Take a day trip to sunny Pattaya, things are almost normal ????

RU daydreaming or drunk? Dead town last I've been there recently

Today is the deadline for the  expiring visas of  everybody.

The only way to  extend now is to proof that you are unfit to travel overseas eg to return toyour homecountry is to go to a hospital foe a check-up and get a   examination report from the MD.

If you go to the Bumrungrad hospotal now and get an check-up you be able to return there on Wrdnesday to Bungrungrad hospital and  see the immigration officer here.

If you are over 70 years old and have a critical medical situation heart problem, Diabetes,  high blood pressure, Prostate cancer, or any other cancer ,then ther will be no problem.Let me know by DM how you proceed 

Belated but not too late, I hope, my Thai drivers license is expiring on 25 August 2020.

I need to extend the 2 licenses, for motorcycle and sedan.

The licenses were issued in chiang rai, I dont live there anymore, I still have a Tabian Baan for the residency ( Family house)

Now I live in the Rangsit area with my daugher who is stadying here.

She has rented a DORM, in an apartment building for studendts.

She has no contract for the rental, neither do I.

I was informed, in order to get an extension or a new license, I must show a residencial contract.

What can I do now.  Any advise from my fellows?

Thai, philosophy in a hotel, if there are very few guests, just rise the room rates and the food prices,  and split the loot among the  employees.

Now 2/3 rds of the hotel's are closed down, never to be re-open until 2025

Khao Kheow Open Zoo. Thai price 75 baht until the 30th of September. Foreigner price 250 baht.

Why, when there are no short term foreign tourists in the country?

I got the same email. Thai Airways don't owe me any cash, and I have no flights booked with them.

 

I do have enough air miles for a return business class ticket to the UK though.

you can  kiss your miles accrued goodbye.

Thai Authorities mull visa Amnesty Rules after July 31 2020.

Original post of Barry Kenyon on June 28 2020. in Pattaya Mail

A very interesting article/ post. Had asked several moderators in the forum  about it, silence is Golden. Now I know and you fellows too , read on in Pattaya Mail past June 28 edition.

In short,  all visa apply, exept retirement and other annual  extensions, etc. there is more of it. I could not save it and post it ?! kraxlhuber; senior member

as of july 6 my retirement extension has expired.

I had someone doing it for me since 3 years. Now that person ( a Thai Friend, a lady) is not available anymore.) she sponsored me and put up the annuity/ bank deposit. 2 months ago I made her aware that my retirement extension is due on july 6.

What can I do now? The non O immigrant  visa was based on a visa originally issued in a consulate of a European country.

I am sure that this topic is calling for a great response, last topic in this or other forums was posted by 2008

Ineed to redomy  BOSIET offshore training certificate in order to go back to work after been 6 , yes six years on the beach.There was MOGIT in sri racha but it isn't there anymore.

I did many times   the  BOSIET in Singapore but its  too steep a pric fly there , pay 1500 S$ and stay at a hotel. BUT  what  does it takes to go back to work Johann muller from germany

Total expenditure coming from Chiang Mai was around B13,000 .It would be somewhat cheaper from Bangkok. Yes it would be far easier to do a retirement visa which i had in the past ,and without an agent but this way no funds are required to be shown in a Bank .

Documents i showed . Two photos .Visa application form .Passport and copy showing front page departure stamp and Lao visa page .Signed by me .Original Marriage cert plus copy signed by wife .Wifes name change form original and copy signed by her .Copy only of both her i.d. card ( both sides on same page ) and blue house book .Signed by her .Copy of my yellow house book .Signed by me .Plus B5000 .

BTW, retirement visa   application in Savannaketh, whats  required?

Just now, anto said:

A single M-O is B2,000 .A multiple M-O ,which i got  is B5,000 . I just provided a copy of my house yellow book .I did have a copy of my house Chanote ,which i am named on with my wife but it was not required .

my yellow tabian book is from Chiang Rai, I am  in Bangkok, does it matter?

Just now, kraxlhuber said:

very useful post. Did the immigration ask about a seperate residency or  rental contract ?

I know  my yellow Tabian Baan has all the information, BUT, who knows. Why the 5000 baht fee, is it for an agent?  non O fee in Laos is 2000 baht

Last time  in March I paid an AGENT outside  the  embassy 6000 baht all inclusive for my non Immigr.O visa, its expiring  July 5th  and how can I  extend my stay, I am in Bangkok?

??? total expenditure for the  visa run??

Airticket, hotel ,visa fee,  taxi,  food??

Travel agent here in Bangkok charges me  21000 baht for retirement visa, no need to travel, no need  to leave Thailand takes  2-3 days, no hassle , I am 72 years old tired to travel

This Monday I  shall go To Immigration Chaeng Wattana and ask ( again) for an extension of my Non Immigrant O visa   from  Vientienne, CW is always asking for an address in Bangkok, I stay with my daughter in an Student apartment , she has no  rental contract or tabian Baan.

What can I do  for  an address in Bangkok, I don't want to rent another  apartment.

I have her  signed ID card, I have her  signed Tabian Baan book, I have my  yellow Tabian Baan book

Going from Bangkok, I either take the overnight VIP bus or fly-ride service to Mukdahan on the way out, and take the fly-ride service returning. The fly-ride journey avoids a long bus journey, but, outbound, the bus schedule is ideal for arriving early morning in Savannakhet for the visa application. Fly-ride on the way to Savannakhet means an extra night (in Savannakhet or Mukdahan) because you cannot arrive early enough for the visa application.

 

If traveling from other parts of Thailand, the optimum solution might be different.

 

 

great info thnks BritTim

what visa did you get? Or an extension?

I am aware that the  embassy in Vientienne  asks for an complete address in Thailand  for  visa precessing.

Do they  require  also  an rental contract or does  an address of  an friend or relative suffice
