Nonthaburi IO - Back from abroad - what now?
Liquorice replied to WebGuy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's not an assumption, it's an Immigration regulation. If your IO don't comply with that regulation, ask why? It's been reported Jomtien now comply with that regulation. -
Nonthaburi IO - Back from abroad - what now?
Liquorice replied to WebGuy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Why? There is no requirement to do so any more since June 2020. -
Instead of beating around the bush in various topics, wouldn't it have been easier to open a new thread, along the lines of; I'm hoping to move to Thailand later this year to be with my Thai spouse. I currently don't have 400K THB for either the Non Imm O multi entry visa from Savannahket, or applying for the 1-year extension of stay from Immigration. Residing in the UK and unable to also start transferring 40K per month income in advance due to existing financial commitments. What are my options to apply for a 1 year extension of stay based on income.
-
I replied and gave you the opportunity to apologise for misquoting any statement I made. I never stated anywhere there was an 'allowance' for providing evidence of 40K monthly overseas transfers for an extension based Thai spouse. What you post and what you mean are two entirely different entities, then.
-
My reply you've quoted was in reference to your post in the other thread. That is incorrect. You can use evidence of 12 monthly overseas transfers of 40K for your first extension application based on Thai spouse. Many plan ahead and transfer income for 12 months prior to retiring and moving to Thailand full-time to be with their Thai spouse. The fact you haven't planned ahead, or can't transfer 40K per month prior to moving to Thailand, is on you, not Immigration.

I have never made a claim or statement that you can provide evidence of less than 12 months overseas transfers of 40K THB to a Thai bank for first or subsequent extensions 1 year extensions of stay based on Thai spouse/family. Please post where I supposedly made this statement, apologise, or I'll report your post suggesting such as misinformation.

I made no such statement that allowances were available using the 'income' method for extensions of stay based on Thai spouse. https://aseannow.com/topic/1328106-marriage-visa-from-visa-exempt/#comment-18944491 The Immigration order I posted amending documentary evidence of income refers to both section 2.18 (Thai spouse) and 2.22 (retirement). Amend 138-2557 (2018 ) clause 2.18-2.22 for Thai bank income ENG.pdf

Marriage Visa from Visa Exempt
Liquorice replied to cryan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The only thing I disagreed with that you posted was this; For the first and subsequent extensions of stay based on Thai spouse, you can use the 'funds' method, or the 'income' method. Only the combination method is not acceptable for 1 year extensions based on Thai spouse. -

What! I posted Immigration orders, which you obviously haven't had time to open and read before replying. And where do you see that? -
Marriage Visa from Visa Exempt
Liquorice replied to cryan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You would be incorrect. The original requirement for a 1 year extension of stay based on Thai spouse was either; 1. 400K THB in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior to submitting the application, or, 2. Proof of income of 40K THB per month, which usually required an Embassy Income letter. 327-2557 (2014) - Criteria for extension ENG.pdf Section 2.18 When the UK, US and AU discontinued the Embassy Income letters, Thai Immigration issued an update and amendment to order 138/2557 (documents) section 2.18 (Thai spouse) and section 2.22 (retirement) allowing income to also be proved by way of monthly overseas transfers to a Thai bank account. Amend 138-2557 (2018 ) clause 2.18-2.22 for Thai bank income ENG.pdf -

Perhaps this https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/issuing-and-changing-type-of-visa/ where you can download the PDF's such as the one I posted. You can also download Laws, regulations and Immigration orders from here: -
Change from 400k to monthly depost
Liquorice replied to HarshMellow's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Maybe, she never saw Immigrations updated policy regarding funds in the bank based on retirement 😉 35-2561 (2019 (changed clause 2.22 of 327-2557 ENG.pdf -
90 day report and new passport
Liquorice replied to thaitom's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The same thing happened to me after I transferred stamps to a new passport. Rejected - the details submitted did not match. Appears they don't update the system with a new passport number until you do the 90 day in person. When I asked why they don't update the system with the new passport number when transferring stamps, I got that blank stare as if asking a stupid question. I thought it was just my IO being lazy, but obviously not just my IO. -
Residence certificate requirements?
Liquorice replied to JTXR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
My bad. Never required half the documents listed on the 'form' you posted. Yes, I know I'm lucky, thanks! -
Marriage Visa from Visa Exempt
Liquorice replied to cryan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
To apply for a 1 year permit of stay based on Thai spouse (a permit, not a visa) you must have Non Immigrant status. If you enter, or have entered Thailand visa exempt, you can extend that stay by a further 30 days + a further 60 days when married. You can apply to change your status to Non Immigrant (Non O) at your local Immigration office, rather than a Thai Embassy. VE-TV to Non O Spouse.pdf Requires 400K THB in a Thai bank account on the day of application for Non O, then for 2 months prior to applying for the 1 year permit of stay extension. -
Non Imm O application in UK
Liquorice replied to Issanraider's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Options based on retirement; 1. You could apply for the Non O from London, but would require the equivalent of 800K THB in any bank. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/retirement-visa 2. You could apply for the Tourist visa from London, https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/tourist-single-entry-visa which would grant a stay of 60 days + 30 day extension = 90 days. 3. Apply in Khon Kaen to change status to Non Immigrant (Non O) VE-TV to Non O Retirement.pdf requires at least 15 days permission of stay remaining to apply, and 800K THB in a Thai bank account on the day of submission. Grants a stay of 90 days. 4. Apply for the 1-year permit of stay after 800K seasoned in a Thai bank for 2 months. -
Residence certificate requirements?
Liquorice replied to JTXR's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Never required half the forms it states on that list. Get a yelloe house book, then you don't need a COR. -
Nonthaburi IO - Back from abroad - what now?
Liquorice replied to WebGuy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You only submit a 90 day report after staying 90 consecutive days in the Country. As already stated, the day you enter is day 1 of the 90 day count. Using @DrJack54 example, your next 90 day report would be due 22nd August 2024. You can submit online 14 days before that date, so 8th August, or in person up to 6 days after, which is 28th August. -
Chat GPT is useless and known to change original factual information. My wife, who is Thai, and more capable of you or ChatGPT of translating Thai, states it says; "Return to live in the same place under the admission period that has not yet ended". The admission period being your extension of stay. "Permitted to stay until ........."
