Did you keep the 400k in bank all year or have 40k per month income proof? They make no mention of only two months for parent extensions as is allowed for spouse extensions.

Actually believe the requirement would be for a foreign child to live with a Thai parent - but also believe it is misread by many of us and probably immigration at times. What seems to be a requirement is the 400k (like with marriage).

https://www.immigration.go.th/?p=14714 Above is the immigration requirements - note 400K bank requirement for parents Section 18.

If you are extending for care of Thai child the requirement is that you live with and if he is registered in Ueon Thani you should be living there and extend there. You need to have him on home register where you are living I suspect for immigration to extend stay.

Did you scroll down? There are two pages in that PDF. If you have open in a print program perhaps they only show one page at a time? If you open on Chrome both pages can be viewed. If you open in Foxit Reader you can use typewriter function to fill out form prior to printing.

That is the PDF - just print it out and fill out/sign/send from what I see.

SomkingJoe seems to have provided a PDF link above. OOps see you have changed form number to 7162. https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms/images/SSA7/G-SSA-7162-OCR-SM-1.pdf

If living in Thailand you should be using Manila as you indicated in OP - so why are you now saying to mail to office in the states? Are you still using USA address?

Must say you are doing it on the cheap - most Thai like to eat a lot from venders and that would normally double or triple your costs. Guess you are a chape priced vender.

As said above if this is for use outside Thailand be sure Thai notary is acceptable. Thailand has not signed the Apostille Convention as can be seen below so local stamp has no legal meaning outside Thailand.

A microwave is not an oven by definition. Poster clearly stated microwave worked. Suspect best to contact owner and ask them what to do - improper work on a microwave could become a health (burn you) issue. As said it could be just a fuse wire inside - but taking apart by untrained is not advised.

So about half the government school lunch program allowance per meal? Rice is nice I guess.

I don't have any wallet. Just use Visa debit card for payments. It is not free but at only 1 percent worth it for me (most activity is under 1,000 baht). Ended up using COD for air-conditions but for multi small packages worth the extra to not have to make payments on delivery.

Refund has never been more than a few days for me. Last payment to USAA Debit Card to Lazada on 7 Feb was immediately canceled by seller as being wrong price (his posted price). Amount charged $481.19 on 7 Feb. Refund on 9 Feb $481.62.

Sorry - was thinking your wanted to change to retirement extensions of stay - which is what we have been talking about. You have a minor Thai daughter living with you? That indeed would be different requirements.

Just the opposite - we must do because our Embassy/Consulate will not provide required letter of income. It is an alternative Thailand allowed when three major countries refused to confirm income that you previously reported in a Consulate letter to immigration. Privacy laws I suspect a major factor preventing valid confirmation in a reasonable manner.

Actually an expiring passport in 90 days would result in such an extension - you can also ask for the number of days for extension on the TM7 indicating a shorter period could be approved when requested.

1. 2,000 baht is visa entry for 90 days - then you must extend for 1,900 baht with proof of financials (2 months in Thai account or 12 months of pension payments into Thai account (in your name only accounts). 2. (3) No. The US Embassy will not confirm pension income - so we only have option of 12 months of 65k or more payments into Thai bank account for income method. You must have money in Thailand or coming into Thailand for in country extensions of stay. 3. (4) there is no option to extend 90 days without meeting financial requirements.

You right - was thinking of the single or multi entry non immigrant O visa which was an option for retirement prior to the Non O-A; and from some Consulates remained an option. Sorry.

He has now said what it actually is - visit daughter - and extension is normally restricted to reason original visa entry was made. So appears a new visa exempt or tourist entry and conversion (funds in Thai bank account) would be his best option. That way no insurance issue. You are right that current policy is O-A is multi entry for one year - but they had single entry O-A for many years and was not sure if they may have changed policy with the e-visa system.

The problem may be visa for visit daughter and he wants to extend for retirement - first extension of non O visa entry normally has to be for the reason visa was issued.

Likely because he likely has an O-A visa which is what he would get for long stay via evisa. https://www.thaievisa.go.th/visa/long-stay-visa

They only accept their approved insurance (or those that give management letters of coverage perhaps) - there is no provision to accept FEP/Blue - the insurance works fine but it is not accepted by immigration for extensions of O-A visa entry. As said best to enter with just a non immigrant O visa or convert a vise exempt/tourist visa to such after arrival to avoid the insurance issue. Alternative, it not that old, is pay for the minimum extra insurance coverage that they accept (but keep FEP/Blue for actual use).

I probably looked at that clock during the six months I spent there. In 60/61.
