Would they move it over if you actual had moved to KK (Tm30 done etc etc etc) or would you then still have to go back to NK?

Good question. 

If you have extension already tm30 doesnt matter. You need to go where you have done extension.

Tm30 will effect your 90 days report place.

Online is a different story, I would not be surprised if the first online one with a new passport would fail. YMMV

i agree. im pretty sure it will fail. 

when i got my new passport the first thing my embassy here asked me if i want a letter from the embassy confirming the passport change and so on.. i think it was 450 baht. i said of course, sure. 

i think all embassies should ask you the same question and provide you with a letter. Its very easy to do. i dont understand why they dont or trying not to give you this letter.

Wait until you open a bank account.

 

My old passport almost invalidated my bank account. Different passport number at most banks here means they can not issue you a new debit card, but have to go to main branch and write a begging letter then wait 1 week.

 

i have an account with almost all of the banks in thailand, never had an issue with passport numbers. some asked to see the old passport and some not even bothered. 

But i had some problems with the bank book. it was branch related not passport numbers. 

I must say my most problems are from bangkok bank. im thinking to close all of my account there.

meanwhile Cambodia border is worse than ever, corruption, bribes, angry IOs, rejections etc.

well known like 10 years now... morning.. 

a question though: whats your plan to stay longer in thailand? thai cooking classes are fun i heard. lot videos on tiktok too

i dont know this will help or not OR will give you some ideas.

3-4 years ago i was using agency for my non-o marriage. they were doing my 90 days too. Never asked for tm30 just because they also did tm30 with the immigration they were doing extension or 90 days. So i dont know but if it was a must to show tm30 at that time probably they were using that documents they already did.

i stopped using agency 1 year now. did 1 90 days at the immigration and 1 online. when i went to do my 90 days at the immigration i also printed out my TM30 and gave them. IO didnt say anything and took all the documents.

i also noticed every people's documents they had TM30. im pretty sure. 

PS: @DrJack54 this was nonthaburi immigration.. i tagged you because you wondered for other IO reports. So i kind of think they want. it seems its different situation but better to know. 

also i would say now there is some really effort going on to catch over stays or agency user visa owners. 

So you were studying at a language school, and want to study at another one. Not trolling or joking but i was wondering your thai level now, any improvment?

Also again not trolling and wondering after you reach super thai level speaker level whats your plans? Cooking classes?

I have just done my 90 days online a week ago. It was so easy and fast. Applied on saturday and got my 90 days report on tuesday morning.

Maybe you can try.

Before this online i did at immigration. All they asked was my tm30 and passport copy and the old report

Preaper 2000 baht just in case.

Thats the fee for failing fill tm30 for long time. 

Im not sure but dont get surprise if they charge you extra 50 baht or they open the meter from 50. This is because they are airport taxi and its normal so dont think its kinda scam.

A suggestion from old experience: if you are planinng to do land border, dont even try cambodia. 

I have been refused like maybe 10 years ago and the reason was im abusing my visa. And i do believe IO was right but lol

Though yours is first multi so maybe wont be a problem.

Fair enough... IF so... why not just tell the truth ??... Poor language / communication ?

 

Why not just get the bosses phone number so the Op can speak with the ‘the boss’ directly and find out whats going on ???

 

 

probably its all about language and communication problems due to agency eng level VS OP thai level.

there is no thai company or agency or any business in thailand that will tell you the truth about whats going on. its thai way. 

though i wouldnt wait no more 1-2 weeks from today

A missing boss is not something to take lightly - if his passport is currently being used for illegal activities and he does not report its loss there could be serious issues.

I do not believe this is the case but letting a 3rd party have access to your passport is not a good idea in the best of cases - and a "missing boss" (if real) is a huge red light.

well obviously OP know about this agency or introduced by a friend or likewise. or even used it before. so that means most likely they are legit. Again most likely they are having problems with the immigration officer. probably he is busy or lazy to do. or maybe hes asking for more money.

missing boss thing is just something to earn more time. I dont know the english level of the agency or OP's thai level but by missing the agency guys most likely wanted to say they dont know where he is at the moment or they cannot reach him at the moment. 

i totally agree with your illegal activity warning though.

you dont need to worry about your visa because if the agency going to do that time on the passport has no importance. 

and i have friends using agencies. they all confirmed that this year things are really slow. normally they get their passport back in 4 weeks but this time it was 6 weeks. so i would say hang on and wait. there is no danger. the worst scenario is you will go to the police station and tell them you lost your passport then take the police report to your embassy. 

that cannot find the boss seems just a lie. if the boss was not around they would never tell you about this. they are just trying to earn some time. 

seems to me 2 different scenarios happening here:

a) they really lost your passport and trying to find it. this is a very common thing even with the best known agencies. 

b) they are just waiting your passport from the immigration

just wait another 1 or 2 weeks then if the passport is still with you go and file a lost report at the police station. meanwhile call the agency every 2-3 days. 

good luck

Google is your friend.

Hotels do tm30 via their computer system. So you dont need to do anything.

If you rent a house or likewise you need to do

Both options YOU must do your 90 days by yourself.

I believe the OP said he was going to do a border hop from Vietnam to get another time period there and he was coming to Thailand to do that; however, on that "border hop" to Thailand, he is hoping to get a visa exemption rather than use his 60-day evisa which he wants to use on a subsequent entry into Thailand.  Again, I don't know but I'd think that when they swipe his passport at immigration on his first entry (the border hop), I'd think his evisa would show up (presuming the Thai immigration computers issuing evisas is communicating with the Thai immigration entry computers....which I'd guess is a sure thing).  As to whether the OP can then successfully ask the immigration officer to simply give him an exempt stamp (versus using the evisa), heck if I know (but I somewhat doubt it).  Anyway, good luck OP....and report back here once you do your border hop to Thailand.

So is there such a thing to 'freeze' your visa and use exempt visa?? That would be cool. Imagine people get a visa but never use it till the expire date but keep using exemp visas..

A friend was in this situation. Your employers have done everything correctly.  It will not affect the renewal of the W.P. for your full-time job.

I would presume you need to pay tax on your part-time earnings, especially since they are in addition to those from your full-time job.

Thanks for the info

Hi guys,

a friend of mine is working at a university and he has a visa and work permit from this university. He got a pert time teaching from another university. 

part time university sent a letter to his full time university and asked if its ok they let him work with them and full time university accepted and send a letter to the part time university.

a week later part time university asked my friend's original passport and work permit so they can take it to the labor office and put a stamp or something similar to his work permit which will show he is working here as part time. So it will be 1 full time and 1 part time stamps on his work permit. part time university will show all the letters from both university's to labor office. 

his question is: will it effect his full time job or will harm his visa or work permit some how? If the answer is no will he pay tax for this because it will be on his work permit too. 

thanks

my  two friends are using the same agency for 2 years and full body (not legs) only torso photo always asked by the agency for 2 years. 

what are you smoking bro, i want too.. 

you were worrying about your residence ?! then you ended up extension of visa?! 

were you applying for thai residence and ended up visa extension or you got your thai residence?! 

you were worrying about you need to show residence to extend your visa? but ended up you got extension?!

huh???

The OP is asking questions about a currently available, and legal visa that he would be eligible to apply for.  He was just checking if there was a school offering it in Bangkok in preference to Chang Mai.

 

Jeesuz there are some petty creeps on this forum.  No wonder the bulk of long term members have left.  If it wasn't for Sheryl's participation here I would be gone also.

Well, the door is there. Please do so.
