Vietnam Tourist Visa - why not easier?
DrJack54 replied to ronnie50's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Don't know why you think it's a scam. (haven't read the thread however) On the internet there are many "agent" sites. They are actually travel agent offices you see everywhere. Prior to eVisa you used one of these companies to obtain the "approval letter" Now it's a walk in the park. You must use the government site. You apply for the eVisa with entry date same as your flight. On the application it has depart date. If for example you are applying for 30 day tourist visa then it won't allow you to enter a date outside that window. You always enter the max length of stay allowed. Does not work same as SETV entry to Thailand. Don't understand the AirAsia bash. I have flown with them zillion times to Vietnam. No issue. The flight ticket re order of names you mention won't/shouldn't be an issue. Airline checks the eVisa print out against the passport. Yes you enter at the entry point you filled in on application. For others apply for e-Visa here https://evisa.gov.vn/ Process time approx 3-5 business days. For those needing urgent visa then apply with one of the agents listed on net. -
Vietnam Tourist Visa - why not easier?
DrJack54 replied to ronnie50's topic in Visas and migration to other countries
Correct. UK are 45 days visa exempt for Vietnam. -
Personally, would do it day or two prior. Earlier they may date the 7 from day of application. Yes not nice. As you would be aware ...each day of overstay is 500b. Some folk needing 2-3 days might just elect to pay the fine I risk is being nabbed. Unlikely. The OP needed 14 days . Should have done a border bounce.

Thinking he was asking about "starting over". Some posts suggesting obtaining a new non O . In any event his funds have been in Thailand for some time so he could start over.

Ocean Freight Shipping for relocation to the USA

Leave everything in Thailand. Rip the band aid -
The financial compliance is checked retrospectively. When the OP attends immigration for next extension, even if that extension is changed to based on marriage, the io will check the 800/400 compliance. My next extension (retirement) I will change to income method and will be able to show 12+ months of monthly transfers. However they will also check my compliance with the money in bank method. So both methods are run in tandem. Good explanation by Red Phoenix here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1294912-changing-extension-from-retired-to-married/#findComment-18083999

Can't seeing that working. He applied for extension based on retirement. Did not meet the financial requirements. He cannot now apply for extension based on marriage unless compliance for retirement shown for past 12 months.
-
No To be clear. Do you currently have a reentry permit? If you do you cannot exit to kill off the Non O. If you are clear that you didn't meet the financial requirements then I would not go to immigration. When does current permission of stay end?

Non o Visa Vientiane Laos.
DrJack54 replied to Wongkitlo's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
They should not. This has been asked about. Folk "saving" the eVisa and entering again later to activate the eVisa. Shouldn't be possible IMO. -
You can start over as you and post above outlined. You could opt for using agent and do the start over when it suits timing wise. Where are you located in Thailand. You could consider exit without a reentry permit and obtain non O at Thai consulate. Current thread where guy obtained Non O at Vientiane. Extremely quick turn around one day for approval. For application for Non O retirement inside Thailand you need show funds came from abroad. That is not required if you obtain the Non O eVisa outside of Thailand

Non o Visa Vientiane Laos.
DrJack54 replied to Wongkitlo's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just for advice to others.... despite your experience of not requiring to show print out of eVisa to enter via land crossing for those traveling by air you must print out the visa. Airline staff need it to check against your pp and also to check if it's valid. On arrival at airport in Thailand immigration will also check it.. -
Latest information on extending an "o" via
DrJack54 replied to roger101's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
@roger101 as, pointed out above. Extension of stay based on what. Meaning... Marriage, Retirement etc? Money in bank or income method? Which immigration office? -
Sounds naive. Buy clothing online. So how much baht are we talking here. On gift to smaller Thai friend and move on.

DrJack54 replied to Wongkitlo's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The ME was perfect option for roster workers. Oil/gas and mining for one example. One on month off was not suitable for Non O marriage extensions due to under consideration period. -

DrJack54 replied to Wongkitlo's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
@Wongkitlo think you mentioned that an agent offered "instant service" to obtain the Non O e-Visa for 5k. Do you think that was genuine. -
Why not. Do it online 15 days prior to due date. If you opt to skip you would also be fine. Correct. However must be done in person. You could try mail option
