they just launched a new long stay visa where the only financial requirement is a 2K baht application fee. no minimum income, no money in the bank, no spending requirements, just 2K and a letter from wherever you are intending to stay.

 

hell i'm so poor even i could meet that one!!

 

stop talking rubbish man - its not a big conspiracy

 

 

George Cross Does it apply to people who are currently in Thailand who are here on amnesty?

Was it a 60 day extension? Other extensions do not affect getting one.

a bit late to start to take action...

 

there is always 88 days of overstay for only 19.000 baht, paid at the airport on your exit...

Your in difficult situation. You need talk with an agent today. There are many. Just Google "Thai visa agent" 

There is a well known one in Bangkok name Thai Visa Centre, along with many others. It depends where you currently are.

It's currently Friday. Act today.

thanks i tried googling , called a few and none picked up , haha no idea what kind of service is that ...

This is my plan that was confirmed as acceptable by a visit to Udon immigration last month while hedging my bets against either leaving for work or the now expired hope of an amnesty rollover.

 

The OP should also check if his local Immigration office needs an updated kor ror song (extract of current marriage registration) and kor ror hah (name change certificate for Thai partner) if applicable. Some Immigration offices have validity issues with the former, ie. must be issued less than a month, on same week or (ridiculously) same day as extension application. Some Immigration offices also insist on the latter despite it not being applicable or even available for the Thai partner if they married before 2008.

nanleaw , have u already used yr 60 days amnesty before ?

You can apply for a 60 day extension at immigration to visit you wife if you have not applied for one since you entered the country.

You wife will have to be with you when you apply. You will need your marriage certificate and a copy of it. Copies of you wife's house book registry and ID card.

ubonjoe , i already applied for an extension i believe that time during april

Yeah it will be more, however the OP entered on a non-o so only needs extension. I asked him if he over 50 earlier.

Extension based on retirement might  be most easy for agent.

 

hi dr jack , my age is below 50

OP, looks by your avatar your Oz. 

Obtain embassy letter for 30 day extension from Au embassy. 

If your over 50 an agent may suggest an extension based on retirement. If not may even suggest based on volunteering or marriage. 

If you decide to leave and are indeed from AU, I don't think you have a chance to obtain flight to Oz. Have you even made inquiries. 

Seriously you have left it very late.

no sir im not and my embassy isnt willing to give any letter of extension as they provided one before ...

if any they said has only to be medical and "UNFIT TO FLY"

I have found that as I live here, if the rate is good, like now, I will transfer a years of my budget over as it saves me a fair bit when the dollar drops, e.g. last time I transfered AUS almost a year ago it was 21.68 and then dropped for a long time, now its come back up to around 22.50 so I am due to transfer the 400,000 baht for my extension around October, but might do it early as the US $ has come off a bit.

does TW give the best rate amongst other competitors , paypal etc  for transferring money abroad ?

Just now, 4evermaat said:

actually, your screenshot is very lacking.   I don't know which page of the payment process that is.

 

You have not explained how you are paying for the transfer (debit card, ach, local bank transfer, swift transfer).

 

You did not disclose the origin country + currency.   I assume Thai bank + THB is destination country.

 

You are likely paying via bank transfer or swift transfer, which TW would have given you some sort of reference # to put in the "for further credit", "reference", or "memo" section of the transfer (the one that you send from your origin bank to transferwise).

 

-----

 

There are a lot of factors depending on origin country, origin currency, method of payment, and reason for transfer.    So the more info you can provide about the full sequence, the better other people can help.

thanks for the reply 4evermat , i managed to figure it out , not that hard but abit confusing due to the usage of English on their instructions 

wow first time using TW , i got the money all in within less then an hour ^^

Just now, 4MyEgo said:

I'm pretty sure the reference number has to be put in at your banks end, i.e. the bank you are transferring the money from, that way when Transferwise get the deposit, they can match the reference number to you.

aH yes i did that , thanks a lot guys for the responses ????

Just now, Henryford said:

When i do my bank transfer to Transferwise i quote my reference number there so TW knows it is from me.

i have already transferred to TW , however i dont see any place to quote or enter my ref no ?

Just now, Delight said:

 You cannot use Transferwise until you are registered.

This process involves you submitting a photo of yourself holding your passport.

The main page of your passport must be visible.

It took me 2 attempts to achieve this.

 

You will also have to submit details of your receiving bank in Thailand

 

At the end of the process you will be given an account reference number.

 

So when you want to transfer you -after logging in-simply follow the process.

Assuming that  you agree to proceed then the  first  stage process ends when you send monies to the Transferwise UK account . You must quote your reference number.

That is it.

The money will end in your Thai bank account shortly after. Now it is about 24 hours-very quick.

After this initial transaction -future transaction are very simple and quick

 

thanks for the reply Delight , 

my account is already registered and activated .

quote the reference number under where?  after the transfer on transfer wise website or or during the transfer under notes ? thanks 

hey guys , 

hope u all are doing well and keeping safe .

i'd like to ask , im gonna make a money transfer , during the transfer its showing this 

i dont see any place where the bank asks for my name or initials during the transfer .

abit nervous as it has to do with money so i cancelled the transaction and like to clarify where should i include this reference number ?

I do see a "Note / Comments for Recipient "

is this where is should enter this reference number ?

thanks:)

hey guys , its not easy to get a flight outta here now , 

even if the website opens for booking and book the flight , a high chance that your flight will be cancelled 

its been like this for almost all airlines now ....

Do you think those with expired non-O visa will be able to get 60 day extension to visit spouse when amnesty finishes?
