Past history is normally irrelevant, as long as it is not "negative past history", such as overstay, blacklisting or deportation.

A friend was in this situation. Your employers have done everything correctly.  It will not affect the renewal of the W.P. for your full-time job.

I would presume you need to pay tax on your part-time earnings, especially since they are in addition to those from your full-time job.

People can not simply remove or add themselves to a tabien baan. It must be done by the housemaster.

It depends where you are.

Does Immigration really have 35 yrs. of history on their computers ?  I have lived here continuously since 1995. As you might guess, there were few computers here then, and few people who knew how to use one.  Most computers had dust covers on them most of the time. Bangkok Bank had a German guy at their head office overseeing their computers.

My guess would be about 15 yrs. of history at best.

All offices allow 30 days.  Some allow 45.

Passports are intended for traveller's, not for resident foreigners.  When a foreigner leaves, there is a presumption that he will not be returning.  If he is planning to return, he needs a Re-entry Permit. As for the charge, well what can I say ? They have their hands out every time we turn around, including for this.

It is very hard to see how a translation could "expire".  In 27 yrs. here, I've never seen this be an issue. 

My best wishes for her speedy recovery. I have posted this need on a couple of other forums where I am a member.  

As far as I know, when a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, Thai Immigration will accept you going in on the first business day when they re-open.

Several yrs. ago I had tennis elbow.  After a few days of trying home remedies, I went to a doctor.  He prescribed Arcoxia (etoricoxib-MSD).  This was a miracle drug. My tennis elbow was gone in an hour.  I don't know if it is available without a prescription.

Hi All,

Prior to Covid my wife and I both had 12 Month Visa Purpose Retirement on basis of Funds in Thai Banks - based in Chiang Mai.

Funds are still there and have been continually.

I want to visit Thailand to deal with some points that may need more than the present 45 day Waiver.

Can we enter early coming January and organise simply for a 90 extension with intention to be leaving at end of that period.

Reasoning is that we would return circa September to try for the 12 Month Visa Purpose Retirement once more - so that renewal always comes December  time - every year.

Timing fits with visits to families etc.

 

Best Regards and good Christmas to one and all.

The OP has asked two questions:

  1. Can he and his wife come in January for 90 days ?

  2.  Can they return in Sept. to start the 12 mo. visa for the purpose of Retirement ?

The answers are "yes" and "yes".  I see nothing in his post to indicate that he is somehow trying to get some sort of pre-approval for their 12 mo. Retirement, or that he is seeking a 19 mo. Retirement Visa/Extension. Nor are they seeking to stay continuously fro January to September.

It is my understanding that you can not request a police clearance on yourself.  The employer must do it. That is likely why it isn't on the list they gave you.

Sure, no problem.

After divorce, you have the same options as anyone else. You should be able to get a "parent of Thai child" extension without leaving the country.

Divorce does not automatically terminate an extension for marriage.

I consider the BOT list authoritative on this question. I have never seen it proven to be incorrect.

I can,t make their website work this morning. Dial 1490.

I always keep all bankbooks which have become full for at least one year after the date of the last transactions.  This is one of the reasons why.

When I changed my reason for extension from Employment to Retirement (Surin 2018), I was given a one month Under Consideration stamp. Maybe they wanted to verify my financials with my bank ? I got a Re-entry Permit and travelled out of Thailand. Returning two days before my due date, I got a very quizical look at Bangkok Airport. I told them I was on my way to Surin to finish my Extension, and everything was OK.

Just make sure you are back in time to go to Immigration on your designated Return  Date.

Sheyl, again many thanks.  I will try the Dr. at Sirirat.

You did not have an adequate work up for gout much less to exclude anything else.

 

You need to see a rheumatologist. The posisble differential diagnosis includes gout, rheumatoid arthritis and several other things. You need to have blood tests including uric acid, ANA, C-reactive protein, blood count with ESR to name a few.

 

Where in Thailand are you located?

Sheryl, I greatly appreciate your reply.  I have no idea what a rheumatologist does ! I live in Bangkok, west of the river. Someone west of the river would be nice, but I can travel if necessary.
