Agreed, this is one of the finest.

Had Phuket extension, was refused at CW immigration for a re entry. Jan 2020

Correct, I get a proper receipt for 1 baht, stamped and signed by the amphur

Did you get a receipt stamped by the amphur?

This is there own rule. No such rule at CW Immigration

I have seen 100s of Thais living in Aussie since birth, still cannot hold a conversation in English. English is the language of Business/tourism globally, same cannot be said about Thai. My Thai wife speaks central language, she is not able to comprehend what an Isaan person speaks.. Something to chew on

Central Thai is spoken by less than 20 mill people.

1. Is my understanding of the process correct? Yes 2. Is there any items missing from the above list? None, but I have never provided my photo. 3. Has anyone use TM30.io (https://tm30.io/, a website that provides automatic TM 30 submission service)? If you do, please share your experience. I have used the Section 38 App (Available on the APP/Play stores) reporting done in under 5 minutes, hassle free.

The BTS does not go to Don Muang. You will reach at Bang Sue Grand Station first and then catch SRT Train to Don Muang. Don Muang route is operated by State Railway of Thailand (SRT)

District Office in your city, known as AMPHUR in Thai. They print and stamp while you wait, cost is 1 baht per copy. Does not matter where you were married, its available nationwide.

Best bet is to head down to CW Immigration and let them have a look at your documents. They have a dedicated PR desk, wouldnt hurt.

Potato, Thai Banks allow this. ???? I understand that in western world, does not work like that.

Yes. However, this method will work for in person report only.

None

This is for peope who are married to a Thai lady, the marriage cert should be 2 years old. People rarely take that route, the best is on the basis of working for a Thai company for 3 yrs. PR and citizenship have similar salary requirements thats why you are getting confused. If youre unmarried or have a non Thai wife the threshold is 80,000 baht a month, half if married to a Thai lady. 3 yrs of tax payments on 80 k salary is required in any category (Por Ngor Dor 91) Those men married to Thai lady can skip PR and apply for Thai citizenship directly. Single/Non Thai wife applicants have to obtain PR first ,wait for 5 years, then can apply. If you need Checklist for Thai citizenship, do let me know.

Its the PR requirement, Detailed list of documents here - https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/1.2.2-Notification-of-Immigration-Commissionมีครุฑ.pdf https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2.4เอกสารประกอบภาษาอังกฤษ-2564.pdf

It requires 3 yrs of Work Permit, salary of 80k THB a month, tax payments on that salary. Non B or Non O (Thai Wife ) visa only, salary of 40k THB a month if married to a Thai lady. PR is applied at Chang Watthana Immigration Office in Bangkok, address here - Immigration Division 1: Government Complex, Chang Watthana 7th Alley, Thung Song Hong, Lak Si, Bangkok 10210

Chiang mai has PPM of 500 -600 Bangkoks PPM 99 to 140 Get your facts right

Yes you can apply for a Pink Card What is a Pink ID Card? This pretty little card is an official form of identification for non-Thai nationals living in Thailand long term. Those with permanent residency, and long-stay expats (O visa, etc) are eligible. The card also provides a form of ID for stateless persons. How do You Get a Pink ID Card? To get the ID card you need to have a Thai ID number. The way to obtain this number is by getting the Yellow Book Tabien Baan (see this article). Basically, you register your place of residence at a local district office and receive a yellow house book with your name listed as an occupant. This book comes with an ID number. Thai nationals and permanent residents get a blue book with their ID number inside. Once you have your ID number, you're ready to apply for your Pink ID Card. Required Documents - Here's the list of documents that you'll need to take with you to a local district office, known as an amphur. Passport (with visa inside): You'll need copies of the photo and visa page, which you'll have to sign. Your work permit (if you have one) House registration book ( Blue Tabien Baan in Original) Marriage certificate (if you have one) Permanent residency books (if it applies) Before you receive a Thai ID number to apply for the Pink ID card, first, you must register your place of residence in Thailand with the government. You will get a Thai house book when your registration is approved. You will get a Yellow House Registration book if you are a foreigner who lives and has residency in Thailand, but you will get a Blue House Registration book when you are a permanent resident. When you have your name present in the yellow or blue house book, you’re ready to apply for the ID card. The next step is to bring your original and a copy of your house book, and other required documents to the District Office, to get an ID number and apply for the pink ID card. On the day, in addition to your documents, you will require two Thai nationals as witnesses to the application. They will require ID cards to verify their status. The witnesses will be verified and your documents processed. Once verified, the officer will take a picture for the photo card, and take your fingerprints to put on file. Cards are usually issued the same day. How Much Does the Card Cost? The fee for the Pink ID Card is a very reasonable 60 Baht, and remains valid for 10 years. When the card expires, simply visit the same district office to renew it. You will have your photograph and fingerprints taken again and be issued with a new card. The renewal fee is 60 Baht.
