That's not the point that the OP referring to. It's the opportunity cost of having the 800k earning very little in Thai bank A/C vs Having that amount in much better investment. Most simple example having money in super fund in own country. Approx 8%

90 Day Count Verification

Nup. You are referring to 90 report in person. The fine would be 2000b -
Retirement visa in country
DrJack54 replied to radjag's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You are just making stuff up. I obtained the 5 year TDL from 2 yr TDL at Chatuchak in April. Could not have been more simple. Not one reason for an agent. I speak zero Thai. Office staff there very helpful It does (at that time) involve one trip to make appointment and next day attend for test. Guess what ...it's a 2 day process even with agent. -
Money requirements for retirement visa
DrJack54 replied to Sue A's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is your post serious! Granted can be difficult to open a Thai bank account with only a tourist visa. After bank account is opened the banking side of extensions is basically irrelevant. Actually I'm doing my extension next week at CW.. The banking aspect is child's play. Go to bank lower lever request "Bank Letter" 100b Make small deposit and ask them to photocopy photocopy last page of bank book. Bank Statements if needed 200b. Kasikorn can do it on the spot. Bangkok bank do not. Done! In my book Bangkok bank not best option now that more immigration offices are asking for Bank Statements. Seems to me that you know very little regarding extensions based on retirement. Walk in the park. -
Retirement visa in country
DrJack54 replied to radjag's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The OP did not ask about agents. Rather he posted that he has obtained several "retirement extensions" he means extensions based on retirement. The OP would be well aware of option of using an agent. The peanut gallery of few posters seem to want to push personal preference of what suits them. -
Marriage extension and Non-O visa
DrJack54 replied to TPDH's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The difference is the seasoning of the funds For Non O the funds only need to be in bank on day of application. For the extension funds required to have been in bank for 2 months prior to day of application. There is one immigration office that is doing their own thing and requiring 2 months prior to application for the Non O. That is Jomtien. There are also couple of offices refusing to process application for Non O from visa exempt entry using TM87. Best to check with your immigration office. You would have no issue at eg CW. -
OP, here is an old thread, however at least it is Oz specific. Your thread most likely will be moved to General discussion forum..

Didn't you enter with a tourist visa? With a visa or reentry permit onward flight not required -

Not remotely funny. Which immigration office for you has been "flawless" Help the forum rather than post rubbish. -

90 Day Count Verification
DrJack54 replied to AAArdvark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It does not work perfectly. I made few online reports and process time varied by up to 15 days at CW and they were successful. My last two were rejected and forced to go in person. Even using autofill Tied of folk posting it's perfect! -
90 Day Count Verification
DrJack54 replied to AAArdvark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Exactly. This thread is in the stupid tread box. Myself and many others do 90 report 15 days prior to due date. Be that online or via mail option. Granted in person can be done 7 days post due date. Ridiculous thread. -

Indeed. Every time I do a copy-paste where last words are in enlarged and in BOLD font any type after that is same font. Not sure how to fix that. -
Flight ticket with 100% free cancellation
DrJack54 replied to zenplay's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Bang on. It depends on the route and airline. You fly from Brisbane to Bangkok and don't think you have mentioned airline. My guess not Jetstar. As for my post earlier I suggested just try a flight visa exempt from eg Saigon to Bangkok without onward flight using low cost airlines eg AirAsia etc. You won't be given a boarding pass. -
90 Day Count Verification
DrJack54 replied to AAArdvark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The post you quoted is correct. If using a count date calculator eg "90 days from Aug 23, 2023 Want to figure out the date that is exactly ninety days from Aug 23, 2023 without counting? Your starting date is August 23, 2023 so that means that 90 days later would be November 21, 2023"... I selected Aug 23 as it was my most recent 90 report in person. My receipt is not Nov 21. it's actually Nov 22. Seems count date starts day after application. 90 days from Aug 23, 2023 Want to figure out the date that is exactly ninety days from Aug 23, 2023 without counting? Your starting date is August 23, 2023 so that means that 90 days later would be November 21, 2023. -

DrJack54 replied to cubism001's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Boarding pass did not replace TM6. It was always a requirement prior to covid. Immigration just overlooked it as so many stupid travellers were not aware. Entries to some other countries also want to see boarding pass. Nothing to do with TM6
