Tick car drivers license on form. That will do. In Bangkok the cost is 200baht and will be mailed out. May take 2 weeks however most likely 1.. You must have made a 90 day report to obtain a residence certificate in Bangkok.

You can obtain a non O retirement inside Thailand having entered visa exempt or with tourist visa. You can also obtain non O at some Thai consulates/embassies. Yes you will need to start over however one option would be to enter visa exempt and with funds already in bank apply for non O and subsequent 12 month extension. As for using income method for the first extension think you will find that you need to use money in bank method. I assume your non O is based on retirement.

Your over 50. You can enter with a tourist visa and obtain non O based on retirement. You will require a Thai bank account and have 800k in bank on day of application. You would then obtain a 12 month extension. Financials required. If all that is not possible then use an agent.

Thankyou for excellent report. Yes under consideration is back in vogue. I guess cup half full best approach.

It's an understandable concern, however these are covid times. Previous stay is not typical. I would be amazed if you were refused entry with a visa.

Perhaps she thought your dial would scare the customers.

Airline staff wouldn't know what a work permit is. It's hit and miss with airlines. Some insist on onward flight. One option is to book one on the spot if required. Obviously would need internet for booking and payment.

The onward flight is for the airline at departure not Thai immigration on arrival.

Currently you would only require 10k covid insurance cover for 30 days. No nothing else required if your vaccinated apart from Thailand Pass. You would need to purchase reentry permit.

Turkish citizens receive 30 day visa exempt entry to Thailand.

You won't have an issue entering with a visa. You could obtain the non O in UK or enter with a tourist visa and obtain non O in Thailand. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only?

It is

Personally I would obtain tourist visa.

Are you asking about what docs for 30 day extension? You need copies of identity page most recent entry stamp and TM6. You may require a TM30. TM7 form and photo. As for land office you only need your pp.

OP, how long do you plan to stay in Thailand. If it's a couple of years then Non O-A is an option. If plan to to stay in Thailand ongoing you are better off with a non O retirement.

BTW thanks for report. Assist many. In my days of chasing time in Thailand, living in Bangkok I actually enjoyed trips to Saigon. Wasn't ridiculously more expensive that border runs. The benefit of border run via land is less stress to reenter Thailand.

Most of that is true.... With appointment you can avoid the doc check. Just go straight to desk #. Think it's L32. Will be on your appointment confirmation. Yes they will allow you to run downstairs if something is amiss. The added issue is often huge que at opening time. Good luck.

They have discretion. If someone applied 45+1 early most likely they would process the extension. Can be more early if for example show immigration office flight out of Thailand etc.

Did you even consider say appointment 10.30am allowing time to attend bank. CW can be fussy with update on day of application and also showing activity in bank book day of application. BTW take along hard copy of confirmation email. Not sure of current policy however previously the print out was required. Screenshot not cut it. Any photocopies etc can be obtained lower level with banks at print stall.

He entered on TV and has has 30 day extension. Now applying at CW for a covid extension. Please direct me to ONE recent post of someone with same situation refused a covid extension.

You appointment is 8.30am. How do you plan to obtain bank letter and make deposit into account to show activity on day of application?

The OP heading is CW. Jomtien is irrelevant.

You will need to have Stamps and visa info transfered first, prior to extension.

Your account is of little interest to the OP. His 30 day extension will start from end of his current permission of stay from his TV entry. End of....

Was not aware of that. Must check my cards. Indeed in Oz they just post out the new card and you can activate with online banking.
