re entry permit, tm 30, 90 day report
Upnotover replied to poobear's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
90 Day resets the day you return. No need to do it until 90 days after your return date. It is simply a report that you have been in the country 90 days. TM30 does not need to be updated as you have returned on the same visa/extension, presumably to the same place. Some offices however might have a different opinion, TiT. -
Non-O retirement Visa renewal
Upnotover replied to Nowaythatsreal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Did you read the OP? He already tried to do it but can't as the funds were not maintained for the preceding 12 months. So he is going to use an agent. Oh, and whilst he could get an O-A in the UK that wouldn't be wise, but he could easily get a single non-O there rather than converting here, then extend. -
Non-O retirement Visa renewal
Upnotover replied to Nowaythatsreal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you have any intention to go back to the UK any time soon then just get a non-O there, come back and extend. If not you will have to use your agent again. But if you do that next time you should be OK to do it by yourself provided you keep the money in the bank for 12 months (or actually 800-400-800). -
Non-O retirement Visa renewal
Upnotover replied to Nowaythatsreal's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think you'll be fine to come back in and convert to a non-O. Or maybe even better don't bother with a tourist visa and apply online for the non-O whilst in the UK - that way avoiding a trip to CW as well as avoiding any onward ticket nonsense. Ought not be any issues with your finances as all in place now for the initial extension. -
What To Do Please.
Upnotover replied to hughrection's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I think it's probably the best day of the year to drive anywhere. Anybody going anywhere is already there. But of course that will all change on 16/17th. -
Question on Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa
Upnotover replied to Cutty Shark's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can enter up to the expiry of the visa and get 60 days, so if you wish you are good until early August, a 30 day extension could then be obtained. -
Overstayed by 7 months.
Upnotover replied to eeworldwide's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Probably because it's better to be banned on a plane going somewhere you want to go to rather than at the border in Cambodia/Laos. -
Seriously? Do you not have Grab/Bolt, etc. there?

Tourist visa to stay over 30 days ??
Upnotover replied to georgegeorgia's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You don't need a return ticket, only an onward ticket. So, you could have booked a cheapo throwaway ticket to Phnom Phen within 30 days OR book a fully refundable ticket to anywhere (Malaysian to KL for example) OR a cheap rent-a-ticket. But seems you have already made the booking so any information now will only be of use next time. -

Why Only a Visa Debit Card?
Upnotover replied to NoshowJones's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Strange. I booked a hotel on Agoda, in Thailand, yesterday and used a UK based MasterCard debit card. -
Visa expiring over Songkran
Upnotover replied to jayo278's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Yes, some certainly are, CW for example, although not consistently. Best have one just in case. -
Visa expiring over Songkran
Upnotover replied to jayo278's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The 2 entry limit is by LAND. By air there is no such limit although questions will be asked if continuous entries are made with little time out of the country. I think she is out of time to get a visa from Phnom Phen, No appointment is needed but it takes 3 full working days according to their website and the soonest she could apply is Wednesday 16th, therefore collect on Monday 22nd. She could go to immigration on 17th and apply for a 30 day extension, I think they will overlook the overstay as they were closed. She should have gone yesterday of course but that's history. -
Bangkok Bank ATM card
Upnotover replied to mel2surf's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Ah OK. But I'm guessing it should work like any other MasterCard but the TPN thing may cause it not to? -
Bangkok Bank ATM card
Upnotover replied to mel2surf's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Why do you think you can't use it? It's just a MasterCard debit card, nothing strange about it (apart from the cartoon characters). Presumably the Belgian company doesn't accept card payments only bank transfers? That is more a limitation on their part rather than a problem with your bank. -
Serum Protein Electrophoresis blood test
Upnotover replied to Upnotover's topic in Health and Medicine
Thanks @Sheryl for your advice. I do have a letter that will probably suffice, and can access earlier test results which I can print out. Is it clear what test I am looking for from the simple description given? Any recommendation for a good hospital/doctor to go to in Bangkok? -
I need to try and get a Electrophoresis blood test done to report my serum Paraprotein level to my haematology consultant in the UK. Last year I had a raised level of 8g/l together with some symptoms that caused the ongoing monitoring to be advised. Whilst the level did go down and the symptoms have subsided I'd still like to get this done. Am I likely to be easily able to get this done in Bangkok without too much problem, and presumably the eventual result would be understandable to a UK doctor? I don't want a new investigation started, just the blood test.

Bangkok Bank ATM card
Upnotover replied to mel2surf's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
You need to describe better what you have but in any case it will be possible to use it online but you will probably need to get it authorised for online usage first. Bangkok Bank 1333 might be a good source of information.
