Pattaya57

Sounds a lot to me as well but I said 17 because the OP said 17 "The Thai cabinet decided on its cabinet meeting 2024-05-28 to scrap 10 of the 17 different NON-Immigrant visa categories." The so-called list of all current non-immigrant visa earlier in the thread also only listed 12, not 17?

Please tell us the names of the "Plenty of nearby places with live music/aircon and comfortable seats AND cheaper prices..." I'm happy to go visit and compare your recommendations

Typo, Maneerat is on soi 13/2

My Mate did the same thing by dropping below 800k in month 2 and below 400k after that. He put 800k back in 2 months before appliation and paid an agent in Pattaya 12,500 to renew next time, no problem

Rules related to initial application or extension are: (1) 800k 2 months prior to application (2) 800k for 3 months after issuance of 12 month stamp (3) 400k minimum until item (4), so for 7 months (4) 800k for 2 months prior to next application

Did you even read the thread. This is covered already that the thread is about visa's with non-immigrant in the title. Not a dictionary definition of non-immigrant which we all already know.

No need to spill your coffee when you've taken something out of context. I was purely explaining to another poster who didn't know about the bi-laterals and I even said they would likely keep the bilateral agreements going (but nothing published yet so I couldnt say for sure)

That website is not formal. It is made up by a random person so has no better info than what is already posted here (I think it's 180 days per calender year, not per visit)

If you're just looking for the cheapest bar for beer then sure. You could even try Nikom Court 50 metres away where you serve yourself 50 baht beers. I found Las Vegas complex to have great atmosphere, nice air-con, good live band and lots of friendly attractive waitresses. Price of beer at 70-80 baht was very reasonable for that atmosphere.

You can Google many sites that all say the exact same thing, but here's one example whereby if your name is in the yellow book and actually reside there you are tax exempt if property less than 50 million baht (Plus many people on here have confirmed they don't pay the tax because they have name in yellow book) Land and buildings tax exemption Land or buildings which the owner uses for a residential purpose and has his/her name listed in the household registration certificate on 1 January of the tax year shall be exempt from the value of the tax base if the calculation of tax does not exceed THB 50 million. https://thailand.acclime.com/guides/land-buildings-tax/

Because OP stated he wanted to do 175 days without ever leaving Thailand. Can't do that on a METV

OP is not currently in Thailand and has no visa so I quoted the first time applicant price for non-imm O + 12 month extension. If you can get an O-A extension including health insurance for 16k then well done. I imagine the insurance is pretty much worthless at that price but ticks the visa box

No they won't. Even in Pattaya where it's cheap it's 25-26k for the non-imm O plus 12 month extension. You'll then have another 4500 for bank account so around 30k

I must admit I looked up regularly today when walking to/from Central Mall (with Hilton Hotel and View Talay 6 next door)

Appears it was a 30-40 year old woman https://thepattayanews.com/2024/06/08/woman-falls-to-death-from-pattaya-condo/

They'll stamp you as per the date you present your passport. If it's 11:55 and the one day is critical then I'd wait 5 minutes (or even 10 minutes to be safer)

Pedantic or what? I'm currently on a non-imm O retirement visa that I applied for on the World wide Thai e-visa site advertised as follows so please tell us again how a Thai Retirement Visa doesn't exist?

Sending a farewell message with map coordinates in the middle of the sea to both her boyfriend and Aunt definitely sounds like suicide. However The Thaiger reports it slightly differently She sent a goodbye message to her boyfriend at 4.40pm and shared a location in the middle of the sea with her aunt at a similar time.... ...Da disappeared at Chong Khao Khat, but the shared location was near Samut Prakan province, far from Koh Si Chang. This could be just a goodbye message to boyfriend after they were talking for hours that day and a shared location to Aunt could have just been a random glitch in location as was nowhere near where she was (I once did a share of Brisbane Airport and it came up as some location in India) https://thethaiger.com/news/national/mystery-surrounds-death-of-woman-found-naked-off-koh-si-chang

Yeah, blame Pattaya for finding and arresting him after he fled custody from where he lived in Phuket

You're the insufferable troll. I've tried to help people by saying how easy City hall is, 10 minutes only in air-con....hardly more time than you spent on here trolling how impossible it is

What a <deleted> drama queen. Oh, I'm too good to go to City Hall, I'll go to banks I have no account with instead and then complain when they say no lol

There's also no evidence that he was pushed, which is what I was responding to

Are they even your banks? Just go to city hall. It's air-con, efficient and takes 10-15 minutes

But it's total speculation and so meaningless?

Interesting. I know this doesn't apply to you since you're not Jomtien, but if the office approving my 12 month extension of stay tells me to come back in 3 months with passbook copies proving I still have 800k in bank, then I'll ensure I come back in 3 months. Doesn't matter to me what they do with it, or that it's not required by any other province, I just don't want any surprises 9 months later on next extension.
