  1. @SunsetT you already have thread running and this thread I linked was for detailed report. You didn't read the thread.. In any event @BrandonJT has answered. For your eVisa application you can provide entry stamp to Laos. Also my reply in other thread that you need to attend Vientiane thai embassy for payment. BTW: ignore sprookers asking to help for instance approval 5k outside the embassy.
  2. Trolling post removed. Also thread just repeating previous advice.
  3. You are planning a 30 day extension to a SETV. Immigration will almost 100% not be interested in age of photo. Or you can pay 100b for four instant photos. Nonsense thread.
  4. You don't have a visa, you have a permission of stay. Yes you can apply for another 12 month extension up till day of expiry. So that's an option. I was confused with current status due to previous thread of ME Non O in 2024. BTW excellent report however that option now off the table. You can apply for the 60 day extension as per your plan. You would need to apply for reentry permit after 60 day extension approval.
  5. None taken. Seems non Thai married couple. With son attending school the OP plans wife to be dependant. Hope OP (after success) gives full report. As will @brewsterbudgen This question comes up and first hand reports will be beneficial.
  6. It's not true. As some have posted.. most likely statement from an agent. However that's strange as agents generally do not deal with extension marriage. It's just a misunderstanding. Are you doing the extensions yourself meeting the financial requirements.
  7. All applications are done using e-Visa platform. Recent reports of folk obtaining eg Non O basically overnight. You attend the consulate to pay for application. After approval the eVisa is emailed to you. Make a hard copy and reenter Thailand. Recent thread here:
  8. When you obtain a new op (pp renewal) your old pp is cancelled however any valid visa, permission of stay, reentry permit etc remain valid. Which pp country. What is current turn around time for pp renewal. Check if country you are traveling to has restrictions on entry related to pp validity. Which immigration office. No. The departure date means nothing. The validity of the reentry permit has expiry same as current permission of stay. Note: when you eventually do the transfer... The visa (non O) is not transfered. Reference notes are made on first page of new pp. Some stamps are transferred
  9. OP, you have correct advice in posts above. From memory you deal with Rayong. You won't have an issue however good to run it past them. Your multi entry Non O is still valid? Did you consider a border bounce prior to visa expiry.
  10. You seem to have good understanding of what's required. For folk that did not have the embassy letter available in the main used money in bank method. In order to change to income method then at some point prior to doing next extension using money in bank they would start the 65k+ transfers. For the entire year they would run both options. Money in bank to show compliance and also able to show 12 monthly transfers. After that they can just do the income method. Now back to OP situation. I'm not aware of the "concessions" either immigration or your embassy may offer for this initial income method without the letter. Perhaps there will be some flexibility. Edit: I'm currently doing this myself. For my next extension I will show full compliance with money in the bank and also show over 12 months of transfers.
  11. You stated in relation to 2000k ... "They visited my house, have already checked and it's the normal amount." The normal amount is ZERO.
  12. Great then don't do a TM30 and when go for transfer you can wait till immigration asks for one.
  13. Not required in fact why bother update anything re TDL. Bank Account definitely. Just do the bank account update when you need to attend bank.
  14. Since you deal with problematic immigration office why not just do a tm30.
  15. Since he has been doing 90 day reports then he must currently be on a 12 month extension. So this extension coming up is not his first extension. Appears simple case of missed his expiry date and didn't apply for next extension. This happens and immigration can opt to allow payment of overstay fine. (as @Caldera explained) More common would be few days overstay. Today will be very interesting for him. Has he done a TM30 for this new address. One page left in pp is the wild card. Please post any update.
  16. Think this is just another "lost in translation" Certified for immigration can/is Signed copy of document in question. Be that a copy of id card or whatever..
  17. What clouds the issue is that thinking there was some "understanding" Shown during covid for this very situation. You could chat with future employer however suggest that you will need to exit Thailand to obtain Non B
  18. At a guess he had a 90 day stamp from a Non O? Has not done an extension. So this was to be his first? To even consider trying to obtain a 12 month extension the 800k must have been in bank for two mo tha to meet compliance. Your post is tad confusing. What do you mean.,.. What actually expired. The Non O or the 90 day stamp.Check passport to see date of current permission of stay. Given only one page remaining in pp then not good situation.
  19. Valid option. Has financial requirements for eVisa application. The funds do not need to be in Thai bank. Applying for a Non O inside Thailand requires funds in thai bank in your name only.
  20. https://aseannow.com/topic/1169847-change-non-ed-to-non-b-work-permit/
  21. OP you obtaining reentry permit at immigration or airport. If doing it at immigration... Just the usual basic. Copy Photo page pp. Copy of most recent entry stamp Copy of most recent visa if have one Copy of most recent extension if have one. Photo As usual check with immigration. Each office may have their own requirements. If doing it at airport pay 200b (optional service) together with pp. That's it. Airport no brainer IMO. Title of thread edited
