Possibility to use Tourist eVisa?
Jaggg88 replied to trax33's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
This is simply not true. I got my e-visa in the UK and got a flight to Singapore for business and then another flight to Bangkok and used my e-visa - so coming from a 3rd country. It doesn't matter what country you arrive from as long as your passport and visa are correct. You also do not need to use the flight that you used to obtain the visa as I changed mine and it didn't matter. -
I wish she could give my Mrs some lessons on haggling - she's useless!

They have aircon units with HEPA filters now and that would be the way to go for me

400,000 baht bank account question
Jaggg88 replied to sagra's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Nobody can answer your question as everything depends on the individual IO on the day. So my advice is update both books and go and ask their advice but make sure they know you have options (extension etc) or they may see it as an opportunity for an unofficial fine. My friend was in exactly the same boat when applying for his first retirement extension and he was told he would have to pay 18,000 baht to fix it, which he did because he thought he would have to leave and start again. He was only days short of the full 3 months and could have simply extended his non O for 1900 baht. He was married by the way but the IO had convinced him to apply for retirement instead of marriage extension. -

Border Bounce to Padang Besar from Phuket
Jaggg88 replied to Saigon's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If you want to fly then just purchase a fake onward ticket, costs about $10. The rules for re-entering on a visa-exempt state you must show 20,000 in Thai cash so whether the IO accepts your Thai banking app balance is up to him/her. I've never been asked to show the money or ticket at immigration in 20 years but I've only ever done 2 land border bounces. Although I have had to show the onward ticket to airlines when coming on a one way ticket - sometimes, not always, as it depends on the agent checking you in. -
Visit from Immigration today. TM.30

That's a question for your local immigration office as they make up the rules and not the online reporting system. -
Visit from Immigration today. TM.30
Jaggg88 replied to phetphet's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Requirements will always vary slightly from office to office but in my city my wife only registers me as staying at her house when I return from a trip abroad. She never does it when we've been out of the district and they seem happy with that. -
We spent new year in Bangkok and my Thai mother in law religiously wore her mask all the time, nobody else did. When we returned to central Thailand she didn't feel well and tested positive. Fortunately she only had mild symptoms for a few days but the mask wearing was obviously no help. Nobody else tested positive.

Joe, two people have told me you only get 30 day a land entry so is this not true? -
Visa exempt rules arriving by air
Jaggg88 replied to Jaggg88's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OK Joe thanks for the info I'll let him know the good news. So still displayed on Embassy website and MFA even though it was rescinded in 2008. -
My UK friend has a work contract in Malaysia stating in November and would like to visit Thailand at weekends, holidays etc. He says the UK embassy website and MFA website say he is limited to 3 entries every 6 months but other are saying it is currently unlimited so does anybody know for sure?

Non O extension based on marriage

Oh sorry the legalisation is for the company I'm going to work for here in Thailand. I thought they meant for my marriage extension. -
Non O extension based on marriage
Jaggg88 replied to Jaggg88's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I'm applying for an extension based on marriage. I thought I had to get my passport legalised and translated. -
I've had my UK passport legalised in the UK - they do this with a certified copy and return it to you with the apostille attached to the back. I've arrived on a non O visa and I will now get it translated in Bangkok and take to MFA for the translations to be certified but someone has told me I have to get something done at the UK embassy first but I've no idea what! Can some one advise please?

I read that Spain doesn't recognise AZ vaccine in Thailand. They say it isn't approved by WHO Extract Foreigners who are vaccinated against covid-19 can also enter Spain. For this, it is necessary to meet the following requirements: -
Fastest DNS to use in Thailand ? Does it matter ?
Jaggg88 replied to thepdru's topic in IT and Computers
I've always used Google public DNS The Google Public DNS IP addresses (IPv4) are as follows: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 The Google Public DNS IPv6 addresses are as follows: 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 You can use either address as your primary or secondary DNS server. ISP's have to offer this service but they don't throw loads of resources at it so try some others. -
Non O visa based on marriage renewal question?
Jaggg88 replied to raptorea's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Joe my office told me to apply straight away, I have 60 days left on my non O, so can I apply earlier? My deposit will be 2 months old just before my Non O expires.
