  1. Ok, so I was mistakenly calling my reporting an "extension" which it is not.

    First piece of learning. Thanks.

    So my visa is good until Jan. 18, 2018 which is one year from the 90 day entry from the visa.

    I also did not know this, so thanks again.

     

    If I leave the country in a week and come back on say Jan. 4th, then my next 90 day reporting will be 3 months after returning? OR, 3 months after leaving?

  2. One piece of wrong info- I entered the country on Oct. 17 and not Oct. 14.

    Strangely enough, to me, the visa stamp says extensions permitted up until Jan. 14, 2018 

     

    So I went in on Dec. 14, 2016 (exactly one month early) to extend my visa for "retirement" and needed all the bank docs. etc., and my extension now needs to be renewed by March 13 2017.

     

    To me, that means I lose a month. No?

     

    What am I not understanding?

     

  3. I got a brand new non-O visa on Oct. 14, 2016.

     

    I did the retirement extension one month early as I am going to leave the country for a while. 

     

    My next extension was dated 3 months from the day I extended, and since I went in one month early, that seems to mean that I lost one month in the process.

     

    I thought this was NOT meant to be the case.

     

    ???

     

    Does this now mean that my visa is only good for 11 months, or?

     

    I asked the lady once I looked, and she said that is the case with the first extension of a visa.

     

    ???

  4. So, are we saying this (and some offices allow for a bank letter the day before you apply for extension)

     

    1. Passport, with photocopies of all relevant pages (main, entry stamp, old visa etc) Including the page with your picture.

    2. Bank passbook updated on the same day (or the day before- which has been ok for me) as the application, showing at least 800,000 baht for the last 3 months (two months if it is your first extension). Copy of all relevant bank book pages plus the ID page of the bank book. 

    3. A bank letter stating that the funds are in the bank 

    4. 1900 baht fee

    5. Completed TM7 form with passport photo (2 photos?). TM7 to be printed double sided.

    6. A copy of the TM6 departure card.

    7. Proof of residence including rental contract. 1. If you rent from a Thai owner,- a photocopy of their Tabian Baan (blue house book) and their Thai ID card – they may also require that the photocopies be signed by the owner.

     

    Is this the complete list?

     

     

  5. I just got a delivery from iHerb in the US.

     

    They have really great prices, the shipping charge was only a few dollars (don't remember now exactly how much) and as long as you keep your order below $100 (and a certain weight that I don't recall) and you  look to make sure that you don't ship by DHL etc. all is great.

     

    The postman wanted 7 Baht as some sort of delivery charge.

     

    GREAT value!

  6. Hmm,

    I write a 19 line post, simply to be of service to the community,

     

    And yet some people find me inconsiderate because I quote US$ and not Baht.

     

    Fascinating!

     

    And yes, I would not quote Danish crone or Indian Rupees.

     

    For me, when I read Baht I almost always calculate into US$ since that is my base currency.

     

    Anyway, no big deal, just wanted to add a bit more here.
