    It would help if you told us where you will be located when you are here.

    There is a a good chance you will not be able to get a certificate of residency from immigration dependent upon which immigration office you go to.

    You may have to get it from your embassy.

    I stay close to Chaiyaphum in a Bed and breakfast for 4 months and build a house, finished in January. I need also a extension for 60 days based on family visit or mariage.

    I stay there to suprvise the building of the house and need a bank account to pay. My wife will go a month back to The Netherlands (work).

    See for other info the answer i gave to Onera1961

    There is no need for TM30. Where did you get Non-O? Is it for marriage? Opening a bank account is becoming tricky. Do exactly what the bank says. If you don't intend to stay in Thailand, you may also get by without opening a bank account. 

    I have the NON-O in The Netherlands and need an extension for 60 days visit family together with my wife and build a house, buy a car, get a a drivers license, need yellow tabien baan and pink ID. Close to Chaiyaphum, I am married have Khor ror 22. Wife have bank account at BB. I need also a bank account.

    As you see my wish list is long and I think my days are filled the coming months.

    Op, you need bit more detail. You have non o... Based on what retirement or.... As far as bank account you can obtain certificate of residence at immigration or some embassies. Things have become bit more strict re bank account. Threads about this you can read up. Common reply will be "shop around". Recently I had knock back from few banks then got the OK from one. Just to add ..apart from CR some banks want embassy letter. Go to bank first.

    I do not have retirement and do not want it, I stay just 4 months, visit family, not go for extension retirement. So how I get it at IMM? I need a bank account. I not go shopping. 

    Extension of stay with NON O Visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    Dear experts.

    I have tried to get a NON imm O-A visa in the Netherlands but it is nearly impossible to find a doctor who will sign the medical certificate what is needed to approve the visa. My family dokter will not do it, has no tools to analyse. The Travel Clinic in Nijmegen ( connected to medival university) only able to do the TBC check and Syfilis. The medical university of Leiden, specialist in foreign infectious diseases, also not able to do all deseases. So I stop with it. 

    I only need to stay for 114 days in Thailand, but need a "proof of residence" to get a bank account and drivers license.

    Is it possible to apply for a multiple entry NON imm. O visa and make an extension for 30 or 60 days? But without the financial burden to put 800K in the bank or send monthly 65K?

    I do not have time to spend time in Bangkok and have to deal with immigration in Chaiyaphum. Also avoid a border visit, but is possible.

    Please advise me?

    Whichever visa you use to enter Thailand (even a visa exempt) you (or your hotel or landlord/housemaster) should report your address to your local immigration office (TM30) within 24 hours, and the I/O can then issue you with a certificate of residence if you want.  If you're planning to be based in Chaiyaphum then that's the best place to do it (although I have no experience of this office).

    This is in the planning.

    You should be able to open a bank account and get a Thai drivers license whatever visa you have, although some areas may refuse for a VE.  Best if you do a conversion using your national driving license plus an International as it saves doing the whole test...  If this is your first license, it makes no difference what visa you have, you'll only get a 2 year validity.  (Next time if you have a non-O or extension of, you'll get a 5 year, or if you're still on METV's you'll only get another 2 years.)

    It is the first and have always a INT license with me.

     

    For your bank, it's again best to open it in the province where you will most likely be staying, since out-of-province ATM withdrawal usually incur a small charge, but preferable to use a main branch or one in a major mall (like Tesco Lotus) as there's a slightly better chance that they'll speak some English.  It'll help if you take a Thai existing account holder with you as an introduction.

     

    They have 2 branches in the city. In one I was refused, need a proof of residence.

     

     

    With an METV you'll get 60 days initially extendable by 30, then you'll need to do a border run for another 60(+30).

    This still an option for me but do not like a border run.

    A non-O will give you 30 days (only extendable for one year provided you satisfy the financial conditions for retirement or marriage, or for 60days if married).

     

    A non-O-A ("retirement") is multi-entry that is valid for one year.  If you leave and re-enter just before the visa expired you can get another year of stay (but you'll need a re-entry permit once the visa has passed its validity date, if you do want to leave again).

     

     

    Both an O or an O-A can be extended annually provided you meet the necessary conditions.

    If you get a METV, you can (I think) convert this to a non-O without leaving T/L, but I'm unsure if all Immigration offices can do this.

    Thanks

    First extension with NON imm O visa

    I am looking for the easy way to stay 4 moths in Thailand for holydays. In fact only for supervise the building of a house.

    I also need a proof of residence to get a bank account and possibly a drivers licence.

    I do not have time to stay in Bangkok and do my immigration things at the imm office in Chaiyaphum. I have a permanent address to stay for these 4 months in the house of my wives sister.

    I can do a 1. METV, a 2. NON IMM O-A (ME) or 3. NON IMM O retirement.

     

    1. With a METV and extension I do not get a proof of residence and drivers license I think. I also want to avoid border runs for extensions.

     

    2. With a NON IMM O-A multiple entry it is possible to get a residence proof and drivers license but very expensive in total with all paper work and stamps for notarising. CAN I HANDLE ALL IMMIGRATION THINGS AT THE CHAIYAPHUM OFFICE?

     

    3. With a NON IMM O multiple entry for retirement. Although we do not stay permanent after the house is ready we go a few months a year to the house. I can get a residents proof and a drivers license I believe. 

    But CAN I MAKE THE FIRST EXTENSION (TO GET A ONE YEAR) OF THIS VISA AT THE IMM OFFICE IN CHAIYAPHUM?

     

    Good advise is welcome and wrong assumptions of me can be discussed 

    If one will respond please do it for each paragraph number to keep sight on the differences?

     

    Thanks in advance

     

     

    Where to get a medical certificate required for NON O-A Visa

    Hoi Marius

     

    If you apply abroad for a non OA visa you need a doctor certificate and a police report (soort van VOG).

     

    You better get a non o visa, and change it here in Thailand to a non OA.

    For a non O these documents are not required at the embassy if my memory serve me right.

     

    Nb. The doctor certificate in Thailand cost about 100-120 THB. It is needed for like the driving license and for the workpermit

     

    What you can do, if you eventually go to the 'huisarts' doctor, ask him/her to fill, sign and stamp in the form (I give a link to it) in twofold just in case. http://www.thaiconsulatela.org/pdf/medical_certificate.pdf which is in both english and thai.

    And 'VOG', then that would be sufficent to get a non OA.

     

    The cost 41.35 euro for the VOG and the doctorvisit depends on your choice.

     

    Rgds,

    I asked my doctor but he can not do it as I mentioned in my message before. 

    Marriage Extension documents

    And photos of you and the wife in around the house with one showing the condo number in it.

    Here is my list of general requirements. Marriage Extension Requirements 2.pdf

    Most offices want a signed copy of the owners house book and ID card along with the rental agreement. The Chanot is not normally asked for.

    In your general requirements is listed "Proof of residence if not living where your wife's house book is for." Is this the case if both are living in a hotel or a house of wifes family?

    Use of METV for stay 4 months

    Yeah so i think you may consider getting an O-A next time, with all the additional costs involved, that will give you a permission of stay of 12 months each time and can be stretched for up to 2 years.

     

    Currently, your 150 euro METV can be stretched for up to 9 months if timed in a certain way and will involve the following additional costs:

     

    -each permission of stay of 60 days can be extended for a further 30 days at a cost of 1,900 baht.

    -each time you enter Laos you will pay USD 30 visa on arrival (or 1,500 baht should you forget to bring USD).

    -the cost of your multiple visa runs (transportation), and the time lost.

     

    It will add up to more than what you would have spent for the O-A in additional notary fees.

     

    But yes, you should not encounter issues at Nong Khai, it's a friendly border for you to do your in-outs.

    Thanks, this will cover all my questions plus good advise

    Use of METV for stay 4 months

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Dear members.

    I have a question about the use of a Tourist METV issued in The Netherlands. I will stay about 3-4 months in Thailand starting in October. I avoid the O-visa because I do not like to stay in Bangkok. Also the O-A is not my choice because all documents I need are expensive. To get birth certificate, population register, non criminal record, medical certificate and so on. With the certification of Foreign affairs in the Netherlands will cost at least € 160. Together with the embassy fee of €150 and travel expenses it is too much money and trouble..

     

    I choose a 60 day tourist visa with multiple entries, only €150.

    With this METV I have to go once over the border to Vientiane before the first 60 days are used I understand. Is this wright?

    I understand I have then 60 days again and can do this more within 6 months before this METV is finished/used?

     

    Is this border run just go in and out Laos and can do it on one day? This would be the most convenient method for me, maybe not the smartest but OK.

    I am scared I can not go back to Thailand if I do something wrong.

     

    Please reply?
