Time it takes to get triple re-entry at CW
DrJack54 replied to MikeyIdea's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Does my head in. One would think it's the opposite. Mugs like me on extensions need to obtain reentry permit at immigration and those that have PR have added perk of being able to obtain at airport. BTW Airport good option for many.. -

Re-entry Permit. Suvarnabhumi Airport??
DrJack54 replied to Gee Bangkok's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No new news here. Those without fast tract enter zone 2. On left side there is the reentry permit office. You then proceed to passport control. It has always been possible to enter via zone 1 and walk airside to Zone 2 for permit. Folk using fast tract take that option. -

Dont know what you mean by "triple reentry" I was under the impression that the reentry permit was single or multiple for permanent residents and also had an extra form.. Believe TM22? Here is a short thread and ubonjoe has posted link to ongoing thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1268686-permanent-resident-re-entry-permit-validity/ -
Education and O visa questions
DrJack54 replied to DonniePeverley's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not so much posting advice. Bumping your thread. If you are referring to exit and return visa exempt also exit and obtain SETV etc .. Yes would eventually be stopped. What's the plan? Meaning how long do you wish to remain in Thailand -

At that is ridiculous. That's my recommendation. -
Retirement visa from an agent
DrJack54 replied to JustAnotherFarang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No such thing as a 3 month TV. Was probably a non O that gives a 90day permit. Agents cannot obtain a tourist visa from inside Thailand -
Missed your earlier post. Understand now. Full driving test would not be simple. Good that he had agent As I suggested to OP in my first post. Without a home country license an agent best option

Pretty much disagree with most of your post. As I pointed out ....I also used an agent during covid and still sat in que from 8am. At that time there was was limit of farang applications per day. Think it was 50. With my agent BSR bikes I had ticket #1. That is covid times. 100% now you do not need an agent. Just hand holding. They do nothing as per my link to thread above. Fact your husband failed the test rules I cannot understand. What practical test? It's a color test, Break reaction test etc. How can you fail. Also there is a video that explains all parts of the test prior to doing the test. What was his issue that required agent ?

Pleasant surprise at Savannakhet
DrJack54 replied to kidneyw's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Nonsense. Mondays is generally busy day for most immigration offices. So your post was sensible. Applying on a Friday would mean obtain visa Monday at the earliest. The confused emoji was perhaps from a member of peanut gallery. Might be that he wondered why not include Thursday. Who cares. Move on -

I get those daily when I post accurate advice to a simple inquiry. With almost 60k posts why so concerned. Your post here was sensible advice. -
One Year Multiple Entry Non-O (Marriage)
DrJack54 replied to chesterubi1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes that is possible at friendship bridge. @BritTim post above correct. Some places (think Malaysia) require an overnight stay for a border bounce -
OP, when I first obtained my 2 year TDL I used BSR as being in covid times they were able to obtain an appointment. My advice is limited as my Oz license was valid and I see that your US license has expired. Given that I think you best to consult with agent such as BSR. The manager is USA guy and also staff can chat via messenger. What is your status in Thailand. The reason being that you need a certificate of residence as part of the application. That is not straightforward in Bangkok. Be aware that agent cannot do much for you. It's a hand holding exercise. You still need to obtain medical (5 minute thing) and own Certificate of Residence. USA embassy no longer provides address letter. I recently obtained the 5 year TDL and did that at Chatuchak transport office. If you are using that office note there is small medical office not far from entrance. It's an office just issuing medical certificate. Here is a thread and has report of my experience at Chatuchak in May. Also in thread discussion of certificate of residence. CW require a 90 day report to issue COR

Apply for Non O or Non O-A Visa?
DrJack54 replied to corona's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So is the ME Non O retirement available in the states as an eVisa (0ne year visa) I know it's available in UK. Pretty sure not available in AU If the OP can obtain one that would be good option.
