Can a re-entry permit be obtained from most local immigration offices in Thailand..... Is there a reference number for this form to help immigration understand what's required

Touch wood.....i have never had a visit from immigration, or the police. Never had any problem at immigration either, nothing that going and making another photo copy didn't cure. I have never bribed them, apart from paying 500 baht for a certificate of residency, but if you don't pay, you don't get.

Do you people steal cars, or rob banks or something?

A lot of people seem to get refused for this, and refused for that, because of missing paperwork, or worse, just having the wrong attitude. Think ahead, get what they want BEFORE going there, and be hassle free. cheers.

I stay at my girlfriends apartment she rents..... What is the certificate of residency and us that something I should get.... I visit on tourist visas staying for 3 month periods but will be getting a non O visa this year

So my 60 day single entry tourist visa is still valid until the original departure date. Can I on my return extend that original tourist date is it 30 days?... If I got married to a Thai during my 60 day stay could I apply for an extension on my original single entry tourist visa and how long would an extension be

If entering Thailand on a 60 day single entry tourist visa if I flew out of Thailand after 20 days can I get a re-entry permit to enter 2 weeks later and still be able to use the remaining 40 days on my tourist visa. Or is the re-entry visa only for use with non immigrant visas?

It makes a nice refreshing change to read a nice positive story here....... So much negativity normally I hope we will start to get more positive stories about life in Thailand

This is where getting tough or completely stopping visa runners has my vote. These guys stay here simply by skimming cards. My card was skimmed last year, I contacted the bank and money was back in my account along with a new card within 48 hours. Never found out if they ever caught the person/people responsible.

what rote toon do Thai banks offer clients who find money has been taken from their accounts by scimmers?.. Western banks will refund you the money stolen but I am not sure what Thai banks do in this case.

Just looked on Siam Legal site who state the following....

If you are not in the country when the report is due, the counting of 90-day period before your next reporting will start again after upon re-entry to Thailand.

OK that answers that so basically I only need to report every 90 days while I am in Thailand

But as previously stated I intend travelling in and out of Thailand 3 times a year, Siam Legal state on this basis I will need a METV.... But they then go onto to say I could get a re-entry visa. Can anyone please explain how that would work for my travel needs ..

Re-entry Permit

If you plan to travel in and out of Thailand during the year of your visa validity, you will need a multiple re-entry permit to do so and to avoid your visa from getting cancelled. Otherwise, you need not apply if you plan to stay in Thailand the whole time.

In case you find the need to leave the country for whatever reason, you can apply for a re-entry permit at the nearest Immigration Office or at the international airport before leaving the country.

Just read on a visa site that if I get a marriage visa I need to ...After obtaining the Marriage Visa, the holder needs to notify at the nearest Immigration office every 90 days.

Is this correct? The reason being is that I intend to get married but will be travelling backwards and forwards to Thailand and some times I will be away from Thailand for more than the 90 days reporting span. What are my best options? A possibility is the retirement visa as I can match the requirements for that but I am not sure of the reporting span for that is it again 90 days?

In the middle of April I am planning a short one week honeymoon with my Thai wife but would like some thoughts from the forum as to which local country from Bangkok they would recommend. We both like visiting places of architectural interest, places of historic interest, places of natural beauty, and of course the malls or street markets.

Thank you both for your time in giving me some sound advice.... The requirement of 65k baht monthly income is that before or after tax

I am needing some advice what are my best options regarding visas to stay in Thailand for 4 months. I plan to arrive in Thailand mid March and after 26 days get married in Bangkok and then fly out to Cambodia for one weeks honeymoon. Then return back to Thailand where I want to stay a further 3 months before leaving Thailand.... And will return back to Thailand about one month later... Stay a further 3-4 months leave Thailand for one month and return again for 3-4 months and repeat this cycle for about one year. I am over 50 yrs old and have sufficient finances to meet the retirement visa requirements, but at this time I am reluctant to put a large sum of money into a Thai bank but have a sufficient monthly income to meet the requirements. Any constructive advice as to least hassle options would be appreciated.

Seems to me many bad Thai drivers are fast runners so why don't they ever do well in Olympic running events... ?

In the history of this forum have any government officials responded to any threads here?.... I would welcome Jaturong Kaewkasi, the chief policy adviser for the PLTO to visit here and answer some of the points raised on this thread..... But one can only dream

In my travelling experience in Asia too high a proportion of minivan drivers carrying passengers drive recklessly..... But in Japan they were very proficient and professional can't comment on Singapore or Malaysia .... But certainly in the Philippines and Indonesia they are crazy!

Highly unusual,it's normally a gun.

He has probably loaned his gun to his friends who recently arrived from Syria

Good news to see another moron removed from society..... I hope his Thai wife/ gf does not get away without any implications in the activities of Bagnato

Good to see the RTP have got their act together on solving this case, but let's see how smart they are in apprehending the group of men who abducted and killed the victim

The Thai Smile was something often posted in articles about Thailand. But having lived now in Thailand for a number of months I have hardly seen the illusive Thai Smile. All waitresses who have served me seem to hate their job and as such never give you a smile or on most occasions utter a single word.

I arrived on a 60 day tourist visa then got a 30 day extension but was told I could not extend it again at the immigration office and that if I wanted to extend my stay I would have to leave the country and re-enter in a 30 day tourist visa

It's a small office located on the right hand side of the Hatyai police station ..... Good luck

I live in Hatyai and I am having problems of the 4 legged variety..... What are the legal implications of buying and using an air gun?. Can anyone recommend any online stores to buy air guns here in Thailand.

I wonder what proportion of minivan drives drive whilst under the influence of drugs?.

The UK consumer magazine Which ranked the DeLonghi Scultura ECZ351 as the best coffee machine

"this coffee machine will really satisfy those looking for an elegant model that can produce espressos and cappuccinos that impress the fiercest of coffee enthusiasts."

Pros: Excellent espressos, great milk frothing

Cons: It drips

I think looking at past new there were 4 bombs that exploded in Hat Yai last year so I guess the bulletin was in response to this..... I am still coming to Hat Yai in September and will judge the place when I spend a few weeks there. any recommendations on good restaurants that have live music would be appreciated.
