If you are not given a Priority Pass you can still show your business class seat ticket and use the immigration priority lane. Usually there's less than a handful of people at immigration priority lane whereas normal immigration queue can be 20 to 45 minutes queue. So do you need to pay for VIP service? Not in my opinion.
Priority lane is a premium service that has to be paid for by the airlines and unless you have a "Fastrack Pass" you will rejected. If it was possible to just show BC ticket then their would not be any reason to issue a "Fastrack Pass".

Yes, all foreign exchange is accounted for, and all brits departing and arriving are accounted for. So at 11:59 last night they knew, to the baht, how many pounds were exchanged and to the person how many brits are in Thailand. Its not hard to marry the 2 figures together.
You could even take out the long stay visa holders and large exchange amounts(condo purchase etc) and be left with some pretty accurate numbers.
poppycock

And exactly how are you going to get from departures to arrivals?
This used to be possible, not anymore.
It is possible, just go down the escalators.

I think his point is, if Immigration really wanted to stop people like him - or thought he was "playing the system" (in a bad way) - they could have refused his extension. He was right in the heart of the machine at CW. In actuality, anyone on ANY legal-visa here is "playing the system" by the rules made and enforced by Thai authorities.
you're post is as nonsensical as the OP's, why do you classify ANYONE with a legitimate visa as playing the system? The only one's playing the system are the one's that abuse the system.

Was it ever possible to not do it legally? Was it ever possible to do it illegally?
Don't understand the point you are trying to make, it has always been possible and has been 1900 baht for years now.

Doubt you would have any chance of getting work permit without first having valid B visa.

But even though you may get a multi entry visa in Singapore based on marriage to a Thai, they will NOT give you that same visa based on retirement in Thailand unless you are a Singapore resident.
Try it and see.
Correct, you can only get it based on marriage to a Thai, however once you have the visa you can then do extension in Thailand based on retirement.

Sorry chum, gas must be installed by Corgi registered/licensed folk, you cannot do electrical work for the safety of folk who may buy the property... Well that was my info 15 years back...
Sorry chum your info from 15 years ago was wrong then and is still wrong today. I buy renovate and rent houses in the UK and all gas and electrical modifications / installations are checked and signed off by respective registered competent person. Certificates are then lodged with the rental management company with re inspection and renewal of certificates every 5 years. I reiterate.......you can legally do any work you want on your own house.

Can I ask if you had any sort of Thai visa at the time of your application? Or you had none?
I have been here 22 years on Non Bs as I have always been employed. My visa will be cancelled this week as I have left my job and I'm moving to take up a new job in Singapore. My wife and kids will stay in Bangkok so I will apply for a multiple entry Non O in Singapore. Unfortunately I didn't get time to sort it out here before I have to leave.
No Thai visa at time of application, I had been using 30 day visa exempt for past 10 years.

In the UK it is illegal to do many things, for instance, electrical work on your house, and gas pipe work is a no-no. You want to do alterations to your house, the borough engineer gets involved..Drainage, the water board is involved, plus they all cost you money before you do anything...
Absolute rubbish, you can legally do any work you want on your house in the UK, the only stipulation is that specialist work such as electrical and gas need to be inspected and signed of by a certified competent person.

Excuse me chaps and I really don't mean any offence! I am at a loss to understand how can you guys live under those conditions?
No allowed to work on your own homes . A lot of the work is of substandard. And in most cases you are getting ripped off .
Or is it a whole country of farrang lost souls?
Once again I don't mean to offend but I am at a loss that is why I left .
Take everything you read on here with a pinch of salt.

No I am referring to the current page on thaiembassyuk.org.uk....the website for the thai Embassy in the U.K....
I got pulled at Swampy immigration back in December and was told the limit is maximum of 3 x 30 days (90 days in total) in any rolling 6 month period, this is exactly what is stated on the MFA website.

Interesting, what are the financial requirements? A few months ago I got mine in Penang this time, where they accepted overseas Bank statements, will Singapore accept this also?
400,000 baht, I provided statement from Thai bank, however you could try oversees bank statement and upload with your application, if there's a problem they will advise in the comment section of "My Application".

Comments previously posted on Thai Visa have intimated that the Thai Embassy in Singapore will only issue visa's to a Singaporean or a person with a Singapore residents card. This information is incorrect as I have this week successfully obtained my 12 month multiple entry Non-O visa at the embassy in Singapore. The nationalities for residents card requirement are clearly stated on the website, for most G20 countries this requirement does not apply.
For anyone who is interested the following is the procedure I followed; first let's deal with the online application
1. Using your mobile phone take a photo of your Passport details page and a selfie of your head and shoulders (to represent a traditional 35mm x 45mm passport photo), use photo editor to crop as required and upload to your computer as a jpeg file;
2. Go to Thai Embassy Singapore website and click "online visa" application. You will then be asked to create your account.
3. First two parts of application form require your to upload the two above photos.
4. Complete the application form as required, for guarantor parts just put "Self" and use your own phone number. For Singapore address I used the hotel, and permanent address I used my Thai address.
Once you have completed application form you will see the section stating what supporting documents are required, you will need to preferably scan these and upload to your computer. Phone camera could again be used if no scanner available.
The following is list of documents I provided;
1. Thai wife ID card (signed by wife)
2. Thai Wife Passport (signed by wife)
3. Marriage Certificate (signed by wife)
4. Tabien Ban (signed by wife)
5. Bank Statement (signed by me)
6. Letter from Thai Wife - this is a simple letter stating when you first met, date of marriage, confirmation that you are still together at same address and request from her that your application is approved.
Once everything is completed click on "Submit" the embassy will then review your application. The following day log on to your account and select the "My Application" tab, the status box should say "reviewed" and the Official Comment box should say
Comment :
1. Please print the applications form and bring support documents to submit at Thai Embassy in Singapore during office hours 09:15am - 11:30amThis in essence indicates that your application has been accepted. You will see a view button at the right hand side of the page, click on this and you will see your application form all ready to print off (2 pages)
Next step is visiting the embassy in Singapore, I took a return flight from swampy with Cathay Pacific for just over 7,000 Baht and flew on Sunday lunchtime. Hotel I stayed at was Goodwood Park Hotel on Scotts Rd, just off orchard Rd and 10 mins walk to embassy.
Arrived at embassy 10am Monday morning waited 30 mins, handed over all documents and was told to check status in "My Application" the following morning. Tuesday morning checked status which now showed "Approved" with instruction to collect passport between 2pm - 3pm.

You will be lucky if you can get a single entry non-o visa in Singapore unless you are from there or a legal resident. You would also need to show 400k baht in the bank or proof of income to get it.
The letter will need be a request from your wife that they issue the visa to you.
Hi Ubonjoe,
Yes I thought same as you, however after checking their website and finding nothing relating to having to be sing national or resident I called them and they confirmed that UK citizen can apply for ME Non-O visa. Also with the new online application any issues with your application are identified to you prior to physically attending the consulate. 400k is no problem.

Going to Singapore next month for 12 month ME Non-O based on marriage to Thai wife. New procedure is that you now initiate your visa application online and once your application is reviewed and approved you attend the consulate had over all supporting docs and receive visa next day. However part of required documentation is a letter from Thai Spouse, does anyone know what the content of this letter should be, or can anyone post a sample of one that has been used successfully (all private info blanked out of course).

any benefits come with the card ?
I consider my Passport as my official ID.
I have had my ID card for 6 months now, nothing to do with what visa you have (I got mine on visa exempt) but has everything to do with you having yellow book and permanent place of residence when in Thailand. The holder of the blue book for the residence you wish to register must also complete several sets of documents in support of your application.
As for the benifits;
1. No need to carry passport.
2. Can open bank account.
3. Can buy a car.
4. You are eligible for Thai price where dual pricing exists.

Guys,
Can you advise if it's possible to obtain 1 year non-O (based on marriage) at Vientiane, if so what docs do they require?
-
Absolute rubbish, there are over 1000 people in the UK with the name John Smith, hence according to you if one gets blocked they all get blocked!!!
My brother works in UK immigration and according to him all passports presented at any foreign immigration are scanned and logged by number and name only. If you presented a second or new passport then there would be no visible relationship to any previously presented passport.

I remember when I arrived last time I saw a notice must have been pointing at the Pri Lane saying that over 60s can use it too.
There may be a few who don't get a pass who might like to know that.

Guys,
Has anyone got recent info regarding obtaining one year non-o at the Thai Embassy in Singapore, especially the turnaround time. Tried searching other threads for info on this but coming up with zilch.

Thanks for the advise guys, I live in Rayong so either Penang or Savannakhet is doable. Probably drive up to Sanannakhet as not been there before.

Work rotation and family issues have caused me to exceed 3 visa exempt entries during the last 6 months, IO advised on last entry to obtain proper visa, as I only had 4 days in Thailand I did not have enough time to do this. My current situation is that I work overseas on 28/28 rotation and have been entering Thailand for the last 10 years on visa exempt basis, I currently plan to retire by Oct 2017 and until then will be continuing with 28/28 rotation. I am due back in Thailand end of Dec and plan to use my 2nd passport for a visa exempt entry (does anybody see any issue with this?) then during this time obtain a proper visa. My dilemma is what are the options (I am officially married to Thai national), can I do the process in country or do I need to travel out of country?
If flying business class is there need for vip service

The poster stated that you can show BC ticket and go through premium lane (70+ and BOI can go through on any ticket) which is incorrect in respect of the premium lanes used by non Thai Airways BC/FC passengers.
