  1. Correct. He is Oz . Good chance he is flying Jetstar and airline will almost certainly want to see onward flight. Options such as "rent a flight" discussed often. Some folk don't like that option
  2. You are not alone. It's an issue many face. I'm not sure how UK works but I've been in Thailand 10 years and progressively sold off assets. I have 4 rentals in Oz left and will sell them as tenants move out at various times. For example don't own a car in Oz. Regards bank accounts, super fund etc etc, I still maintain all of that. Transferring funds is easy. Just one person's opinion but I would go for it. By weather alone Thailand is great place for older bones. Frankly for me it's a no brainer. Especially as you have a Thai wife Regarding wife I like your thinking. Try and plan making it easy for her. I have a 10 year partner (not married) have already set her up with few condos and currently building VERY modest home up country. Live in Thailand after, all you can always visit Scotland when you want. Get rid of your assets there. Just one opinion.
  3. OP, both options will work as suggested by others. The first booking you have will be sufficient for SETV application. Many would suggest just enter visa exempt and obtain 30 day extension.
  4. Indeed it can. The one thing ( not 100% on this)... I have vague feeling that the very first extension from the non O-A has to be based on retirement. Subsequent annual extensions can be based on retirement or marriage. Obviously many married guys changed to based on marriage when the insurance Bomb hit non O-A folk. Manny non married guys exited Thailand to kill off the non O-A and obtain a Non O (retirement)
  5. OP, it's not exactly clear what you had. In any event it's expired. Yes you can enter visa exempt and use an agent to obtain a non O retirement and 12 month extension. If you want to exit Thailand and reenter during that 12 months you require a reentry permit. You cannot obtain a ME Non O in Thailand. From the address you mentioned in Pattaya seems you are referring to Maneerat visa agent Soi 13/2 Highly recommend by many.
  6. 2 months prior to date of application not date of expiry of current extension.
  7. Correct. It's a confirmation email. It's pending
  8. Do you mean received or approved.. Check "status" in the online login. Last window it has either Pending or approved or rejected
  9. 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
  10. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login Edit: OP just checking the links I posted. Don't seem to be loading.
  11. 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
  12. 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?
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. Bye on permanent ignore. So funny. Enjoy the trip
  17. 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
  18. 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..
  19. 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 ..…?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
