Taking the plunge
DrJack54 replied to Padthaigoong's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If the agent is doing the 90 reports they won't do a change of address. The issue with the reports not being done where you live can have issues for such things as obtaining a TDL. Discuss with the agent that you use. -

OP, added note to the sound advice already given. When you register there is a temporary password given in email. Reset that to one more suitable.

Almost certainly the stamps will be obtained up country. It would be possible to do a change of address (TM30) to where you are living. -

DrJack54 replied to Padthaigoong's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Think you will find it is an "optional extra" Along with reentry permit and bank account -

You may wish to discuss 90 day reporting with the agent.. -

Complete nonsense. What is important is to use a well know company. From the OP...... "I am planning to go and see a well known agent ....." -

The first hit if using agent will be approx 30k which is for the non O and extention. Every year from then will be approx 15k per extension. Obviously you require a reentry permit. -
Onward flight unpopular forum opinion
DrJack54 replied to aussiexpat's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not brilliant at all. In fact if you read every post in the thread ...the op has realized his personal experience counts for very little. There currently is another thread outlining the issue. The OP is serial poster on this topic. Due to so many counter posts in this thread hopefully will cease bad advice. -
O retirement visa 800k seasoning
DrJack54 replied to Adelphi's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No. It needs to be back up to 800k two months prior to day of application. Has nothing to do with expiry of your permission of stay. -
Extension of Stay based upon Marriage
DrJack54 replied to spetersen's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Where do you live. That often is part of choosing agent -
My guess is this (ridiculous) thread will implode very soon. Better suited to general chat forum.

Didn't know that was an option.

Don't know how you do it Sheryl. Great memory. Yes I'm on anticoagulant due to previous two DVT and one PE. That was 5+ years ago. This blowout has certainly set me back few steps. Also now have numbness in genitals and general region. Just posting this to make people aware that sometimes we have setbacks. Hospital yesterday and they booked a MRI for Monday. Have decided to push that till I'm back in Oz November 18. Having said that my sister works in health and has advised that the wait times even for appointments with GP has grown significantly. Mention this for any Oz folk thinking that they can nip back to Australia for various treatments.

Plan you outline is fine. Since you are not married you need to tick the boxes as being the father. Obviously on birth certificate etc. The border entries you outline will work no issue.. You would obtain the extensions at immigration office where you are living.. You have your reasons re not going the marriage option. As you would be aware that is very simple way to obtain non O based on marriage in Thailand or ME Non O from Savannakhet.

Almost refused entry at Suvarnabhumi
DrJack54 replied to PattayaKevin's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
True. And in your first post you stated the following..... "I continued using a Non O after a divorce until it expired and never had any problems." If you had stated "I continued using a ME Non O ......." I would have known that you had a 12 month visa. In that case divorce does not cause an issue. -
Thanks for asking.... I am flying to Oz on November 18 . Already had to cancel one trip. As I mentioned in a thread I started some time back... Setbacks happen. In my case they said that I overdid it. Not sure about that.

90 day report question
DrJack54 replied to ASEANTraveler's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You cannot do your 90 day report in person just anywhere. Must be done at office where you live. However you can do the report via mail or online from anywhere in Thailand. -
Extend visa in arrival only once?
DrJack54 replied to Kammie's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Correct. You can obtain one 30 day extension per entry to Thailand. Your border bounce provides a new entry. -
Onward flight unpopular forum opinion
DrJack54 replied to aussiexpat's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If flying with a visa or reentry permit the airline at departure will NOT ask to see onward flight. If presenting with intention to enter Thailand visa exempt the airline MAY request to see onward flight.. On arrival in Thailand it would be rare for immigration to ask to see onward flight even if entering visa exempt. That is fact.
