    Wasted Trip To Laos

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    We're already married in the UK and registered visa Kor Ror 22 in Bangkok but the Embassy in Laos/Our agent and every official don't seem to know what they are doing
     
    We gave the agent our Kor Ror which they photocopied....we have the original.
     
    The amphur in Bangkok insisted on keeping our original UK married certificate with all the MOFA stamps... I'm furious the more I think about this
    Get married again it's easy inexpensive and will end this problem. As for an agent I don't know we went by ourselves with appropriate paperwork and flew thru the process

    Wasted Trip To Laos

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Paid an agent 7900 visa run to Laos for a non immigrant 'o' based on marriage...furious at the moment...queued up and the agent/drivers came aroudn with the photos of our docs and I thought everything should be fine (already gone through the nightmare of getting the kor ror 22) ... pretty sure the agent put a photo copy of that in there for them.   Copy of our UK marriage certificate with all the stamps and translations
     
    Went back to the minibus to go to hotel and get down the road and driver gets phone call, they want the original marriage certificate which the Amphur in Bangkok insisted on keeping. However I gave the driver the colour photocopies of the marriage certificate with translation plus stamp from Amphur on... no go.  Wondering whether they wanted the original Kor Ror 22 the Amphur gave us which looks like a photocopy but has a blue stamp from the embassy so it must be the original
     
    Completely clueless embassy staff and visa agents and amphur staff...  told mini bus driver in the hotel the Kor Ror 22 is the original but he said its too late to take the Kor Ror 22 back to the embassy and he doesn't know what a Kor Ror 22 is I suspect.  Stuck with another tourist visa again
    Go get married at local district office. Get the colored bordered Thai certificate. I had no issues in savanaket. Wife's book and copy of her ID. If you are going to savanaket there is a guy across the street from embassy who photocopies everything and puts in correct folder. There is a list of everything you need somewhere in this section or get hold of ubonjoe he has all the info

    Retirement Visa

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Posted

    It’ll be interesting to see how this new change plays out.  I’m getting ready to return to SE Asia for retirement and will need to comply with whatever requirements they come up with.  I actually receive about 2x the required amount every month, not including investment income, so transferring the 65,000 baht per month wouldn’t be a problem, as I would normally spend more than that anyway.  Alternatively, I suppose I could just wire in the 800,000.  Anyway, for planning purposes it would be nice to have a clear and unambiguous set of rules.  
     
    infeel sorry for all the people caught up in a mess.  Imagine having property and then having to leave. 
    Actually the requirements haven't changed just the verification process. I'd be hard pressed to spend 65k a month over here, but then I don't drink or chase tail. My monthly bills here are right around 5k a month depending on how much I use my a.c..

    NO! Have you been reading these threads? Thailand needs proof that you are BRINGING INTO THAILAND an average of 65,000 per month, or that you have 800,000 in a Thai bank account. Theyre not interested in what you have back home, they want to see that youre bringing money into the country to cover your lifestyle. OK?
    That's what I figured. I go to savanaket for my marriage visa they don't ask for financial proof

    what's the current situation at savannaket?

    in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits

    Just returned Friday from there. Easiest experience I've had since I've been here. Copy of your passport your wife's ID and housebook and copy of marriage licence along with 2 pictures. Take all this stuff to the guy across the street pay him 80bhat he copies it and puts it together in a nice neat bundle for immigration. The only words spoken between the officer and me was "5000" baht please come back tomorrow after 1400. Simple hassle free
