  1. This option posted by Tod Daniels in another thread. Also this thread. I would be flying https://aseannow.com/topic/1364639-border-runs-to-cambodia-temporarily-suspended/page/3/#findComment-19915968
  2. Surprise surprise. Your posts are off topic. Use an agent for extensions and deal with issues such as 90 report or do extensions yourself. Don't complain.
  3. The desk is far right side when you enter queue issue desk area. You need the form filled in. If you wish just go down to L1 and say to photocopy shop "certificate of residence" and hand over passport. It costs 200b Will be posted out ems in about 5 business days. If you have a lease then include that.. TM30 also good idea however you will find they may require nothing..
  4. As I posted earlier. Appointments available and recommended. Here is link for form https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=439173
  5. I'm not a mind reader. It's not clear what agent is actually doing. In any event take it up with your agent. Not happy with 500b then do it yourself
  6. To obtain a Non O marriage inside Thailand from visa, exempt or tourist visa entry you require 400k in Thai bank on day of application. That would give you a 90 day stamp. After funds have been in the bank for 2 months you can apply for 12 month extension. So to clarify: You are currently in Thailand? What do you have in pp. A visa exempt entry or....? How many days remaining on current permission of stay? Regards DTV that visa is obtained outside of Thailand. Nearby country or pp country. Not obtained in Thailand.
  7. No Yes and already pointed out a few times. Lazy error No idea why I posted 60days instead of the correct 2 months.
  8. OP, correct advice above . Where are you currently? Do you have a Thai bank account.
  9. Cheap. I deal with CW. After trip abroad and needing to attend in person it will take me half a day. I would be happy to pay 500b to have it done. To each their own.
  10. CW requiring a TM47 having been done to apply for a COR was true in the past. That requirement is no longer in place. Who told you and when... That CW requires 90 day report. Obtain your COR and apply for bank account. Suggest Kasikorn as one good option You can make appointment at CW here is link. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ I just checked and slots available every day.
  11. In some instances must be done in person, ie after return from travel abroad. Also is your agent also obtaining annual extension. What address is being used. In any event use of agent is optional.
  12. Yes that is an option. However as usual couple of exceptions. For example Jomtien were requiring the 800k to be in bank for 2 months to apply for the Non Of. In fact that is not the rule Only has to be in bank day prior prior to application. Not sure of that office current policy In addition an immigration can say "we don't issue Non O for visa exempt entry. Vaguely recall Samui having issues. Regards funds from abroad requirement that should be overlooked if funds in Thai bank for some time. Anyone obtaining the Non O at immigration office in Thailand should be aware that the first 12 month extension must be obtained at that office.
  13. I obtained my current extension last Nov (retirement money in bank) Anyway the gf accidentally dipped my balance by 2k below 800k . I said.. Do you realize I now have to exit Thailand and start over. Fortunately I overlooked that I had a dormant bank account with a lazy 10k that will get me out of jail. Financial compliance is very strict with immigration. The 2k dip was for 2 days. No way would immigration overlook that. Rubbish imo.
  14. What do you mean "if I use the 800k method now" Financial compliance is checked retrospectively. In February they will check financials back till start of current extension. Actually even 2 months prior to current extension. You could exit Thailand and start over with new Non O retirement
  15. Just advice for others... Siam Legal stopped offering open bank service in recent times. No idea why he bothered with border out/in. 2k max fine. Also why didn't agent deal with the 90 reporting.
  16. Are you asking about obtaining a Non O marriage eVisa? You should consider Savannakhet. Pay fee at embassy then apply online. Reports process almost overnight.
  17. Oh 100% best option. Funny how some items for extension marriage is a non issue for many yet by way of example I would not accept home visit. I would opt for retirement even if I was married.
  18. Pretty naive post IMO. Agents can deal with CW to obtain extension retirement without the financials. No issue. Granted slightly more expensive than Pattaya. CW charges 200b for COR. Granted that includes postage. Process time approx 5 days. I have had chit chat with same head io in extension desks for years. She sits at rear of L33
  19. You simplify the requirements almost implying that the financials are remotely similar. For extension marriage using money in bank method the 400k only needs to be seasoned for two months and can then be used. Very sweet deal. For extension retirement the 800k needs to be in the bank for 2 months prior + 3 months after extension and not below 400k in other months. Referred to as Apples and Oranges
  20. Just by way of a balanced review.. I had opposite experience. Back pre covid I was avid flyer/traveller. (late starter) As a result I would book a whole year of flights in the main with AirAsia and Jetstar. I had SOOOO many pre booked and paid flights with AA when covid hit. I swapped for credits for future flights zero issue. Jetstar on the other hand a disaster. Lost money. NZ is a mino country. What population 5m ? The route was cancelled. Not surprising
  21. Whatever forms they want signed then just do it. Not sure what you mean by "pension visa extension" Many folks do not receive a pension however can still use "income method" for extensions based on marriage or retirement.
  22. Ask in current thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1365787-bank-account-and-proof-of-visa-status/ This thread closed.
  23. Ta. My mistake. Read too quickly. Will delete post. Yes, the DTV would be an option. There are few agents offering package to Savannakhet and also to Cambodia. Not cheap.
  24. No. The requirements are clear. You just don't make the effort to understand the options.
