I have asked my wife to submit a new TM30 last week, was there next to her. After it was submitted, nothing was received by email, nothing on website to download at all apart from blank MS Excel file. What gives?

Yes that, I went to main immigration website printed the form and filled it in, was told to fill new one when I got there because they had stamp on the top saying Phayao immigration. That was the only difference

I am curious about TM30. Last time they asked me but I said I don’t have it so they printed it out. My wife did that maybe a year ago or so online. However now we login and in that website there is nothing to print at all. I am confused

Greetings everyone, I just wanted to ask what the list of documents are needed for retirement visa extension. My dad's visa is going to expire next month so we want to go and extend, the immigration here where I am is not particularly friendly for asking questions especially if they are busy. Has anything changed from last year? I know that probably can depend on different IM office. This is the ones I remember last time: Passport copies all relevant pages signed Statement from last visa extension to the day of renewal and a bank letter all issues on the same day of the extension. Photos 90 days report Now about rental agreement, my dad lives with me and my wife and of course we won't charge him rent that would be stupid, so he doesn't have one. So last time they asked me and I tried to explain we do not have it. What did work (kind of) was my wife's ID card signed by her and blue book in her name. Some document they gave me last time that needs signing that acknowledges rules and regulations. Visa application form. TM 30 I think (but they can print it out usually) I think that was it last time, but I am not sure. Google AI says map of where the house is though I do not remember that being asked. Am I missing anything? Thank you for the info.

Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice. We had a few trees in the garden for 5 years; we planted when we moved in. We had 5 cocoa trees; at some point they started to have this white stuff on them almost looks like mold or something. Even on actual fruits, someone told my wife that it was a fungal infection, and we had to them down, which was not great as they took time to grow. Now my wife said we have to cut down mango tree, we planted it when we moved in. Now I want to have an opinion on this before I cut it down. I took some photos to show how it looks like. If anyone can tell me is there a way to save the tree and treat it, we have zero experience of gardening unfortunately, but I am looking to learn. I appreciate any advice.

I will go there tomorrow to get a list of documents that are needed, just in case anything has changed.

After we comeback from border bounce, we got this stamp a month after we applied. I assume as you said this is non-O visa for 3 months. Then next step would be to ger that extended for 1 year. We got this stamp on 2nd January, the 800k has been there since September already.

Thank you DrJack, I assume I can go and extend before that date, because money has been in the bank way before we even bounced in Chiang Kong. Last time they said for the first extension as we originally did before we lost that visa, for one day only statement. But heck I will do 3 because they always nitpicking on things. About other documents I am not sure, I need to go there and actually ask them, I guess. I am hoping that the new regulation about tax for income from abroad is not in play here or at least for the first extension. Don't know who would think to tax a state pension, which was already a tax at some point, but let's see. Thank you again for your help, I appreciate that.

Thank you, so I assume all documents that are needed are the same as for Retirement visa extension, right? Wonder, why did she say I will tell you later. I believe for the first extension of retirement visa; the statement doesn't have to be for a whole year, right?

Hi everyone, a few months ago I posted that we were not able to extend my dad's retirement visa because we touched the money after extension. So, we were able to do a border bounce at Chiang Kong and comeback with visa exemption stamp. Having collected all the documents as if I was extending retirement visa, we went to Phayao immigration. After all the checks they stamped something and asked to comeback in a month, we did, and we got another stamp which I posted here the photo. Only this one is until March 15 now, I am a bit puzzled why it is not a year. The staff was as usual not friendly or helpful. She said this is not a visa yet, but it seems like it is. 1.. I asked does my dad need to do 90 days, she said NO. 2. Most important question I asked, what documents do I need to bring next time, she said I will tell you later. Can someone please explain what is that stamp and how is it going to work next time? What documents will we need next time? Very puzzled, I really want to start doing it soon as next month I am planning to go travel. Thank you for your help.

why is it so random? I just talked to a friend I didn’t see in a while, he did this a month ago and was asked nothing on the way back except for what is the reason for coming to which he replied crossing. For rental contract what if he lives with me and my wife in the same house? also for 10k would passbook will be enough?

I need to check on that, he holds Lithuanian passport and I think there is a visa on arrival, at least there was.

I think flying out if not only a tad more complicated but also more expensive especially during this time of the year. The plan was to get this exemption stamp and convert it to retirement visa again and be careful with money next time. I won't be able to fly with him to help him, if the border is crossed my wife could help with that. Also isn't flying out and then flying in going to give you a tourist visa on arrival? Can that be converted to retirement?

Greetings, so as I and quite a few people have said was not able to get visa extended for my dad (because of touching the money in 3 months). Alright, so I wanted to ask a few questions as I have very limited time to actually do this border crossing. As far as I know there are 2 border crossings in Chiang Rai (that are not too far away from me), we stay in Phayao. There is a crossing in Chiang Saen - by boat (think 150 baht) if not mistaken. There is a crossing in Chiang Kong - by bridge if not mistaken. So, the questions I have: 1, How long does a person need to stay there before coming back for a stamp? (First it was straight away, then recently my friend said it is 1 day in Chiang Saen), someone here says it is 2 days in Chiang Kong. Can someone clarify how many days a person has to stay in Chiang Saen and Chiang Kong especially if it is different. I am busy with work, so it is difficult to find time, but I am trying my best. I am hoping that one night is still possible in at least one of these places, some say can ask the border crossing staff (maybe). 2. Are they open 7 days a week? I was planning to go on Friday and if it one night then comeback on Saturday, is it going to be possible to cross on weekend and get a stamp? If there are 2 days that would be Sunday. 3. Lastly, what kind of things are around there in terms of hotels, restaurants, convenience stores, not important for me but for my dad yes. I really appreciate your input and any help, this place has been really helpful.

I really hope something can be done, but if not then I guess it is what it is. I will need to look up all the Laos rules I guess, since I haven't been there in a while, if visa is needed or not.
