Indonesian entry stamp on arrival
DrJack54 replied to TTSIssues's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Onward flight for routes I mentioned absolutely required flying visa exempt. Don't ever recall recommending carry funds however good advice if flying visa exempt as takes out that option the io has for refused entry. I have never used a agent for extensions retirement. I use money in bank method and offer advice regarding agents to those that ask for it. Your general advice is often poor. -
Retirement Extension
DrJack54 replied to ConnectionNotGuaranteed's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Money shown coming from abroad not required for money in bank extension. Also note that if dealing with CW then Kasikorn has a branch there however SCB does not. Kasikorn is a partner bank for Wise. -

Good reason you are on ignore. I can guarantee that example flight from Saigon to Bangkok WILL require an onward flight if flying without visa or reentry permit.. -
Renewal of Retirement extension
DrJack54 replied to geejay's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
For Agents different rules apply. Seems that the OP is obtaining the extension himself. -
Retirement Extension
DrJack54 replied to ConnectionNotGuaranteed's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
For most the marriage option allows you to work and also the financials are far less onerous and of course for those under 50. For me the home visit along along with under consideration period would be enough reason to opt for based on retirement. -

That's where perhaps the confusion arose. Agents tend to use Bangkok Bank -
Retirement Extension
DrJack54 replied to ConnectionNotGuaranteed's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I vaguely recall that for the first cross over from based on marriage to based on retirement that you need to have your wife with you. Someone who has actually done this will be along. Of course the io will be happy with your change. Less work. -
Retirement Extension
DrJack54 replied to ConnectionNotGuaranteed's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Use your Kasikorn as you mention. Make sure it's increased to 800k 2 months prior to a application for extension based on retirement. -
I'm stating the rules. Not what some random io or office does. Previously a TM30 was required after returning from inter province AND travel outside of Thailand. Guess what. I have been in Thailand for 10 years and never ever done ONE TM30. I was dealing with CW and they were never strict on TM30. Point is my personal experience is irrelevant. I'm posting the rules. The need for TM30 for inter province and international travel was changed (think it was 2019)

Non O spousal Visa Qestion
DrJack54 replied to RunningFree's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It does require appointment and read a recent report that there was a (not insignificant) wait time. Folk might need to plan. -
If you have an address on file (eg from 90 reports etc) there is no need to file a TM30 after trips abroad or inter province. Regardless if you do not go straight to your home. However if you return from abroad on a new visa or visa exempt you should file a TM30.. The laws regarding TM30 were changed few years ago.

No. No

Very different. Don't Malaysians have unlimited land border entries? Also it's the Bangkok airports that sometimes have issues.

5 is way different to the OP 9. As stated earlier it depends on time out of Thailand. I suggest 3 to 6 back to back with only a couple of days out would be pure luck.

DrJack54 replied to TTSIssues's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You mention common visit for your wife For most farang a visa exempt flight from nearby countries would require an onward (return ) flight. What is your wife experience in this regard. With Indonesian pp I'm assume this is not required. -
Renewal of Retirement extension
DrJack54 replied to geejay's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thinking Jomtien is 30 days (stand corrected) . For many office if you can provide flight out they can let you apply for extension early. Your extension will be granted overnight at Jomtien and you can buy reentry permit at Jomtien immigration or airport. -
Laos/Cambodia Border Crossing
DrJack54 replied to Eddie45's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
British nationals do not need a visa to visit Malaysia. You will normally be given permission to stay for 3 months on arrival. from Google . -
9th time in 2022 via air visa exempt That might be a record. Even oil gas guys on month on/off are being told to obtain a visa. The important thing with history of stays in Thailand is time sent in Thailand and time in between those visits. Your point? BTW You join 35 minutes ago make first post then exit thread.

Working online in Thailand
DrJack54 replied to jingjingna's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you do not have Thai clients and can work online with your overseas customers then do nothing. Keep it to yourself. Of course that does not provide suitable visa to live in Thailand. -
