I've used xendpay for well over a year never had problems and it gives the best rates that track 0.2 or there about a below standard exchange rate.

Xendpay is the way!

Thanks for the clarification I'm a few years off anyway

It does work that way for visas and extensions. The 50 years is counted from your date of birth.

Thanks.

Just to confirm - correct if I'm wrong.

I enter on a standard SETV before my 49 birthday.
I have my 49th bday a couple of weeks after entry.
When I go for a extension to that SETV if I do the right paperwork I can get a 1 year extension based on retirement age.

I read a thread that Thai count the day after your 49 birthday as you being 50 - you are in your 50th year.
Before paying out on ed visa it might be prudent to find if your local immigration will give you a retirement extension.

You know, I don't want to buy a elite visa. Even I could effort it. But who knows where I'm in 5 years. But, I would be willing to pay 100k for a 1year visa. Or 50k for a 6 month visa.

I don't care & this is off topic.

It doesn't matter. But I visit my family every 1 or 2 years for 4-6 weeks. And this since almost 9 years. Never worked in Thailand. Just manged my investments by online banking. All my money comes from abroad. I'm glad to spend it in Thailand. Something wrong with that?

You are missing the point.

With a tourist visa you can't stay longer than 90 days in the kingdom. I never stayed longer than 90 days in Thailand. That means, no overstay.

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Sorry what I intended to mean is back to back with less than a month between SETV entries.


Sent from my S7 using Tapatalk

How many months have you been out of Thailand for in the last 12-18.
I would suggest:-
A tourist does not stay 100% of
the year or more in Thailand especially if the tourist is with a long term girl friend -in the eyes of immigration.

I'd your opinions.
I plan to spend 3-4 months outside Thailand every year and spent 8-9 months in Thailand on back to back SETVs.
I believe this could look acceptable as a tourist until I got the magic 50.

What do you reckon?

was wearing a collar shirt and smiling, unfortunately the young officer I was led to was grinning all the time.

Dam the best laid plans of mice and men!!

But I guess with new rules on how many stamps in your passport only cold hard cash and not the illusion of, will do.


Sent from my S7 using Tapatalk

I suggest wearing a shirt with collar when applying for visa or going through immigration for a 30 day. Didn't have to be smart but it looks better than a vest or old t-shirt.
Oh and maybe a smile.

Thanks, should be ok with a SETV then. Fingers crossed.

tried to enter at Suvarnabhumi just with EU passport and got denied entry because of too many tourist visa/visa exemption on arrival. When asked for money proof I showed my Thai banks ATM cards but they wanted to see only cash (that I could not access before Immigration barrier)
What sort of crazy place has Thailand become ? now I will go to Phnom Pehn to see if they can give me a visa and will try to re enter just to recover the staff in my Pattaya condo and the millions baht in my stock/market and bank accounts , but I am seriously thinking to relocate. 

Cash in hand is becoming rarer, I have sufficient in banks, I thought I could show bank balance on my phone apps but what your saying that will be a no go.

I mean exactly this school hand2handcombat.
I just want to know little more about this school.
I have seen youtube video from this school but it looked very bad so I  have wanted to get little more information from someone who attended this school.
 

What do you mean by very bad? Standards of decor and cleanliness are not the same as the west.
Quality of teaching & access to a Ed-visa with low hourly commitment is worth more than a lick of paint.

So I looked up your past post at http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/930392-Tourist-Visa-Yangon#entry11122035

So in the end you didn't need to show flight tickets/ reservations?

You also raised a question I'd never thought of -- I assumed a hotel reservation would be for somewhere in Thailand, but you were asking if it was actually for wherever one would go to after exiting Thailand. I'm not clear on which it is.

I admire your dodged determination.
I've just looked through my posts & it was like walking through treacle.

Anyway the mods have rolled it into a pinned thread so it came off my feed.
http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?/topic/954198-SETV-Yangon-report

The hotel booking thing, was questioned as the embassy states near the border. I think this was done for people claiming bus travel with no ticket. They assume a stop over in a border town before crossing.

From my experience and & the other reports there is little chance you will be asked for anything other than flight into Thailand.

I posted a report back in November.
They are more concerned about perfect Dollar bills than a ticket.

I did wear a nice shirt with collar usually goes down better than the slackers in baseball caps & vests [emoji23][emoji38][emoji13]

Read some past reports, I and others didn't need either hotel or out bound flights at yangon

Then I assume every single link you look at is wrong information where everything states a Non O is required?

The map is not the territory

Sent from my S7 using Tapatalk

I believe its a recent change. Every article points to needing a Non O at the very least. The other issue is I believe Immigration won't issue a resident permit on a Tourist visa. It needs to be done at the Embassy.

Wrong.
Immigration will issue a certificate of residence on application but it takes weeks unless you pay for fast tracking.

You can't start the licence application until you have it.

If you have a home country licence that covers what your applying for you don't have to take the test.

Medicals are easy peasy from the local Dr near the licence place.

Sent from my S7 using Tapatalk

I am pretty certain looking at the requirements you cannot obtain the licence anymore using a Tourist visa. You also 100% need a residence certificate and medical certificate.

I got mine in November last year in a tourist visa

Sent from my S7 using Tapatalk

No, you have to provide copies of passport etc to start the process and maybe show it as a form of ID later in the stage but that's it.

Good luck, the is a online English exam question practice test if you Google for it. Helped me brush up on signs & some other rules.

As viewed, so appears.

If that's how you view them, then that's what they are to you.
