Can anybody from the Dutch community in Pattaya tell me were the closest Social Security Office is to get my levensbewijsformulier from the SVB signed.

I've always had to do it in Chiang Mai but this the first time in Pattaya.

Help would be very much appreciated.

A friend of mine is looking for an electric mobility scooter to rent for about 6 to 8 weeks in Pattaya.

Any help and information were we would find businesses that rent them out would be very much appreciated.

Cheers Fred

Jack the money that I used for obtaining the non O visa i parked in a term deposit account so that's not a problem and I was thinking if it ever get back normal then I Will try to get a non O visa.

Tim is doesn't make sense to leave the country and come back to that boring quarantine and the cost are way to high.

Thanks for your replies

I was always here on a non O visa but when I got stuck in Australia last year for 9 months my visa expired so the only option was A O visa.

I will stay here indefinitely.

Thanks for help.

I'm new to this visa. I've got this visa last year in Australia and was issued on the 8 November 2020 but because of all the paperwork involved I entered the country on 8 December 2020 which according to the entry stamp is valid till 7 December 2021. My compulsory insurance is dated 15 October.

My question is when do I have to renew my visa by.

Can I ignore my compulsory insurance renewal until just before the renewal of my visa.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Fred

I am sorry to say that that information is correct.

I am not a dutch citizen any more because the dutch government does not allow dual citizenship.

I just received my Levensbewijs/ Life Certificate.

I live in Chiang Mai and I go to the Social Security Office.

Take the form and a copy of your passport with you.( to be save I also take my passport with me).

It normally takes here about 10 minutes. I get the form back and a statement that I am live.

Important, the first time I send it off to the Netherlands it got lost in the post and had not made a digital copy of it. Had to  start all over.

I rang the SVB and they told me that I was silly and should have emailed a copy to them.

Ever since I now scan the documents and if you have a DigiD account you can lodge it that way or else just go to their website and email it that way.

Thanks for all replies very much appreciated.

I think we can close the subject.

I arrived in Bangkok on 8 December and did my quarantine and after 15 days traveled on to Chiang Mai and I then lodged my TM 30 because I arrived on a different visa this time.

From Non O to Non O-A.

I would like to know when the counting of my 90 days started.

Cheers.

I had a look on the Thai Sydney embassy website and the latest document I can find still states that you need a Covid health insurance, my health insurance covers me and can provide with a statement, and you need a medical certificate.

We better wait until the end of the month and see what they come up with the new rules.

- Need to get some form of permission to exit Australia (I am Oz citizen and right now, without a good reason Oz citizens are banned from flying out), including getting a permission to exit letter from Australian government to present to check-in at Sydney airport.

 

I am also in Australia and would like to return to CM, I am on a retirement visa non O.

As you look on https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/leaving-australia it states that

Under Australian and leaving

You will not need to apply for an exemption if you are: 

• ordinarily resident in a country other than Australia

So I thought that you don't need to request an exemption because you have a resident visa which you can show at the airport.

That's why TI don't accept foreign documents.

The requirement is to provide Thai bank statements + letter, showing monthly overseas transfers to the financial requirement, either 40K, or 65K depending on your extension type.

 

TI can 'verify' with the Thai bank they issued a letter and statements to you, if required.

I don't think you understood what I've written because you state the complete opposite of what has happened to me and that's why started this discussion. They refused to renew my visa because I could not supply them with overseas documentation of where the money was coming from. The Bangkok bank letter and statements are not enough.

Hi  you can mail or phone the zvb bank  social verzekering bank 

also u can go th there site it is in all languages  

www.svb .nl    gives all the info about overseas payments and what u need also contact info tel nr might be worth trying i have every month a statment on the bank from them saying pension 

So if i understand you, the SVB will provide you with a monthly statement in English if requested. I'm still fluent in Dutch.

A lot of the IO's down there are quite different in character. I have probably been through most all of them even now some many moved up the ranks.

 

Put it at like this for the hint: Hell have no fury like a ----- Scorned. . 

Yes mate I know that. It would be interesting in about 3 months when apply for 90 day non O if they going to make my live difficult? I will make sure that I will have for 2 months 800.000 baht in the account before I apply so they won't have any excuse and that my TM 30 is okay. But for now I'm flying to Sydney on Friday getting away from this horrible air, going to Sydney for fresh air is a contradiction in terms, and for 1 month I can forget about CM immigration.

If they were really interested in "the truth" you would have received your extension with that bank-book evidence, plus more than enough "money in the bank" seasoned for the combo-method.  They seem to have another agenda.  

They did not use the so called leniency in my case.

Isn't this because the foreign transfer goes to Bangkok Bank HQ first, then to the 'local bank'. If the 'local bank' is not a BKK bank, the transfer would be coded as a local transfer?

When I set up my account with Bangkok Bank I was given the swift code for that branch and as far as I can see it is going the same day that it leaves Australia in to my bank account here.

He used a Passbook as proof of income and that does not guarantee being coded as from a foreign source because all transactions go through HQ to your local account, often showing as 'domestic' transfers.

 

He should acquire bank statements, that could have shown his transactions as 'International'.

Hi as I explained that Bangkok Bank in the letter for immigration stated that the code in passbook FTT means Foreign Telegraphic Transfer. I can't get it any clearer. I also said that I have at least 2 years of those transfers in my passbook.

I believe he wanted to know about the Immigration Official, but thanks for that!

Oh okay I miss understood but I specifically made that part gender neutral because in my opinion it is not important it was only an observation. It might not have made any difference.

Molen02... BTW, was the IO a man or woman? Young or old?

I'm a male mid sixties I can not see that that matters. I used all the available info to prepare the documents but if they made up other requirements that they don't tel you about!

I don't know if what happened with the previous guy had any bearing on the way I got treated, I just put it in as an observation.

In your shoes I would contact the Dutch embassy, if you are receiving pensions, even if you no longer have Dutch citizenship, I would have thought they would produce the income letter. Worth a call or email. 

 

I probably would have given that a try after reading some of the comments but because of the new visa rules I had to leave the renewal quit late so my visa has run out today. I'm now on a 7 day visa leaving on Friday. I still might give that a try next year but then a year is a long time in Thai immigration and who knows the rules might have changed again.

I don't think I would wait until you could apply for the 30 day extension. I would do the change of visa status long before then in case they want something you don't have.

i know as soon as I'm Sydney I will top my account and by the time I'm back it would be almost 30 days in the account.

Thanks very much for your help.

The general requirements are here. https://www.immigration.go.th/content/service_80 (click Eng at the top of the page to change from Thai) It says you need at least 15 days remaining on your entry but CM wants at least 21 days. I suggest you check with them to confirm what the want.

It think will have to check in at immigration to have them stamp the receipt for your TM30 report to update it.

I can always extent my tourist visa with another 30 days and I was going to do my normal TM30 update

I was going to that. Top the account up to 800.000 asap and come back on a 60 day tourist visa.

Do you know what is required as far as paperwork to do the first 90 day non O visa.

I'm renting a house so i assume that my TM30 would be still valid when I come back

Okay I will get a 60 day tourist visa and start all over again. Is that possible?

Joe I know. And I don't want to be nasty but the officer that helped me lost an argument with the guy that was before me, the officer was overruled on that case.
