Visa expiration
DrJack54 replied to charleskerins's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You had one year (according to you) to organize departure within your current permission of stay. Irresponsible -
Visa expiration
DrJack54 replied to charleskerins's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So with all this time (1 year) you ask about 7 day overstay. Oh please. -
Visa expiration
DrJack54 replied to charleskerins's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I omitted one option in my first post. He could (maybe) do border bounce for another 30 day visa exempt entry. OP is thin on information -
Visa expiration
DrJack54 replied to charleskerins's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What visa type. If tourist visa it was used when you were stamped in. You have temporary permission of stay. Overstaying 7 days would be 3500b You pay on departure at airport. Not a big deal however you will have overstay stamp in pp To avoid that you could attend immigration and application for extension will be denied and granted 7 days to leave. It's not an extension. It's a get out of dodge. Assume you have used 30 day extension. Obviously you need stay VERY low when enter overstay. -

I would suggest that majority of retirees have established strong connection in Thailand, be that partner of things such as real estate etc Changing countries is not a light switch -

Don't doubt your account. By way of contrast that has never happened to me even as recently as this week. Kasikorn Bangkok -
Extension of stay Non O (marriage) Roi Et
DrJack54 replied to RC8's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Cannot comment on how helpful Roi Et will be. Seems you have the dates worked out. If you hadn't applied for non O marriage I would have suggested a non O retirement. No under consideration period and no ongoing home visits. -
Border run for 30 days visa exemption
DrJack54 replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes many countries receive 30 day stamp. (think you UK) Oz and USA folk require an eVisa which is also 30 days. -
From using an agent to self renewal of visa
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
In another thread marriage issues outlined. Perhaps a good reason to stick with based on retirement. Divorce invalidates permission of stay. -
From using an agent to self renewal of visa
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes it's vague. Here is cut/paste from ubonjoe post. In other threads I have read as little as 5 months. "Immigration will normally waive the requirement for proof it came from abroad if the 800k baht has been in the bank for a long time already. They put the transfer from abroad for a non-o visa application since there is no 2 months requirement. That was done to prevent people from borrowing the money or getting it from a friend." -

Not if the funds have been in Thailand for some time. In the OP,s situation the funds would have been in Thai bank account for a year -
Tourist Visa Stamp Received July 10, 2024
DrJack54 replied to koolkarl's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No such rule. That is from Siam Legal and not correct information -
Border run for 30 days visa exemption
DrJack54 replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's a Thai thing. By way of contrast, I can apply for multi entry eVisa for Vietnam from anywhere. No flights, accommodation details etc etc -
Border run for 30 days visa exemption
DrJack54 replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
A METV can only be obtained in home country or country where you have permanent Resident status. Some threads discuss/ask ways to apply for METV (eVisa) while not in your country. Not good idea.. -
It is possible. Banks should accept a certificate of residence however this is not possible at CW as that office requires you to have made a 90 day report to obtain COR. One solution is to obtain a non O outside of Thailand and some banks will open a bank account based on non O. Also some folk use an agent to open a bank account. Approx 5k. However in recent times notice some agents not doing this in Bangkok. Previously Siam legal provided this service and currently not.

You are over thinking it. For annual extensions (retirement) using money in the bank method. Agents can do both assist you with you satisfying the financial requirements and also bypassing the financial requirements. The former we refer to as "hand holding" Of course you can do it yourself. May seem daunting however it's not really difficult
-
You guess incorrectly. For the 12 month extension the 800k needs to be in the bank account for two months prior to application for extension. The non O eVisa you obtain in the states will mean on entry to Thailand you will be stamped in for 90 days. As for transferring funds from home country to Thai bank account... WISE is a popular option.. When applying for non O retirement in Thailand you need to show funds came from abroad. For annual extensions that is not required using funds in bank method

From using an agent to self renewal of visa
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Of course. The financial requirements are checked retrospectively. As I posted earlier...one option is to border bounce without a reentry permit and start over obtaining a new non O from visa exempt entry. -
Certificate of Residence (CoR)
DrJack54 replied to SouthThailand's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That is incorrect. Obtained passport renewal couple of months back. Was not dependant on living in Thailand. The whole process was done via mail to my embassy in Bangkok. Very simple process. -

DrJack54 replied to Tom Vanderlay's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It did not. Currently you receive 30 day visa exempt entry via air and land border
