This is very spicy, My German neighbour was running a small exporty company.

Bad luck, over the last rew years he has losed a lot of money. In the meantime he has reached the retirement age and receives his retirement every month, which does not cover the full 800 000,= Thb.

His present visa is ( if I understood well ) a Non Imm. B and expires by the last quarter of next year. In the meantime he quit the bussines but does not have enough cash to pump up his retirement to 800 000,= Thb.for a retirement visa.

Aspecially not as he has much hospital expensses to pay because his eyes are even too bad too read a book.

Now the spicy details, A few yars ago he has agreed an installment with the revenue office and is not allowd to leave Thailand before the full amount of this installment has all been paid.

Does he still need a visa to stay in Thailand ? That's the question I can not answer. Anyone knows ?

Bully for Burghard.

No doubt, How are you supposed to live here without the legal authority or i meant to say, without Visa? if u do so u are nothing different from illegal immigrate and you shall be fined for that, 500 bht per day for the expiration of Visa, not including Work permit expiration as you were on Non-Imm, my suggestion is declare so to the immigration or contact any legal line for the assistant. Best of Luck

I assume the concern is that he is using 90 day entry rather than one year extension of stay?

With paperwork from Revenue Department he would likely be able to extend his stay 90 days at a time at Immigration under the provision below; or under discretionary clause. He should contact immigration.
