Overstay on Visa Exemption
DrJack54 replied to 1ricardsvp's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's a good outcome and played out as some posts suggested. As pointed out above the maximum fine for overstay is 20k. However there are various ban periods also. Keep in mind that what happened in your situation was for "short overstay" If it had been more significant eg 3 weeks then best approach would have been to exit via air asap and pay overstay at airport. -
Possibility to use Tourist eVisa?
DrJack54 replied to trax33's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You have couple of posts above that suggest it's not problem. I vaguely recall that you cannot enter via land or sea with eVisa. I did a search but not definitive. This topic has come up few times. Just my take on it: Think the intention was to apply for eVisa to Thailand from your own country. When you Google ..I read some examples .... Just one from the Netherlands consulate where it states that you are expected to be in that country during the application process. Thinking it's a loophole some are attempting to use. One report of UK guy obtaining eVisa for Thailand while he was in Turkey. Entered Thailand with connecting flight at Singapore. No problem.. -
Possibility for legally doing remote work
DrJack54 replied to fruitspunch's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Work online with O/S clients no issue. If you are 50+ obtain a non O based on retirement with annual extensions. If younger check out BOI visa options. Few threads regarding that. -
Thai e visa impossible
DrJack54 replied to supersomchai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's not an automatic extension. What he meant was that you can apply for 30 day extension and there is no reason why it would be refused. Cost 1900baht. After that another application for 60 day extension "to visit wife" is and option. Again 1900baht -
For extension based on marriage only 400k in bank for two months prior to application for extension and maintained durning under consideration period. If the financial requirements were the same for marriage and retirement NO ONE would extend based on marriage from a non O . The only group that would still opt for based on marriage is the folk doing extensions from a non O-A to avoid the insurance requirement.

400,000 baht bank account question

Where is it incorrect. Do you miss this part of my post. I stated the following.... "Suggest you chat with your immigration office. They might overlook the error." -
Back to back Tourist Visa - Savannahkhet
DrJack54 replied to lamush's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Bit depends on how much longer you wish to stay in Thailand. The two visa exempt entries via land with extensions gives you 4 months. It you are in loas trying for a second tourist visa not silly idea. If rejected the stamp wouldn't/shouldn't prevent land border entry. -
Well the dots are a long way apart but he means from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry apply for a non O retirement. That would give a 90 day stamp.

Back to back Tourist Visa - Savannahkhet
DrJack54 replied to lamush's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Well you can apply and if rejected enter via land. I assume that you haven't used your 2 visa exempt entries via land this calendar year. Obviously no Thai kids? -
Back to back Tourist Visa - Savannahkhet
DrJack54 replied to lamush's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So what about history in Thailand prior to your first tourist visa. Certainly PP Cambodia can refuse a second one. Savannakhet less likely. Hopefully someone with recent experience can add info. -
Start a thread when you have an remote idea of what you want. You are on ignore in record time.

Recent thread. .. https://aseannow.com/topic/1290699-border-bounce-from-mae-sai/

You can use an agent to avoid the 800k requirement. You still require a Thai bank account. In Bangkok that would be very difficult/impossible on visa exempt entry. Agent can obtain that. Embassy letter possibly only option. To do non O retirement application without agent... You require 800k in your Thai bank account on day of application. Again your thread is a guessing game. State your desired length of stay in Thailand and you will receive sensible replies.

You attend immigration office according to where you live. Not sure if you Nonthaburi or general Bangkok as you mentioned Silom Rd. Visa exempt extension for Bangkok you attend IT mall Laksi. You need basic passport pages also TM30. Also TM7 with photo and 1900baht. Note: skip the emoji it's childish.
-
Is this a wind up. You can obtain a 30 day extension to to your visa exempt entry. Extra 90 days would be only possible by applying for non O retirement or marriage. You also state .... "do I need to go to the office in Nonthaburi or is there another one closer to Silom Road?"... You attend immigration office depending on where you are staying. Won't reply further as thinking your post is a joke.

400,000 baht bank account question
DrJack54 replied to sagra's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If the accounts are with same bank they will do the "bank letter" showing ownership of both accounts in your name only and also both balances on ONE letter. 100baht Obviously if your immigration office requires 12 month bank statements you need that for both accounts. Some office may accept photocopies of both sets of bank book pages. -
Re-entry at immigration or airport?
DrJack54 replied to AustinRacing's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You stated the following.... “Everybody at lunch 12-1pm. Come back later. It would’ve been nice to have a sign or something so people can prepare rather than sitting outside' Which immigration office does not close from 12-1pm. You have done extensions previously? How would you not know that. -
400,000 baht bank account question
DrJack54 replied to sagra's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OP, do you have another bank account with same bank? If yes then just provide both accounts. If the account you mention is your only account then immigration will not accept. Have you obtained a 60 month extension to "visit Thai wife" If you have not then that would provide time for seasoning. Suggest you chat with your immigration office. They might overlook the error.
