I just want to inform that Sriracha immigration now demands medical certificate for retirement extension, almost all my friends also have the same conclusion thats must me a new rule at Sriracha Immigration.

We was 2 applicants today that renewed our extension with another year but we was well prepared and visit a hospital last week to get a certificate from a doctor and the officer again asked for the medical certificate and we was happy that we already have it so our extension was granted without problems.

I know common immigration offices that they dont demand such certificate except Sriracha,

If other have some experiences with some other offices in other places, pls inform.

Greetings.

Bengt!!

Premeditated murder can result in a life sentence or death penalty but executions is rarely carried out nowadays.

Hello.....it have come more clear that Sriracha immigration now require medical certificate , last year in december I have to visit a hospital to get my extension granted, then I have read that some postings have complain about the same issue at Sriracha immigration.

Yesterday a friend of mine got the same experience whe they asked him for a medical certificate so he have to leave and come back with a certificate issues by a hospital in Sriracha.

I wonder if just Sriracha have this kind of requirement or the staff just hassling with us?

I would be thankful if someone have more knowledge about this matter.

Last year they wanted a medical certificate of me when I applied for extension at Sriracha Immigration so i will go to a hospital and get in case they will ask for it but there is no reqirement for a medical certificate by law as I see it.

Hello....I living in Thailand on retirement extension and my present will expire in Jan 5, 2013, my passport validity will expire at march 18 2013 so how is the best way to continue?

Renew passport late this year at my embassy in Bangkok or can I renew my retirement extension untill my passport validiy expire in march and do another visa extension?

I am thankful for advices.

Bengt!!

Hello...you can apply for a double entry tourist visa, then it will not be any problem to stay more than 3 months, you have to do a border-run after 90 days the you will have another 60 days.

I hope this info at some help.

Not only Filipinas,,,Bangkok is full of : Russians,Africans and more nationalities that interfer on a market that should be available for Thais only, other nationalities often used by organized crime gangs that in most cases size their passports and force them into the market and often takes most of their income, I feel pity the ones that been promised a real work here and forced into sexbusiness and so on.

Hello....I have help one of my Swedish friends to convert a visawaiver to a non-o with retirement extension, it was done at Sriracha immigration with no problem, we have all paper and documents in order and he applied for a multiple reentry at the same time and the fee in total was about 7.500 THB

I think it wouldnt be any problem even at Udon immigration.

I wish you good luck.

Bengt!!

The strong THB have lead to that forenginers avoid to buy properties like houses or condos.

1 Euro got about 50 THB some years ago, A GBP got about 70, A USD got about 36-39 THB...but now about 15-20% less for foreign money.

I tried to manage my economy at 10.000 THB for a few months and I make it work....but it was hard but as long I own my apartment I havge a low fee and eat and drinks for about 150 THB per day it works but it was boring.

The best was that I saved a lot of money during thoose months.

if Thais got some social security as public health insurance that works 100% and cheap way of transportations they can made a living for 300 THB per day but then the best is to stay away frpm cigarrettes and alcohol and have some boring times from and on.

The most important is to stay healthy.

50 THB per litre gasoline.....maybe not so much traffic jams

Well done...................

No problem to get a retirement extension if you have obtained a non-o even as married to Thai national.

The extension process can be made within 30 days before your stay will expire so if you enter before 20 july you will get 90 days so you have enough time to plan fpr your extension.

Wonder how many females?

Use NORTON security applications...its the best.

Retirement visa requires that the applicant also have to be at least 50 years o age.

Fly to Phnom Penh or Saigon. No I'm not joking.

Best comment this far.....

Thats the Thai spirit ! Get the Swedes straight into Phuket and clean out their wallets before Bangkok gets a dip.

Thats right...........

How about to have more roadblocks for testing drivers under influence of drugs and alcohol?

You cannot at Immigration extend a non-O for 90 days,you will have an option for 1 year based on retirement or marriage or 7 days, the only cases I known this far is if you for ex. have been admitted in a hospital and your visa is on its way to expire you can get ex. 30 or 60 days depending on your status so your option is to do a border run in this case.

To be for sure, enter the Kingdom the day before expiring.

If your visa was issued in jan 2011 it will be expired in jan 2012...so you have to apply for a new visa or enter on a 30 day visa exempt for ex.

Hi....can be a result of overheating....it very important to have good ventilation...........but i maight be some other reasons as well but many ppl use laptops in wifi areas whitout suitable temperatures like outside for ex.

I got Thai driving licence since some years, one of the requirements was that I need a NON Immigrant visa,

I wonder what will happen if I by some reason loose my NON-O visa and enter the Kingdom at a visa exempt,vill my driving licence be unvalid?

Thankful for answer.
