My previous Retirment visa expired in May while I was outside Thailand so I went today to the Kalasin Imm. office with all my paperwork to get another Non-Imm O visa. Seems rules have changed and I also need pictures (4) of wifey and me at the house. Seems when you don't renew your Retirement visa it is cancelled (fair enough), but it's taken off the computer system as well, so the Imm guy, first of all didn't check all my previous extensions in my passport, then couldn't find any records on the computer. So I was told they would visit our house to check we live there in about a month. But, I can in on a visa-on-arrival and only 30 days of which 8 days were used up. These things usually work out, so after lots of talk Imm gave me my Non-Imm O subject to me bringing in the 4 photos tomorrow. I post this just to let people know applying for the Non-Imm O visa is not just having the B800000 in the bank and filling in the correct TM form, you also now need a house inspection and photos, so you need longer than 30 tourist visa. Lovely people in immigration Kalasin, but the staff have been moved around. The back office staff are now in the front office. Also the entrance to Imm parking is now the exit.

Is a TM87 the form to fill in when applying for a Non-Imm type O visa?

Pessimist:)

I know it's a bit late, but I came in on the 2nd June and asked for the 60 day, imm guy said not yet, what do you want, so I said 30 days. Also, I didn't need to purchase a return ticket as the airline didn't ask to show it. Also that yellow book you get after your Thai identity card came in handy at the motor transport place, paying yearly road tax and registration check. Because I just had a Tourist entry stamp they were hesitant about re-registering my car until I produced the yellow book. My O extension expired while I was away

Not sure how long you've lived in your place, but you can find your monthly usage from you electricity bills. If you are into DIY electronics, you can visit the Alternate Energy Forum or Electrical forum (can't remember which) and make your own using Crossy's design. 🙂

Thanks Upnotover . If I need photos, can I get them where I apply for the visa exempt at the airport?

I am arriving on 2nd June 2024 after other country medical proceedure. Previously I have been on Retirement Extension thru the Kalasin Imm. office, with the B800000 in the bank, but my retirement extension ran out while I was away. Previous advice on this forum was to come in on a Visa On Arrival, then convert to back to Retirement Visa. Is this advice still valid? Do I need photos for the Visa On Arrival and can I get them where I fill in the Visa On Arrival? Thank you.

I think True sat dish would point at a True satellite (simple explanation). You won't get reception unless you have a True box. Probably the simplest way would be to re-subscribe to True and upgrade your subscription to what you want.

Also try on the Pattaya Forum. There's a big company (Nong Nuk Gardens) on the outskirts of Pattaya that may be able to help you.

There was a vet in Naglua who did our dog. Sorry, don't remember name.

You could probably find a variable (manually adjustable) power supply in the Yarrawat region (near China town in Bangkok), as long as the current supply is enough. Be Warned: once you start exploring this area you won't want to stop. 🙂

I think the humming is the contractor rapidly switching between on and off, so it appears to be humming. Crossy will know more, but if you have under and over protection on your mains incoming, it can be a pain when the trip points you set are correct, but the incoming voltage falls outside these limits. You could have the 3 phase mains come into 3 stabilisers (one for each phase). Then when an incoming phase voltage drops, the stabilisers corrects this so you still have 220V output. You could then just install over/under voltage protection on say your swimming pool motor feed. 🙂

Before you replace it did you try and adjust the trip voltage? I've had to adjust mine (that orange box).

Do you know if they fix car seats too?

As it's a bit close to departure time for flight back to Thailand I decided to go the visa on arrival route. See how it goes. Thanks everyone for comments.

Thai language skills really helps, but you can get around with not that much difficulty if you don't have Thai language skills. The closer you travel to the Thai boarders the more you need Thai or Lao. 🙂

Upnotover said: 'non-O single e-visa was granted in 4 days.' I think I will try for this also. If the e-visa takes longer, I can always do the visa on arrival I hope. Thanks again Upnotover. 🙂

Thanks Upnotover. Sorry for my ignorance, but is this the visa where you need to have the medical insurance as well? If it is I don't want that visa as I self insure in Thailand and have full private insurance outside Thailand, so anything major I use my private insurance outside Thailand.

I use Kalasin immigration office.

Ok thanks again DrJack54 will look up the website. 🙂

My 0 visa retirement extension ran out while I was away. I have had the B800000 in the bank forever. I'm a bit worried about this return airticket I have to purchase then cancel before I fly. How does this work exactly?

Returning on the 2nd June 2024. I received advice from this forum on how to do it, but would just like to check to see the information I was given is still current. Thanks.
