Correct. It's a confirmation email. It's pending

Do you mean received or approved.. Check "status" in the online login. Last window it has either Pending or approved or rejected

You can always do it in person. Inconvenient if not handy to immigration office. Someone will be along with advice. I'm waiting for approval but it's not coming (CW) I just tried to check pending/status and cannot log in. The log in page is not showing letter code to sign in

Yes tried that. In my photo posted earlier CS is cash withdrawal. TRN is not listed TR is "cheque or transfer" No mention of international transfer

Thanks for that. Will do the same. I always select the "long term stay in Thailand" .... I my post just prior to yours do you know what the "TRN" Code is in photo of my bank book?

Bit off topic ... however just had a look at my Kasikorn savings account current page Has ""TRN" Code for recent transfers using WISE.. Don't know what that means and it's not FTT.

Yes and a pain in.... Kasikorn is partner bank for WISE thinking Bangkok Bank aso is. Have read posts similar to your experience. Wonder if someone has been able to set up something with WISE that avoids this. Guessing you selected reason as the last option "long term stay" I'm interested as planning on switching from money in bank method to income method and don't want the trouble you and some others have had

He is not "probably" correct rather he IS correct. Here is a thread (very short) ...point is in my first post I have links to 3 threads. Give them a read and perhaps you might understand the process and realize it's not semantics at all.

Which immigration office

Bye on permanent ignore. So funny. Enjoy the trip

Surely you are new to Thailand

Your post is cryptic. PT and also Nonthaburi have had reports of COR not available. Think it's as simple of asking for a grease the wheels. If by private sector you mean agent I'm not so sure. Just flop out the dosh

Bye on permanent ignore.

As I posted. BritTim mentioned apply on Friday ... Also suggested make a separate trip another time. Have you even checked transport option to LP.. Guessing no. Leaving out the ridiculous weekend trip to LP.... You need to pick up passport when directed. Surely you know that. From first or second post .. @Gottfrid... You must pick it up on the assigned day. guess what . He is correct..

We are getting to the bottom of things. If you did not need the certificate of residence then you would do nothing. However as you need to attend immigration for your cor you need to file a TM30. Out of interest is the COR for bank a/c, TDL or ..…?

Ok so entered on a non O . Do you plan to apply for a 12 month extension? If Yes then you will need to provide a TM30 for your extension for current address in Phuket.

Your Op question was this .... "Is it possible to go back and pick up passport 3-4 days after submittal or must it be done the following day? Answer NO! Silly idea. That's why 90% have nothing to do with question. Is a silly question.

Most of your posts have been abrasive. BritTim gave good advice regarding visiting LP on separate dedicated trip.. Your plan for land travel Vientiane to LP and return for pp pickup is a nonsense idea. From your post above ... "I did not need you to give me my options but thanks" Clearly you do as you started a thread with silly plan and something you could have googled easily.

Depends on you status in Thailand also if you intend to have dealings with immigration.. You entered Thailand few weeks ago on what? Reentry permit, visa exempt, tourist visa etc

I have noticed few posts from @BritTim Thinking he has current info regards Penang. My pick would be HCMC. Requires appointment.

I also have a FD account For each extension I do the deposit which also is an update . At same time get the bank letter. Easy at CW as banks are on lower level.. Think you made a typo. The minimum deposit for most banks FD a/c is 1000baht..

Your posts are just a jumble. Maybe language based. Here is what happened to you... You entered Thailand with tourist visa. That gave you a 60 day permit stamp. With at least 15 days remaining on that permit (21 days at some offices) ..you obtained a non O retirement. That would have included doing a TM86. You would have needed to have 800k in your Thai bank account on day of application. That gives you a 90 day permission of stay. In the last 30 days of that permit with the money having been maintained in account for minimum 2 months you would apply for subsequent 12 month extension. You also stated in your first post this... "You "may" have luck getting the 90 day extension and then using that to open the bank account depending on the bank policy" This is another example of your confusion. You didn't "getting a 90 day extension" You obtained a non O retirement and that gave you a 90 day permit. The point is you require a Thai bank account in your name only to apply for non O in Thailand.

Many of your points are half right but in the main incorrect. Example the quoted text above. You do not take your current visa to immigration and obtain a 90 day extension. Having entered on either visa exempt or tourist visa you can attend immigration and obtain conversion to a non O retirement. You need a Thai bank account in your name only to obtain the non O using TM87 form for conversion from visa exempt entry or TM86 for entry with tourist visa for conversion. You require 800k in bank on day of application.

I'm actually going to do this for next extension November. I currently use money in bank method. I leave 800k all yr round in dedicated bank account) So in November (newt extension) I will continue with the 800k in bank for Nov 2023 right through to my next extension Nov 2024. I have just started 65k+ per month and will do that every month to Nov 2024.. At that point I can show CW immigration over 12+ monthly transfers. Also as back up I have the money in bank method covered. Oz pp so no income letter form embassy available. Not relevant but my reason is that I want seamless access of money in bank to my lovely partner without wills etc. EDIT: reading back over my post this is related to the OP as imo he cannot do the sort of plan I have outlined because he is using an agent. That will be clear to immigration. BTW OP, where were your stamps issued
