I rarely update my Savings account passbook as I use an FTD account for Immigration purposes. An ATM update will consolidate transactions since the last update, coded CMB in the book (Bangkok bank) In branch, they can print all transactions over that same period of time.

Is that a Fixed term account or a Savings account. A FTD account will only have two entries to update, any added interest and the balance. Savings account could have multiple deposit and withdrawal transactions. I'm also with BBL and can assure you if you haven't updated the passbook for a period of time and only have availability of 3/4 lines for printing on that page entered into the ATM, it will consolidate those transactions bringing the balance up to date. If you manually flip the page and re-enter in the ATM, it will spit the book out, as it's already up-to-date.

Which bank and have you tried it? In my experiences, the ATM is unaware you wish all transactions printed and will therefore consolidate transactions with the given space on the page.

A visa cannot be extended. You apply to extend your permission of stay, a permit, not a visa. If you use an ATM to update your passbook, it cannot automatically turn pages, so will consolidate transactions given the space available. If you go in the branch to the counter, they can update listing all your previous transactions.

It's a Non Imm O visa, which is often wrongly stated as a 'Marriage visa'. When using the incorrect, non-specific, terminology 'marriage visa', it could mean a single entry Non Imm O visa, a multiple entry Non Imm O visa, or even a 1 year extension of stay. It can then take several posts to establish exactly which is being referred to as a 'marriage visa'. The same applies to 'retirement visa' > no such visa type. Extensions of stay are 'permits', not visas.

Applications for both the Non O visa and 1 year extensions of stay have to be approved by the regional Immigration offices, not your local office. The first visit in each case is to submit the application. The second visit is to get the visa/extension stamp in your passport once your application has been approved. For the Non O application, the processing time can be 2-3 weeks. For the 1 year extension application, the processing time can be up to 30 days or more. If the time taken to process and approve your application goes beyond your permission of stay date, Immigration will place an 'under consideration' stamp in your passport, which basically means you cannot overstay whilst your application is being processed. Correct. Once the 400K has been season for 2 months, you can then apply directly for the 1 year extension of temporary permission of stay.

If you intend to stay long term, then you will apply for 1 year extensions of your permission of stay. To apply for these long term extensions, you must first obtain a Non Imm O visa You may apply for the Non O visa from the USA in order to enter Thailand and will be granted permission of stay for 90 days. To apply to extend that 90 days permission of stay for a further 365 days, you must have a Thai bank account in your sole name, with 400K THB deposited for 2 months. Alternatively, you could enter Thailand visa exempt and apply for the Non O at Thai Immigration, but this would require 2 visits and have to be approved at regional level. To visit Thai family in Thailand. The term 'marriage visa' is commonly used, but incorrect and misleading. You apply for the Non Imm O visa based on having a Thai spouse (Thai family)

Pensions are classed as a benefit, not an income. The UK has a double taxation treaty with Thailand. Relax, don't worry about anything.

Posted above your last post.

From Police order 327/2557. 4. In case where an applying alien does not meet the full qualification stipulated by the criteria herein, the alien must be notified of the non-permission order and must depart from the Kingdom within seven days from the date on which the permitted period has lapsed. 5. In the case where an alien applicant does not meet the full qualifications stipulated by the criteria herein or in other cases not specified in this Order but a competent officer equivalent to or higher than inspector is of the opinion that the alien has legitimate reason for staying in the Kingdom of Thailand, the application shall be forwarded to the Commander of the Royal Thai Police or an authorized competent officer for further consideration of the alien's application. How many agent applications where the applicant didn't meet the financial criteria do you know of where the application was forwarded for consideration by an authorized, competent official above the rank of Inspector. > Answer none > money talks.

He did, but when/if he travels afield, he could find other agents few and far between.

How so, because an agent can circumvent the requirements by offering a personal fee over and above the required 1,900 BHT fee.

Cons. Quite often, the agent will obtain an extension from a different Province than where you actually reside, meaning he will also have to submit your 90-day reports. Want to purchase a vehicle or obtain a Thai driving licence, the agent can assist with obtaining a COR, although it will state the 'bogus' address used to obtain the extension from a different Province. Of course, after an agent obtains an extension from a different Province, you could file a new TM30 for your actual residence and complete the 90-day reports yourself and obtain a COR with your actual address. You'd just need to do this every year, after each extension was immorally obtained. If considering using an agent, to avoid further issues down the line, the first question would be to find out if the extension would actually be issued by the IO in your Province of residence.

The only change announced was to reduce the Health Insurance requirement from the current 3M BHT, to 400K inpatient, 40K outpatient between Sept - Dec 2024.

It's not a visa, it's a permit allowing permission of a temporary stay in Thailand for 12 months.

I'm wondering if this is just a change, submitting online at CW https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/90days-report/ As online 90 day reports are always dated from the date of approval and not the due date, then effectively your next report could be due after only 83 days or even sooner. There is no mention of a change on the other general Immigration website. https://www.immigration.go.th/#serviceonline As I'm within the 15-day window to submit (due 6th Oct), I contacted my IO yesterday who knew of no changes and confirmed they are still accepting and approving 90 day online reports up to and including the due date.

I think you had extensions of stay for 9 years, not Non 0 visas.

One can't have a permanent home in Thailand when you only have temporary permission of stay. Hence, the question by @DrJack54

Google is your friend. Fees, charges and exchange rates for using your Revolut card abroad Now, how much will it cost you to use your Revolut card abroad? Here are the key costs and charges you need to know about: Transaction Fee Currency exchange - Monday to Friday Free⁵ Currency exchange - weekends 1%⁵ ATM withdrawals up to limit (£200 to £2,000 a month, depending on plan) 2%⁶ Spending more than your plan’s exchange limit a month in foreign currency 1% for Standard plans; 0.5% for Plus plans; Free for Premium or Metal plans⁵ One of the most important charges to pay attention to from the above is the 1% fee for currency exchange at weekends. Revolut doesn’t charge fees for spending or withdrawing in a foreign currency during the week, but this fee could make it more expensive to spend at weekends. Which unfortunately, is when many people like to take mini breaks to foreign cities. Revolut exchange rates Revolut uses their own Revolut exchange rate which they set themselves.⁷ It can differ from the mid-market exchange rate, also known as interbank rate, which can be considered as the most up-to-date rate you can get, but are only used by a handful of money services providers, including Wise. If the exchange rate used isn’t the mid-market rate or an interbank rate, you may find that it includes a margin or a mark-up to the mid-market rate. This is how some banks and service providers make a profit, but it means you essentially lose money on the transaction. International spending and cash withdrawal limits with Revolut To help you choose a Revolut plan and watch out for extra fees when spending abroad, here are the main limits you need to know about:⁶ Plans ATM withdrawal limit Foreign currency spending limit Standard - free £200/mo or 5 withdrawals £1,000/mo Plus - £3.99/mo £200/mo or 5 withdrawals £3,000mo Premium - £7.99/mo £400/mo Unlimited Metal - £14.99/mo £800/mo Unlimited Ultra - $45/mo £2,000/mo Unlimited

Which bank?

Which bank, what Country? Who pays for FedEx or UPS services? My UK bank will send to my registered UK address, but not to my Thai address.

No, fact according to the OP. Read the opening post > 3 years ago ....................

As in a person's attitude or action. If you lose or damage that foreign debit card, you have a problem.

I quite understand tourists using their foreign debit cards to withdraw funds at a Thai ATM, but it's foolish and irresponsible for long stayers to use that method for funding their lifestyle in Thailand. Whilst Immigration never check, I believe for those using Embassy Income letters, they make the wrongful 'assumption' the applicants are transferring income to a Thai bank account. Just like they 'assumed' the Embassies were 'verifying' pension incomes.

The requirement is either' 1. 400K in a Thai bank for 2 months. OR, 2. 12 x 40K monthly transfers to a Thai bank, OR. 3. An Embassy Income letter.
