If you're going to use English slang, get it right. It's sovs not sobs....a sov is Cockney slang for a quid (even though a sovereign used to the equivalent of 1 pound 5 pence)

You will need to leave the country to change from a Non O to a B, I've just done that with a BOI company. 

Permanent residence? Well it's a 2 year visa to work and that's it as far as I'm aware.

I have a NON O ME based on marriage.

Recently started work in BKK and tried to cancel my Non O when back in Laos for my Non B. They dont do it. So i currently have 2 valid visas in my passport.

Word of caution. When coming back in with non b check they've used it. I didn't despite writing that visa number on mycard at the border, didnt check and had to drive 520km next day round trip to correct it

Same, work for BOI...didnt need anything medically related

Didnt have any medical exam of any kind for my work permit in BKK

I thought the non o based on marriage permitted work. 

Maybe it does, but I'm working for a company in BKK on a BOI 2 year Work Permit so its much better for me, plus they don't accept my Non O

Happened to me last month at Mukdahan also. I have a Non O Marriage, went to get Non B for Work, didnt cancel my Non O at Consul despite asking them too.

Came back to Thailand, put Non B Visa number on immigration form, Immigration stamped me back in on my Non O. I too was in a hurry and the O was written like a B. Drove home to KK, looked again...had to drive back the next morning to get it corrected. Took 5 minutes, lots of apologies from them, but an additional 7 hours driving there and back. 

I always check and preach about it, so only myself to blame.

Well i have the originals so no drama. Cheers

Is an up to date KR2 needed? I have heard differing reports.
 
Are there any days considered to be quiet? 
 
Sounds like you have been before@Chudless. What day are you going?
 
 

Been a few times now. Used to be avoid Monday and Thursday/Friday. I am going Tuesday, drive early hours from KK to Mukdahan, park up and away.

I salute you mate, truly.

Your account was well written and worthy of its length. I cannot begin to comprehend what you and your daughter went through,.emotionally especially.

You are clearly a decent person and I'm glad that things basically worked out well, at least for you and your daughter, except your relationship of course. 

I wish you both the very best for the future, and if you are ever in the Khon Kaen area, PM me.... I'd gladly meet you for a pint.

Just brush them off, no biggie.

Thanks Joe, the font of all knowledge. You can close this topic if you so wish, no further info needed.

However local immigration will want the proof right?

Cheers

Do they issue one of these without proof of income as well as the multi-entry?

If so, once issued does that involve 90 day reporting to local immigration?

Thanks

Could someone advise the latest requirements please i.e. paperwork needed etc?

Is proof of 400k baht still not required?

Times for submission? Collection (next day now right)?

Cheap hotels nearby Embassy?

Safe parking at Bridge (thai side)?

Many thanks in advance

I'm 300 metres from my in laws and it works great. Never intended to, we bought a house off plan in the city but having postage stamp size land led us to pull out of the deal and build on a rai in the village. Best thing I ever done. Peace and quiet, nice people, great family, lovely big garden for the kids....never happier. It's your own choice, make your decision regardless of comments here.

False....been a rumour for a few years now. He really should consider it though, as thr local Army course is pathetic

I got my new one last week and they now insist on cutting thr corners there and then, and giving you a letter to transfer existing visa. I done that back in KK no issues.

Absolute rubbish and inaccurate about glasses....if you read it correctly you should wear glasses if a full time wearer....all my UK passports have ALWAYS had my photo with specs, just not allowed sunglasses etc. Get it right before posting crap.

9 to 3 with an appointment.

I used my thai driving license last month with translation from a proper business in KK...no issues. Thr UK side had an issue with my photos and I had to DHL more as my glasses slightly rain along my eye line. ...crazy.

Check your paperwork, recheck it then check it again...the VFS 'service' only checks thr papers match thr requirements AND DO NOT CHECK THR CONTENT!!
