I am a native speaker and have bachelor and master degrees  from a UK university.  

I have had a teachers license waiver before and my masters transcript has always been accepted.  However my new school is saying that you must send to Krusupa the bachelor transcript as well - rules still state that a bachelor is the minimum and I can see no rule changes.

Has anyone experienced any problem using only masters transcript when applying for the license waiver ?

thanks 

Apart from the appointment system has anything changed in Vientiane in the last 15 months getting a non-0 when not married but named on the birth certificate.

In May 2018 it was straight forward

- passport copied etc

- birth certificate

- mothers ID card

- house book

Thanks

He can enter using Visa Exemption and apply for a Non ‘O’ visa at immigration as a prerequisite to applying for a 1 year extension of stay. 
 
He would need at least 15 days left (maybe 21) of his 30 day tourist (VE) entry to apply for the Non ‘O’

I'm guessing your friend didn't provide proof of the 20,000 baht financial requirement to apply for a TV.

It will not be needed for an extension of stay based upon retirement.

First time I hear this. What is "proof of retirement", a pension?
I imagine there was some ulterior reason or misunderstanding.
by the way, if your friend is Belgian, when you say visa on arrival you probably mean visa exempt.

Ask him why they denied the non imm O

This is on behalf of a Belgium friend who went today to Savanakhet in Laos - ideally he wanted a non-o based on being over 50, he had proof of 800k in his Thai bank but did not have proof that he was retired.

Savanakhet told him no to a non- o, exactly why I don’t know but I suspect it was because he can’t prove he is retired.

Tourist visa they said no to because he has had one in the past 12 months but this was from Belgium NOT from Laos.

He has a few VOA from Bangkok airports in the past 12 months and then always went back to Belgium.

What is he meant to do ? He has the money in the bank no problem but he needs a visa to get a 12 month extension at immigration in nong Khai.

Apart from using an agent in Thailand are any other neighboring countries easier now??

I would appreciate any advice.

p.s he was at Savanakhet consultant at 7.30am and it was already busy !

The financial proof and etc it not needed to apply for a non-o visa based upon being the parent of Thai or for being married to one.

Thanks Ubon

I didn’t know about the proof of income as my previous non o’s have been based on having Thai children

I’ll pass the information on

OP, be aware that for Vientiane you need to make online booking for appointment

You need proof of 800k baht in the bank or proof of 65k baht income, police clearance certificate and medical certificate to apply for a single entry non-o visa for being 50 or over in Vientiane.
Savannakhet will do one without the certificates but do want proof of retirement along with the financial proof.

I’m sure the information is on here but I couldn’t find it quickly for a friend

The Vientiane website won’t translate to English as to what is required, is it still only

- form completed

- 2 photos

- copy of Laos visa

Many thanks

Any idea if Savannakhet is asking for such a clearance? 

  OP, if you know somebody personally, please ask why they had been refused. 

There can be many reasons. Not paid tax last year, missing documents, etc.

Sorry, OP

My friend is in Vientiane now and he will try to find out

I think Savanakhet is easier - agencies were sending the teachers there rather than going to Vientiane but they were in Nong Khai !!

I thought the same - but he didn’t think it was about the police clearance. I have asked him to try and find out why - if he does, I’ll post the reason - but it’s concerning that it was a lot of teachers being refused not just 1 or. 2

Has anything changed in Vientiane recently ie required documentation.

I am asking only because a friend was there this morning getting a non-o and he has just said many teachers were being refused non-b visas and it was getting heated

Yes you can.

My post was about applying for a one year extension.
Not needed for the 60 day extension to visit your child.

Besides the financial proof you also need to be the legal father of your child by way of legitimization or marriage to apply for the extension of stay based upon being the parent of a Thai.

This topic has info about legitimization. 

[/url] To prove the income you will need a letter from your embassy. Could you get a statement from the family business to prove your income if needed at the embassy.

With financial proof you could also get a multiple entry non-o visa in Penang.

Have the rules changed in the last 4 years - 4 years ago I was able to get a 60 days extension when when my non-b extension stopped because I left a teaching job. I have 2 children and I am named on the birth certificates, I’m not married - I was hoping to do the same at the end of this month

Many thanks

In which case she'll need to make a full application, including flights, accommodation for the duration of the trip, proof of finance and insurance.

1 - Providing that the EU National isn't German then yes she can supply less information on the form, the form is the same but not all questions need to be answered for spouses and close family members of EU Nationals. She will need to make an appointment to submit the visa application.
 
2 - No, evidence of travel insurance isn't required for those exercising the right of free movement, though it's obviously recommended.
 
The right of free movement applies to all in the EU, not just those in Schengen.
 
 

A friend has asked me to help complete his Thai wife application form and a have a few questions

1. Thai is married to an EU citizen therefore can opt for the short form i.e. Less information required. Does she still need to make an appointment to submit the application with the German Embassy in BKK ? Or can she just turn up? She has had schengen visas in the past

2. Flight reservation can be done easily but does she need to have the medical insurance in place at the time of applying for the visa?

I have read conflicting information regarding the above many because the process appears different if you are married to an EU citizen (within the Schengen area)

Thanks for your help

There is no short extension you can apply for.
They may might accept the application and do a under consideration stamp until you can supply a new contract and renewed work permit.

A friend recently went to Vientienne to apply for 90 day non-O based on retirement. He has all the usual documents, bank statement etc.... But he was refused because they wanted a police clearance report !!!

He was not applying for a non-b. Have they made a mistake or is this really a new requirement

This happened yesterday
