14 days! It's not coming. Same for me for the last two. My due date was last Thursday and have appointment CW Next Wednesday. Rubbish system despite most have no issue. Here is link for appointment at CW. Works a treat If you use it made hard copy print of confirmation email. When you go to que desk go to far right side. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

His mobility issues if anything will get worse. If he wants to live ongoing in Thailand he could consider the use of agent in the future to obtain Non O retirement and ongoing extensions. No need to exit Thailand at all. Initial cost not minor given that he would also need agent to open a bank account however ongoing it's not serious money for annual extensions. Where does he live in Thailand?

Be aware that if you are obtaining reentry permit at DMK the office is past passport control. You can see the office just behind the immigration officer stamping you out.

Yes. The link you quoted me is just a link to that condo.. It also lists many others. Having read a second post where the OP confirms that his friend can't even ride on back of bike makes location #1. VT6 having exit/entry door to beach road and frontage to Second Rd hard to beat.

Bit off topic: Some folk might be interested in this guy's site. He has an accurate map of all the future transit (under construction) You can include it into your Google maps. Great when considering where to buy/rent etc. Google "Greg to differ" and look for transit map. Looks like this.

Have you actually made suggestions or just critise others. Yes the OP gave clear guidelines of what he is after. The guy does not have bike or car and possibly not safe even on back of bike. My first link was to VT6 and yes while it was 48sm and studio.... Do you think VT6 does not have bigger apartments. It was the name of a condo that would have many various options. In any event don't like your style of posting . On Ignore.

Not the point. You can narrow the search to any particular area. My Thai partner has couple of condos and a townhouse. I just asked her how she finds tenants. On the good old facebook she selects an area joins a group. The agents view these pages and try and find tenant. Back to the OP.... Most rentals are handled by agents for the "finder's fee" so to speak. Unlike the way rental agents in western countries where the agent is ongoing and ongoing commission. If someone wants to deal completely just direct owner he would to walk into a place like View Talay and they have listings on a board. Actually just rented one to a USA guy with 12 month lease. He with his Thai gf just walked into the office of our building and asked office manager what's available. The office managers are aware of what's going on in the building. She knew we had recently purchased and did complete makeover. Took this guy straight to our room and my partner and he discussed rental. She said this he said yes. The office manager received one month rent from the owner previous to us and making offers on our behalf. She also got one months rent when she introduced the USA guy.. So she received 17k for finding renter and doing the contract.

Here is one of possible thousands . There's a bloke called Mr Google. He has a lot. https://www.thailand-property.com/ads/1-bedroom-condo-for-rent-in-1-tower-pratumnak-pattaya-chonburi_0a45d6e5fac7-1950-8846-f8c4-043111d2

https://lazudi.com/th-en/chonburi/property/view-talay-6-condo-for-rent-in-central-pattaya-123876 Here is random add for 48 sqm Pictures look great. 18k seems to cheap. So yeah plenty of places available

Agree. I don't live Pattaya but frequent visitor. VT6 is on the beach and has largish rooms 48sm There is always rooms available for rent. For pool lovers it has enormous pool. Has direct access to beach road. Gate using key card. Fronts Second Rd so for someone without own car/bike can travel easily in both directions on the baht buses VERY close to central plaza. I like the Soi 7-9 area.

Or an error. But start a thread anyway. The thread heading doesn't even have a ? mark.

Never stated it was.

Stop being silly. In all the immigration references they use the term. Non O retirement Non O marriage. Nowhere does it refer to.... Non O being over 50. I have already stated that you can work with a Non O retirement however not in Thailand.

I posted this above .... "Of course there are guys on non O retirement that work but not in Thailand. One example oil gas offshore workers.." The non O retirement short for non O based on retirement does not mean that you are retired.

Working in Thailand not a problem for non O marriage guys. Not the case for non O retirement. Of course there are guys on non O retirement that work but not in Thailand. One example oil gas offshore workers..

No. His extension is not based on being over 50. It's referred to non O based on retirement. One of the conditions of that visa is being over 50. He cannot work in Thailand with that visa. Same way as non O marriage. A condition of that visa is that you are married to Thai national.

Exactly !

Why feed into a troll. The post you replied to is a nonsense post completely off topic..

Please go back to Pub Forum.

Post something that relates to OP.

The thread is about having a non O extensions based on retirement and working. Very ridiculous when you think about it.

Not even close to my experience March of this year. I did the 5 yr license from the 2 year at Chatuchak. I posted link to thread with my experience earlier in this thread. In March there was no online booking. You attend transport office with your docs that are checked. You are correct re USA not providing "address letter" . A certificate of residence is required. You are then offered on the spot booking. I was able to book 9am next day. I asked about the online and QR Code. Was not required. There certainly was not a long video on day of test. Perhaps 30 minutes and went through the various physical tests such as eye color, breaking, spacial, etc Good that you pointed out expired Thai license was of use as I always thought the limit was one year expiry.. In my case the 2 year license was expired by couple of months and birth date was month prior. So for anyone not aware your 5 yr license starts from your NEXT birthday so it's actually 6 years..

Who cares. There are forms for things such as being aware of overstay etc. Just sign it. "Ours is not to reason why......"

OP there are photo/photocopy shops near Jomtien immigration. Walk into one on day you are applying for extension. They know what immigration want.
