Stop being silly. In all the immigration references they use the term. Non O retirement Non O marriage. Nowhere does it refer to.... Non O being over 50. I have already stated that you can work with a Non O retirement however not in Thailand.

I posted this above .... "Of course there are guys on non O retirement that work but not in Thailand. One example oil gas offshore workers.." The non O retirement short for non O based on retirement does not mean that you are retired.

Working in Thailand not a problem for non O marriage guys. Not the case for non O retirement. Of course there are guys on non O retirement that work but not in Thailand. One example oil gas offshore workers..

No. His extension is not based on being over 50. It's referred to non O based on retirement. One of the conditions of that visa is being over 50. He cannot work in Thailand with that visa. Same way as non O marriage. A condition of that visa is that you are married to Thai national.

Exactly !

Why feed into a troll. The post you replied to is a nonsense post completely off topic..

Please go back to Pub Forum.

Post something that relates to OP.

The thread is about having a non O extensions based on retirement and working. Very ridiculous when you think about it.

Not even close to my experience March of this year. I did the 5 yr license from the 2 year at Chatuchak. I posted link to thread with my experience earlier in this thread. In March there was no online booking. You attend transport office with your docs that are checked. You are correct re USA not providing "address letter" . A certificate of residence is required. You are then offered on the spot booking. I was able to book 9am next day. I asked about the online and QR Code. Was not required. There certainly was not a long video on day of test. Perhaps 30 minutes and went through the various physical tests such as eye color, breaking, spacial, etc Good that you pointed out expired Thai license was of use as I always thought the limit was one year expiry.. In my case the 2 year license was expired by couple of months and birth date was month prior. So for anyone not aware your 5 yr license starts from your NEXT birthday so it's actually 6 years..

Who cares. There are forms for things such as being aware of overstay etc. Just sign it. "Ours is not to reason why......"

OP there are photo/photocopy shops near Jomtien immigration. Walk into one on day you are applying for extension. They know what immigration want.

Exactly. Your post outlines ways to work in Thailand. The OP post does not. Tooth fairy story.

This thread is off. If the OP indeed has extension based on retirement he cannot work. The OP is confused.

Does my head in. One would think it's the opposite. Mugs like me on extensions need to obtain reentry permit at immigration and those that have PR have added perk of being able to obtain at airport. BTW Airport good option for many..

Not possible for permanent residency..

As a word of warning to others.. As usual not all immigration offices follow the rules. Vaguely recall CM still sticking with old law. This is far to common in Thailand so folk always need to keep an eye on their own immigration office.

Is explained in the OP of this thread. The rules for TM30 changed June 2020. https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/

No TM30 required. Don't forget to obtain reentry permit. You can do that at immigration or airport.

No new news here. Those without fast tract enter zone 2. On left side there is the reentry permit office. You then proceed to passport control. It has always been possible to enter via zone 1 and walk airside to Zone 2 for permit. Folk using fast tract take that option.

Dont know what you mean by "triple reentry" I was under the impression that the reentry permit was single or multiple for permanent residents and also had an extra form.. Believe TM22? Here is a short thread and ubonjoe has posted link to ongoing thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1268686-permanent-resident-re-entry-permit-validity/

Not so much posting advice. Bumping your thread. If you are referring to exit and return visa exempt also exit and obtain SETV etc .. Yes would eventually be stopped. What's the plan? Meaning how long do you wish to remain in Thailand

At that is ridiculous. That's my recommendation.

No such thing as a 3 month TV. Was probably a non O that gives a 90day permit. Agents cannot obtain a tourist visa from inside Thailand

Missed your earlier post. Understand now. Full driving test would not be simple. Good that he had agent As I suggested to OP in my first post. Without a home country license an agent best option
