Thailand Elite Criminal Background-Help
DrJack54 replied to Cayffano's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Currently there are very limited options. For example I previously obtained 3 month multi entry to Vietnam. Now not available. Thinking that you could check out Philippines -
Was a simple question which you avoided. What service would you be attending immigration. For me it's pretty much once a year for annual extensions..

Thailand Elite Criminal Background-Help
DrJack54 replied to Cayffano's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Correct ..you cannot enter Thailand visa exempt. Don't you need to serve out your current probation prior to international travel. Seriously your post seems nonsensical. At 25 how do you support yourself in Asia. No long term options for you in Thailand. -
Any changes to Visa on arrival in 2023
DrJack54 replied to organicman's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So why start your thread. As others have pointed out ...you are unaware of the requirements flying without visa and entering visa exempt (it's not visa on arrival) Then post clever (not) way to get around onward flight. Go for it. -
Samut Prakan is a rubbish immigration office. Not the only one. BTW you did not indicate what service you were after. If a 30 extension then yes a TM30 would be necessary

First point everything is back to normal since covid. More importantly is that clearly you have no idea regarding flying visa exempt. The airline from Oz most likely will require you to have onward flight within 30 days. Which airline is your flight?

DrJack54 replied to organicman's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
TBH your OP is very naive and certainly not someone with your stated wealth of experience. Perhaps in the past you have obtained a tourist visa to visit Thailand. 20 visits to Thailand and you are not aware of 30 day extension?? As for the other part of carry on....again that's just ignorance. The rules for Jetstar and Virgin clearly stated. No excuse. Which airline are you using from Oz to Thailand. My guess not Virgin -

Visa exempt entry is 30 days. You can obtain a 30 day extention from immigration office where you are staying. You will need a TM30 from your hotel. 1900baht. Be aware that for departure your airline will almost certainly require you to show onward/return flight. Jetstar? -
No. I have never made a TM30 and never provided house book etc. My first ever extension I provided rental agreement. Also for my first 7 years in Thailand never did a 90 report due to very frequent travel in/out Thailand. Since covid obviously have done 90 day reports and obtained certificate of residence etc . None of which required a TM30.

In 2019 Immigration had change of head guy (big joke). It's the norm in Thailand that when new big boss moves into new position a "change" needs to be demonstrated. It did not last long.

One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.

I just now did a dry run on the site I mentioned previously. It literally took seconds to get to the "confirm and pay" They are issued instantly. He will be asked. -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You would not miss your flight. You would step away from check in and either book the cheapest flight out of Thailand OR Buy a rent a flight ticket from company such as "onwardfligh.com" Both work. As for you comment about your experience landing in Bangkok and being asked for ticket. That was boarding pass for the flight you arrived on. That's a standard requirement. The onward flight was not required by the io.. -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Jetstar will ask for onward flight. I suggest explain to clerk at check in that intends to obtain 30 day extension and also show his return flight. Thinking he will be fine. Fall back plan would be to step away from check in and book a flight using companies such as "onwardticket.com" Takes minutes. Obviously needs wifi and card to pay. -

Changing marriage extension to retirement
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Correct. Even if he remained in Thailand there is little likely hood of any repercussions. Immigration is not notified of his divorce. The issue could arise if x wife wanted to cause problem for him. Best option would be to exit Thailand and consider his next step. If under 50 his options are limited. -

Go to immigration for what. Last thing he should do is go to immigration. He needs to exit Thailand without reentry permit. There will be no overstay fine.. -

One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes they expire. The online form has options but typically the expire in few/couple of days. You state.... "I am certain the airlines in NYC will require me to show an exit out of BKK ! ! ! " The airline at departure will not require an onward flight as you will have a tourist visa -
Regards marriage..there is 1. Non O based on marriage. Validity 90 days. 2. A ME Non O based on marriage Validity.12 months. 3. An extension from a non O. Valid for 12 months. It's hardly semantics. Advice varies on what you actually have.
