There was no 7 days in previous order.

Not important now though since it apparently has been extended to July today by the cabinet.

 

thanks again

How about July 30th which was just posted in the news forum. The cabinet approved it today.

No details though.

So... that means... we can stay here until 30 July? that means like another 2 months? 

thanks ubon. because my 1 year non-o marriage visa will expire this 5 may. I need to go to savanakhet to do another 1 year. If what you are saying is true, i dont need to leave thailand on the 5th. which probably your right.. great, thanks again ubon

I didnt know we have to get a letter from embassy. I thought covid extension for 30 days is just auto. Stay at home and leave the country in 7 days after 30 april. No need to go immigration or likewise..

Do you really think they will want everybody to leave on the 1st or rush to immigration to get an extension?

Extending the ministerial order is not solely based upon the availability of flights out of the country.

You also need to check to see what countries are still closed to entries. 

I only read reliable sources of info.

 

I personally think yes they will give another month.. And i think you are right. Although so far all the act shows not that way. Also do you really think they care about 1000s farang go to immigration at the same day or the next? At the end of the day they want people leave the country i think.

I would recommend Chong Chom border. No queue.. easy crossing.. and nice food close by. But if you dont have a car its difficult to go to the bus station.

I might be wrong but I don't think he will have the home visit or things like that because all he is doing is changing from the seasoned money in the bank to the income system for his financials. He already has an extension based on his marriage, he is only changing the financial system. 

hi, if your talking about my situation... i not extend my non-o, never. no have 400K doing 90 days every time. So Ubon is right for my situation

Yes but it is not all that hard to do. Most offices only do a home visit for the first extension.

Still easier and less paperwork than doing the extension based upon working for a company. 

thanks. And what if the wife works in another city because of her position in the government?

You will need tax payment receipts and your annual income tax return for last year to prove  your income of 40k baht or more.

You will need your work permit and a copy of it to prove you are working legally.

They may want a signed copy the company registration as well.

I suggest you check with immigration to confirm what they require.

 

Lets say you want to keep your non-o but extend it with your 40k salary for a year. I believe you are going to need all other paper work too.. such as; pics of you & your wife.. immigration will come to your house to check.. you need to go to imm with your wife... things like this. I really hope im wrong because its long paper work. Im wrong or correct? 

thanks ubon

I was always a bit confused why having a O visa, people were still making 90 day border runs. I just assumed they could and would do one year extensions, similar to O visa holders that do retirement extensions but don't make 90 day border runs.  Reading some of the posts above, I think I now understand.

 

 

or not all ppl have 400k in the bank.. 

you might want to have the neccessery papers with you if your wife changed her surname. I read some ppl were complaining about this..

Get the new passport and show both passports when leaving the country and they will transfer your entry stamp in the old one to the new one and stamp you out of the country in it.

Then go to the consulate to apply for your new non-o visa using you new one.

thanks Ubon

Hi guys,

So my non-o multi will expire in 3 months. Meaning that i need to go to Savanakhet and get a new non-o multi.

Here is the situation:

My passport's pages also about to finish. I think 4 or 5 pages left. Now im sure i can go another 1 year with this passport, i can because i know when i go to another country for 90 days they can put the visa on the back of a page which already has a visa on the other side. I have 1 or 2 pages like that on my current passport.

But also a new passport would be nice. 

My options are:

- continue with the current passport for another year.

- get a new passport and get a new visa on it. 

If i get a new passport.. how can i leave thailand and get a new visa on the new passport ( if someone tell me with details would be great)?

thanks

I dont know it suits you but Lao air goes to savanakhet from bkk. But theres only 1 flight per day. So you need to stay like 4 or 5 days (because of the time schedule of the flight)  in SAV. Its the longest but easiest way

As mentioned go to the tax office with your passport and other related papers.

Also i think they dont do payback anymore if you fill your tax via online. It happened to me 2 times. They send me a text to my phone and told me to contact office before the 5th of friday. Although it was the 5th of friday they send me the text so.. nothing to do. 

This year im not doing it online anymore. Someone will do it for us in my company at the tax office in BKK.

Not every Thai lady changes her family name upon marriage to a foreigner.

In fact, years ago, it was a bad move to do so as under Thai law they were no longer eligible to own land. That was changed sometime during the 90's if I remember correctly, possibly after the IMF bailout in 1997.   

yes, my wife is high rank officer in thai army, she didnt change her last name. She asked me if im ok with that, and i said no problem. She explained me if she changes her last name it will make lot of problem because shes a government officer... i also asked some other ppl about this they all told me shes right. Now i can see one other problem it could create when i go to savanakhet.. thanks her again she didnt change it ????

If you can get your paper work from the new school, no you dont need to. Im not a teacher but our company just hired a new guy and he did everything in 1 day. I dont know if it works the same way as schools.

If you cannot do all the paper work in the same day.. dont even try to try. Just go to Laos or another country to get your proper visa.

Good luck

Lesson learned 

i believe employer cannot hold your WP, thats illegal. My WP is in my car, where ever i go - comes with me same as my passport and my bank book. all together safe in my car

Next time definitely Chong Chom!! 

We didn't like Poipet anyway

 

i did there 2-3 weeks ago. No problem at all. But if you are not staying 1 night at cambodia, you will pay extra 300 baht on cambodia side.

Go to the crossing in Chong Chom in Surin. No problem for you to do the border hop there for a new 90 day entry.

Poi Pet has a reputation for making problems for those with a multiple entry visa.

Just did there... i think 2-3 weeks ago. NON-O multi... no problem at all.

Your edit whilst I was replying removed most of the inaccurate information, deny it if you will, but as I didn't screenshot the rubbish you spouted and now it's gone, you can pretend your original version was 100% correct, LOL !

 

Your lawyer is leading you up the garden path, only a Thai can OWN the land.

 

You can have a usufruct or lease, but that is the only way you can be on any of the paperwork.

well, maybe you should read better than caring grammar. I said 51% goes to wife. Ohh if your talking about that, yes your right. i forgot to mention that.

dont worry im not a kid and not deny anything i said or write. Also.. you could try to be more.. calm down. thanks

FYI: my friend did the same thing.. i think 2-3 years ago. and thats how it is.

Are you sure that is not a company ownership?  That is often used as a work around to the law that foreigners cannot own land.  But as there are also laws that could negate such an agreement if determined company was set up to avoid that non foreign ownership law it is not 100%.  As said you can inherit property but you must sell within a year.

hi,

this is what my lawyer told me: The day end of the payment, some ppl from government will come to do some paper work, that day if me and my wife says we want my name on it too than he can put my name BUT 51% goes to wife. So yes land is not mine but i can get some money from the land if things go bad.

Just now, userabcd said:

It depends who paid for it and/or the asset ownership before marriage. Basically under current law you personally as an alien will never be able to own land.

hi,

you paid or not. you can put your name on the land but again as i said 51% is wife's. so yes you dont own the land but you can get money if you have your name on it. OR if your names not there, you can keep the bank transfer info which shows you paid for the land, you can again get some back

you said several visas... well.. 50-50
