BKK Bank 4 months banked method??
DrJack54 replied to homemade514's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There is no letter "confirming the funds" There is a bank letter that basically lists name of owner of the account and balance at time of issue. 100b For seasoning of funds (2 months) immigration would accept 3 month Bank statement or even photocopies of Bank book showing balances back two months. Suggest there is a "lost in translation" in this story. Keeping funds for 4 months would suggest perhaps a Fixed Deposit account. In any event. Story makes no sense and is guess work -
Visa run limits
DrJack54 replied to wornoutcowboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As pointed out he would require a visa however thinking your suggestion a good one. In my first 7 years in Thailand I went to Vietnam pretty much every month. During that time I (Oz) would buy 4 three month multi entry visas/year. From memory 80usd each. Think eVisa has came down in price. Never understand why folk have desire to spend as much time as possible in Thailand. -
800k Not In the Bank Method
DrJack54 replied to Forever Young's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's the best option. A border bounce without a reentry permit to then reenter visa exempt and apply for Non O at local immigration is also an option. However that would require to show 800k from abroad. Non O from outside Thailand better option. -
How to open a Bank account in 2025?
DrJack54 replied to BS25's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Great. Contact them tomorrow as I did some time ago... "No can do" Ask @ThaiVisaCentre if they can assist with opening Bank account without a Non O Thinking not. -
Visa run limits
DrJack54 replied to wornoutcowboy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You plan to visit these other countries via air and reenter via air? How long is the time frame? Meaning total stay in SEA over next 12 months? Sounds like 6 months in and 6 out. Currently borders closed with Cambodia however that should resolve at some point.. For a Non O in own country the 800k does not need to be in Thai Bank . For 12 month extension it does. -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport

That's not uncommon. Immigration just being Lazy. Also not uncommon. -
800k Not In the Bank Method
DrJack54 replied to Forever Young's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When you apply for extension the financial requirements are checked retrospectively. Non compliance will be obvious -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Read my previous advice. Do not leave transfer of stamps till next extension application. Do beforehand. Why not do it now. Don't follow your questions. Then also update your bank. TDL not important. -

No. The OP in this thread lists required docs and link to form some offices use. https://aseannow.com/topic/1331063-transfer-immigration-stamps-to-new-passport-third-passport-while-living-in-los/ -

BKK Bank 4 months banked method??
DrJack54 replied to homemade514's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Nonsense. For extension based on marriage the requirement is 400k in Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months prior to application and maintained during under consideration period. -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You would need to have stamps transferred prior (or same time) as any dealings with immigration. For example to obtain COR, Extension etc. Suggest you do it prior to extension and update information with your bank -
Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not at most immigration offices. https://aseannow.com/topic/1336167-transfer-of-information-from-old-passport-to-new-passport/ Just more immigration offices making their own rules. -

Transfering Visa from old to new passport
DrJack54 replied to sqwakvfr's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thanks for report. Not sure why you would be surprised by required insurance to show compliance. Year back I did my transfer at CW. Extensions from a Non O. In addition to the requirements on the form they wanted photocopies of bank book pages back to current extension + bank book update. This would be to show financial compliance. Just typical rubbish from immigration. Add things Willy Nillie and don't indicate the change on the form -
Stop Complaining
DrJack54 replied to rogerpattaya's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
With some folks banging on about mowing their own lawns or "making a day of it" in reference to in person reporting or pointing out their immigration has drive through option. What is not mentioned is those that do not have drive through. Those with mobility issues where for example a trip to CW and the Massive office is an extreme challenge. Again it's plain incompetence that an online reporting system requires in person report after trip abroad. This is not complaining but rather telling/asking immigration to develop systems that work and also have a point. What does 90 day reporting actually achieve. The same could be said about TM30. Answer: NOTHING. -
Stop Complaining
DrJack54 replied to rogerpattaya's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
One could use the word "complain" however it's more about zero attempt to streamline things that is "mind boggling" The simple fact that Thai online 90 day reporting can not cope with a trip abroad and requires a trip in person to immigration to reset the clock is the ridiculous part. I'm sure the IT expert expats here must get a laugh out of how hopeless some things are done. -

DrJack54 replied to rogerpattaya's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Seems that you never take trips outside of Thailand. Currently if you do travel abroad the first 90 report must be done in person. I regard that as an issue as usually travel a lot. -
