So you don't think it would be a problem if I applied for an extension based on retirement in the future?

I quit my job in December and left the country.  My Visa expired on January 8th.  I am now back in the country briefly on a visa exempt entry. 

I have had a devil of a time figuring out what I am suppose to do to make sure everything is cancelled that is suppose to be cancelled.  Somebody told me that I need to get a letter from my former employer and bring it to immigration.  This seems ridiculous as the Visa has been cancelled by my departure and is ALSO now expired.  Is this necessary???

Do I need to do anything formal at the Labour Department? 

The HR person where I used to work is completely incompetent, so please do not tell me to talk to her about it!  She has no idea. 

Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to show Work Permit for Driving License application instead of a Certificate of Residence?  Anybody have RECENT experience with this in Chiang Mai? 

Thanks in advance!

Okay, thanks very much for this clarification. I really appreciate it. Cheers!

Perhaps the word "extension" is misleading. I have a 3 month Non B visa that I received in Penang already. My employer has told me that we can go to immigration in Chiang Mai and change (for lack of a better word) the 3 month Non B visa into a One Year Non-B Visa.

Has anybody had experience doing this, and if so was there a particular form required?

Does anybody know if there is a particular form that needs to be filled out in order to do this?

Thank you!

Anybody?

Anybody done this recently? I am heading out next weekend and I just wanted to make sure it was still possible to do this at the airport. Assuming I need the TM8 form filled in, the usual passport copies and one photo???

Can anyone tell me how much time from the date of issue of your Tourist Visa do you typically have to enter Thailand? For example, if I get a Tourist Visa on Jan 26th, what is your best guesstimate as to when I must enter Thailand by?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Kitsune!

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a Non-immigrant B visa in Bali? I cannot find any website for the consulate there...

Hello Khun Vongbali,

I cannot find a webpage for the Thai Consulate Bali. I am wondering if it is possible to get a non-immigrant B Visa at your office in Bali?

Thanks in advance!

This is the phone number for the Consular section of the Thai Embassy Tokyo. You can call between 3:30-5:30pm

03-5789-2449 ext.463/469.

Does anyone know where is the authorized repair place for JBL speakers in Chiang Mai, or anyplace that might repair them?

Thank you!

And I should be able to do that at Mai Sai?

I am a UK national with a 60 day Tourist Visa that I extended for another 30 days. I want to stay in Thailand for another 3 weeks after my extension is over. Can I do a Visa run from Chiang Mai to Mai Sai and get another 30 day Visa Exemption? Or do I have to fly out and fly back in?

Thanks for your help.

thank you!

Do you think it is reasonable to believe that I can do a border run and get another 30 days? Or go to Malaysia for a couple of weeks and apply for a single entry Tourist Visa?

I have a three month, Non-Immigrant O Visa (for the purpose of volunteering), what are my possibilities for extending? Is it possible to get a one month extension by going to immigration? If so what documents do I need to show? Are there any other options?

Thanks for your help in advance!

It looks like the propane gas place near Chiang Mai gate has closed. Does anyone know of another one in the area (old city or just south of old city) to get gas tanks filled for stove? Thanks!

I tried to apply 1 entry Tourist visa on 29.11 and it was denied instantly.

In my visa there was 2 Tourist Visas (last one from 9/2012) and 1 student visa which just expired.

I had copies of flights in and out of Thailand and copies of my bankbook showing over 20K thb and all the necessary copies of passport.

The lady behind the desk went to the backroom with all my papers and came back soon saying "sorry but the officer said that there is too many Thai visas in your passport."

Same thing happened to my friend so i was prepared for this and had a nice holiday anyways. But never will try a visa from there again.

Edit: Almost forgot, i was the only customer at the embassy.

Total bummer. Thanks for this info!

Anybody have any RECENT experience getting a Thai Tourist Visa at the Consulate in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam? Is it possible to get a double entry Tourist Visa there? How long did it take to get your Visa?

Thanks in advance!

Does anybody have a copy of the TM 7 form that they can upload? The immigration link form download is completely messed up.
