My wife has just informed me that the female 'boss' at Phetchaburi spitefully told her to go back to Hua Hin.

What a bunch of w*****s.

Can I do this?

Thank you.

Cheers Ubonjoe

They were very rude, and would not be questioned on their knowledge. The uniform gave them superpowers.

They were not confused mate, just bloody arrogant.

It started at 9 am this morning. Hua Hin immigration refused to grant me an extra 60 days on my 90-day allowance on my non-immigrant O.
 

reason:

paperwork all correct but I lived nearer to the Phetchaburi office. Which I do, but is it really necessary to make us go to the other office.

I smiled and begrudgingly we made our way to the Phetchaburi office. We walked in and smiled. Asked the officer to extend my visa. He started by asking why I was not leaving the country? This was then followed by a thorough examination of all the paperwork. He wanted my wife's original Tabien Baan, not a photocopy. Still smiling I said that I would go and fetch it, and was there anything else in addition that he needed? at this point, he got the knock, started laughing at us, and the female staff came to join in. In addition to all the other paperwork we had prepared/ photocopied and had checked at HH immigration, the list as follows was DEMANDED for a 60-day extension on my 90 days multi-entry O visa:

Medical for me

Proof of seasoned funds

My landlady's/ wife's originalTabien Baan

A certification from our Amphur in Bangkok to confirm the original marriage certificate was indeed original

All other paperwork and receipt from our marriage as they would not accept the lady sitting next to me was my wife

One last point to note is that I provided all these documents my Non-o would be cancelled after 60 days extension and I would need to obtain a new one. 

yes, they spoke good enough English and understood the request.

I was initially very patient, and polite, infact, I surprisingly remained fairly polite.

I'm losing the will to live in Thailand. Think I'll take my money somewhere it is appreciated.

Good afternoon

Please, can anybody advise me if the new immigration office will extend my 90-day multi-entry non-O on marriage, for another 60 days with the relevant documents, and my wife?  Also, I've just read that it's open until 10 pm. Is this correct? 

Cheers guys.

Thanks for the warning, what day of the week did you go?

Submitted the paperwork on Thursday. 

I have just returned and there were no problems at all for this visa. No financials needed. 

A word of warning tho......Get there early as it was packed...Well over 100 people.

The person behind me when collecting had ticket no. 119 and i'm sure that wouldn't have been the last ticket issued!

Good luck.

Thank you...Ill check the flights there...

Sorry to hijack guys, but am I correct in understanding that if there is the equivalent of 400k in a UK bank account I can obtain a multi non O based on marriage in a different place than Savannakhet? 

It seems that the flights are expensive, and I don't fancy the 9 hour bus ride from Bangkok.....

Thank you!

Fantastic.

Thank you guys.

Good evening everybody

Please can anybody kindly offer me their opinion. My multi entry non-o visa finishes soon and cannot be renewed as wife no longer available.

I understand that there are no hard and fast rules but would I be pushing my luck to gain 3 single entry tourist visas back to back from Laos and Penang, ultimately extending the first two at immigration to carry me through until September?

Thank you.

Thank you, that is an option also.

Great...Thank you guys!

Have a good Sunday

Fantastic...Thank you Eclipse.

Please can you advise me on the documents needed...or just turn up with my passport?

Good morning all.

I have to leave Thailand every 90 days on my non O multi based on marriage. I am due to fly back to the UK a couple of weeks after the present 90 day period. Can I go to immigration prior and extend my stay to 110 days on this entry before renewing my yearly multi entry non O based on marriage?

Also I have had 2 yearly multi entry visas issued from London to visit my wife. I will be applying for my third non O in October. Is there any limit on the amount of visas that can be given provided I meet the requirements?

Thanks for your time reading

Cheers.....Thank you for your time...that is great

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been covered before but I want to be 100% ish. sure...lol!

My 1 year multi O from marriage expires mid October 2016. I leave the kingdom every 90 days....Just want to be sure that if I re-enter a few days before the expiry of the current visa that I will be granted another 90 day stay, meaning that all is good until mid January 2017?

Thank you .

Thank you.. good advice.

I think most of us from the mess of the UK agree that it's finished. I gave UK immigration thousands for my Thai wife's visas, over the years, only for her to be reduced to tears by Indians and Eastern Europeans every time she entered UK without me. I had built a very good business but didn't to spend any more of my life in that hole supporting the weightless economy. I would describe Great Britain, as a new fight everyday. Sure it's not perfect here in Thailand but we are both smiling and have a much improved standard of living. We are not on the run and have burned no bridges.....if UK ever looks like a better option we will return.....Can't see that ever happening though!

good luck everyone....

Thanks nzexpat for your reply.

Getting my head around the process slowly!

I was under the impression that I needed 400k in my Thai bank account 2 months prior.

If my multi non o expires mid November I thought that I could only have upto 15 months on that visa meaning mid Feb max.

Please correct me when I'm wrong!

Hi everyone, thank you for all the valuable advice!

My 1 years non O on marriage will expire in mid November. My original plan was to go to Laos for a few days over Christmas, after my last visa run entry early October, but now I'm thinking that it may be a bad idea at that time of year. My plan B is to renew in October, again in Laos. I will make sure the funds are seasoned for a couple months prior.

Can I gain a new multi entry non O a month before my old one expires?

How long would I need in Savannakhet for a multi entry O?

Cheers

All the best

We have another money grabber somtam... Thanks for your reply....Seems to be one at every corner!

Cheers.... That's what I told her... When I could get a word in.....tax , duty, thailand rules, import rules.... Obviously after a bonus from her boss ... Told her it's not of any value and I'll return it to the UK if she was going to be silly... Thanks for your reply ?

Cheers OB

Thank you for your time.... ?

Thanks guys, Simpsons... Yes SIMPSONS wouldn't let me ship in my wife's name... They have been a nightmare ...Now their Thai agent has us by the b****

Future lesson learnt... You get what you pay for!

Already a little tired of the recurring pattern..sigh...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section....

My possessions from the UK are finally arriving after a nightmare with a well known removals company ( useless *******). We are now being told by the local agent there is duty and tax to pay (her commission obviously).

They wanted my wife's passport and now mine...(800 baht for motorcycle collection in BKK).. I'm on a non O visa through marriage. There is only half a container of small personal items/ pictures, one chest of draws, a surfboard/ wakeboard, 2 bicycles, a printer, a surround system and a cctv system, and my wife's clothes from UK (she was only on tourist visas so 6 months at a time)

I was under the impression that we were allowed one shipment within 6 months of arrival duty free of 'used' items... Which these all are. There is only one of each except the bicycles.

Can anybody advise as my 'current' wife has the IQ of a 3 year old when somebody tells her it's official revenue/ business and she should comply....please help before we visit the local Amphur again .. Lol!

Thank you?
