i suggest you to find a new work.

yes, you need to cancel your non-b visa after ending your work. and yes, you will have max 7 days to leave the country after cancelling your non-b visa.

how to stay longer... basically there is no way if you have no job. Well, you dont have a thai wife.. and note 50 yrs old.

another option is ED visa. But what then? are you planning to stay for long time? or just for fun? you need to decide this. then act as needed.

thailand is not a FREE ENTRY and LIVE country. people need to understand this. asking how can i stay longer is a funny question. the answer is obvious: find something to get the right visa or the reason to stay.

if you are going to stay here longer, find a job its the best way. then find a lady you really love and trust and want to marry.. then the rest is yours.

good luck

I'm below 50, not married. I enjoy living here more than in my own country. I spend a lot of money here yearly. I have more than the retirement requirements in my account and in income. What do you want me to do?

 

I don't need to work, I have assets, cash and income from abroad that support me. I invested in condos here before their scheme for visa was up and running.

 

I had Elite before, did it make me more welcome here in your eyes because I spent 500k on a visa? Do you think I have to keep doing that until I have the privilege to be 50 and officially retire here?

I understand and respect your decision living in thailand and enjoying living here more than your home country. there is nothing funny or wrong about it.

Although you also must respect that a country needs a visa to live in. a visa type which gives you permission to live in a country which is not your country. Im sorry but to say i want to live here is.. just not enough.

you are simply trying to live in thailand with a tourist visa. its name on it. tourist. 

from your post its obvious you have no money problem. so why dont you just do a business and make a reason why you can stay in thailand instead of trying to stay in thailand?

this post is also for the OP. so many years on tourist visa, seriously whats your aim? what are you trying to do? 

with all respect but i really hope you cannot get TR visa. its just because it feels not fair for the people doing everything right to stay here or live here or work here. But people like you just trying to live here based on TR visas... i mean you dont work, no ED, no charity.. nothing.. common

its open

Hi,

first of all its sad to hear 12+ marriage might end. but trust me its not the end of the world.

second, as long as you guys are officially married you dont need to take any action. After divorce yes, you need to inform this to immigration and do what you can do to extend your visa. If you change your place, i would do a new TM30 nothing to lose but it will be good for you later. safety first.

speaking first hand, i strongly suggest not to stay marry but live separate and use the marriage visa. Thats what one of my friends did and it didnt ended up well for both sides. Both legally and personally. Had lot of issues and problems. 

you have mentioned you can extend as retirement, do it. it will make your head and minds clear about the visa which is the most important thing actually. also you will not stress yourself with what will happen IF questions. also you will get your visa freedom. 

I must say if a couple started about divorcing, there is nothing to do more. soon or later most likely it will end. So if i were you i would ended before breaking both side's feelings more... ended as a friend, thats better. If it comes to this, i strongly suggest to sign a contract for both sides sake. I know 12+ year wife and who else you can trust more. right? well its not like that trust me. after divorce if there is a house,car,etc. believe me it will be a problem, soon or later. but for sure. unless you sign a contract and decide who will take what. if there is nothing at all then no worries.

good luck

Depends on her allowances. 

 I estimate it would be approximately 90k baht if single, no kids, no charity payments etc

thanks, thats close what i was thinking. Like i said she started 2 years before me so your guess is kind of correct. that means shes making 20K more than me... hehe

The RD website has most of the info how to calculate tax, you could attempt this yourself if you know the detailed personal financial affairs about your friend.

 

Some would call that being a nosey parker and none of their business.

 

thanks for the info

i kind of can predict her salary because she started 2 years before me. i will check RD

yes, i know it looks not nice but couldnt control myself hahah

Hi,

I know this is not a good one but i cannot hold myself. Sorry

So today by accident i found out that my co-worker paid 60k for the tax. Account department cuts 750 baht from our salary every month for the tax and 500 for the social security. There are some other cuts if you use some services provided by the work.

Its close what i paid also.

I dont know the math here. Can someone tell me what's her salary ^ ^

Thanks

A couple of points, firstly it has nothing to do with immigration. If going to another country, it will need to be shown at airport checkin or to airline security. Here in Thailand it would be the Disease Control Officer at the airport. I have also been asked to show boarding the ferry to Koh Chang and at hotels.

You do not need the "book", can't quite remember who actually does those, MOPH?, but certainly not immigration.

A print out from your phone is as good as anywhere else provided the QR code on the printout is clear, if you scan the QR code it will take you to the certificate on the public health website. This is what a foreign agency may use for validity.

thank you for the info

There should be no problem showing your phone, I have done that in the UK.

It is worthwhile however to have a hard copy. I have been caught out twice with the app not opening because they had done an update, belt and braces so to speak.

As has been suggested the better option would be to get the International certificate which you can then print off from your phone.  

thank you,

i think yes, i will apply certificate from the app. That should do the magic.

Also thanks for the info about that showing the app is working fine with the immigration.

Why not take a screen shot and print it out yourself?   If the QR code is sharp, it should be be as good as a hospital printed copy.     

 

Or get the Covid Passport the govt will make for you.   

this is also what i was planning at first. Then i was not sure if they will accept that screen shot or print of it. Because there is no signature or else, but its coming from the app so must be legit. 

I can get that book too, but im not sure if i get it the same day i applied. I dont want to go come back and go again like immigration lol

On the Mor Prom App in the bottom left there is an ‘international vaccine certificate’ tab. 

Select that and apply for an international Vaccine certificate - that will be in English and show all your vaccines to day (IF your vaccines were received in Thailand, you can’t add vaccines received overseas to this). 

 

There is no need to go to hospital have have them sign an print out of your vaccines (unless your vaccines don’t show up on Mor Prom). 

 

 

[Note: this is not the yellow book - which isn’t really needed].

 

I think this is what i will do. Although i just want to be sure that i dont need that yellow book when im entering any country including thailand. Thanks

You used the same number of units both months??

 

Please post a scan of your bill with personal details redacted so we can try and sort out what's gone awry.

 

hi,

im not sure about the units, sorry about that. But all i can say is i used exactly same things and same way. My life in the house is very routine so i didnt use any extra electrical thing. I have 25.000 BTU ac which is on almost the whole day + 12.000 ac in the bedroom -on only when sleeping- , hot water for the shower and my computer. nothing more.

again sorry i dont have the bills because i pay bank auto way.

but i will keep them for the next 2 months and lets see whats going on

thanks

Last month my bill was 1700 baht and this month its 2780 and i used exactly same as the last month. I asked to my neighbor and he told me there are times government help because of covid.. Dont know its true or not but my electric bills are getting higher little by little.. I use a lot because of covid and working from home for a long time but never had 2500 up whatever i did. if i work at the office my bill is usually around 1500-1800

Hi guys,

So i have this Thai Mor Prom mobile app for the vaccine info. 

Many countries including Thailand wants to see your 2-3 vaccines certificate or whatever its called when you are entering a country. And i read in many posts people say 'hard copy'. 

In my app i have this Digital Health Certificate option and then covid-19 vaccine certificate. There i can see all my vaccines dates, info, etc.

So my question is, is this enough if i print this out somehow and show to the immigration when entering any country? Or i should go to a hospital and ask them to print it for me? Or is it enough just show them the app info from my mobile? If non, how to get that certificate.

thanks

i think you should do it where you are living or where you got your extension or any other stamps. so its better if you use your last immigration. safety first ????

its always a good idea to have that letter for many reasons

good luck

i dont think he can get a work permit or likewise for that unless its for an organization for something like that.

sorry, so this means Mukdahan - Savanakhet land border is open?

Thank you. Do they provide those visas at the moment there? Do you or someone you know have experience in applying for it in Cambodia.?

Yes, they do. I was emailing with them a week ago. Also one of my friends is doung his visa there right now.

At the moment Cambodia is the best place to get his non-b

It will take a week but best option meanwhile

if you are working and have salary 40k you can extend your visa too.

if no, cambodia seems the best option for you to get a new non-o but i think they issue only for 3 months, not 1 year (i might be wrong but their website says only 3 months 80usd)

other option is an agency. they will do it for you something around 15-24K if need one i can give you a nane, please contact me.
