Photos Needed For Retirement Visa Extension
DrJack54 replied to paddypower's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
There is no written requirements that I'm aware of other than size. Some offices insist on blue background. Always good option to mention your immigration office. -
You should have obtained a METV However perhaps not enough time now. You can enter visa exempt and obtain extensions to each entry into Thailand using visa exempt and tourist visa entries. Can string that out for 8 months however not best option.

One way onward travel required?
DrJack54 replied to raptorea's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No offense to your friend however let him know that his advice is wrong. Many folk are opting to obtain non O after entry to Thailand. The option of obtaining non O in home country is certainly also an option. -

DrJack54 replied to raptorea's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's an option. The fact that MANY choose to obtain the non O in Thailand speaks volumes Also poster mentions use of agent. Most likely best option is to have agent handle it all. Onward flight is a minor issue covered in many threads. -
METV Validity (Clarification)
DrJack54 replied to aldriglikvid's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
As you would be aware.....by exiting and reenter just prior to visa expiry you would be stamped in for another 60 and that can be extended by 30 days. Approx up to 9 month stay. Ripper visa option for some folk. -

Common mistake is to apply too early. Visa valid from date of issue. -
90 day reporting funds in bank
DrJack54 replied to Larryst's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's hit and miss and even if you were given a return report date just ignore it -
90 day reporting funds in bank
DrJack54 replied to Larryst's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Throw it away. Ignore it. -
I dont need to. I have done this in Bangkok myself. All the old nonsense of take a Thai (of note) or existing customer etc etc does not work anymore. There may be some back of Bourke banks that will open an account without a certificate of residence (or embassy letter) in most provinces the residence certificate will be required.

90 day report has nothing to do with your extension. Apart from the face they will want to see your current receipt. Extensions do not reset your 90 day report. It's only linked for your first extension. There are some immigration offices that do the report at time of extension. Causes more confusion than help imo. For a very brief period CW were doing the 90 day report at the same time. Think it was tied up with covid. In any event the 90 day report desk is separate from the L extension desks.

Switching Immigration Offices.
DrJack54 replied to CapraIbex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I would as referring to no consequences of not going back to Jomtien for 3 month check. That assumes that you maintained the 800k+ requirement. Your friend by the sound of it did not. -

DrJack54 replied to CapraIbex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not for all banks.. Think Bangkok Bank takes days+ With a dedicated bank account maintaining 800k + baht all year long bank statements is a joke. Also this was a new trick at CW. -
Switching Immigration Offices.
DrJack54 replied to CapraIbex's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's exactly the recommended way to do things. Some offices are asking for bank statements now. Previously I never had this requirement at CW however my most recent extension they wanted bank statements as there were months when there was zero activity. I use a dedicated bank account for immigration. Rubbish requirement by them to demand bank statements. As for Jomtien requiring you to return for 3 month bank check there are no consequences for not doing that. -

Change of address. TM30 form for your new address. Best to do all your immigration business where you live. Including annual extensions and 90 reports. -
Any updates of Savannakhet visa in 2023?
DrJack54 replied to Honthy's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just checked back your posts. You asked exact same question re 2022.... Here Also I asked exact same question re ...."What type of visa" There is non O based on marriage (single entry) provides a 90 day stamp upon enter. There is a non O based on marriage Multiple entry visa valid for 12 months. There is a non O based on retirement that provides single entry stamp 90 days. Helps if you actually explain what you are looking for. As for Savannakhet nothing has changed. -

What do you mean retirement visa. What are you applying for? Perhaps knock off the super enlarged font.
