    ED-Visa in Pattaya

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Anyway I've paid and on 3rd January will go to Laos...

    Assuming the paperwork, which must be provided by the school, is in order you will receive a single entry ED visa which will allow a stay of 90 days. During the last 30 days of that 90 day entry you must apply (with paperwork from the school) for an extension of stay at immigration and the fee is 1900Bht. The max extension period available would be 90 days.

    Total time in Thailand (assuming extensions are obtained) cannot exceed one year.

    From what I understand, I should only get a multiple re entry if i exit Thailand more than 4 times in one year

    Thanks for clearly that up for me, I had thought when you apply for a retirement visa, while in Thailand, you have a chose of the two (Single or Multiple) but it's actually a function after you have obtained the Retirement Visa. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

    There is no "retirement visa " ! You will be applying for an "extension of stay based on retirement". It is not a visa.

    A re-entry permit can be applied after the extension of stay has been stamped into your passport.

    Thanks for the replay ubonjoe

    ​Seems straight forward to me

    ​I have another question,

    when i apply for my retirement visa in Chiang mai, should I get Multiple or Singe

    I plan to exit Thailand at lest twice per year.

    Cost of single visa:1,900 baht

    Cost of Multiple visa ??

    When I exit thailand when i have my retirement visa, if i have single, what requirements is required so that i retain my retirement visa?

    Thanks

    You will be apply for an "extension of stay" NOT a visa and the fee for the extension is 1900 Bht!

    If travel is desired during the validity of the extension of stay a re entry permit is required, 1000 Bht single re entry or 3800 multiple re entry in addition to the cost of the extension.

    Do you miss snow at Christmas?

    Don't miss the snow at Xmas. Even worse...I don't miss Xmas at all.

    Thanks for the link. Quite original. My address ended up in the Wat, but so what.

    Hugocnx,

    I'm from the UK so I do miss snow, I am currently in Brazil and summer started yesterday so no snow here (38 C today) and back home in Sakon Nakhon we don't get snow either.

    I just thought it was a nice touch to pass around.

    All the best

    Jerry

    Widespread snow is rarely experienced at Christmas in the UK .

    The Multiple Entry Tourist Visa Topic (METV)

    Applying in London in person ... How many days do the hotel bookings need to be for? I am a uk citizen but tax resident in Australia, so is my australian tax return from this year ok? I have well over the minimum £ in bank statements ... If I apply and am refused, will they just give a single, or nothing? Thanks all

    The London Thai Embassy usually issues visa on the next working day after application is made.

    I have no idea as to whether the Australian financial data will prove acceptable. The only means of finding out would be to ask at the Embassy.

    Misleading title MISS !

    Hello,

    I would like to point out that the matter I raised in starting this thread, applies to BOTH the Thai ID Card and the Thai Passport.

    Thus (if an "edit" function were available) I would amend my original post, as follows:

    - - - - Edit to original post starts: - - - -

    "I understand that a Thai lady is legally entitled to put onto her Thai Identity Card and her Passport, the title either: "Miss" or "Mrs" (I have no information about whether she can use "Ms"),

    and that she can have these titles put on to her ID Card or on to her Passport, in either Thai or in English.

    (The title appears in the ID Card / Passport "name" section.)

    She can use the title "MISS", even though she has registered her marriage."

    - - - - End of edit to original post - - - -

    Regards,

    Robert333

    Passports usually only indicate the sex of the passport holder "M" or "F", no reference is made to civil status.

    And Robert333 how is a lady to determine if you are married ? What ID do you possess which identifies your marital state?

    Opt out of marriage, but retain a long-term relationship?

    The Thais call an official marriage as Paper Marry, where it is recognised world wide as official. There are many Thai ladies who prefer a Traditional Buddhist marriage which is not recognised officially world wide. The later seem to suit your needs a maybe hers. Beware this can be as expensive as what traditional western wedding cost.

    A "Traditional Buddhist marriage" is not recognised as a Legal marriage within Thailand.

    Blocked Carotid Non-invasive where?

    in Health and Medicine

    Posted

    Are you symptomatic? And how severe (what %) is the blockage?

    Basically options are:

    1. Not to remove the blockage and instead just try to limit tyhe risk of stroke through use of anticoagulant medications etc. This is the only non-invasive option but it does not remove the blockage and would usually not be chosen if the person were symptomatic, nor if the blockage were severe (>70%) unless there were extenuating risk factors making removal of the blockage unusually risky (see below).

    2. Remove the blockage via:

    • carotid endarterectomy (surgically cleaning out the vessel) OR
    • Carotid angioplasty (invasive but non-surgical: a catheter with a balloon is threaded from your wrist or groin into the affected artery and then the balloon inflated; often this is combined with placement of a stent to keep the vessel open.

    Success rates and overall risks between the above two approaches are basically the same. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3423268/

    As to where to go, I recommend Dr KOSIN THUPVONG at Bangkok Hospital in Bangkok, or alternately Dr. Permyos Ruengsakulrach at the same place (he is also at Samitivej and at Phyathai 3).

    Probably not what you want to hear if you are, as name suggests, based in Phuket, but there really is no comparison in the level of expertise available in Bangkok vs. Phuket.

    An "interesting" comment . An elderly friend of ours has just undergone a successful carotid endarterectomy in one of Phuket's private hospitals.

    He is not complaining about a lack of expertise .

    Forms Needed for Non O visa in Savannakhet as preliminary to retirement visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    There is no "retirement visa" but you might obtain a non immigrant "O" visa based on being 50+ years of age if you can meet the financial requirements.

    As already said Savannakhet is not the best of places to apply.

    An "O" visa is a pre requisite for applying for an " extension of stay based on retirement" (It is not a visa )

    Not true!!!

    I, and many like me, have extensions of stay based on retirement without "O" visas.

    If you want to nit pick then at least try to be correct yourself.

    Please explain how an extension of stay is obtained without a non imm visa .

    You are not reading it "right"

    1. To begin with you need a single entry non immigrant "O" visa obtained from a Thai Embassy/Consulate outside of Thailand.(or by way of "conversion" from a TV or visa exempt entry)
    2. During the last 30 days of the 90 day stay the visa will provide you apply for an "Extension of Stay based on retirement (It is NOT a visa)
    3. During the life of the extension every 90 days a report is made to immigration
    4. If travel outside Thailand is undertaken a re-entry permit must be obtained to keep the extension alive.

    So. I've read of companies guaranteeing retirement visas for people with no income or capital

    And also met guys living on basic US /UK state pensions on retirement visas again how does that work?

    Sent from my GT-I9000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

    Involvement with these companies results in at least deception which in turn may involve fraud and criminality.

    Best avoided.
