Wrong.....This guy sounds right on the money to me... Redwood1, could you please be so kind to explain me what I did write "wrong" ? I cannot understand but would like to know what is my mistake.

What did I write "wrong" ?

Since the Swiss pension, unless it is a state pension, is taxable in Thailand, I would strongly suggest you do the calculations and check if your friend has to pay anything. This is to avoid possible future problems, an official who says that the tax would be "very small" and that "other things that could be deducted are likely higher", only shows his superficiality and incompetence

It would be interesting to know how the investigations will proceed and what sanctions will be applied to a case like this, where miraculously, despite an absurd speed, there were no victims. Unless, of course, as often happens around here, this poor driver too had the usual brake failure.......

Don't get discouraged, do you remember the officer sitting in the old room at the corner desk? He once kicked me out throwing away my passport because I made a mistake on a form, without telling me what my mistake was. And the other guy in uniform who was hanging around the people in line "being funny" ? Now these things don't happen anymore, at least I hope... Next year try with the reservation, hoping that this system, which strangely almost no one uses, remains in force

This is the Immigration site : http://www.phuketimmigration.go.th/index.php And this is the page to book the appointment: https://outlook.office365.com/book/[email protected]/ The day before the appointment Immigration even sent me a reminder email.... When the guy came out to give the numbers before opening, he did not give me any number and said : just present you at your booked time !

I have not had such a bad experience as yours. I had booked the appointment at 8.30 via the web and (to my surprise......) they immediately let me go through the first check, where young, very kind and efficient guys work. Traditional trip to the photocopies for a copy of the marriage certificate and a Google map printout with the coordinates (on the copy I had presented I had written the coordinates by hand, this is not good.....) Then the second check, and finally passing in front of the officer, not so friendly but not rude either, very precise and correct. I took advantage of the opportunity to entrust them with the reentry paperwork (+700 baht for a multiple, for the service) and after less than an hour I was out. The only thing I don't like about the new system is having to wait packed in that small crowded room with air conditioning. Waiting outside under the shelter, on the benches, was certainly more pleasant. But everyone has their own personal experience, maybe next year for me it will be worse :-)-

Since I renewed the extension at Phuket Immigration today, I answer to myself: For the renewal of the extension for the dependent partner, in the case of foreign couples, photographs inside the house are not necessary but only the usual photo of the couple outside, with visible house number.

Could be a good idea, but I think he would not like to put other 800k in the bank.... How long has this non o dependent that can be requested abroad existed? I didn't know about it, and in 2021 I did without it

Does it exist now a non O dependent visa for 90 days that can be obtained abroad ? In the past, me and my wife came here with two non O retirement and at the first extension we got one extension as "retirement" and the second one as "dependent"

A friend of mine is in Thailand with annual extension based on a non O retirement visa. Now his wife has arrived from Europe with a non O retirement visa too (obtained abroad) , and they went to Phuket Immigration to ask a "dependent" extension for the wife. At Immigration they have been told that to get the "dependent" extension she should have entered the country with a non O "dependent" visa and not with a non O "retirement" Does what they told her make any sense?

How did you send this document? During the online filing I do not see the possibility to attach documents.

I have been told that in Phuket, for the annual extension based on non-O- retirement dependent for the foreign partner, in addition to the well-known picture of the happy couple at the entrance of the house, now 3 more photographs of the couple inside the house are required. Has anyone had recent experience, in Phuket, on this topic?

Go to the page with the list of the last notifications, expand the line with the name (there is a small lens symbol), at the right bottom of the new page there is the command "export".

Yes, you'll think about it next year
