However, if you are leaving and never intend returning there is no chance of your failure to report having any adverse outcome.

* If you are leaving for good there is no need to report.

That seems bad advice to me. You can never say never. Imagine his friends of family decide a trip in Thailand in 10 or 20 years. Computers never forget. I am not sure it will be fun to start the trip with a visit to the airport immigration office to pay a 5'000 (?) baht fine...

Any problem would belong to the OP not the family or friends!

Is the "computer" aware of all the OP's family and friends?

This man has brought this problem onto his own head.

Allegedly he has lived/worked in Saudi for 25 years so he should know what the "rules" are.

The Saudis are remarkably tolerant of Western lifestyles as long as it is kept within the gated compounds where most expats live.

By transporting alcohol he knowingly broke Saudi Law.

Back on topic, you guys forgot extra voluntary work.

A/ Contributing to Thailand

B/ Giving you a visa

C/ Escaping capitalism

That could be a possibility...

If you or anyone else wishes to "escape" Capitalism you should head for Vietnam, Laos, or the Indian State of Kerala . All places where the Red Flag flies.

You should check Singapore's requirements more carefully !

In Singapore, METV are only available for residents so there is no point of going there in the first place.

Provide a link which proves that assertion.

The Thai embassy in Rome has just announced the new METV. Two of the conditions (based on TV member translations) are:

• 6,000 euros in the bank (approx 240k thb).
• Proof of a job.

And they are dropping the 2 and 3 entry TR's.

IF conditions like that are imposed across the world it will have a big impact.

It's always been the case that in Vientiane you may asked to show 'proof of income'. Money coming in from overseas on a regular basis to prove one is not working in Thailand.

Anyway the word 'income' there and 'job' on the Rome embassy website are most likely just synonymous with 'money in your account'. We also know consultates rarely get the he details right, or

You're clutching at straws with nothing to go on other than 'working is working' in the Alien Labor act. These threads have been going on for years, and digital nomads are still here.

We all know consulates' websites are less than reliable. The Singapore website doesn't mention anything like that:

Is the post safe to do so for sending passports?? or do you use like some kind of registered/express courier type of post?

No need to send passports if doing a 90 day report by mail.

Photocopies are all that are required.

They want the TM30 filled out by your apartment and a copy of the house book and ID of the person listed in the house book as house-master.

It is something that has been asked for at some offices since at least 2014. More common with marriage extensions but becoming required at some offices for retirement extensions too. It's nothing new due to the Bangkok bombing but maybe more offices will ask for it due to heightened security.

In Phuket this all started some time ago with a "crackdown" on small hotels and guest houses who were failing to report (as required by law) the presence of visitors.

Immigration began in , if I remember correctly, Jan 2015 requiring those on extensions to provide TM30's etc.

Definitely nothing to do with bombs!

Kitsune

A ridiculous comment which adds no value to the discussion.

First, sorry about my english.

My question is not about getting visa or extension. My question is if i have single entry visa(3 months) , and i stay 1 year with this visa(with extensions) , and if i have to show that i live in thailand 1 year officially , is it okay?

Im asking because if have multi entry visa(1 year) and stay more than 1 year with extensions its counting only 1 year cos have 1 year visa.

Anybody know something about that?

Thanks for replies.

"I got non-o single entry visa and im planning to do every 60days extend at chaeng wattana like i have done before my ed visa."

You cannot do this!

If married to a Thai you can apply for ONE 60 day extension.

You will then either have to........

1. Apply for a 12 month "extension of stay based on marriage".

OR

2. Leave the country and apply for another visa at a Thai Embassy/Consulate.

Good news, ...

I hope the 90 days report will be done online too,

will save time for many people indeed,

Where have you been hiding?

90 day online reports can be made!

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/812263-online-90-day-reporting-available-from-april-1st/

there are so many conflicting reports on the renewal of a british passport I/e how many photos , colour photos of passport [ pages]? can anyone give me specific details .

All the information needed in the link

https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports

First of all thanks a lot for the replies,

I got a little bit confused with the extension of the marriage , if I can show income of 40000 per month that means I can work? Or still because its an extension of a tourist I still can't work?

By working I mean of course at the shop

You can only work if a job meets the requirements for a Work Permit (see post 4) .

It is unlikely that you will get a Work Permit to work in the sho+p.

A triple entry tourist visa will provide almost 9 months in Thailand.

Once that visa has expired another tourist visa can be obtained from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a nearby country but most will not issue triple entry visas.

Many of the Embassies/Consulates will limit the number of Tourist visas they will issue back to back.

Probably the best place to get a visa would be Vientiane in Laos.

am i able to extend it another 30 days after that i will i have to leave?

You can only have one 30 day extension so, Yes, after that you will have to leave.

if we get married, need only to have 400000 baht or 40000 income per month and I get visa every year without going out?

and what about baby ? (just to know haha )

If married you will not get a visa every year without going out!

What can be obtained is an "extension of stay based on marriage" (it is not a visa)

To obtain the extension you would first need (with your marriage documentation) to obtain a single entry "O" visa from a nearby Thai Embassy/Consulate. This visa will allow a 90 day stay. During the last 30 days of that stay you could apply for the extension which is renewable yearly if you can meet the financial. and other requirements.

There are no 30 day tourist visas or 60 day extensions of such.

You most likely entered the country with a visa exempt entry (it is not a "visa") which provided a 30 day stay.

To extend this stay by 30 days you need .............

Passport.

Copies of the passport data page, entry stamp and departure card.

A passport photo

A completed application TM7 form and the 1900 Bht fee.

Some immigration offices will ask for proof of address.

Baby = Visa

You only need 9 months worth of visa runs.

Baby does NoT equal visa/extension of stay unless the legal father with sole custody or married to the Thai mother.

Then there is the need to have 400,000 Baht in a Thai Bank!

Rent 1250 /month?

Is that for an air con rabbit hutch?

I very much doubt that hotel receptionists are interested in or know anything about 90 day reports.

Strictly speaking you should make the report, there is no "grace period" just a window of time during which the report can be made.

However, if you are leaving and never intend returning there is no chance of your failure to report having any adverse outcome.

Edit.

if the 90 day report slip is not in the passport no one can see it.

Your best option is probably a double or triple entry tourist visa.

There is no "work visa" and I doubt a small shop would support your obtaining a "B" visa or Work permit.

Be aware it is illegal to undertake work of any description without a work permit.

Other members may have different advice .

My extension expires when my passport expires so I will not be applying for a transfer but for a new extension in my new passport. Will I still need a letter from the embassy

You will probably need the letter and you will need some stamps transferred including detail about your original "O" visa.

6,000 Euros. Wow! thats 240k thb

We may see criteria for the new METV vary between embassies and consulates, but I wouldn't be surprised if they all, at least, drop the triple entry.

Which equals some 40,000/month.

Accommodation,food, transport etc. could easily cost that !

It will be interesting to see what conditions other Thai Embassies impose as conditions for issuing the METV

i would agree that the triple entry TV is likely to be dropped.

Interesting

Thank you

Reports suggest the 30-day visa exempt border runs are back on at all border crossings.

Some are suggesting they are now limited to 3x a calendar year, i.e. 90 days.

As far as I know the 90 days is only for the crossings that were not allowing them at for a while.

It seems the Lao crossings are not putting the restrictions in place for Laotians or anybody else.

Yes, but this (if confirmed and enforced) will have serious effects on Laotians who do monthly border runs from Pattaya to Cambodia, in order to stay "legal".

Do the visa exempt entries obtained by Laotians allow them to legally work?

60 day entries gained from tourist visas ARE extendable by 30 days! Many people do this every single working day at immigration offices all over the Kingdom!

I do not know where you have been obtaining information but , being polite, you have been badly misinformed.
