Up here they print out the form and ripoff the the receipt with no bar code.

A5 is about the same size as the receipt portion.

Same at Amnat Charoen

Liverpool Consulate will issue a single entry Non O Imm based on being 50 years old, but asked for a bank statement which must show at least £8,000. (400,000 baht).

I booked one way, only tourist or exempt visas require an onward flight.

Is this the notice your referring to Joe.

The tax threshold is somewhere above 10,000 baht per month. So if your rental fee is less than that then you are fine Just ask an accountant what the threshhold is

I don't think the rental will be that much

The threshold is 20,000 baht per month according to my tax office.

My only Thai income is from the interest on my Deposit Account which gets taxed. I claim it back every January.

As long as your rental agreement doesn't forbid sub letting to share, then you certainly don't have to declare it for tax, unless your sharing a Palace and charge your tenant over 20,000 baht a month.

Any income under 20,000 baht your wasting the tax offices resources even completing a tax form. They're not interested.

a related question, since my wife and I are already legally married in Chicago, can I ignore the past divorce requirements?

If you were legally married in Chicago, then your marriage is valid in Thailand.

You can't legally marry again in Thailand but you could do the local village ceremony bit.

You can apply for a 30 day extension of the 30 day visa exempt entry you will get on arrival at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht.

If you don't get the extension you will need to a pay fine for 2 day of overstay that will be 1000 baht plus there is a risk of being caught with an overstay before you grt to the airport.

Ubonjoe: How does the mix of money in the saving account marry up with monthly income. For example marriage to Thai requiring 400 K in the bank or 40K a month income. Now for example if I had only 200K in the bank how much monthly income would I have to show? 20K ? Not sure it works this way but will subscribe to your learned information and advice. Thanks

You can't mix income and savings for a Marriage extension.

It's either 400K in a Thai bank OR 40K per month income.

You can only use a combination of income and savings for the retirement extension

@Vogele 123.

Mentioning your old expired Thai licence might cause problems.

Just take your UK Licence to avoid having to take the full test (IDP not required).

A Tabian Ban is better than a Certificate of Residence for proof of address.

Because you have a new address hopefully they won't link you to the old expired Thai Licence.

I don't know if your UK licence covered you for motorcycles. If not, bluff and tell them you have a 750CC Honda in the UK.

You should only have to do the basic tests as detailed by Jip99, Post #14.

Quote: I'm on a non-o one year extension that ends on June 15th., while my next 90 day report is due on May 17th.

You can get your extension up to 30 days before it's expiry without losing any days.

Your next extension would be valid from 16th June even though you applied for it on 17th May.

May 17th is a Sunday by the way, but you can go on the 18th (14 days before or 7 days after for 90 day report)

They misplaced your report..................but to save face 'they sent it on 21st' but can't give you the tracking number

Moved to the motoring forum.

I have looked carefully on the face page for TV and I see no "Motoring Forum". Where are the other forums that are frequently referred to from various post to the main forum?

Main page with listings of all the Forums.

Your local Post Office should be able to help if you can remember the date you sent it.

They record all EMS postings on a separate daily sheet.

Failing that, you'll have to attend in person and pay the fine.

Don't rely on contact details given on Immigration websites.

Amnat Charoen still have their old address displayed and they moved over 2 years ago.

Interesting reading.

A letter confirming the mothers consent to take the children to the UK seems obvious.........however, looking back I had 4 children, single parent, divorced.

I had sole custody but I used to take the kids everywhere, Europe, Jamaica, Cuba with just our passports, all the same surname and I never once got stopped

or queried about custody either when booking or boarding.

The youngest were 5 & 3. Good job they never asked as I never thought to take proof.

The rule is proof of identity and proof of address.

The Thais use their ID card and Tabian Ban.

Farangs use their passport...............then make it hard for themselves because they can't be bothered getting a Tabian Ban.

The next best thing is a certificate of residence, which many are charged for when they should be free.

Tabian bans are supplied free of charge.

I had a not-so-common common cold last month that lasted three weeks. No fever, just ordinary cold symptoms; cough, congestion, sneezing, etc., which lasted about two weeks, and coughing lasted three. Several of my friends had the very same. One went to the doctor at Loi Kraw who prescribed antibiotics, but he didn't get well any faster than the rest of us. All of us... three weeks!

Yep............thats the one..................

Same, same..............went around Roi Et last month.

That was followed by a nasty tummy bug. 5 days cemented to the toilet.

Thais and farangs have suffered both and medication didn't make recovery any quicker than those who didn't take medication.

Just got to let it take it's course.

The 'seller' shouldn't have to produce proof of address as they already went through the process to 'buy' the vehicle and their address is recorded in the vehicles documentation. The DLA may request proof you are still at that address though.

The 'buyer' will have to provide proof of address for the records to be changed and that can be shown in a number of different ways;

1. Work permit.

2. Affirmation letter from Embassy.

3. Certificate of residence from Immigration.

4. Certificate of residence from local Police Station.

5. Tabian Ban (House book)

A work permit is OK so long as you work. Certificates of residence have a validity of 30 days and need to be replaced every time you need to show proof of address again for the umpteenth time.

The permanent answer is to get your own Tabian Ban (House book) which never expires.

When I have any need to conduct any business with a government department, I find a copy of my passport and Tabian Ban are all that is required as proof of identity and address. Buying/selling a vehicle, tax, driving licence, Immigration............the list goes on.

No more bothering my landlord for copies of their ID card and Tabian Ban, no more running around to get proof of residence and no more expenditure, save the cost of a couple of copies from my printer in the comfort of my own home.

Geez! Some of you guys make hard work of living in Thailand.

Fresh sandwiches seem to be the up and coming snack request.

Tuna, sweetcorn and mayo.

Ham salad.

Egg and spring onion.................to mention but a few.

Serve with a few grapes and cheese rings.

Yes, they have;

Sorry we're going off topic!

As far as restoring parity to Pensions, I don't think we'll see any change within our lifetime, unless the UK and Thailand instigate bilateral agreements.

Having said that, I still believe it's unjust and we should carry on the argument for equality for all pensioners regardless of where we choose to live.

Actually if ever a party was to restore the parity to Pensions, I believe it would be a Labour government.

sorry ,where have you been ? it was the Labour party led by Tony Liar that faught tooth and nail up to the court of human rights to block pension increases for us and ensured there that it was not our human right to get them ,and honestly if anyone thinks that now when things are so tight ,that you are going to get parity ,then you will believe that there really are fairys at the bottom of your garden .

There are far to many "immegrants to Britain" and far to many good causes in places like India that need the govts money far more than us,

It was the 'fairies' that told me...................bet you don't believe in Santa Claus either.

i got one question i make 60 days extension in september and i was living in cm and now i living in chiang dao and i need to go next month for another 60 days extension , will be ok i give copy of the new adress? or i need to do something before

That depends on the Immigration office you attend and how strict they are with applying the rules and laws.

They may want a TM28 and TM30 completing, then again maybe not.

Go prepared with a copy of the house owners Tabian Ban and ID card (signed by the homeowner with their tele number), just in case.

There is no need to report your address.

There are requirements in the immigration act to report within 24 hours but immigration does not enforce it.

You should be ashamed of this post.

As a global moderator, you are herein advocating deliberately breaking the law.

By your own statement, there is provision in the Immigration Act for people who fail to comply with the law.

You are telling people to break the law.

Shame on you.

Joe didn't say 'don't do it' he said there is 'no need to' which is his opinion and his experience.

I only reported a change of address when I moved to a new permanent address, so that when I did my next extension the address on their database would coincide with the proof of address I was supplying.

I see 'no need to' report other than in those circumstances.

Joe, I think you've read residency as resident, that was not my intention.

Yes someone with PR status does not have to report as a permanent resident of Thailand, as opposed to someone on an extension for example but has a permanent residency in Thailand (as in their home / place of stay) and does have to report to Immigration.

I read it as you wrote it. Permanent residency is the term used for staying here for infinity without needing to do extensions and etc. Anybody else is on a temporary stay.

You can be considered a resident here if you stay here long term by being on a temporary stay here.

Immigration does not enforce the 24 hour address reporting because it would not be practical to even try to do it in this day and age. They realize things are much different here than when the immigration act was written 36 years ago.

Conceded...........I'll use the term permanent address in future.
