As it founds likeyou would be flying in visa exempt be aware that airline may (probably will)  insist on seeing a return ur onwsrd  ticket not more than 30 days from arrival.

 

So you will need to fleither have a flexible return ticket (one you can change datss on after youenter) or bug a "throw awsy" onwsrd ticket. (Or, if anyway planning to visit a neighboring country buy ticket for that...)

This year I booked 120 days to Thailand  from UK on visa on arrival.I had a return flight booked to Cambodia on day 58.When I left UK I had no problem with airline not having return ticket within the 30 days of arrival.

Have things changed now?

Hi,

I have received conflicting information regarding the 30 days extension given after 45 days.Maybe Jack or Joe can answer my query?

I arrived for 4 mths trip on a visa exempt.After the 45 days and near the end of the 30 days extension I booked a 3 day out of Thailand.When I come back can I repeat the process of 45 days plus 30 days extension.I have been told you will not get the second 30 extension.Is this correct?TIA

Do you need a copy of TM30?

last time I went for the 30 day extension on the visa exempt I did not need to show anything relating to TM30.

Thanks guys

I am returning to Thailand on Jan 25 for 4 months on a visa exempt status which I want to change to a Non O Imm based on retirement.

I have the 800k in my bank for many years.

My question to Joe or Jack is

can I go to Chang Wattana on jan 26(44 days before visa expires) or do I have to wait until there is less than 30 days left on the visa?

TIA for any help.

Billypla.

Thanks for your quick response Joe.I am a bit confused however on difference between Visa Exempt and Visa on Arrival.

I am from Ireland whichis one of the countries that does not require a visa so what is the visa exempt entry?Is there a form I need to fill out and what is the 2000 fee?

Sorry for sounding dim

Hi all.

Previously I had a yearly extension based on retirement.This lapsed during covid and now I enter Thailand on a visa at arrival.

But I want to apply again for the Non Immigrant visa.

I have a few questions which hopefully Joe or Jack can help me with.

(1)

What is the earliest date that I can apply for the Non Imm?.If I arrive Jan 25 can I go Chang Wattana the next day?

(2)Can I just turn at Chang Wattana or do I have to make an appoinment ?

(3)Do I need Insurance when applying for Non Imm or only when you are apply for extension for retirement?

(4)Are there any new documents that I need for Non Imm visa?

I have 800k in the bank for over 5 yrs.

I update my balance on the day I go there.Is there any other bank letters I need.

My bank Siam send me monthly statements.Is this sufficient or is there another ba.nk detail that I am missing?

Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks Jack.Helpful as always

Hi All,

For the previous 10 yrs I have had a visa based on renewal of extension for retirement but after covid I am just returning for 57 days.I got Visa on arrival and I will extend after 29 or 30 days.

My questions primarily to Joe or Dr Jack are

Do I just need the usual copies of Passport pages,Tm6 and filled out Tm7 plus 1900 baht?

Can I just show my lease agreement as I am still in the same property and have not been anywhere else since I arrived so I think I do not need a TM30 or do I?

Do I still go to the usual address in Chang Wattana or do I go to Laksi Mall?Are they near each other and does Laksi mall have photocopying facilities like Chang Wattana.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked many times but hopefully someone can help me with Thailand Pass queries.

I am flying from Dublin to Helsinki and then a connecting flight to Bkk.

Which departure country do I put on Thailand Pass?Is it Ireland or Finland?

What is the flight number?I presume it is The second flight from Helsinki?

cheers

What agency did you go through and can they help with getting a tourist visa also?What was the cost and how long did the whole process take?Not being computer savvy I am afraid to buy ticket and then not be able to get Thailand pass to work!!

Thanks guys

Hi,I am in a similar situation as your friend in that my extension to stay has lapsed and I want to enter Thailand on visa exempt.But my question for you or Ubonjoe is if I book a return flight 5 months later will I have any problems entering when I have only a visa exempt which  is only for 30 days?

Hi Peter,

Yes I already registered successfully but when I try to complete form online I get stuck on scanning the passport.I do not know what I am doing wrong.Any tips?

Thanks.I searched but it did not work.I have tried scanning passport photo about 20 times but have given up now.

Anyway thanks for replies

Previously I submitted my Tm30 by post and always got a receipt from Immigration.

Today I arrived back in Thailand and submitted my TM 30 online.I filled out all the info with exception of scanning passport photo and when I clicked send it said it was submitted succesfully.Why was I not automatically sent a receipt or will I have to go send it by post again?

Hopefully Joe or some savvy Tech guy can help me.

many thanks

Thanks

I was hoping that one of you TM 30 experts can help with this simple query.I have just returned from a holiday in Ireland and on the TM form do I put the address that I stayed in or do I leave it blank as it was not in the kingdom of Thailand?

cheers

Thanks Joe.I think I might wait a few days as it seems to be crazy in Chaeng Wattana at the moment and we have just had 2 public holidays so I think this week it will be packed with people.

Hi hope that Ubonjoe or one of the other wise chaps can help me with this simple question(s).

My extension to stay expires on the 18th Nov.How far in advance can I go to Chaeng Wattana to obtain my new one?eg15 days,7 days or do I have to go in on the 18th?

I presume it is the same documents needed as before

TM7

Passport face page

Original visa stamp

Recent extension stamp& entry to Thailand

Current airport departure card

Home map

Bank statement and letter

1900 baht

And then TM8 for multi entry?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks everybody.Joe,I am applying initially for the Non O and then I want to apply for the extension to stay so hopefully I should be ok.

Thanks Joe 

Yes I have the bank book where the original money came from.This bank book also shows money from a school where I worked(without work permit) hence the reason I opened the second bank account which would only have the 800 k in it.

Hi I have a query regarding the 800k required for non imm status.

I transferred 800k from overseas a few yrs ago to my Thai bank.I later opened a second Thai bank and transferred the 800k in here.

Ubonjoe told me that immigration require that the money come from overseas.

Can I get a letter from the second Thai bank to state that even though the 800 k came from another Thai bank,its original source came from overseas?

Any assistance would be appreciated.Thanks.
