Firefan Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) As we know there are currently NO more new investment visa (extension) being issued (3M Baht in condo/time deposit/Gov. bonds) but us that hold them already will be "grandfathered" with renewals for "life"(yeah - we will see next year...but a good decision by emmigration never the less). Now, should you forget to buy a re-entry permit, or in an emergency be too much in a hurry/having an evacuation Etc. your investment visa extension will be void wherefore first of all: buy a MULTIPLE ENTRY PERMIT (3800 Baht) instead of a single entry permit (1000 Baht). Also, remember to pencil the date for renewal (or 3-4 weeks before) into your calender - one hick up, and the visa (extension) can be gone for good.... Should you be travelling during renewal time, then head for emmigration, with airplane ticket in hand, and arrange for the renewal beforehand. They will normally time the next visit/under consideration stamp to fit your return. Also REMEMBER that during the 1-2 30 day "under consideration" stamps you will need a NEW re-entry permit if travelling as the old one does NOT move over to the "under consideration" stamp. Finally; as we know the 90 day reporting rule has been tightened up - and the light banner at emmigration mentions that not reporting CAN cost one the visa besides the fines - so remember that reporting too. If my post saved just ONE investment visa (extension) from being voided I will be a happy man! Cheers! Edited October 7, 2006 by Firefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
