ubonjoe Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Posts for Penang is good using an agent. I got a PM from a member yesterday saying he just got one. Several reports that KL is giving multi O's.

Just hear to many different stories. Cheers Do not know if this helps but I was after a change from my retirement visa to multi entry o type as I live with my Thai g/f and our baby but got this reply back from the banana guest house in Penang yesterday Requirements have changed from last year and this year. Last year, anybody who has a married certificate or baby certificate can easily have 1 year visa without showing any money, But now it's different. The consul here in Penang only give 1 year married visa or retirement visa if you can show money in Thailand bank. I believe the people at banana guest house are on quite good terms with the Thai Consulate over their and are quite up to date with there knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they expect to see a large amount on deposit just some deposits/withdrawals showing you have money to live on. Might be a good question for the guest house to answer.

In the topic you referenced to the person was trying to renew a multi entry visa which i agree you do not need to show any funds , which is why i am trying to obtain one as i do not wish to bring a vast amount of money over at the present English Thai exchange rate to renew my retirement visa . but as shown above in my earlier post it seems that you cannot get a multi entry from Penang at the present time . I am trying to get through to the Thai consulate by phone to confirm but at this time the lines do not seem to be working , when i get through and have more info will post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 begging your pardon where does it say a multiple entryThe consul here in Penang only give 1 year married visa or retirement visa if you can show money in Thailand bank. a one year marriage visa or a 1 year retirement visa is not a multiple entry visa it is a visa where you go and check in every 90 days at immigration you do not have to exit and reenter Thailand A consulate cannot issue 1 year extensions. These are obtained at Immigration in Thailand. They can only issue Multi Entry Non O Visas. These require a border run every 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 A multiple entry visa is often referred to as a 1 year visa because it has a 1 year period of validity thus allowing multiple entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are over 50 technically you can get an annual extension from Immigration in Thailand to live with your Thai child. No money in the bank needed. However a lot of offices don't like to do this . Some will do this but like to see some money. Some members have reported have done this in Bangkok with no money needed. It is a bit of a minefield. This is the police order.

cockneyrebel Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks Lite beer All ready trying this approach but as my child is only 3 1/2 years old seems like i need to go to court and get a letter was told i could get at the local Amphur ? but they seem reluctant to issue. Its a bit like banging your head against a brick wall ,oh well will try and phone the penang consulate tomorrow cannot get through to them today for some reason i assume i have the right numbers (604) 226-8029, 226-9484 regards cockney rebel.

As you are not married you would probably only get a single 90 day entry from Penang. Immigration would give you a one time 60 day extension to visit your child. But that is probably of little use to you. Edited October 20, 2008 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have emailed them back to comfirm that multies are available so will keep u informed. I am offshore working for the next week so i will know more when i get on the beach. I am willing to give it ago will let u know the outcome surely it can be done or it wont look good for thai visa . com cheers harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
