  1. OP, Is this a serious thread. Join the 21st century. They have things called online banking, Google account, email accounts. Ability to book flights, accommodation and just about anything you can name on your smart phone in the comfort from anywhere. You can also file your TM47 and view the confirmation email etc.
  2. Common misconception.
  3. That explains a lot. With your history or even much less history most folk would have advised against using Poi Pet. Even more so with your history. You don't state when you were last in Thailand, however if plan to return, I suggest you obtain a tourist visa. Bit unrelated ..someone asked about what happens when refused entry entering via air. You don't get to choose where you fly to. You fly back to point of departure.
  4. Incorrect. There are forms for "conversion" from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry to a non O retirement or marriage. Namely TM86 and TM87. Most of the rest of your post is misleading... You stated.... "I got an extension of my O visa a couple of months ago." Visas cannot be extended. You obtained an extension of your permission of stay. You also post..... "One requirement is a long term lease and my landlord reporting to Immigration that I am living there with my wife" Apart from this thread being about applying for a non O retirement..That statement is incorrect regarding lease.
  5. OP, did you receive this stamp at Poi Pet? Would help if you outlined your history of staying in Thailand. Where are you currently.
  6. What some folk have misunderstood is this OP entered visa exempt and planned to obtain a non O retirement. It is very unreasonable for immigration office to expect that a 12/6 month lease has been organized in first couple of weeks. As a result "common sense" immigration offices should accept a TM30 to apply for a Non O. This has been sufficient in many immigration offices.
  7. At OP ... You currently viewing topic. If you engage more details some experts on Permanent Residence may assist.
  8. Why "if they are nice" ? The OP is entitled to obtain 60 day extension to visit wife. Nothing nice about it. It's immigration rules.
  9. Seems similar tech in car batteries.
  10. Muskie lost 13 billion in 24 hours.
  11. OP, there is very detailed thread here. Has a lazy 170 pages. https://aseannow.com/topic/74654-cameratas-guide-to-the-permanent-residence-process/
  12. Ha! I Completely misread the OP. Embarrassing. Replying to too many posts UT airport to friendship bridge. ????
  13. Pre covid there were minivan from UT airport to Nong Khai. I suggest you just wing it. If long wait at airport then take taxi to Central Plaza or Bus Depot which is one block away. If it's just a border bounce check out return taxi deal
  14. Folk with ED Non O have same reentry stamp. RE does not reference retirement.
  15. There was report month back. Elderly lady did fly to KL and turn around flight back to BKK same day. Had a horrible time being interviewed. Stupid idea. Her son sent her. Never understand the need to return to Thailand so quickly. Go to a joint like Saigon and spend few days mini holiday.
  16. It's always guesswork in Thailand. Rayong for example has bad reports regards online 90 day reporting. (unless I have mixed that up with another imm office) The fact is TM30 should be sufficient given that many taking same pathway as you are in process of deciding where to sign a lease.
  17. The OP seems to have entered on visa exempt or tourist visa and subsequently applying for non O retirement. A TM30 should have been accepted. Unfortunately he is dealing with mad hatter immigration office AKA Jomtien. Read BritTim post above. Your post is not helpful.
  18. What I meant is much less work for immigration.
  19. That's so true and weird in my thinking. If rejected he should ask to see the higher level io. At CW they are the ones at rear of L desks. The OP's immigration office surely has similar set up on much smaller scale. Perhaps the OP could mention he plans to switch to marriage if retirement not an option. Might give the io incentive as much less paperwork for retirement.
  20. The rules for the financials is crystal clear and OP is aware of them. Zero point in reading the requirements on website.
  21. OK skip the idea of two accounts. One more thing. If you have no joy with immigration ... Have you used your 60 day extension to visit wife. That would provide 2 months of seasoning. Then obtain extension based on retirement.
  22. Tick Tock. Best go asap to find out if the small short time withdrawal will be overlooked. Did you reply to option of supplying 2 bank accounts. Obviously would need to be in your name only.
  23. I understand what you are pointing out however.... Assuming that this 20k withdrawal was done recently, I recall (think it was uj) stating that the balance could be as low as 400k in the 2 months prior to changing from based on retirement to based on marriage. Folk doing that I always suggest stick with the 800k for two months prior to application just to be on safe side.. If withdrawal was recent , don't think issue for the OP.
