Be aware that at BKK and DMK they offer a "service fee" 200b and the provide the TM8 form and photo and fill in form. 

Note it's optional. 

Wow, so that's 24/7, right at the Immigration check out counter? 

200 thb is a bargain for the convinience. 🙂

If you mean reentry permit be aware you can obtain that at airport on day of departure.

 

I didn't know that useful info.

I've also learned from you that now I can make an appointment CW.

That must be new. Very cool.

Indeed.

We all have our own MO.

 

I make appointment for first slot after lunch CW.

Do banking and any photocopying prior to that on lower level.

Personally I do it all on day of application however have done it days prior in my initial years at CW. 

 

 

Thanks Dr Jack

I like to go super early with all my docs ready so I can be sure to get the IO extemsion and the exit permits all done the same day. 

I'll get the Bank letter a day or two prior, and after I've got my queue number, go to the ATM to get he passbook updated. 

Can I get the letter from the bank on one day, and the next day go to CW immigration super early, and get my passbook updated at the ATM there?

I’ve had a Non O for five years using the Embassy affidavit for income verification, but for next renewal I’m planning on using the 800k deposit method instead.

Me too, but their process has changed, IME. The return envelope showed up - I could not track it - and I noticed a second EMS sticker pasted over my original EMS sticker purchased at the PO.

 

After that I just added 40 baht in stamps to the return envelope and wrote "Via EMS" on it.

 

 

Interesting. Thank you for the update.

It happened to me on my last 90 days online report! What I did was to email the immigration asking what should I do! The same day they sent me the bill! I think you should try to email them asap!

Good idea. I've sent an email to [email protected]

Is that the eamil you used?

Maybe I'l get a response.

I sure don't want to waste a chunk of a day going up to CW or pay THB2,000 fine for filing "late". ????

Make a "plan" to go to CW tomorrow, but change your mind in the morning. 

 

The next report date slip will show up with your EMS driver. ????

 

So you bought a 37 baht EMS slip for your return envelope at the post office when you were mailing in your paperwork? If so, that tracking number is not applicable. They will stick a new EMS slip, with a different tracking number on it, over yours for the return trip. So there is no way to track the return envelope.  

I hope it shows up. I've tracked the return before with the original EMS # . Maybe this time it will be a different #, but either way it's very overdue.

do it online. takes a few minutes. 

I'd love to next time. But I've tried many times and just get stuck in a loop at https://www.immigration.go.th/en/?page_id=1666

Maybe that's the wrong link. 

What link do you use?

 Cheers

I've done it many times. Fill in the 90 day reg, with a stamped return envelope (registered), in a registered letter to Immigration at Lak Si. 

This time I can see online by the tracking number that they have recieved my envelope, but it's been a month and I have not recived the return letter,.

If I try to track the registered number with Thai Post, it does not show anything. 

What should I do? 

I can't get he Online service to work.

Should I just wait until my next 90 is due and file that like normal? 

Go all the way to Lak Si?

Obvioulsy I want to be compliant wth the laws, and don't want to pay a fine. I have a "Retirement Visa".

Any ideas?

Thanks!  ????

Mexico City is boring ?!?!?!?!?

He didn't even leave his hotel room.

The museums, the markets, the food, the dance, the Lucha Libre, the tequila and Mariachis, the parks, the architecture, the languages, the handicrafts, textiles, … shall I go on? Sure it’s polluted, but no worse than BKK. (Which is also a fantastic city, and similar in many ways to Mexico City.)

Sure, there are examples above where it has held, but there are many examples of short cuts in construction around here. A small tremor could easily knock down many AC units, even on cement block walls. But you’re building the room, and know where the units will be placed, so maybe incorporate some steel support during construction? Even if it’s visible, it can be painted and plastered so it looks good when finished. And it will be much safer.

But do you realistically think that will realistically happen in the foreseeable future?

 

It happened in Mexico City, which in many ways is a comparable metropolis, so yes, it could happen. If it's framed as helping older folk, with walkers and wheelchairs lots of Thais will sign on. 

BKK has almost no consideration for wheelchair users. Indeed often the barriers for motorcycles impede wheelchairs. The first step towards making BKK more wheelchair friendly is stopping motorcycles on pedestrian walkways. 

My Non O visa and passport expired on the same day, Aug 3^rd.

So I got a new passport on May 20^th.

My Embassy (Canada) returned my old passport (containing the Non O Visa) with a stamp in it indicating the new passport number.

Do I need to get the visa transferred now and go again, after July 4^th apply for a new extension?

Or can I go on the 4^th with the all the documents and apply for a new visa?

That would be a lot easier and save pages in my passport.

Of course that's effective! It will ensure people keep distant from you. It could be marketed as social distancing cream. 

We tend to complain a lot, especially about the Thai bureaucracy.

When a job is well done we must point it out.

The service I received at MedPark was first class.

In and out in less than an hour including the 30 minute wait. 

Efficient staff, excellent building, AZ jab, even the waiting chair was comfy. A+ !!!

Usually data is kept on a different server from the website anyway. (Different websites can access the data from one server)

In Europe some countries totally stopped vaccination plan because too many suffering of symptoms and death was resulting 

Do you have any facts to back up that assertion? 

I'm here on Non O extension for retirement.

I'm totally ok with paying the THB 500.

I've never paid into the Thai Social Security system, why should I get services for free? 

Question. When I return to my Condo in BKK, is my landlord supposed to register that I am back at my condo?

Sometimes I go out of BKK and stay in a hotel for a couple of days. The hotel presumably notifies Immigration that I am staying with them. 

I have a Non O

I'm registered at a condo in BKK.

(I've gone stayed out of town a few times and never thought about it. Haven't had any complaints at immigration, but wondering if what I'm doing is ok)

Cheers
