Popular Post bangarang Posted March 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 Phuket Town Immigration experience today: Success! Non-O Multi extension based on thai wife (60day) I am from USA, Got 60 day extension Thanks to my assertive thai wife we discovered some new information that was opened today. Anyone Needing to do 90day reporting or report foreigner living in thailand can be done at the building across the driveway from the main building. This is where the shop that sells pens is. The line was very short for this but probably because people dont know its here. No need to wait with the tourists in the HUGE queue. Tip: Make sure you bring ALL of your normal copies for the family extension. Otherwise its a long queue in the sun. After your 90day reporting or foreigner reporting is done, go straight up to the nice 2nd floor aircon room. No embassy letter needed for us Non-O Visa people. I showed up at 8:45am and was finished by 10:30am with the reporting and extension. Good luck! I hope this helps. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangarang Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Dont forget to look for the 90day reporting (TM47) location and report foreigner living (TM30). Its by the pen shop across from the main building where the bikes usually park. Officer said they opened that part up today.

Hopefully the land borders open back up by mid june. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying multi entry don't need leave after 90 days ? If so then 90 day reporting must be required by law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 90 day reporting, if on a retirement EXTENSION 90 day no reporting, but must leave every 90 days if on a 1 year Non O VISA so if you cant leave, what happens? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishcarlos Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 1 minute ago, phuketrichard said: so if you cant leave, what happens? 30 day extension, followed by 60 day extension and if the borders are still closed after 3 months then overstay will be the least of your worries.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can apply for a 30/60 day extension if married or have a child. These days, who knows what will happen... Different rules at different offices, different rules from one day to the next !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 my situation, would love some feedback. I did my last extension last year, after i got i, i withdrew 500,000 from my 800,000 <i needed the baht> so i assume if i try an get another extension i would be refused as did not keep the whole 800,000 in the bank for 3 months after the extension was issued. My Plans had been to travel to Penang and get a 1 year visa, (i will have the 800,000 in the bank again) so what happens if i cant travel out and get the visa? Could i get an extension with the US embassy letter, (i suspect not) Anyone know any agents around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is tricky one, But i think that you should be able to get a 30 day extension if you have the embassy letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I'm a bit confused about whether you are on a one year non O and leaving every 90 days, or were on a one year non O then got an extension of this sometime in the past. Your wording and requirements make it seem like you have already been doing 90 day reporting "Tip: Make sure you bring ALL of your normal copies for the family extension. Otherwise its a long queue in the sun. After your 90day reporting or foreigner reporting is done, go straight up to the nice 2nd floor aircon room." The above makes it seem like you have been doing 90 day reporting already, not actually leaving the country every 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice if the drive thru was open as well for 90 days as you went past or have they closed it with being so busy? I'm not due til late Apr and hopefully things may have settled down a bit by then anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Croc Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 During April I need to effect a 90 day report, a transfer of stamps to a new passport, and an extension where I am changing from retirement to marriage. I'm sure the IO will smooth the way. Stressful times, even if my investments back home, and the exchange rate, weren't crashing. Oh, and I believe there's a virus around that specializes in killing old farts like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
