giddyup Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I believe there are new requirements for the 90 day check for the retirement visa. Anyone know what they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The 90 day is an address report of being in the country for more than 90 days and is not keyed by any specific reason for such stay (retirement). The requirement is a completed/signed TM.47 form in Bangkok. If by mail photo copies are required everywhere and some seem to ask for even in person. There could be a request to document residence by some. Perhaps you should be specific as to the office for best answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Chonburi Immigration require copies of : passport main page, current extension page, arrivals card plus proof of address. I don't remember having to supply copies of passport main page or current extension/arrivals page last trip to Immigration. Is that new, or is my memory going? I know I always supplied proof of address though. Immigration must be drowning in paperwork. Edited October 7, 2011 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The OP needs to say where his reporting office is as it varies between them. Chiang Mai requires signed copies of your passport pages - photo/Visa page, permission to stay page and arrival card. No proof of address required at the moment.

PMK Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Chonburi Immigration require copies of : passport main page, current extension page, arrivals card plus proof of address. I was there two days ago. The kid (not in uniform) that served me said: copies of passport main page, current extension page, arrivals card, house papers. No mention of proof of address. A Thai woman was asking what was going on. Another officer explained that regulation was always on the books, and there was a new head guy who wants it enforced.

Your house papers (I assume you mean chanoot) are proof of address. I usually take a water or electric bill, that's enough for proof of address.

benbear Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Every time I go I bring all the information and pictures any embassy or ministry or any immigration Bureau would need.

prodriver Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Kanchanaburi office......completed TM 47 (with receipt from previous visit which they retain) and show your passport. They don't require photocopies of anything and don't do any themselves either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) for proof of address for my 90 day report and my new retirement extension application (they are within 15 days of each other and will be done at the same time in Dec) I intend to take my wife, her house blue book and ID card and our marriage certificate as I have nothing else available, all utilities are in her name...has this worked/not worked for anyone? also, my name is on the chanote for our house as the usufructuary but that does not, strictly speaking, provide proof of residence... I'm also hoping that the good relationship that we have with our local immigration office will assist in this matter but one never knows...I previously had an extension based on marriage with the map, house photos and etc...

That should be much more than adequate. All they normally ask (if they ask) is something. The marriage proof and her home register should be more than enough. A simple envelope addressed to you would likely be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would not be proof of address, so maybe he was confused as well, but that is definitely what he said. This is going to sound silly, but better safe that sorry. The water/electric bill - that's in the name of a Thai, not your name, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwonitoy Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Chonburi Immigration require copies of : passport main page, current extension page, arrivals card plus proof of address. Did mine Friday Oct 8th in Jomtien. The above is correct. They had a falang helper checking paperwork was in order before giving you the cue number. In and out 10 min.

NBD Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I just got by visa back after 90 days (Non B, Multiple entry sent for 90 day check in at Chaeng Wattana with lawyer) and there's no stamp in it. Previously I always had a stamp of the date I did my last check in. Apparently they've now changed it and it's stored on computer but not in the passport. Raising obvious difficulties if it's ever checked! (Never has been but I'm an eternal pessimist!) Anyone else had this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
