2nd TV at Vientiane Thai Embassy
DrJack54 replied to SaiSagar3's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
My understanding is that VOA cannot be extended by 30 days however entry on a SETV granting 60 day stamp can be extended by 30 days for Indian nationals. Edit: from the OP post below seems my understanding was incorrect . From Thai immigration.,... extension of stay permit will not be longer than 7 days ; Sri Lanka ,India,...... -
Advice SETV or exempt?
DrJack54 replied to nummer1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The thing is if the tourist eVisa was rejected you could skip the trip. If approved you should not be refused entry. There are many threads regarding eVisa. You could start a thread you could ask for guidance. If you do it would be good idea to mention your country. Several threads regarding UK recently -

Don't like your chances using visa exempt entry. Does your country offer eVisa for Thailand (tourist visa) -

Indeed a brain fade by myself. Left out the 30 day extension to the visa exempt entry. -
2nd TV at Vientiane Thai Embassy
DrJack54 replied to SaiSagar3's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You did not overstay. You should have exited Thailand on or before Aug 6. IMO ....thinking you will not be given a second tourist visa at Vientiane. On the positive side another poster with extensive history was refused at Savannakhet and subsequently obtained a TV at Vientiane. -
Question on Visit the wife 60 days visa?
DrJack54 replied to sup3r1or's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You are very confused. The "60 day to visit wife" is a 60 day extension Your friend could do a border bounce and enter visa exempt and be given a 30 stamp and that can be extended by 60 to visit wife. He could do that twice per calendar year. So 30+60 and repeat= 180days. A better option (depending on how long he wants to stay) is posted by @aluc above -
He would be referring to "bank letter" As posted earlier I use two accounts an FD and a savings. My most recent extension was Nov last year. I provided photocopies of the pages of both accounts Immigration clerk had issue with my savings account. Then spoke with supervisor. She explained that my savings account and some months had zero transactions. I use dedicated accounts for immigration. The point is to your earlier question they were not interested in my FD account so thinking all you require is photocopies of pages of FD account. And yes this is New. Previously I just provided copies of bank book pages and many months had no entries. For those using savings account the Bank Statement would be 12 months. Yesterday Kasikorn told me they can do it on the day 200baht

SETV to Visa exempt same day by air
DrJack54 replied to Legendary510's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OP, ....some months back there was a report of some guy sent his elderly mother to KL and back same day for visa exempt entry. Don't recall her history (which is important) anyway immigration gave her much grief on arrival in Thailand. I never understand these threads. Spend a couple of nights. Assume it's Saigon you have in mind.. Ripper place and airport close to the fun district 1. -

It's a game. Jomtien immigration makes no record of you returning. Topic covered many times. -

DrJack54 replied to Gandtee's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Assume you are referring to Jomtien requiring you to come back to immigration 3 months after extension. Ignore it. That is a rubbish game from Jomtien. They can check it at your next extension. -

90 day report expiration
DrJack54 replied to Svadhistana's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Above answer correct. You can go tomorrow and take screenshot of the page where it shows "status"...in your case it will state "pending" and also date when you lodged it. The online that you already made at some stage most likely show "rejected" -
For years I used dedicated account for the 800k extension based on retirement at CW. All immigration required was photocopies of my bank book pages. Last year they told me that due to some months of zero entries they require bank statements. I asked to see supervisor. She accepted the application after some polite chit chat. Then was asked to write on my paper work that next year I would provide bank Statements. Edit: the above is regarding savings account. I actually have a FD (600k) and a savings account (200k+) They did not require bank Statements for the FD account. BTW: This was the first time ever that they wanted my TM47 receipt. They make up rubbish as they go along

To many visa on arrival?
DrJack54 replied to offset's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Explain how you entered Thailand. Visa exempt sometimes referred to visa waiver. Or Visa on Arrival. Assuming you entered visa exempt then with your travel pattern you could obtain as many visa exempt entry via air as often as you like. It's the time spent out of Thailand between visits to Thailand that's important. Folk can run into trouble with too many consecutive back to back entries -
Don't do it. Having stated that I have given Thai partner (10yr+) 3 condos and a townhouse (in her name) That sounds like big note myself it's not. The reason is that buying real estate in Thailand can be for various reasons. My example is to provide income for her when I depart. Buying for investment is (mostly) crazy. We rent in Bangkok same place 10 years, wouldn't dream of living in one of the purchased properties. Those properties will probably be worth the same in few years and difficult to sell.
