New passport - how to proceed?
zzzzz replied to StayinThailand2much's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
you can just leave with both> u will be stamped OUT in new one no problem< So no reentry permit ? BEFORE you need deal with ur immigration office, u need have some stuff transferred at the immigration that issued the extension only from old to new BUT IF ur extension in old passport will be expired and no re entry when u return, you dont need do anything -
if u live here u have zero reason to ever deal with taxi mafia 55555 more than a few Russians have been buying new bikes, making deals with locals that have shops and than renting the bikes out of the shops> Not sure thta classifies as mafia but i think not, just some wealthy Russians although they seem to be doing well now, come april-nov, not so sure

I love kamala, been here since 96> theres the main road which is a mad house with <deleted> on bikes BUT the eastern side of the main road is Thailand with an abundance of condos, villas and the Local population, the western side tourists> Plus we have everything one needs, I only go out of kamala 1/2 x /week to central and Makro in Phuket town dont drink and bars have held no interest for me in more than a decade. Patong : ONLY to get to town!!! went down to Chalong last week thru Karon, kata, nai harn, rawaii chalong> dam have they ruined that part of phuket and as far as the northern part; 6,000 new units being built in Laguna> 6+ years from now the island's traffic will make it nearly impossible to move around

zzzzz replied to blue angel's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
friend of mine let his drop, officer told him, you need start all over, leave ,, get 90 day non o... than pulled him aside an told him he would cost him at least 15,000 baht for all that BUT for 10,000 ( no receipt) no problem 🙂 issuance of extensions is ALWAYS at the discretion of the Immigration officer. ----------------------- Its a great law for Thailand accounting for those single, no will and die> bank just made 800,000 !!!! -

Should I close my Thai bank accounts?
zzzzz replied to CartagenaWarlock's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
scb is only 200 /year -
800,000 OR "equivalent" needs be in a bank to get a Non O visa, in the states, Laos or even Cambodia than transfer it to a Thai bank to get ur 1 year extension at least 2 months before you apply 800,000 needs be in ur thai account 2 months on day you apply for extension. Once u have a NON O , get a certificate of residence from immigration and shop around till you find a bank that will open an account for you,
