December. 

Are they needed now?

I do not know what happens in practice - This is the notice outside the TM.30 both at CW 8 weeks ago.

Is this the House registration page that is required? 

(Obviously this is not what actually will look like since has been translated to English)

The last time I went to CW all they wanted was the form, passport and my lease.

 

Have we reports then that you need all the other stuff at CW?

Mnnn - OK - That sounds encouraging - How long ago was this Nyezhov?

I am going to UK and will return in a few months and on extension (retirement). I will return back to the exact same address in BKK rented condo, which is not owned by me.

I know that I need to do a TM.30 Report when I return (Bangkok - CW).

As I understand I will not need the house owner / Master to accompany me to do this.

As I understand I will just need the following:

1. TM 30 Form

2. Copy of ID card - House master

3. Copy - House registration - The house number page - from House master (page)

4. My Rental Agreement

5. Copy of passport

   1. Photo page

   2. Arrival stamp

   3. TM.6 Departure card

However since I will be requesting item 3 from one of the receptionists and they are highly likely to require guidance - I also want to know that I can qualify a little more on what is given to me- Is this found in the house book or it found on Land office sale doc / Land Title deed?

I can confirm that after a lot of false starts and using Microsoft explorer for me at least application online to immigration can be initiated.

Clicking on the url on the email sent - User name and passport will be sent by email

Thanks for that

Wait on - I tried the url in Chrome - and the google translate takes over to convert to English

For nationality the options are not that clear - Since I'm from UK - The choices could be Britain, England, Great Britain, United Kingdom - Can not seem to find any of these after translation - Anyone got the answer?

Ahh great news - Thanks

You are the possessor

Great - So i can use the online system then - Good news - Thanks

You are also legally the possessor and the occupier.

 

Ohhh - Right - I obviously misunderstood your reply - So as a person that rents a condo I do not own - I am the possessor - And therefore  I can use the online systems to report my TM.30.

And just to be clear when I leave to go back to UK in a few weeks time and return in a few months  if I get my password in time I can use the online system rather than visiting immigration to report TM.30 that I am at the same address - Is this correct?

I think your understanding of "occupier" and "possessor" is somehow off.

Please explain your living situation. At what kind of place do you stay, who is the owner of the place where you stay and in which way were you given permission to stay there?

Ok - You are probably right - I live in a condo in Bangkok together with 70 other residents and I have a 6 month contract to pay rent monthly.

The ios app probably also doesn't have an option for "occupier" in this drop down, because occupier is never mentioned in any official document.

What is your legal situation in this property? Are you really just occupying it, but not possessing it?

Yup - That is probably true, unfortunately since I'm not an IOS user I had no way of testing this. My legal position is occupier.

Occupier is poor wording for it. Possessor has the same meaning and the two are one in the same.

You can register as a possessor.

 

Ahhh OK - Got it - Thanks UbonJoe

Thanks UbonJoe - Just to be clear since it does show as an option (on the description of the app) for IOS - But as you show there is is no actual option when using  the online (browser) from the screen capture that you have provided - Then there is no option for an occupier to use ANY online system (yet) - Is this correct?

Is there an online TM30 reporting for occupiers only, rather than owners.

If I look here at the IOS app it says that the app is for "Owner or occupant of a dwelling place" - is this really true?

https://apps.apple.com/th/app/section38/id1451853492?l=th

Since if I look on the Android app  - It makes no such claim

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=th.go.immigration.section38&hl=en_US

And if I look at the browser version url - It tells me nothing at all about who can use this service for TM30 reporting.

The Business visa for Laos - I am assuming you are either setting up a new company or providing some specialised skills. Is there any way around this for retirees not wishing to do either?

I think that is what he did but incorrectly wrote IM officer instead of consular officer since he mentioned the London embassy in the title.

Yup - Quite right UbonJoe - I was wrong in stating IM officer - below is the copy and paste from actual email, which was:

Kind Regards,

Visa Officer

So where was this immigration officer?

Working at some Embassy or Consulate?

London Embassy

I just got an email back from an IM officer to my question: When will Medical insurance be required for applications for O-A visa.

Answer back:

Dear Sir/Madam,

WE DO NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL INSURANCE. May I please know which website show about medical insurance.

I sent them a link back to the source (National Newspaper)  - Still awaiting a response...

I heard no updates for the announced O-A visa health insurance.

Like others said it's planned for July implementation so maybe we will hear something about it shortly.

So far i know they are still struggling on how they can check the foreign health insurance for correctness.

 

Possibly the radio silence is a good thing - or just a bigger surprise when it occurs.

Are you saying that the O-A can be done on-line?  If so, that brings up two questions.   One how are the various proofs submitted and could that also mean that the process could be started on-line even before returning to the UK?

You have to scan in the originals and attach them to your online application - Then send passport and originals (or certified copies) in the post and get back in post (Ten GBP extra) or book appointment with the online diary and appointments section face to face to submit passport.

You  will need to have your criminal record certificate - sent to you in Thailand, but is listed as a possible option when you apply online at https://www.acro.police.uk/police_certificates.aspx 

Just now, jacko45k said:

As of today no requirement for Insurance. It was rumoured for July implementation. Are you aware that UK Visa applications have just changed to on-line?

Will you have a Re-Entry permit for the current extension?

Yup - I have enrolled for the online service and can see that as you move through the application process and there is no insurance mentioned. I will get a re-entry permit and use this for back up if for any reason O-A is not successful. Hopefully directing the IO on the way back into Thailand which option to use from the two available.
