Maestro

Thank you for mentioning this addition to the form TM.7. For anyone interested, this is currently the link to the form on the website of the Immigration Bureau: https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/4.คำขออนุญาตเพื่ออยู่ในราชอาณาจักรเป็นการชั่วคราวต่อไป-ตม.7.pdf

@Shwaman At what immigration office is your friend making his application? Ideally, he should post himself on this forum so that he may directly respond to questions for clarification. Can you suggest that to him?

You go to your local immigration office with this application form: https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/22.Transfer-Stamp-to-New-Passport-Form.pdf Regarding the list or required documents, some immigration offices may also ask for the receipt for your latest TM.30.

I've learnt something new. The reduction of Thai Thai employees below the required minimum number does, in fact, have a direct effect on the permission to stay if the immigration office chooses to do an inspection. Thank you, @MadMuhammad and @timendres for your posts.

@Jaythekol With "we", whom do you mean in addition to yourself? What is the basis of your current permission to stay?

I don't think the termination of the Thai employees directly affects the OP's permission to stay. The question is whether the company's business registration would be cancelled, which would then void the OP's work permit and his permission to stay if that extension is based on employment with this company.

Removed the reply to an off-topic post.

@AusDieMaus This topic is about denied entry into Thailand. Your posts, and allegedly a post by anther member, are about applying for a non-O visa for the purpose of retirement at the local immigration office and are therefore off topic here. Please stop posting about it in this topic and instead start a new topic if you still need additional information or reassurance. Thank you.

Forget those Facebook hearsay stories. They are of no value.

Removed an off-topic post about criminals.

The OP's son has a Thai birth certificate. Therefore, he needs neither a search of the family history from the district office nor a lawyer.

Please search aseannow.com and/or the worlwide web for TDAC (Thailand digital arrival card)

Please see this correction the OP posted early in this topic: $6m baht translates as dollar six metres Baht. The OP does not mention what country's dollar he means but it is safe to assume that it is the United States dollar (curreny code: USD) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar?wprov=sfla1 With m, the OP obviously does not mean metre or the prefix milli, but million. There is no official symbol for million and one sees different symbols used by different people and different news publications, the most frequently used being M, which is the prefix mega. https://www.bipm.org/documents/20126/41483022/SI-Brochure-9-EN.pdf With baht, the OP clearly means Baht (currency code: THB) https://www.xe.com/symbols/

Removed an off-topic that was about departure from Thailand, whereas this topic is about arrival.

Since the member who started this topic brought it off topic himself, already with his very first post, this topic is now closed. For the record, the following are the guidelines for the Thai Language forum, stated at the top of the home page of this forum:

If your passport was not scanned and your face was a not photographed, then your "pass", ie your passing through the electronic gate, was indeed "just ignored". I doubt, though, that this was the case. I remember that on my passing, I first had to insert my passport's ID page into a scanner, or perhaps I only had to place the passport on a scanner in a specific way to get the embedded chip read, I can't quite remember it. A couple of seconds later I had to go to a camera a few steps ahead for a facial scan. The camera seemed to have a problem but after I took my spectacles off I got the green light and the gate opened.

From a recent experience I got the impression that immigration is now proactively encouraging the use of the electronic exit gates at Suvarnabhumi airport (BKK) Using the fast track, for which I qualify, on departure from BKK I walked towards the two manned immigration desks but was stopped halfway by an official and directed to the nearby electronic lane. So now, for the first time, I have no exit stamp but I know that this will be no problem when I travel to Thailand again. I meant to get the exit stamp merely for the silly reason tha I like to see them neatly lined up next to the entry stamps in my passports.

There is no universal standard rule about what airlines should do in a situation like that. There are the IATA guidelines on this subject, but airlines are free to follow them or not at their own discretion and responsibility. Most, if not all, international airlines are members of IATA.

I wonder how helpful your reply to a post made almost two years ago is to the OP. @ElephantEgo I am curious to know if you got formal clarification on the legality of the status of company B.

Below is the Google Lens translation of the title page of I.B.O. 14/2568 As usual, some numbers are not translated correctly by Google Lens using Google Translate. OCR did not work with the original Thai page.

Clause 13 of the Immigration Bureau Order (I.B.O.) 14/2568 seems to be the one for family members of a Thai family, but there is no mention of financial requirements. Is that perhaps in a separate Immigration Bureau Order? The I.B.O 14/2568 is for applying for a visa and changing the type of visa at immigration offices. Perhaps the financial requirement will be stated in a separate new order for extensions of stay, which we have yet to see.

Sadly, the PDF available for download from that link is a collection of the images of 12 scanned pages. That procedure seems standard for the Immigration Bureau. I used OCR (optical character reading) to convert to a text PDF form which text can be copied, eg for pasting into a translation app. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mhXdZFCXUs1zXghHWVjg0mzGeOlftr8F/view?usp=drive_link It will take me some time to do the Englissh translation using Google Translate and put it into a table similar to the Thai original.

It is 15 days, but better take that as 14 days because of the way some immigration offices are counting it.
