DrJack54 replied to alphone2's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Good post. OP, the one thing you might use agent for is to open Thai bank account. Best option if enter visa exempt or tourist visa. -

Obtain tourist visa in Vientiane. Have you been to Penang. I wouldn't go even with free ticket. Better still take flight to Saigon.. Where are you located. -
Where to apply and what visa..
DrJack54 replied to Chriscycle's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Good summary of options. I like the first option. Enter visa exempt....... Has "Bungalow in Hua Hin" ....my guess couple of trips to immigration not a huge deal. -

Using agent to renew child / parent visa

Out of interest..what service, meaning type of extension that agent helped you with? The OP mentioned last resort was to use agent and BTW that is for extension based on Thai child. -
FINNAIR Arrival No Visa
DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Just in case you missed it. The OP stated this...... "He intends to come here with no VISA at all, but only the 30 days, and then do a so-called conversion.... The problem that might arise will be with the airline if he doesn't have a return ticket has" The return ticket has been pointed out to OP as "onward flight". The correct answers have been provided in thread. Along with some sidetracking. It's all about options to cover potential requirement from Airline to show onward flight for boarding visa exempt. -
When you deal with clerk ask for letter and also make 100 baht deposit. Explain you want the deposit then followed by letter. Should be 100+100(deposit) baht. Regarding bank statement.. which method are you using? Money in bank? ..should not require bank statements.. photocopies of bank book pages should suffice. Income method you need bank statements. Some banks cannot provide bank statements "on the spot" not sure about SCB.

Non O married extension renewal.
DrJack54 replied to overherebc's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
CW will accept one day prior bank letter. Some immigration officers what to see "activity" on day of application. Not just update. Is there issue with obtaining bank letter on the day of application? -

FINNAIR Arrival No Visa
DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If he had visa or extension based on marriage and reentry permit he would not be refused. If he is flying visa exempt without onward flight he could be refused. -
FINNAIR Arrival No Visa
DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Very quick with the "Not Correct". It depends on the airline. Some will ask for nothing. Some will require onward flight WITHIN 30 days. Some will allow 60 with the "plan of extension" explained. Some will allow you to sign a waiver. -
FINNAIR Arrival No Visa
DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The onward flight may be required by the AIRLINE at feparture if flying visa exempt. There are easy ways around this. Obviously one is to purchase a "rent a ticket" 15usd. -
can I withdraw any funds throughout the year?
DrJack54 replied to bannork's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
For extensions the money does not need to be shown to come from abroad -
FINNAIR Arrival No Visa
DrJack54 replied to glegolo18's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you are referring to the "problem solved" being the onward flight that's a minor issue. If he obtains a non O-A not sure if his first extension can be based on marriage. The non O-A itself requires insurance. His plan of enter visa exempt is good idea. -

Using agent to renew child / parent visa
DrJack54 replied to Kenny202's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No. Prior to expiry of 60 day extension you will apply for 12 month extension based on Thai child. The requirements for the 12 month extension will be exactly the same as the extension that you recently obtained. -
extension of NON-0 extension
DrJack54 replied to krabicriminal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No. You could do a border run for visa exempt entry and obtain 30 day extension. OR You could obtain a 12 month extension by meeting financial requirements When do you plan to return to Thailand after going back home. Edit: As uj asked...if you are a parent or married to Thai you can obtain 60 day extension to visit family.
