brianthainess 10479 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Without an Agent, they never keep your passport. To The Best of My Knowledge, even with an agent, it would be the agent that has your passport. If you have the funds in a Thai bank why use an agent ? What Province are you applying in ?

Lite Beer 9973 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 You should get your passport back withing a few minutes. Pattaya Immigration might have it's own rules though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeymaus 2972 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Last time in March it was 2 days in Jomtien. Regarding agents here is a developing story. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 25070 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) OP, you are asking a 2 part question. When you apply for a non O based on retirement you will be given and under consideration period and pp handed straight back. You then return on stated date to receive non O retirement stamp.. Subsequently you apply for extension. At Jomtien the have you return the next day to collect your pp. Bit backward down there.

Thank you Certainly they will require something to indicate your address when you apply for the non O. A TM30 should be sufficient. Fo some obtaining a non O retirement inside Thailand may not at that stage have a rental contract etc. For your first extension you at that point would still not have made a 90 day report so again just have the TM30 for your current address.
