It might be depending of the province. It's needed where I live – Samui Immigration – but we need a lot extra as retirees, we must also pass a hospital health check; I still wonder what happens, if the doctor don't let me pass...

Give him/her a tip, you'll pass.

I use the office near the football ground.

Even though the bank statements weren't specifically requested last year, I didn't want be caught off-guard for any potential issues as I don't live nearby the immigration office.

 

Good plan, pack your folder with copies of every possible IO request you can think of...... 

Direct with the Airline

Thailand - just because a left turn signal is flashing in front of you does not mean the car/motorbike is turning left and vice versa. A foreigner allegedly hitting a Thai on the road ? big problem for YOU regardless of fault ! Take care out there, it's a jungle.......

Is my list pertaining to the Application for Extension Based On Retirement all comprehensive or have some of the requirements changed specific to the Buri Ram Immigration Office?

Do you need a copy selfie of your self and house number and possibly a google map copy of your residence ?  I was asked 1 month ago but not at Buriram office ......might be handy to have that tucked away with you....

Government created that lovely title for the Island, hundreds of thousands fleeing not holidaying, keeping the local police busy anyway........deal with it ! 

There was a thread two weeks ago here where she said don't worry about flooding, water is coming to Bangkok next !

TBH unlimited border runs aren't a thing anyway in theory yes but the reality is that very few IO's will let you have entry if you have more than 2 or 3.      Why didn't you get an Non O in the first place surely easier?  

Didn't have any mentioning of it from IO's exiting and entering every 27-28 days for work for a few years......doesn't get any easier than exempt entry.....

Yes put your face in the palms of your hands......it's over !

Border runners are abiding by the rules.  They're not abusing the system.  If the rules state you can't keep doing border runs then fair enough but they don't.  In actual fact if anything it's the IO's who aren't respecting the rules by denying people entry who have actually done nothing wrong, just because they feel like it.   

Give it a bit of time, this unlimited border entries won't last, the ETA system now is the start, IO's prefer to see visa's if one is entering often. In my case years ago working a 28/28 on/off rotation outside Thailand, after pages and pages of exempt 30 day entries, an officer said "you spend a lot of time here you need a Non O" so I got one rather than push it further.....

Yep, new announcements on a weekly basis - bunch of mixed up cookies.

Perhaps if they think a little harder, get past 'money' which alters their thoughts, restructure back to the ole 30 day exempt stamp for most, their "good guys in bad guys out" slogan may improve........

Why go home to work when they have a job in Thailand?

Can't work on an exempt stamp, ahhhh yes I'm sure it's happening anyway...

What harm do border runners do you exactly?  

In the eyes of most Immigration personnel anywhere, and without some sort of long stay visa, runners seem to be holidaying a little too long.....maybe time to head back home to work.....
