I am coming to Chiang Mai soon and I will attend a Thai Lanuage School for an ED visa. I've read it's impossible to start a business whilst on said ED visa. Is that true, or can a visa agent perhaps help with some legal loopholes I am unaware of? Thanks in advance!
Have to get a new extension next month for Non-O (over 50). First time doing it in Bangkok. Does Chaengwattana require the bank issued transaction record or does the updated bank book and copy showing 12 months of transactions suffice (along with the bank letter)?
I just moved to Bangkok from Kanchanaburi where I have lived 17 years. I used to my 90 days at the local immigration but they said before I moved that I could do it online, is that also possible if you just move to a different province? Or do I have to report in person the 1st time? Hope someone knows, thanks for your help!
Hi everyone. I am on a teacher's 90 day non-B visa. Work permit ready to collect next week. Visa expires November 15th. Is it possible to get the visa extended locally without leaving Thailand? If so, how?
I'm in the process of assembling the necessary requirements for a retirement visa. Two questions:
(1) Immigration's requirement is to have 65,000 THB coming into your bank account for the previous 12 months. For the last 12 months I have had over 65,000 THB coming in to my Thai bank account every month *except one*. The previous month to the missing month I had 200,000 THB coming in. When I work out an average for the year it comes to around 85,000 THB per month. Will this meet immigration's requirements of 65,000 THB per month? Do they look at the average or each month in turn?
(2) The requirement for a retirement visa is to apply while holding a Non O. At present I hold a Non-B as I am working. Will this matter?
