Retirement visa / change of address
DrJack54 replied to djayz's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
He can not obtain certificate of residence in Bangkok without having done a TM47 at that office. Nakhon Ratchasima is an option. -
Retirement visa / change of address
DrJack54 replied to djayz's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You could try a change of address to where you live. That would require a TM30. As for your extension next year you will need to use as agent as the financials are check retrospectively over previous 12 months. As for exiting the country you need to obtain a reentry permit. In your case best done at departure. 1000b single reentry and 3800b multiple. If your embassy provides confirmation of address that can be used for TDL. What do you need certificate of residence for.. -
Jomtien's gone rogue on Non-Imm O visa
DrJack54 replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There are ~ 75 immigration offices. Can you rattle off a few offices imposing same rubbish as Jomtien. -
Jomtien's gone rogue on Non-Imm O visa
DrJack54 replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just a heads up. Every one of your posts in this thread has been incorrect information. Tourist Visas cannot be obtained in Thailand. The "conversion" from visa exempt entry or tourist visa entry to a non O marriage or retirement use forms TM87 and TM86 respectfully. That provides a 90 day stamp. The subsequent 12 month extension has different requirements for marriage and retirement. That's not what the thread is about. It's about Jomtien immigration imposing incorrect rule for funds in account on day of application for non O. -
30 Day Waivers How Many is too Many
DrJack54 replied to Eddie45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Folk with tourist visa sometimes need/want to exit for few days and return. You can buy a reentry permit to keep your permission of stay valid. Obtain at airport on departure or immigration office anytime. -

Yes. You can purchase reentry permits in Thailand.. -
Jomtien's gone rogue on Non-Imm O visa
DrJack54 replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What are you typing about. Jomtien are requiring two months seasoning of funds for non O. That makes process from visa exempt to non O impossible. The other 70+ offices only require the funds in bank on day of application for non O. I would be mad as hell dealing with that crackpot immigration office. -
Jomtien's gone rogue on Non-Imm O visa
DrJack54 replied to Pattaya57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It is not possible to obtain a tourist visa inside of Thailand. The only thing remotely related to 60 days is "60 day extension to visit Thai wife" -
Retirement extension at Cheang Wattana
DrJack54 replied to norbra's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I always attend the sit down desk for the bank letter. Side over bankbook and 200baht. Ask clerk to make 100deposit and the other 100b for bank letter. Ask her to kindly photocopy this updated bb page. Of course don't really need to say anything they know exactly what you need. OP can you list the documents that you provided? Was TM30 required? Did you provide bank statements or was photocopies of bank book pages sufficient? -
90 day reporting
DrJack54 replied to If I should die's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Received means little. You need to check status. Needs to change from "pending to approved" My current online report has been pending for a week (CW) .As a result I'm going Thursday to do one in person as now already 2 days past due date. Check with this link https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login -
Agents to open bank account
DrJack54 replied to ian carman's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That all well and good. Immigration offices vary and that would not work in Bangkok. CW requires a TM47 report to obtain a certificate of residence and hence for anyone on visa exempt entry or tourist visa they cannot open a bank account unless their embassy provides service to endorse address. That is when discussion of agents enters the game. -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Depends if it's an eVisa application or setv at a consulate. In both cases it's an easy work around. Basically can be side stepped. Do some research -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Apart from the fact that it's incorrect. While a reentry permit will indeed not require an onward flight so also would any visa Example SETV. That is not a "long term visa" -
He explained that in another thread. The reason being that AseanNow is full of negative folk just posting to pick holes. @Red Phoenix thanks for your excellent contributions.

One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Only posting this for others. Apart from flying into Thailand and asked for onward flight by airline. When flying out of Thailand visa exempt for Thai citizens to places such as Japan (where Thai have 15 day visa exempt entry) The airline requires flight out at boarding pass and again airside at gate. -
Changing extension from retired to married
DrJack54 replied to Klong Song's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can obtain a work permit while on extension from non O based upon marriage. -
60 Day Extension to Non O Based on Marriage
DrJack54 replied to jonnit's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
First up good post. Regarding this part I quoted. Yes indeed exit Thailand on USA pp since she entered Thailand on that visa. However next step is to straight away enter Laos. She would need to do that with Thai pp to reenter Thailand with her Thai pp. Perhaps that's possible. Might be problematic at land border. I posted earlier suggestion of flight out to Saigon and back after short stay. More bullet proof imo. -
30 Day Waivers How Many is too Many
DrJack54 replied to Eddie45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Of course nothing to do with METV. Everyone knows that gem can provide up to almost 9 months. That does not preclude additional options for longer stay. -
30 Day Waivers How Many is too Many
DrJack54 replied to Eddie45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The "even longer" is referring to other side salads such as visa exempt entries via land borders along with 30 day extensions. -
30 Day Waivers How Many is too Many
DrJack54 replied to Eddie45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Think you posted that you will be returning to UK. The METV is applied for in country of nationality or where you have permanent residence status. Since eVisa in UK there are threads discussing ways to sidestep that requirement. Suggest ignore that and obtain your METV while in UK -
Pouting land seller
DrJack54 replied to NorthernRyland's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
That's a valid point. Has happened to me one time in Thailand. Clearly the owner (in my case) was just testing the market. Happens. Unrelated but when I realized that I was going to live in Thailand and transporting a Harley was just impossible....I advertised it for sale for a great price (for buyer) Point is I very clearly stated Price was zero negotiable. My guess is in your deal owner has no desire to sell -
Pouting land seller
DrJack54 replied to NorthernRyland's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
I'm not. He owns the land and set a price. Yes normally price would be slightly inflated to allow for some haggle but that's not always the case. -
30 Day Waivers How Many is too Many
DrJack54 replied to Eddie45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
For a long stay you could consider a METV. That visa would enable you to stay in Thailand for 9 months and even longer -
Appointment at CW still needed?
DrJack54 replied to starbaseone1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
