa, so yes there can be interviews for UK visas.

, you don't lose a day if you apply late, the extension is still 30 days. If your exemption/Visa expires on the 9th of Feb whether you apply for the extension on the 15th Jan or the 10th of Feb (the day after expiry), your extension will still end on March 10th. Applying late just means you are fined, and your extension date doesn't become 29 days instead of 30. It is based on your entry stamps' required exit date.

You are thinking of a residency certificate, PR is an entirely different ball game and takes months sometimes it can even take years. It costs a lot more than 300฿ too.

If you are landing close to midnight you could just hang around and wait until midnight before going through immigration.

Otherwise your options are

A) paying the 500 baht fine when you leave and getting a red stamp (avoid it at all possible as it could cause you problems later)

B) getting a 60 day TRV before coming (best option)

C) extend by 30 days when here for 1900 baht

To my understanding (which could be incorrect) your rental contract must include the owners information as well as the company that is managing the property.

Check your contract for that information, if it isn't there you or your agent should speak to immigration and ask what steps you can take to rectify this situation.

The only solution may be to terminate the lease early and find somewhere that will provide this information in the contract.

could be different in different provinces but in Bangkok they just send you away to go get it. But it's hit and miss on whether they ask for it or not.

Had a friend who was asked for it, came back the next day with it and they didn't want it 🤣

@Jack ******

when telling immigration you are leaving your current job, that is the date you extension expires. So if the school gives you a letter stating the end of your contract is Jan 20th. Your extension will expire Jan 20th and you must leave the country on Jan 20th.

Some schools will allow you not to cancel the extension until your new school has all the paperwork ready and you can switch it over the same day you inform immigration of leaving that job. (Although I believe some offices do not allow this so you will also need to check with the immigration office if this is something they accommodate.)

Been with both True & AIS. From personal experience I can found AIS is much better than true in terms of speed and signal especially if you are traveling around a lot.

It depends on the office and even those who don't require it, it can come down to the IO. Best to have it just in case

It doesn't matter if anyone has or hasn't, it's pot luck and down to the IO you see when you're getting your stamp.

It's better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it.
