Thai privilege (Elite) visa
DrJack54 replied to A free man's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You make a good point.. Even agents are advertising DTV for a price.. Granted it requires trip outside of Thailand. My thinking PE visa dead in the water unless huge price reduction. Trim off the fringe benefits would help eg golf -
Papers for 90 day report.

You can take them out. Have never understood why they staple them into pp in first place. -
Nothing has changed regarding reentry permit. You can see reentry permit desk just past passport control. On one of occasion I had solid que however they processed super fast. For 200b service fee they will do the TM8+ photo etc. Multi is 3800 Single is 1000 Plus service fee if you opt for that. By far best option over obtaining at CW Re immigration ques I have had two trips from DMK in August and was very light traffic. Re exiting and forgetting to obtain reentry permit in my experience over the years the immigration officer has always reminded me. Not that I needed it. Pretty stupid thing to do.

Here is thread regarding first 90 day report so in my first post add copy of last TM47 receipt. It's CW but covers most offices. Also what you will find is that immigration officer will just take one or two items that I listed. https://aseannow.com/topic/1297166-90-day-report/ -

My reason for changing to income method is that not married to long term Thai partner and want her to have no issue getting access to the 800k. With income method I have 120k transfered every month from my Oz bank and WISE transfer to my Thai Bank. As soon as it hits gets transfered into her account. Regarding reason for currently doing both methods is that since my mob AU does not provide income letter from embassy I need to show 12 monthly transfers at my next extension and I also need to adhere to financial requirements for current extension using money in bank method. Hence the overlap

Seems that you did not do the monthly transfers from Aug 24 (your current extension) I would have done it differently. Continued the transfers and 2 months prior to Aug 25 have 800k in Thailand bank account also continued the transfers up till application for next extension. Currently I'm doing the reverse to yourself and doing both methods simultaneously. Satisfying money in bank and will show 12 transfers at my next extension.

No need to ask immigration office. The only "income letter" from you embassy would assist with income method. Nothing provided to assist with "money in bank method" As mentioned UK, USA, AU do not provide income letter along with possibly some other embassies. -

You should look into more. It was the Thai side that wanted the embassies to "verify" the incomes. That's impossible. I think USA uses the word affidavit, Oz refer to it as "statutory declaration " ....turns out that can only be used in Australia. For example sale of real estate and embassy here can "verify " signature etc on legal docs. -
Extension longer than visa validity.

I have always been aware that Phuket immigration has not required insurance for extensions based on retirement where the non O-A was issued prior to certain year. The post I replied to from @chiang mai I took on face value as he stated that has never needed to obtain insurance from his long ago non O-A. As I have stated many times. ...post assistance to the forum or avoid posting

Surely they would accept 12 monthly 65k+ transfers shown by 12 month bank statement. -

There are two methods to satisfy financial requirements for extensions from a non O based on retirement and marriage. One is "funds in bank method" The other is "income method" Income method can be used both with embassy letter and without.. The only issue for folk without embassy letter you need to show 12 months of transfers already in bank account to do extension based on retirement (or marriage) UK, USA, AU citizens use income method. This is discussed often. In fact I'm currently changing from funds in bank to income.. In November I will show immigration that I BOTH satisfied money in bank method and ALSO 12 monthly transfers. Ongoing will be using income method. Meaning to maintain funds in Thai bank account. My reason (off topic) is to have zero funds tied up in Thailand to avoid providing WILL to make things easy for long term partner.
