I submitted the photos i was told to prepare. and then they came and took identical photos, the only difference was the immigration officer was added. that then made it official 😃

It did feel like a raid, especially when they wanted a picture of my wife & I next to our bed, including the immigration officer, and then the kitchen, living room and house number outside who wants that as proof of marriage / residence, total nonsense.

I was actually visiting Hua Hin on a golf trip, and my wife called me to come home, they’re coming tomorrow morning she said. I told her “NOPE” i called an agent and the agent arranged a date later in the week, and it was all resolved with an envelope. horrible experience, but of course they are higher than my wife and I. the following the year, i told my agent to get a 50+ and she said “you can’t do that” but i did and it was sorted.

My comments are i had an Non O spouse visa from Thai embassy Singapore. I was 49 at the time I got it renewed (or extended) 2 more times and to be honest the amount of paperwork and other related items , for example they told me to wait at our house and someone will show up sometime soon. They just showed up, no call prior. multiple photos of me/wife and Immigration officer in various rooms at the house. I absolutely hated that part. Made me feel totally inferior, and at their mercy. I decided to get the NON O retirement visa. Far more easier than marriage route. if you’re 50 or over get one of those.

Thanks i’m going to make the Residence certificate application 1st, and then see where i end up with the Yellow book application.

I was told, i needed a Long term visa, not just the 90 days. I will apply for the Non O

I truly believe that almost every immigration office wants expats to use agents. if you don’t pay extra, they’re not getting anything extra for their work.

Do you think i can apply for renewal of Driving license and Condo Yellow book without having the 1 year extension ?

Thanks for the info is there a set limit on how early i can apply for the 1-year extension, for example can i apply before 30 days in country or do i have to wait??

Guys why is the entry visa only showing Single ?? i want Multi Has anyone made a successful application using the E-VISA website ??

Hi all i’ m almost ready to apply using new online system. now my question is what visa should i click on?? I think i need /want Non immigrant O retirement, but the site is a little confusing for me. i’m 55 UK, and I own a condo in Pattaya., i also have 800k in Bangkok bank, I don’t have my Yellow condo book yet and this is one of the reasons, i need to get the correct visa for the Yellow book application, i was told i need “Long term Visa over 6 months” to make the yellow book application. I have selected Non-immigrant visa then its asking me to select many other options. I think i need 1. Or 2. See pictures 1 Retirement (pensioner aged 50 or above) 2 Long -Stay 50 years or over (O-X), is this O visa and X visa or is it OX same visa ???? please recommend the best Visa for myself to apply for, and it will help my get my Yellow book for my condo purchase i made in April this year, i left early so i didn’t have time to do that before.

Many other countries insist a proof of residence is in a form of a utility bill.

I can’t understand why any owner doesn’t want the correct name on the utility bill. especially for proof of residence.

I believe PEA can’t be bothered to change it, and most new owners can’t be bothered also. However someone has also just told me. i need to buy a new Elec meter, because i don;t own the old meter is this the reason why the name has not Been changed ??

hi i recently purchased and transferred a condo to my name View talay 6, Pattaya I then went to PEA electricity office and informed them of the sale/transfer, they asked me to go to my bank, fill in a form and then start the direct debit. so far so good however, after 3 months the electrical bill still shows the previous owner name at the top, my name is further down as a payer. the water bill is ok. can anyone advise me, how to get my name at the top
