  1. BUT you need be in Pattaya ???? he charges for 90 day reports but after the 1st one you can do online ALSO be aware you need a Bangkok Bank account PP Thai embassy a Non O 90 day is $100 via an agent
  2. enterprising Russians have set up language & Muay Thai schools for their countrymen and know friendly immigration officers> same as the Chinese did ( and were caught out) 90 days is also easy tourist visa plus 30 day extension, visa run an repeat
  3. above is 100% wrong: Phnom Penh will do it for you< Financial evidence of at least 800,000 Thai Baht or 65,000 Thai Baht per month in income or retirement funds (or equivalent in any currency) https://phnompenh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/non-immigrant-o-visa-retirement?page=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a1&menu=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a2 Laos need it in a thai bank
  4. needs to depart on whichever passport entered Thailand on< can enter next country on whichever Passport they desire. on returning ( BY AIR) enter on the Thai one
  5. same with a bunch of photos as you scroll down: using chrome its the site design
  6. Unless ur in Phuket> friend of mine spent 2 weeks in the Novotel ( who registered him staying there) in Bangkok to take care of his wife in a hospital on returning and then 3 weeks later, went in to do his 90 day report an was told he was no longer registered there> so had to file a new tm 30 in Phuket go figure
  7. BUT than again you can make an appt, which if ur in an area that is busy, really helps https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20129

    Patong - The Wake

    1st time i have been in Jung Ceylon in over 2 1/2 years. noon- 1:30 pm...its dead> a few places to eat, Big c, not fully stocked and some shops open>no customers yet Patong is busy whats taking so Long?
  10. rather talk about weed and weed smokers/users than alcohol and drunks.
  11. Cambodia is NOT for old man> moved over there in june 21, came back to Phuket nov 22 food sucks, health care sucks ( had more than 1 friend die there that wouldn't haven't if they had been in Thailand) 85% of things are more expensive ( makes sense as everything is imported form China, Vietnam or Thailand, Yes visa is easy $300/year no money in bank vs Thailand 16,000 baht, no money in bank Stcik with thailand
  12. My advice is come over, head to Pattaya for 2 months, Head to Chiang Mai for 2 months, Head to Phuket or samui for 2 months than choose. During ur first year settled, travel around, there are some great areas all over the country but you need find what you desire If you desire be near the water, you can cross CM off the list. If you like cities, Bangkok offers lots for everyone, if ur not a city person, cross that off ur list The advantage to renting and not buying, you can always move ????
  13. the money needs be in a thai bank for at least a day not the 2 months https://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/en/page/non-o-visa-2?menu=63bcd84082cc9c34f4141df3 OR enter on a visa exempt or tourist visa and convert that to a non o
  14. nothing like a little white lie to cover up what they really are looking for ????
  15. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2023/2/22/russians-make-thailand-a-refuge-as-ukraine-war-enters-second-year
  16. to convert from visa exempt/tourist visa apx 20,000 1 year extension 16-17,000 savings on my scb about .75% LOL
  17. Pattaya is a city and the beach is not thta nice with 50,000 baht/month as a single guy, dont drink or take ladies, check out Phuket lots of nice places, 1 bedroom 6-15,000 baht, golf, shopping, lawn bowling, gyms, beaches, bicycling, road trips, walks in the hills Rent 6-15,000/ Electricity; 1,000-1,500, phone 50, water free, internet 600, Entertainment free with android box transport, Buy a bike ( 40-60,000) an gas less than 300/month groceries 6,000 eating out as a single guy, NON western food all the time 5,000 never had health insurance weed 6,000 LOL: was in town yesterday, nice thai stick 20% THC 3,000 baht/100 grms other starting at 1,900/100 grms look at various fb groups , am sure u will find poeple like you. if you have the 800,000 in the bank visa 1,900/year no baht in Bank 16-17,000 /year

    Patong - The Wake

    I just got my NEW motorcycle license, ???? ( after 30 years of only a Car license) because of the many check points in Patong, i have avoided it for the past 3 months as i only have a bike now If i need visit town, I usually go early morn from Kamala to Phuket town and return via the monument, where there are NO check points So today drove down 2nd road to hard rock an back along the beach road at apx 2:30 what a mad house> wont be heading back any time soon and wont ever be heading in at night> so ur reports are eye opening for me, Thanks!!!
  19. File NEW Tm 30 for ur new address< ask immigration if ur current due 90 day report is the same date> if so, you will need do it in person, an your next ones can be done online FYI: Really bad advice from Pedrogaz
  20. according to my agent in Phuket this is not true, she deals with thousands of Burmese here and most have valid passports BUT most will have trouble later in the year if they cant renew
  21. yes, after u exit immigration is the office or just ask the official at the desk> if at off hours, they will run down someone to do it, give urself an extra 15 minutes can also get one at Patong or blue tree immigration not just town
  22. HUH? i have stayed in Thailand for over 330 days/year for the past 20 years, Never paid any tax not since they did away with tax clearance back in the early 90's
  23. is ur ss payments made into ur US account? If so, sign up and use Wise, https://wise.com/ Best way to get ur $$ into ur thai bank marked correctly and at the lowest fees. thats how i get my $$ here otherwise do as stated above, an have ur SS$ paid into the Bangkok bank NY branch which will transfer it to ur thai bangkok bank
  24. so in samui u cant buy or sell a car/bike, or get, renew ur license OR is this all handled over in Surat Thani
