No, because his passport has about 18 months validity, he will just recieve the normal 1 year extension.

Yes, because your last extension would have only been dated to the expiry date of your last passport

Show me where it asks for proof of retirement? Because I can show you where it asks for proof of being over 50 Just because the word retirement is bandied around, does not change the fact that that is NOT a requirement

Oh yes it is based on being over 50, and only on being over 50 - NOTHING to do with retirement! as you yourself stated!

While I concur that the story is doubtful, his extensions are based on being over 50, not retirement

Oh yes they do! Documents from Foreign Employee: Original passport and copies of Non-immigrant visa page, latest entry page, and biodata page Copies of work experience certificates from previous employers Copies of educational certificates or degrees Recently issued medical certificate Three 3×4 cm photos taken no more than 6 months Other relevant certificates and licenses

Seeing as the fine for a 2 day overstay is 1000, them fining you 2000 hardly seems "official".

Use it for what ?

But he does say "Please let me know the time period Chiang Mai Immigration needs to extend my non immigrant O visa", which is incorrect as visas are not extended, only permissions of stay are. So maybe not full marks after all

Anyone can do your 90 day report for you, so nothing "bent" about an agent doing it for you Seeing as the Elite team in Bkk will do members' 90 day reports, are they "bent" agents?

It most certainly is NOT naturalization, it would be legitimization either via the family court, or depending on the age of the child it can be done at the local amphur

No, you OR the landlord - not both

Why not? They did before. " An alien entering the Kingdom before October 21, 1998 and has been consecutively permitted to stay in the Kingdom for retirement shall be subject to the following criteria : (a) Must be 60 years of age or over and have an annual fixed income with a deposit maintained in a bank account for the past three months of no less than 200,000 baht or have a monthly income of no less than 20,000 baht. (b) If less than 60 years of age but not less than 55 years of age, an alien must have an annual fixed income with a deposit maintained in a bank account for the past three months of no less than 500,000 baht or have a monthly income of no less than 50,000 baht." https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?p=14714

Just to clarify, you are only allowed two visa exempt entries per calendar year if you enter by land or sea, NOT if you fly in

It will be because of the "to cover expenses for one year" that defines the need for instant access. https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?p=14714

You have to be able to access the money instantly, even if that means losing interest, so I am guessing that is what your account allows

That is why the money must be in an instant access account, the officer was totally correct in denying the extension

Nope " Four Objectives of Thailand 4.0 1. Economic Prosperity: to create a value-based economy that is driven by innovation, technology and creativity.

EVERYTHING to do with the visa, the visa determines the length of stay

Do you honestly know how WRONG you are? Of course a VISA allows you to stay for a set amount of time, and of course you can overstay that permitted time. The only "dimwit" is you and your totally wrong information!

Your "humble opinion" is wrong and also proven wrong in the current labour laws

Can you show me where it officialy says that? I can not seem to find it on the Immigration website.

There is no insurance requirement for a Non-O

Thanks ???? I refer you to your first word - because that is what you are ???? There is no 30 day extension for a Non-O (I am well aware of the 60 day extension).

There is no 30 day extension on a single entry Non-O
