MrWorldwide Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Hi All, I was going to do this on the 30th Sept - the last day of my current extension of stay stamp - but I want to get my travel sorted before then and that means a re-entry permit. I've done my 90-day report - he barely even glanced at the proof of my address etc before stamping my receipt and stapling it to my passport. I had a doctor's appointment so I just took it and left - I guess he had a job to do and as far as he was concerned that was that. Every page on 'meeting the deposit guarantee for the first time' has something like this: Supporting documents as proof of the security deposit in a Thai bank are as follows: Updated bank book or passbook Bank letter stating that the money had been deposited to the account from an oversea source for not less than 2 months. That's great but my experience at Jomtien is that you wont even get a ticket without a form - can I just show them the letter from the bank and take it from there ? Not much point getting to the re-entry permit table and being told that I need to talk to an IO - straight to the back of the queue - but if I can kill two birds with one stone I'm all for it. Appreciate your advice on this one. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think you did your proof of deposit way back when your one year extension was granted. I think you may still be confused because of them doing it based upon you your funds in a foreign currency account for more than 2 months when you applied for the change of visa status.

MrWorldwide Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks ubonjoe but my money hadnt been in the FCD account for more than 60 days when I was granted - effectively - a 15-month extension of stay back in July. I admit that I'm confused by the way my initial request was handled, but apparently its quite common now to be granted the 15 months on condition that you return to provide proof that your deposit conditions have been met. I'm fine with that - just want to get it out of the way. I'll see if I can talk to the Farang - I think he's Belgian - who seems to help Farang out at Jomtien. The front desk really only seems to want to know what form you need and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Once you have the one year extension stamp you don't need to anything but do your 90 day reports. You do not need to go back to prove the money in the bank for 60 days. Just go in and apply for your re-entry permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for any help You do not have to worry about your report of staying longer than 90 days because you will leaving before the report is due. You don't apply for anything every 90 days unless you are on 90 day extensions of stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boughtoncestrian Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sorry again UJ looked in my passport it says on the paper it is not an extension of stay but a notify of address every 90 day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Sorry again UJ looked in my passport it says on the paper it is not an extension of stay but a notify of address every 90 day You probably have a one year extension of stay unless you are attending a language school. You only have to do the reports if you are here for more than 90 days. Since you will leaving before your report is due your next one will be due 90 days from when you enter the country including that date in the count.
