Tourist visa via www.thaievisa.go.th
DrJack54 replied to Thailand Tiger's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Given that information thinking you could look into obtaining a non O retirement in Oz. That would make opening a bank account in Thailand easier. Do you know where you plan to live in Thailand? -
British Embassy Affirmation of Residence
DrJack54 replied to FruitPudding's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I'm not sure. Bit off topic but....I was chatting with an Oz woman that happens to work at Oz embassy. Living in Bangkok for quite some time. Asked her about the "income letter" thing. Why did AU embassy stop providing that. She explained that Statutory declarations cannot be certified for use outside of Australia. Also should never have been providing that service. That's all according to her FWIW. -
From the OP.... "A foreign national recently resigned from a private Thai company to work for an NGO and obtained a Non-Immigrant "F" Visa to work for the said organization." It's the old "friend of mine" IMO a nonsense thread. Very vague at best. The OP has not posted since starting thread. Speaks volumes.

British Embassy Affirmation of Residence
DrJack54 replied to FruitPudding's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What are you typing about. Recent reports of an office charging 500b. Various immigration offices apply charge for certificate of residence from zero to whatever. Some offices (smaller ones) provide option on same day service. CW as one example only provide mail out service. Cost 200b. No other option I did this few weeks ago at CW and received COR in 5 days. -

It's part of living in Thailand. I go with the flow. Most I have seen posted is 500b. Can't recall the immigration office. CW is 200b and it's mailed out EMS. Cannot receive same day. -

AU embassy in Thailand does not provide confirmation of address. Apart from UK ...I think USA also stopped the address confirmation. I have only needed Oz embassy in Bangkok for renewal of passport and real estate sales in Oz. Expensive yes but no one cares. Bit similar with those embassies note supporting annual income statements. Both examples involve stamping Statutory declaration in case of AU and Affidavit in case of USA. That is not valid and previously misunderstood. -

Do you have an existing Thai bank account? You could consider entering Thailand visa exempt and applying for non O retirement in Thailand. You would need to be able to transfer 800k into your Thai bank. You would require 15 days + on your 30 day entry stamp to apply for the non O. To buy more time you could obtain a 30 day extension. -
This is what you need to do. Go to HH immigration office. I looked through past threads and can confirm reports of combo method being accepted at HH. Vaguely recall ubonjoe suggesting that monthly income equalling 400k for the year and the additional 400k for the required 2 months prior and 3 months post application being the recommended combo. They won't be happy. More work. This link is short but posts confirm possible combo at HH https://aseannow.com/topic/1262900-renew-retirement-non-o-combination-method/

Your first extension from a non O starts 90 day report clock. For that first extension some offices will accept a rental agreement. Some will want a TM30. Seems you are on 12 month extension from a non O. In that case you can travel to other provinces, stay away from your usual residence and do not need to file a TM30. Also you can travel internationally and "protect" your permission of stay with a reentry permit and when return you do NOT need to do a TM30. If you change your usual address eg move to new location (change of address) then you will do a TM30.

No. You can obtain a certificate of residence from your immigration office. The cost varies. -
Which immigration office
-
No. Note there are couple of immigration offices that are ignoring change to TM30 rules that changed in June 2020 regarding to overnight + stays in another province along with international travel. CM being one example.

Retirement extension Bangkok using income
DrJack54 replied to lopburi3's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The lady io that did my 90 day report didn't bat an eye when I showed her both applications. Put the COR form to one side and processed the Report. Was pleasantly surprised when she photocopied the TM47 . That's needed for the COR and she saved me trip downstairs to photocopy stall. -

DrJack54 replied to lopburi3's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes. As I understand things ...you cannot make appointment for COR at CW. I needed the COR for TDL renewal. So I made the appointment for 90 day report as I had trouble with online at that time.. The ticket lady at far right side of front desk just prior to 90 day report area gave me ticket with appointment time. Saw the io and showed her both applications. She did the 90 Report and photocopied the TM47 Receipt and then processed the COR. 200b. I received the COR via mail 5 days later.. This was done few weeks ago. -

We see many folk opting for extension based on retirement that have option of based on marriage. Guess it's just down to less requirements and paperwork. -
