RickoMortis Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 3 of my mates just pay a imigratoin officer to return there passports with the proper visa extentions and stamps. Been doing it for years with many others who can't do it legally as no funds in there banks as they work with out work permits as managers of resorts on ilands only been paid 12,000 baht each monthly with free accomadatoin and food. Very popular way of getting Visas in Thailand where any thing can be baught for a price it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobinBKK Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Interesting how different immigration offices have different policies. I have the same exact Visa type O and retirement extension and renew at the Bangkok office. No such notification is issued to return after 3 months for proof of funds. Obviously this is something that can simply be checked upon your next renewal of visa extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free accommodation means a small crappy hotel room, and I don't think a juicy steak is included in "free food". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatedly, and some might argue, that if you did not still have the money, were living here on an Extension you were not entitled to. If I recall correctly, Jomtiem were quick to impose the requirement to return and show you had retained the 800k baht... soon after it was imposed around March. They may have jumped the gun and likely want to avoid the face-loss of rescinding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
