TV (tourist visas) are e-visas and with the exception of Laos the Thai embassies don't get your passport into their hands and therefore cannot put a stamp in it saying that next time they might not give you a new tourist visa.

Your VOID stamp means that an immigration official put a wrong stamp there and then voided it. None of the blanks have been filled in.

Removed a troll post.

Were the "other bits of paper to sign" all in Thai and you were not given a copy of them?

I made the mistake of not giving a link to the visa I referred to, ie the non-quota immigrant visa to keep the permanent permission to stay, ie the permanent residence, the immigrant status, alive . The only example I have on file is from 1983 and the text of this type of visa stamp may have changed since then. For a permanent resident, this non-quota immigrant visa, good for a specified number of return journey(s), does indeed serve the analogous service as the re-entry permit for the holder of a temporary permission to stay, ie it keeps the existing permission to stay alive. For anyone who may be wondering, the prefix "non-quota" indicates that the visa does not count against the annual quota of immigrant visas available per country. Unless this quota has been changed, it is generally 100 per country, but only 50 for small countries. I should be grateful if a permanent resident would be so kind as to post a recent non-quota immigrant visa for my album.

The application form for the type of residence certificate you need, on AseanNow commonly referred to as CoR or COR, has no form number and does not seem to be listed on the website of the Immigration Bureau. At least I can find it neither on https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=3159 nor on https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=2163 The website of the Bangkok immigration office may have the application form on it somewhere but I cannot find it. Not all immigration offices use he same form.

Indeed. It would be unreasonable for a Thai embassy or consulate to require or insist on a paid ticket at a time when the issue of the visa is still uncertain or the date of receipt of it still unknown.

Pardon me. It was @Agusts who posted that.

When required, if you own the condo in which you live, the sales contract is evidence that you are the householder (เจ้าบ้าน), aka house master or house-master, which means the person who is the chief possessor of the condo in the capacity of owner as defined in section 4 and the householder and the owner and the possessor as referred to in section 38 of the Immigration Act.

When required, the "chanote", ie the land title deed, allows the matching of the names as shown in Thai language in the land title deed and in the house registration book for the building on that plot of land.

It is the "blue book", ie the house registration book, in which the Thai lessor, ie the person from whom you are renting the dwelling, is listed.

I'd like to reply to your question, but first I need some additional information: What do you mean by "a year visa"? What do you mean by "a deposit just to get a single non-o lol"?

That's a good joke.

Would reporting the damage to the passport to the police be an option? After all, I would need a police report to apply for a new passport and to get a refund of my expenses from my travel insurance.

The fact that your immigration office quoted you 15 days to issue a COR clearly means that they don't like to do it.

@ThaiVisaCentre Thank you very much for your posts with links to the official sources. I have added a link to this topic in the pinned topic Laws, regulations, Police Orders, etc.

I was pondering this conundrum a couple of days ago when I first read this this topic. The stamp in the passport says that the permission to stay in Thailand is temporary. This means that the passport holder must have a permanent address in another country. The current system makes no allowance for the perennial tourist of yore, travelling the world with temporary stays in various countries and permanent address in none. As far as I know, The UK has no official system for giving a government-issued certificate of residence. For example, for opening a bank account a recent utility bill for electricity, gas or water will do, a bank statement for renting an apartment, etc. Now, if the OP still has a bank account in the UK, he should also still have an address in the UK, as otherwise the bank would, following current policy, have closed his account. How is that situation?

It's a clever trick to increase the number of tourist entries with the same number of tourists. To arrive at 179 days visa-exempt stay, two entries are currently needed. After the change, it will take three entries, a 50% increase.

That's really interesting. Now, you have me wondering what country's passport this is and if all passports of that country list the holder's place of residence.

That's very interesting. I always thought that there was an International standard for the display of information on the ID page of passports. My Swiss passport, for example, has an information field labelled "Authority" that indicates the location (town/city) where the passport office that issued the passport was located. Is this the place in your passport which you are mistaking for the indication of your residence?

Isn't Cloudflare something that helps to protect our forum from hackers and other baddies who mean to harm us? Every time I see a Cloudflare timeout, I think of the techies working their fingers to the bone to work things out and I applaud them silently when the forum is up and running again.

I see. Thanks.

The fee for an extension of stay is 1,900 Baht regardless whether you entered Thailand at DMK or BKK.

As the OP now has made it crystal clear that he doesn't appreciate posts that are not based on personal experience on the subject in question, ie from a woman of Lao nationality with at least one child fathered by a Thai national and cohabiting with che child's father and the child and wishing to obtain a non-immirant visa to visit the child and its father, and as no member meeting these criteria has posted so far, I am now closing this topic.
