  1. The situation outlined by the OP comes up regularly. Here is a thread with links to other similar threads regarding ...Lost/Stolen passport while on overstay. Step 1. Obtain police report. https://aseannow.com/topic/1344244-i-need-helpadvice-on-lost-passaport/#elControls_19398776_menu
  2. Off topic post removed. OP asked advice for someone on overstay and lost pp Stay on topic.
  3. Comments regarding opinion on anyone in overstay situation off topic and some have been removed.
  4. Some trolling posts along with replies removed
  5. 90 report should be possible after international travel and return using mail option. Note TM30 not required for mail report Note for CW folk..you need to post 15 days prior to due date
  6. OP, some folk have given best advice. @Phillip9 one example. You have not indicated exact number of days on overstay. To some extent that is only related to length of ban. He will need to deal with embassy to obtain emergency travel document and as posted earlier he will need report of lost/stolen pp. Flights to Malaysia not to expensive so guessing 20k overstay fine + flight + expenses in Bangkok till he can obtain travel doc etc etc Would be 40-50k
  7. If you are exiting Thailand via air do as advised in posts above. So are you planning on exiting via land border?
  8. @ttkeric suggest when you start a thread stick around for at least short period to clarify questions from posters
  9. You did not mention his passport country. Stated " We're Asians, so we blend into the scenery" Also mention in OP, the guy on overstay has no money.
  10. Thanks for report. This mirrors my experience Nov 5. No TM30 was asked for. She didn't even want the lease I had along with basic copies of pp..
  11. That's why I asked OP for report on his experience today
  12. If possible can you give report. Assume you didn't make appointment. What did you supply. How long did it take without appointment.
  13. Here is link to one of the legal firms to advice on your question and possible follow up questions. https://www.siam-legal.com/Business-in-Thailand/thailand-work-permit.php#:~:text=Before you can apply or,in country close to Thailand. A snippet from link above.... "Before you can apply or be issued with a work permit you must have a non-immigrant visa first. This is required to apply for a Thai work permit in the Kingdom"
  14. You need to have non immigrant visa to work in Thailand.
  15. Foreign transfer required for application for the Non O in Thailand. For the extensions the transfers do not need to be shown as transfers from abroad. Down the track if you ever change from "money in bank' method to "income method" then note for income method (retirement) the transfers need to be shown coming from abroad
  16. For the two months seasoning period you can withdraw/deposit funds as you wish, provided never below 800k
  17. That is correct. Your FIRST extension date counts as day 1. So you obtained extension Sept 29. Your starting date is September 29, 2024 so that means that 89 days later would be December 27, 2024. Attend CW prior to that date. Perhaps there are no appointments available prior to that date. You can report in person up to one week late and not receive a fine. Fine is 2000b
  18. Very true. OP, here is link for appointment. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ Make sure you do hard copy of your appointment. Take your filled out TM47 form and printed appointment to far right que at CW. You will be seen straight away. Without appointment it's horrible.
  19. Lost track of what you required. If it's open bank account using agent in Pattaya it's 4500-5k
  20. I misunderstood your post. You stated....."Chamchuri" You need to apply for 90 day report in person at CW
  21. If you want to do your 90 report at Jomitien then you need change of address (TM30)
  22. To do 90 report you need to have have TM30 for that office. Are you meaning Pattaya
  23. Should not be required. Assume you are doing the trip alone. Take some extra cash in case you get a squeeze for one night stay.
  24. The "soft power" options are a joke. I can deal with the online remote work. Not so much 5 yr visa to lean to make Pad Thai or mess around in a gym. Will be interesting to see how agents in Thailand assisting with DTV in places such a as Savannakhet will change when eVisa starts 2025
