When I used to do it in Bangkok (Chaeng Wattana) some years ago, it seemed you could do it as early as 45 days ahead of expiry. Not sure if that's still the case. I know each office has its own variations. This year in Samui 30 days would work for me but it would cause difficulty if much less than that.

Thanks but as I said, it's not convenient for me to go all the way up there (plus will cost taxis both ways) just to get forms in advance. Was hoping somebody might somehow have them. Or that maybe there's a way to convert the one-sided pdf to two-sided for printing but I don't see how on my computer. If not I guess I'll just head to the office early the day I apply and fill them out manually there.

Does anyone have a pdf or good printable version of the Samui Immigration office's own double-sided application Form TM7 (extension of stay) and TM8 (multiple re-entry)? I know they tend to reject the single-sided version available from the main government website, and I'm staying far from the Samui office so it's inconvenient for me to go a day early just to pick up those forms.

Obtaining an international driving permit in Thailand
TerraplaneGuy replied to Klonko's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The province of Ontario now has a law that limits use of foreign licenses to 90 days from last entry into Canada. If staying longer you need an IDP which makes no sense, I think, but that’s the law. -
Obtaining an international driving permit in Thailand
TerraplaneGuy replied to Klonko's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Thanks. The whole thing seems odd because from what I read, the point of an International Driving Permit is to provide an English translation for non-English language licences. Since Thai licences already have both Thai and English, what is the purpose? -
Obtaining an international driving permit in Thailand
TerraplaneGuy replied to Klonko's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Thanks didn't see your comment until now. That's all good except that the International DP is for 1 year only. What a silly limit. So you have to go back every year, and it might expire while you're still travelling abroad. Do you know if you can get the International DP at the Dept.. of Land Transport in Koh Samui? -
Obtaining an international driving permit in Thailand
TerraplaneGuy replied to Klonko's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
I'm planning to apply for one of these permits at DLT in Bangkok. I see the list of required documents, and I wonder: - does "5 years Thai driving licence" mean there are still 5 years left before the licence expires? If so it's a problem for me since mine expires in a little over one year. - one of the required documents is "work permit" - but I don't have one, I'm here on a retirement visa/extension. Is that a problem? - is there an expiry date on the international permit when they issue it? -
Hi all I’m on a retirement extension of a Non-Imm OA visa. Thinking of moving to Krabi (been in Samui for a couple years). Does anyone have a list of the current requirements for this kind of extension at Krabi Immigration?

Thanks but what’s your authority for answer #1? The translation you linked says flatly that foreign income brought into Thailand must be included in assessable income. No exceptions for DTAs. If they’d intended such an exception they should have said “subject to any DTA …” or words to that effect. Also, I’ve never seen a DTA that says foreign income is or is not assessable in Thailand depending on when it is brought into Thailand. That is an internal Thai question that wouldn’t make sense to be in a treaty because the foreign government couldn’t know if or when the income was moved and therefore the foreign tax treatment couldn’t turn on such an event. It looks to me like the big change here is foreign income is included even if brought into Thailand more than a year after receipt (whereas up to now such “delayed” income has not been required to be included).
