    New immigration office in Hua Hin

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Well a 3rd floor office with no access for the disabled is ridiculous.
    Who exactly picks these locations?
    Apparently the Petchaburi office is moving to Khao Yoi which makes absolutely no sense since Chaam constitutes the bulk of the foreigners with some in Petchaburi city.
    Tha Yang served both. A little far from Chaam but not bad.
    Moving the office to the extreme north of the province will mean a 3 hour round trip for a lot of people.
    It will be closer to Hua Hin's office so I guess I will do things like 90 days there.
    Never used the online reporting, how does that work now.
    Also another thread said you could do reporting after leaving the country (which Petchaburi now requires)with an app now.
    Haven't read the whole thing but, hilariously, when I clicked on the link to Google Play Store it said "not available in your country."
     
     
     

    I suspect that your Google account was set up in your home country and that is why you cannot get the app. If you change your settings you might have more success.

    Suggestions & help for preparing to move to Thailand in 1 year

    If you can speak and write Thai I would be less inclined to use a realtor or lawyer. There are plenty of small farms for sale to the Thai market, but no so much to the Farang market. Using a realtor will up the price as will using a lawyer if it is a straightforward land sale. Obviously the further inland you move in the Hua Hin area, the cheaper it gets.

    What we all know

    Right...opposite would be more logical. However, reason & logic never been Thai strong suits. 

    You cannot work whilst on a Retirement visa/extension, so the assumption is that you do not have any alternative revenue streams. Whilst on a Marriage visa/extension the assumption is that your Thai spouse can work and under certain circumstances the foreigner may be granted a work permit.

    Hua Hin Immigration - Pension Verification -( No Alternative!)

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Hi all

     

    I have just returned from doing my 90 day report in the main Immigration office. Whilst there I asked if there was any acceptable proof of income other than the letter from the UK Embassy, such as bank statements/letter from the bank. I was told in no uncertain terms that without the Embassy letter I would not be able to extend my stay based on income; that my next renewal must be based on cash in the bank.

     

    Doesn’t seem that any leeway is going to be given once the Embassy withdraws it’s service in December.

     

    For information only.

    Quality of life and costs between Samui and hua hin

    I live in Hua Hin and I find that it has virtually everything that I need. Yes, the traffic can be a pain - especially at weekends when there is an influx of Bangkokians, but you will soon learn the alternative routes. There are a few schools that offer “international” education, but you have to weigh up each on its merits - some are very Thai in their nature!!! One thing that you should consider is your location. Everything is within 20-30 minutes drive, but when it rains heavily some roads in the south of the city can flood badly. If you need any more info, just let me know.

    Hi

    NST is a relatively quiet place with few western style restaurants. There are two or three big hotels which seem to be comfortable enough, but you should just do a Google search to see the facilities that they offer. The nearest beaches are at Tha Sala and Sichon. Both are really nice and are serviced by nearby facilities. Weather should be good for the most part and the sea should be good for a dip!

    If you let me know what you would like to do I will be able to make some suggestions.
