    Non Immigrant Visa (over 60 days) from the UK - e-visa stupid question / cannot get past it

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

     my simple take on your issue is to come in on a tourist 30 day, extend it for another 30 days, then you have the grace period of 7 days in both instances, ie. apply for 30 day extension 1 at say 34 days then get your extension. show up at airport for departure and there should be no issue.

    1, There is no tourist 30 day.. it is visa exempt

     

    2, There is NO grace period for extensions ( thats for 90 day reporting)

    How do extensions fit into this? Why do they offer extensions/what is the point of an extension if it doesnt extend your period of entry?  I have 60 days per entry i extend by 30, but, that 30 eats into the days permitted in the tourist visa? Doesnt make sense to me. In that case it doesnt extend anything.Why didnt they bring it up the previous times at immigration including the border? Thanks

    A multi entry tourist visa is not designed for people who want to live in Thailand continuously. It is designed for tourists who want use Thailand as their base whilst travelling around SE Asia or even beyond.

     

    Possible itinerary could be week in Thailand ,few days in Cambodia then return to Thailand for a while then off to Singapore for some days . back to Thailand  then on to ....you get the picture.

     

    It works great for that.

    Sorry missed important details.

     

    More details on extentions confirmed/stamped via immigration BKK.

     

    General point on Evisa. It was a triple entry with the same layout as every other tourist visa i have had from Thailand and other countries. That is, the expiry noted on the visa comes after the granted date. IT is stating the persiod before which you must inititate the visa not when the visa ends. How could immigration know this when  extensions of the 60 day periods could be excercised?

     

    The visa is multiple entry, triple entry. 60 days per entry not including option to extend, giving 90 days. Extensions were granted both times thus far with immigrationin BKK viewing my tourist visa which is seperate, i.e. not printed in PP. This entry would be my final entry. Final 60 days with option to extend. As i see it:

     

    I landed nov = 1st entry

     

    Nov to Jan = 1st 60 days + extension 30 days from JAn to feb =1 period of stay

     

    I leave reenter in FEb = 2nd entry. Stamped as such.

     

    Feb to Apr = 2nd 60 days + extension 30 days Apr to May =2nd period of stay.

     

    I leave then re-enter(so i thought) in MAy for final 60 day period with option to extend. Not happening now.

     

    If confusin please ask. Thanks

    Your understanding is incorrect. You had a multiple  entry visa with each entry of UP TO 60 days. As many entries as you liked BUT the last one must have been taken before 12 May. As already pointed out if you had made an entry on 11 May then you would have been granted 60 days ,which could have been extended by a further 30 days.

     

    Why you were not offered visa exempt I do not know, did you actually ask for visa exempt when visa entry was rightfully refused?

    Possible attitude/body language did not go down well.

    Is it a 'scam' or is it a family member has just ordered something for delivery to her shop and has not told anyone ?

     

    According to the package who ordered it.? 

     

    Suggest you hide the USB fan away and wait for someone to ask 'anything come for me yet'

    Also make family members order on their personal account only.

    Anyone bought a "refurbished" phone from Lazada?

    It's a Vivo Y21 not a Vivo Y21? I knew it was fake, you can't buy the real deal for that price.  Fake is OK, as long as it serves it's purpose. It's a minefield on Lazada unless you buy from the official store.

    You still don't see it ??

     

    Your link advertises a VIV0 . The '0' is a number zero. Not a capital O. Why do business that is just set up to cheat you?

     

    No wonder you get so many problems.

    It obviously depends on the weight and possibly size of the package, but most of mine have been Bht 38, sometimes deducted, sometimes not. But then it has usually been added onto the price of the item. NOTHING IS FREE.

    Also depends where the delivery address is. For small items often see 23 Baht for Bangkok delivery but changes to 33-38 baht for,as an example, Rayong. Not complaining though.

    Cant have Jonny foreigner getting 15 days for free!

     

    I wish our foreign governments would 

    reciprocate this to Thais abroad,

    My wife would love a trip to immigration every 90 days etc,

    I think a lot of Thais would be ecstatic if foreign governments reciprocated.

     

    They would love being able to get a 30 day visa exempt entry to UK, US, Europe etc.

    BTW, the house is mine and I have the Yellow ownership documents to prove that. What needs to happen is the land that it sit on need to be put into my kids name. Then I will have control over it as a manager or caretaker. I can sell it if I want, but I will keep it. And for the one that said it will be be worthless, you have no idea what your talking about.

    1, Yellow book has nothing to do with 'ownership'

     

    2 Land in a minors name cannot be sold without a court order which is very difficult to get.

    I always part company with anyone over 75 with the advice that they not buy any green banana's.

     

    So far, no offense taken (that I know of).

    If you said that to me I would tell you that I appreciated the advice and offer you some of my own, which would be the best way to travel anywhere in Thailand is by motorcycle. (yes I'm over 75)

    When my father died, while living with us in Thailand, despite me having a power of attorney over his financial affairs, the bank 1. locked the account and 2. refused to release the balance of his accounts to me until I got a Thai court ruling releasing them from any liability for later claims, in other words I had to certify to the court that there were no possible claimant's to his estate from outside Thailand.

    In your case the bank was correct.

     

    Powers of Attorney (+ second signatures0 are automatically cancelled on the death of the principal. At the time of death the ownership of the account passes from the principal to their 'Estate' which is then controlled by the Executor.

     

    Edit to add.. Joint account status is not affected.

    An outdated post, Feb 11 2023 it was stated in the NATION 1st April 2566 BE.

    My point was that this has been threatened before, several times, the post I cited was the last that I can remember, but there were others before that.

     

    Maybe this is the time it will be implemented   but agree that it will be enforced, eventually. 

    The question then becomes... how far back do they enforce it. Tickets only issued from 1st April, tickets issued in 2023 or all tickets that they have on record for that vehicle. If the latter is the case then the fine due could far exceed the value of the car / m/cycle.

    I was 70, ten years ago.  I did not not eat well or exercise.  I weighed 100 pounds.  Today I weigh 60 pounds, exercise almost daily and have a gorgeous and supportive Thai "wife" who is 40 years my junior.  With the aid of intermittent fasting and life extension meds, I expect we will be together for another 40 years.

    If you think that you weigh 60 pounds then I suggest you change your diet as the one you are on is confusing your brain !
