The end result is the same, we both get the same visa and I also go a receipt from immigration 

But the result is not the same if you turn up at your real immigration office the next year with an extension from a province you never lived it, go on try it.

I have been told to go to my local immigration office and register my address there .

If amnesty is extended until October 31st we will be able to assist with long term visas for those who were last holding a Tourist/VOA/Exempt visa.

Is this something you guys think is happening? No more than a rumour at this stage

I do not think it is legal, not do I think getting an extension via an agent from a province you do not live in is legal either. Many argue they are, up to them. I would rather do things legally rather than under the counter with the excuse that's how things are done here.

What a ridiculous comment. People move around all the time and there is nothing wrong with that. There are 77 Thai provinces, many of them quite small. Some people reside in one province (or seek an extension there due to their wife having her tabien ban in that province) but work in another with a work permit issued from a different province. All perfectly legal.

 

That's what a TM30 is for. You file a TM30 after doing your extension of stay to say you've moved and then file TM47s as normal.

Is this also the case for someone who got an under consideration stamp with embassy letter?

What are you talking about. You just file a TM30 after having gotten your extension.

Must close the stamp first.

We have heard a few people go back, and get the meet in person date moved up so they have enough time left to apply for a non-immigrant visa.

Aha I see. Hopefully this stamp will be forthcoming before the return to office date then.

when can we start applying for this? I was told to come back Oct 20th for official stamp. Will that be enough time to apply?

Sorry, but <deleted>... "You can argue that paying an IO to overlook the money requirement is legal?

You are more accurately paying an IO to waive the seasoning requirement which is a legitimate authority he has. What is more dodgy is money being deposited into an applicants account for a short term so that the bank can produce a letter stating such funds are in the account, albeit for 20 minutes flat. That involves the agent and someone at the bank I expect, and not necessarily an IO.

why do people always complain about agent and io doing their business, why would you care as long as you got what you want, just be happy enjoying your life instead of getting salty about agent/io doing their business, you might get a heart attack thinking too much, there's always a loophole, mind you loophole and not illegal, nothing you said or do will make any different, just a fish in the vast ocean

NO NO NO. A bribe is a bribe, the same way that a regulation is a regulation. It's illegal... I'm NOT against it, just pointing out that your wrong. It's corruption... as big Joke said;

I'm not against it at all, in fact i'll probably use this method myself! Just pointing out that's it's not legal.

Is there a reason why you are choosing to pollute a perfectly good thread by banging on and on about the same thing? We understood your opinion from the first post.

I would like to amend my previous comment as it is now the end of Monday.

 

It seems a lot less likely that any additional amnesty extension will take place by now, but who knows.

Why?

Lots of info in the news now. It only needs approval by the cabinet tomorrow.

It has a lot of coverage stemming from the initial unsigned letter, with no new information.

 

We assumed they would have pushed this through during the weekend.

 

I'm not saying it's impossible, but the only thing we have read is a lot of speculation.

Did they say this topic would actually be talked about during the meeting tomorrow?

Everything I have read today indicates it will be approved by the cabinet tomorrow.

I've seen it in the nation and the BKP too, sounds like good news. Going to be interesting to see how easily/difficult the extensions of stay for 60 days are obtained

I'll predict as hard as IOs can make it, without getting reprimanded or dismissed.

Of course it's not, it it were you would not need an agent, just turn up tell them you do not have the funds in the bank, and ask how much for them to ignore the law ???? Somebody asked what difference it makes to people who do it legally, well for one thing now we have to keep our cash in the bank for 3 months after our extension, not an effective measure against the other way of doing things, maybe they will come up with something else, all depends who is in charge.

It now appears to be officially extended!

 

So if anyone is currently under amnesty, and wishes to convert to a long term visa through an agent please reach out to me, or my staff.

Any discount for the 15 month volunteer visa considering it's not really necessary anymore? Your standard prices seem a bit much considering it looks like we'll be able to apply for rolling 60-day extensions.

If you qualify for the rolling extensions we advise to do so.

 

We have not read anything that says you may keep on doing them over again based on a visa that has already been extended upon.

 

Our prices go back down to what they used to be 3 weeks ago (as we do not have to rush cases for the next two weeks).
