You can apply on the last day if you want to or need to.

Best do it a couple of weeks early incase you are short of something.

Thanks for the information. Cheers

Hi Ubon Joe .What is the latest date you can apply to renew?  My extension expires August 7 th..Can I apply for my annual extension on the 6 th ? Thanks 

Thanks for your help Sheryl. We got him some of the ones you recommended today. Cheers

Hi. I am hoping someone can help me. My friend is here from UK and has run low on his heart medication sotalol beta blocker.I have asked in a good few chemists today in Bangkok and am having no luck. Is this available in Thailand or a similar generic brand?

Thanks for any help

Thank you ubon Joe. 

When you say required copies UJ,do you mean I should photocopy an extra copy of my  completed TM8 form? 

I would rather not pay the extra 200 "admin" charge,

thanks

Good morning. 

This week I will be going to Chaeng Wattana to renew my yearly extension based on marriage /child/work permit and showing 40.000 salary. 

Has anyone been to do their extension recently and if so are their any new documents required by immigration? 

 Thanks

@ubonjoe /brittim

tks for your replies. 

did all as requested on their site. i have checked and double checked for caps & possible missed  sections. 

I have tried for a few days now. i will give it one more try now. I will let you know if it works.

tks for sending the correct form ubj. much appreciated.

tks for reply  allane.

I have just dowonloaded the tm7 form to fill in and next to the photo attached location it says 'applicant must submit the application in person' unless disabled or handicapped.

can you please confirm if this is indeed enforced.

Hi,

I am having problems with the 90 day online reporting. It keeps telling me to complete all boxes marked red. I have done it many times 

completing it correctly,but it still says the same thing. 

Has anybody else had this issue?

If I can't sort it by tonight,can my wife take my passport to ChaengWattana tomorrow and do my 90 day report on my behalf?

Or do I have to go myself?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

thanks ubon joe and elviajero. Appreciated

thanks crisinth. I obtained a reentry permit so I assumed my status remained the same ( ie . 90 day report same date) your reply makes sense though. Appreciate your advice.

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has done a 90 day online report from outside of Thailand.

I am guessing it should be ok,but maybe immigration notice your ip address is not located within Thailand when logging into their site and would tbis matter if they do?

I will be away in Europe until my final report date is due, so was hoping to report from there before I land back in Thailand.

Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Ubon Joe has been an invaluable source of information regarding all visa matters for myself personally.

A big thank you for all his help and quick responses over the past few years.

Hi Ubonjoe

Does Chaengwattana ask for the TM30? I have my landlords tabien baan and id card,but he hasnt got a tm30 . 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ubonjoe

I am currently on a non o marriage with a work permit.

I will be going to apply for an extension this month. I would like to get my extension based on being a parent ( no need to keep 400.000 in bank for 2 months) not on marriage.

Will my work permit still be valid with non o extension as a parent ,rather than non o matriage? 

Thanks 

Thanks ubon joe

I have 2 previous extenstions of stay (2 years) I then had to go out of  country and renew my non o ( admin error)

So now i am re applying again for extension of stay.

I have the extension stamps in my passport and Im sure they have a record of it too.

My extension of stay before was permitted without a home visit ( maybe based on my wp and non o marriage cert?)

Do you think they will still  need to do home visit if I have 2 previous extensions of stay?( although they were given without a home visit previously)

Thanks

Hi

I will be applying for extension of stay based on non o married to a thai/ thai child and also having a work permit.

I will be applying at chaeng watttana with my wife and daughter attending with me.

Will the immigration still do a home visit if  I attend with family at chaeng wattana?

If so,do I need to be at home when they come? 

Thanks 

hi ubonjoe

will the phu nam ron border crossing be open tomorrow,if immigration at chaeng wattana is closed?

thanks

Thanks for your help Ubon Joe. Appreciated as always !

thanks ubonjoe.

my condo manager said they don't register every long term resident who stays at the condo with immigration as per the tm30 request.

can i get the management to fill out a tm30 and take it with me? will they ask why it wasn't submitted before ? 

she did say they have police who come around every few months and check about the residents who are staying there(all professionals) does this equate to notifying immigration about foreign residents? 

i read on the website the landlord/company  can notify immigration or their local police.

i don't wish to get my condo management into any trouble with immigration,as i have read they can be fined.

do you think it could cause any issues for my condo ?

thanks

Hi 

I will shortly be applying for my extension of stay based on non  o marriage and work permit.

My condo is a company registered business,not a private landlord. They have many condos rented out

to foreigners.They cannot provide a private  id card copy of landlord, as requested by immigration.

I could get a copy of the condo mangers Thai id card if needed,but not from condo complex owners.

They said they will provide me with my rental contract,a headed letter  with official stamp from the company confirming i have lived

here with my wife for many years ,plus the tax id number  of the company.

Is this enough for immigration ?

Thanks

Thank you both for the helpful information.

Much appreciated!

thank you for both for your replies.

hi ubonjoe,you say 450 for transport.

Is this for them to ferry your passport across the border to myanmar side and then bring back to me,whilst i wait in no mans land?

500 baht for  the border pass. Is this the same as a myanmar visa or do i need to obtain a myanmar visa for this crossing?

950 baht sounds really cheap for all costs(excluding transport to/from bkk)

 hi elviajero . how long approximately would it take to drive from bangkok?

thanks 

Thanks for your prompt reply Ubonjoe

I will leave from Bangkok for the visa run.

Is Baen Laem an easy place to get to  by car from Bangkok?

Or should i take a bus? I don't really want to go with a visa run company.

How about Bhan Pu Nham Ron(near kanchanaburi)? That is nearer to Bangkok

.Do they allow  90 day extensions?

Has anybody been these borders by car? 

Thanks.
