You must be privileged. Is that the TM77 form. Application of temporary visa renewal in Thailand.

If you read my earlier post that quoted a Thai Embassy site. "Foreigners entering Thailand by any means under the Visa Exemption scheme are required at the port of entry to have proof of planned travel (confirmed air, train, bus, or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 60 days of the arrival date". https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/exemp-visa I'll repeat, what is the point of the above outward tickets, if refused entry you're stuck airside and can use them. The airlines will be aware of that, so is it really to cover an airline backside. In that case scenario, who would be responsible for arranging a flight out from the same airport. The airline who just brought you, or yourself?

That's the point I was making. Same airline, same departure point as arrival. Couple of years ago, a friend entering VE purchased an onward ticket from DMK to Phnom Penh At check in, Emirates UK, they checked his outbound ticket but refused boarding with that outbound ticket. The check in counter asked him "As we land at Suvarnabhumi airport, if refused entry, how would you travel to depart DMK"? He had to book another outbound ticket from SUV to Phnom Penh. According to Emirates, if refused entry they would have been responsible for taking him back to his point of departure as the outbound ticket was unusable, fake or genuine.

So where do you draw the line before you complain, or do you just support and condone the scam and corruption. May IO's already charging for a COR, now 90 day in person reports, what next 1,000 BHT service fee for an extension?

He meant send it by mail, recorded delivery with a self-addressed prepaid return envelope.

If they accept mail in, reports suggest not all IO's accept that method.

It's already been established though that these onward flight tickets are 'fake', not an actual booking. What use is an onward flight, bus, train or boat ticket if you're refused entry anyway, unless the flight is genuine and booked from the same destination as the arrival. Exactly how does it cover an airline backside, as they would still be responsible to return you to your point of departure.

And if we all pay 100 BHT, how long before they charge 200, 300 BHT, such is their greed. You can't stop the rot once it's started. Prevention is always better than cure. It is the principle of the matter.

Many have reported being rejected online. 4 of my previous 6 online reports have been rejected. Same details entered each time.

20+ years ago when I still worked, the most holiday time I could take en bloc was 3 weeks, and I always had a return ticket within 21 days. The Thai Embassies state; Foreigners entering Thailand by any means under the Visa Exemption scheme are required at the port of entry to have proof of planned travel (confirmed air, train, bus, or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 60 days of the arrival date. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/exemp-visa What is the purpose of having an onward ticket. To show an intent not to overstay, or an alternative means to depart if refused entry?

Not lucky at all. If you were staying 270 days a year using VE + extensions, a 90 day report was never required. That's why you never had an issue.

That is not what I said at all. Exactly the same as you posted a screenshot of.

Surely not. Certain airlines will only accept online payment using a credit card, not a debit card. Roojai Insurance, for example, state online payments by credit/debit card, but when entering a debit card number the system won't process it. When you contact customer services, you are informed the payment system only accepts credit cards, but they can manually process debit card payments.

Debit and Card number sequences are different. Some systems will accept debit/credit cards, others that specifically want a credit card, will not accept a debit card.

Which is not the same as 6 months at any bank.

Debit card?

Not that I'll ever use them, but just comparing both. Onward ticket issues the ticket within seconds for $16. Onward flight issues within 12 hours, or 4 hours for an additional $5.50 to the standard $7 charge. Note, onward flights only accepts PayPal and Credit cards for payment.

Onward ticket, now $16.

It would also be enlightening to know which IO issued the Non O + extension, and whether that is also his local office. If not, unless the agent is completing his 90 day reports as part of the deal, then the OP won't be able to file 90-day reports at his local IO, unless his first files a new TM30.

I'm going purely based on the OP's statement that his 1 year extension is valid until 13th August 2025. The date of approval is irrelevant, it's the date his current extension started that is relevant, and that must be from 13th Aug 2024 if it's valid until 13th Aug 2025. Therefore, provided any future bank statement is dated prior to or from 13th Aug 2024, it will provide evidence of the 800K being in the account for 3 months after the extension started. Sounds as though the agent circumvented the requirement for the 800K funds to be deposited for 2 months prior to issuing the extension. I've seen all sorts of dates when agents are involved, such as both the Non O and 1 year extension approved and issued the same day, so it would have been simpler to give a definite answer had the OP posted his stamps as you requested.

If indeed his permission of stay is valid until13th Aug 2025, then the 1 ear extension must have started 13th Aug 2024, otherwise it wouldn't be 12 months. Any permission of stay prior to those dates was the Non O. Even if the OP applied next year on 12th Aug 2025, a 12-month bank statement would include the 3-month period after the extension start date of 13th Aug 2024.

All FTD accounts are instantly accessible, that's why they are accepted by Immigration. It's the term that you fix, not the funds. You still have access to funds at any time, but incur a penalty for early withdrawal before the term end, usually a loss of accrued interest.

If you have permission of stay until 13th Aug 2025, then when you intend to submit your next extension application, just request a 12 month bank statement.

Yes. Up to 6 months at any bank.
