Little follow up to all the great info on this thread

Went to kasikorn with:

* Passport & bankbook

* Blue receipt showing paied taxes at the land office

* sale agreement from the land office (Large orange stamp on it)

* original FCTF

Sale price was 1.29m. I wanted to transfer 1.2m out of thailand. Was no problem, but they did look over all the papers I brought & made copies of those. One day later it was in my account in Norway.

I did bring lots of other papers to (copy of tabianban, both sides of chanot, etc). I did not show them (had them just in case), and they did not ask for it.

I bought a condo in Bangkok in 2009. Money used for this was transfered in from Norway via bank, and declared on an form "Foreign Exchange Transaction Form (tor tor 3)". Stating in the form that the money was going to be used for condo purchase. I'm now going to sell this condo with a profit aroud 200k bath. Money from this sale will be put in my thai bank account (kasikorn).

Questions:

1) What "evidence" do I need to present to my thai bank (kasikorn) to be able to transfer to my norwegian account? is it a special form?

2) is there som extra taxes involved when transfering? (see my profit above). we're paying transfer fees etc at land department when condo is transfered to buyer

Note for those checking previous posts: I previously wanted to sell this condo and buy a new one, but plans change. This condo is now being sold and my wife and I will be moving to Norway.

Wrong. Your allowance beyond reporting date is only if you actually make the report. They might allow you to report on 26th however. With next report due 90 days later.

So to avoid problems when i'm leaving by plane tomorrow (friday) I should go to immigration in the morning to do the report card?

and new 90 days report start counting from when I enter thailand again, right?

Hi,

As I understand it, report card (i.e. every 90 days. and not visa/extension) can be done up to 14 days before, and upto 7 days after the date. In my case 19 march, which would be lates 26 march.

But I'm leaving Thailand on on friday 22 march, and coming back tuesday 26 march. Going to get new visa (& arrival card).

As I understand it, I don't need to bother with doing the 90 days report before I leave right? and when I come back the 90 days will start from begining again?

3. The requirement is 400k in bank account two months or 40k per month income for one year extensions.

If I use the 40k per month, can all or part of this come from my wife? i.e. if she has salary of 25k and I have salary of 15k (40k total) - would this be ok? or does it need to come all from me?

Thx for great input some follow up questions...

2. You may be able to get a 60 day extension to visit spouse but beyond that will require a new entry as you say you can not qualify for extension of stay financially.

---> What papers do I need to get this 60 day extension? I can do this at chang wattana in BKK? My current extension (non-imm ED) expires 24 march. If I do this will it be 24 march+60 days, or will it be the day I extend + 60 days?

4. Single entry O should be available anywhere without financials. Savannakhet does not require financials for multi entry - KL would require proof of 100k (but might accept in home country one time).

---> Single entry O in this case is 90 days, or 1 year?

---> Multi entry in this case is also 90 days, or 1 year? or is it 1 year, but need to go out/in every 90 days? (I'm a little confused about how multi-entry visa works)

I bought a condo in Bangkok in 2009. Money used for this was transfered in from Norway via bank, and declared on an form "Foreign Exchange Transaction Form (tor tor 3)". Stating in the form that the money was going to be used for condo purchase. I don't remember if the money came into my account before it was transfered to the one I bought it from (I think so).

Anyway, end of this year I'm gone sell this condo and buy a bigger one. I bought the one in 2009 for about 1m bath, and new one later this year will be about 2m bath.

I know that in the land department (?) they asked to see bank book AND the form "Foreign Exchange Transaction Form (tor tor 3)".

Question now:

1) Will I need to transfer money I get from the condo I sell out of the country, and then back into Thailand? i.e. 1m out of thailand, and then 2m into thailand in one form.

2) or can I just transfer the reminder money into thailand later? i.e. I will then I have one form which I used for the original condo, and use it again + another form for the reminder money (total about 2m bath).

3) transfer into thailand 1m bath now, and sell the condo (and 1m out/in from this) - bringing it to 2m needed - but on 2 forms.

Preferable is option #3 as I can use that bank statement for visa purpose meanwhile.

Anyone can help me with what is correct?

40 year Norwegian, married to thai women (august 2012). Living in Bangkok (using chang wattana immigration office).

Entered Thailand on Non-Imm ED visa 4 july 2011. Changed school march 2012 (and paper etc through school/government). I have extended the non-imm ED visa every 90 days, and it will expire 24 march 2013. I have used ED visa for about allmost 4 years, and will not continue use from now on.

I have more than 100k bath in thai account in my name for a long time. It's not 400k, and will not be 400k until maybe end of this year. I have money in norwegian accounts & stocks, but will not transfer into Thailand until end of this year.

I would prefer getting a visa where I don't need to go out and in to activate another 90 days. i.e. I prefer extension every 90 days (or better extension every year if possible) + 90 day reporting.

Questions:

1) Can I use money in Norwegian bank for use for non-imm O (marriage)?

2) Is it possible to get another visa/extension without going out of Thailand? i.e convert my non-imm ED visa to non-imm O (marriage), or?

3) if 2) is ok, what funds do they require? 100k, 400k?

4) If I need to go out of the country I've read about Laos and KL. KL require 100k, and Laos maybe require money in bank. If I go to Laos and they require money in bank - how much in bank? 100k, 400k?

5) If I get one of the visas above, will it be extendable inside Thailand or do I need to go out/in every 90 days?

6) I've read that I can get non-imm O (marriage) multi-entry in Laos/KL. Is it possible to extend this every 90 days (or 1 year) inside Thailand, or do I need to go out and in to activate another 90 days? i.e. is multi-entry = in/out every 90 days?

7) I have all the papers for non-o (marriage), but the kor ro 2 & 3 are from when we married in august 2012. Do I need to go and update the 3 (or 2?) with a new date showing I'm still married just before I do the visa? (or is august 2012 new enough?)

8) Any other better/easier solution for me to stay in Thailand? (preferable without go in/out of country). I know of Tourist visa but it looks like to much hassle (in/out every 90 days, immigration to extend 60->90).... so don't like this option.

I'm a norwegian and will soon marry a thai girl. We're planning to settle down here in Thailand, but will maybe in the future live in Norway for some time. We have no children, and our plan is to have no children in the future also. We have looked up about inheritance laws in Norway and Thailand - and they are very different. In Thailand it seems that unless you make a "Will" the spouce will inherit nothing since parents, brothers, sisters, etc.. gets first (i.e. the part that is inheritable; 50%; spouce of course keeps it's own 50%). Link I found about this: http://www.samuifors...s-thailand.html

In Norway it seems the spouce inherit everything if no children is involved (atleast what we have found out so far). Anyway, we want the spouce to inherit everything in both countries. i.e. if I die, she will inherit everything I own in Norway and Thailand, and if she dies I will inherit everything she owns in both countries (she has no lands now, but I know about the rules for foreigners owning, and sell within 1 year if inherit something that can't be owned by foreigner).

So bottom line, it seems we need to setup a WILL.

Questions:

a] Can we make a WILL here in Thailand?

b] Can we get the will in "a)" legalized in norway too, or do we need to make one pr country?

c] what are the procedures pr country?

d] suggestion for lawyer to use?

e] should we do the WILL when we marry, or wait until after marriage is valid in both thailand and norway?

90 day reporting: 26 march

visa extension: 29 march

ED visa (if it matters). I will do both at chang wattana in BKK.

As I understand it, visa extension is by date above OR before. But 90 day reporting can be upto 7 days after date above. Meaning that I can do both reporting and visa extension at the same date (29 march). Yes, I know I can do it at 26 march or before - but wondering if I can do them both at 27/28/29 march.

If above is true, will I get a fine of 500 bath/day for reporting late?

Hi,

I have an Non-Imm ED visa, valid to 6 dec 2010. Got an Re-entry permit which I'v used and got a stamp when I arrived 13 sep 2010 to be valid until 6 dec 2010.

Before I went out of Thailand I had a report card (receipt of notification) dated 11 aug 2010 which said I must report again on 9 nov 2010.

When I re-entered Thailand on 13 sep they did not change or take away my report card.

So now I'm a little confused as of when I'm going to report next time:

a] 9 nov 2010 ?

b] sep 2010 + 90 days ?

c] not report until I get a new report card - maybe when I renew my visa on 6 dec 2010 ?

Another thing:

Beginning of march 2011 I will leave thailand for 4 months. Before comming back I will re-apply for a new visa, but what about my report card meanwhile?
