Thai notary for pension income verification
Tod Daniels replied to Shwaman's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Sadly your friend was told incorrectly, and once the Canadian embassy stops issuing the affidavit of income from abroad notary document there will be no way for Canucks to show income in Canada. The only way they will be able to show proof of funds for monthly income method will be to transfer in the minimum required amount per month, each month, every month, for the previous 12 months before they apply for a new extension. Just like every other country whose embassy has stopped issuing that affidavit. There is no in country work around, there is no document you can show from your country, once the embassy letter stops you are done showing proof of funds in your country for monthly income method -
"visit thai family" 60 day extension
Tod Daniels replied to Aland's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What is the reason you are not applying for the yearly extension based on marriage to a thai? Do you need extra time for your funds to be seasoned and that's why you're going for the 60-day one-time visit Thai family extension? Most offices require the same documentation that you would present for a year extension except you do not need the photos or or the bank documents. TM 30 Lease Landlord id, House book Wife ID Wife House book Both marriage documents (Kor Ror 2 & 3) Data page of you passport Entry stamp Print out of the PDF file that is the visa TM 7 application w/passport photo That is usually what is required at most offices but remember there are over 80 offices in the country and each one marches to the tune of their own drummer. It would behoove you to have your Thai wife call the immigration office you deal with and ask them the exact requirements at that office for that extension. Remember you do not want a 60-day extension based on marriage, they will tell you there is no such thing, because there isn't. You want the 60 day extension specifically for visit Thai family, -
Totally common to be required to provide the year transaction detail report showing EVERY transaction on the account for the previous 12 months They usually require this for both banked money method AND monthly income method by international transfers That's because no one updates their bank book enough to catch every transaction (especially if you have a card or the app) so the ONLY way immigrations can tell you met the seasoning requirements (800K for 3 months after the extension was issued and then never below 400K the rest of the year until it's back to 800K 2 months before your extension application) is to have you do that year transaction print out.. Chaengwattana usually requires - standard bank letter (just the account number, your name/passport, the date they wrote the letter and the balance on that date) - year transaction detail print out (broken down by month) - updated bank book the date you apply for the extension - copies of the current bank book pages (and if you swapped out bank books because one was full during the year, bring the old one)

Just so you know, those 90 day report appointments (at least for Bangkok) book up FAST This is the only appt date available this month Plus they only release appts one month in advance (that's why next month there is nothing available after the 15th)

There is no longer a 90 day reporting app for Immigrations in thailand You use the 90 day report web-portal at this link Immigration 90 day reporting link You get to it from the main immigration website Main Immigration Website You want this choice Now to make an appt to show up to do your 90 day report you want to go to the main immigration office website and you want this choice When you file a 90 day report online, the second you submit it you get an email that says this [𝗧𝗠.𝟰𝟳] (𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢 : *********) 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗗 That email only means you submitted a 90 day report and is actually worthless 😛 Then you wait to get either this email [𝗧𝗠.𝟰𝟳] (𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢 : *********) 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗 Which means your report was not accepted OR This email [𝗧𝗠.𝟰𝟳] (𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢 : *********) 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 That email will have a PDF file attached that is the receipt you filed a 90 day report online and have the date your next 90 day report is due

Oversaty less then 24 hours
Tod Daniels replied to OKF's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The overstay under 24 hours no fine rule is ONLY for airport departures. You stamp out by land and you're fined for every day starting with day one. As long as you stamp out by 11:59PM the day after your stamp expires you won't be fined for overstay BUT you will indeed get a stamp in your passport in thai saying "overstay under 24 hours fine waived" remember as soon as you hit 24 hours overstay you will get fined 1000baht (for 2 days) 🙂 -
Thanx for the update, You are correct 👍 NOW the appt you book online has it's own queue number on the emailed confirmation and that number comes up on the board in front of the cubby you go to for the extension. Yep, if you change bank books because one got filled you have to have that book with you too, even though the year print out of the transaction detail shows every transaction on the account for the year.. Most bangkok banks have that "dot matrix" printer paper for the year statement that has the bank logo on it

Losing out with on-line TM47 applications
Tod Daniels replied to cliveshep's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think you're confused 😞 You can file a 90 day report in person from 2 weeks before the due date down until 1 week AFTER the due date. <- Going to file a 90 day report 7 days late doesn't get a fine, The 2000baht fine starts on the 8th day 😉 He goes exactly one week late each time to get that "free month" after a year of re-porting.. -
Losing out with on-line TM47 applications
Tod Daniels replied to cliveshep's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You could be like a friend of mine down here in Bangkok, and file your 90-day report 7 days late every time 😮 Which he brags, gains him an extra "free month" every year after four reports.. -
Visa run Poi Pet Cambodia
Tod Daniels replied to goldenbrwn1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You would be hard-pressed indeed, to find a worse border to try to bounce out and back at then the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border with Cambodia. I don't know who suggested that you use that border but you should rabbit punch them in the head. . You're lucky you even got back into Thailand at all, and many many people every week are turned back and told they have to fly into Thailand that they can't enter by that crossing. You need to count your blessings, and pick another border if you're going to bounce out and back again. It appears, from your story, that you didn't extend any visa and instead bounced out and back to get a brand new free 60 day entry stamp.. -
And that's exactly what you would do You would continue to meet the banked money method seasoning requirements of the current extension you're on (800K baht in the bank for 3 months after the extension is issued and then the balance can't go below 400K baht the rest of the year) AND you'd also be transferring in a minimum of 65K baht a month, each month, every month so you can use monthly income method for the next yearly extension I would pull the balance in your account down to UNDER 800K after the 3 months so they're not tempted to just give you the extension based on banked money again next year (having it under that 800K but above the 400k minimum required balance means they HAVE to accept the monthly income method by international transfers 🙂

You DO need to transfer the stamps before you do your next 90 day report You might as well "make a day of it" and go get the stamps moved, then file a 90 day report in person to get the new passport in the system PLUS you'll need to file a new TM30 with the new passport number or you will not be able to do 90 day reporting online you have the transfer stamp form and you need all the copies it says You also need to update your bank book the date you apply (no bank letter needed) and make a copy of the first page (w/your name account #) and then the last page that shows the balance You most likely won't need the credit advice print outs to show you've been transferring in a minimum of 65K baht a month since your last extension BUT if you have them take them 🙂

Thai citizenship for an adult child
Tod Daniels replied to LocoKwai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Post your question in this Facebook group Thai Citizenship Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/thaicitizenship/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT There is no group on the interweb that has more accurate more up-to-date and better answers than the thai citizenship and the people that participate in it -
You can indeed go from a visa exempt entry to FIRST a 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai and then after that a year extension for the same reason In Samut Prakan you need a MINIMUM of 15 days left on your current visa exempt entry stamp OR 30 day extension from that stamp You have the 400K baht in a thai bank account in your name only, you have the required documentation, TM30, lease, owners thai i/d, house book, wife's i/d, marriage certificates, bank letter, bank statement, updated bank book, photos, filled out TM86 application for visa and 2000baht You apply, they will give you a receipt showing you come back for the "results" in 2 weeks On that date you go back with the passport, they will ink in the Non-O visa stamp it used, and then a new 90 day stamp THEN you wait Until you have 30 days or less left on that 90 day stamp AND your 400K baht is seasoned in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months, You go back with all new documentation (same stuff you used before but a new set) and a filled out TM7 application for extension, pay the 1900baht, You will get a 30 day under consideration stamp, You go back on that date and get the year extension inked into your passport <- THEN you buy a re-entry permit if you want to leave the country during this coming year's extension period
