  1. Hijacking thread slightly but similar topic..

    Normally I am on a Non O marriage but didn't renew this time back in UK as I have another short contract beginning on 7th July. So I came in on the 30 day visa exemption, which expires on 6th July !! Is it really worth paying for a 7 day extension at 1900 baht, or just pay the 500 for a 1 day overstay ? Would it really affect any future visa applications, bearing in mind my passport is nearly full and due for renewal..

    Thanks and sorry to jump in but the Title caught my eye.

    Don't think it will effect future visa applications, but if you overstay, you will get a stamp in you passport which says that you have overstayed, and when immigration officials (for example when applying for a extension of Stay) scrutinizes your passport they will notice it and could start asking question.

    If it was me I would pay the 1900 THB for the 7 day extension, but because your passport is almost full, Up 2 You thumbsup.gif

  2. Free beer at a Carabao concert? Whenever playing near us there are always fights, stabbings or the occassional shootings. With free booze I'd imagine it could be carnage!

    Those are at outdoor concerts in the past. This will be more controlled being indoors and most likely mostly farangs because of the price of the tickets.

    I had the same thought as apetley, I used to go to the Open Air Carabao concerts in Surin (during the Surin Elephant Round) and that was always fighting etc, after that, Carabao refused to play there and instead went to perform in Tawan Daeng. So it's a good thing that they perform at the Hard Rock hotel.

  3. I prefer the Dutch Mayonaisse, its from the brand Remia and its available at Foodland. They have a nice garlic sauce as well and i believe a bottle its just 95 baht, quite cheap and very good imo

    I have seen that one in Big C Extra also !

    MJCM: Please change your picture. Every time I see one of your posts I think there is a small creature on my screen and try to squish it. hahahahha

    No way, it's good that at least a small part of your screen gets cleaned. 555555

  5. No Problem, but it's always a good idea after you finish in the internet cafe to clear the browsing history / cookies. You would be surprised how much info can be retrieved only from looking at these !

  6. Thanks George, but can I do that on an IT cafe computer? Also, where do I go to delete them ( I'm by no means a computer expert )?

    It depends which browser they have in a Internet Cafe.

    Firefox - Tools, Privacy, Show Cookies, Remove All Cookies

    Internet Explorer - Tools , Internet Options, General, Delete (under browsing history)

    I hope another member can you tell you to do this in Chrome and/or Opera

  7. Hi,

    Last year moxtravel http://www.moxtravel.com/ offered the opportunity to make a booking and give a document to show at the embassy and pay only on the condition that a visum is allowed.

    I think Any travel agent will do it for you if you ask them. Nothing special about that, its the same with the travel insurance.

  9. Question would be, which kind of Visa ?

    My friend is flying with his wife to the Netherlands. She applied for a Tourist Visa on Wednesday and received her passport with the Visa back on Tuesday the following week.

    It's always wise to apply for the visa well before you are planning to go.

    When she applies for the Visa she needs to show a (Pre-Booked) Reservation ticket for Airline (Need to show exact date when you are leaving)

    (My friends Ticket date showed that she was leaving on the 27th, and the visa was issued with from date on the 26th)

    Regarding the cost for changing date, it depends on the Airline and the Ticket class, my friends ticket is Date Change free of Charge, but that is with China Airlines. My advice would be, contact your preferred airline

    edit: // Added Info about the Visa

  10. You must apply at the office serving your location - you enter that location the the TM.7 application. And they may also request other proof to support that entry.

    Thank you. But presumably you can enter any location you want even if you are only there for a few days as there is no mention of proof being required in the official requirements. It seems that some offices may decide they want it regardless and there is no point in arguing the case. If you are retired and changing locations frequently then you have no residence to declare.

    Somo, don't forget about the 90 Day reports, which have to be made to the Office where you applied (mail in possible ??) and they may require a Proof of Address. (How are you going to deal with that, if you don't live in the region ??)

    If you are so desperate to do this, why don't you get a Multiple Entry Non-O visa outside of Thailand and you don't even have to go inside or near any of the Immigration Offices.

  11. if she comes in to Thailand with a 30 Days Visa on Arrival (VOA), this VOA can be extended 1 time only for 7 Days at a Local Immigration Office for a Fee of 1900 THB.

    If she wants to stay longer (after the 30 days are finished), she either

    1- Leave Thailand by Land to a neighboring country and get when coming back 15 days on Entry

    2- Leave Thailand and return by Air and get when coming back 30 Days on Entry

    3- Leave Thailand, Visit a Thai Consulate (Vientiane or Savannakhet (both in Laos) or somewhere else) and get a double or a single Tourist Entry.

    Order of the Royal Thai Police Headquarters

    No.777/2551

    Re: Rules and Conditions in the Consideration of Alien Applications for Temporary Stay in the Kingdom of Thailand

    2.22 In the case of a retiree: Permission will be granted for a period of not more

    than 1 year at a time.

    (1) The alien has obtained a temporary visa (NON-IM);

    (2) The applicant is 50 years of age or over;

    (3) Proof of income of not less than Baht 65,000 per month; or

    (4) Account deposit with a bank in Thailand of not less than

    800,000 Baht as shown in the bank account for the past 3 months at the filing date of the application. For the first year, the applicant should have that amount in his bank account for not less than 60 days or

    (5) Annual income plus bank account deposit totaling not less

    than Baht 800,000 as of the filing date of application

    The proof of address it doesn't hurt when applying to have a copy (or 2) with you, as they may ask if you rent or own, so a lease / chanote could also come in handy !

    That's great thank you. So it would appear I can apply at any office of my choosing.

    I am not 100% sure, better wait for one of the Moderators (Mario2008, Lopburi3 or LiteBeer) to answer this.
