I am curious as to anyone's experience with the immigration office Chiang Rai.. Central mall?? easy ..... or difficult ?? thank you..

Is it possible to do "Retirement" type O Extension, 90 day Report, and Residence Cert. in one CW Bangkok IO visit?

Never tried before and wondering if Extension, then 90 Day, then Res. Cert. is the best sequence order.

Not sure about CW Extension timeline. If I have to give up my passport and wait a few days or a week for the "under consideration" time and the new Extension to be stamped into my passport then this plan would not be possible.

Alternatively, could I do the 90 day and Residence Cert. in and hour or so . ..and then when I have those finished, submit the Extension application and passport for consideration. ....and wait up to a week for the Extension stamped passport to be ready for pickup?

Doing a group search I found what I hope is a complete list of all the required docs for each step I need for a new address (old Extension was with Jomtien IO) with new TM30 and new rental agreement :

Extension non-imm O (at new address)

-- Extension application TM 7

-- Passport pages

-- TM30 at new address

-- Proof 800k bank book pages

-- Signed stamped bank letter 800k

-- Signed stamped bank statement 800k

-- Lease

-- Picture front of the house with house #

-- Drawn or Google map of house location

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

90 day report (at new address)

-- TM47 90 day report application

-- Passport pages

-- Previous 90 day receipt (old address)

-- TM30 at new address

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

Residence certificate (new address; for Drv Lic )

-- Application from residence certificate

-- Passport pages inc. last extension (from today

-- Previous 90 day report (from today)

-- Copy of receipt of notification TM30

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

Do the lists above include all the required documents ?

Old Jomtien Extension of stay expires 2 August.

10 July would be 90 days from last entry at BKK airport from outside Thailand.

Hello Group, I am seeking anyone with experience or knowledge regarding changing visa status. Is there a required length of time that one must live in Thailand on any type of long-term visa before changing to a different visa after said visa expires? I am currently living in Bangkok via a Non-Immigrant O-A (Retirement) Visa. Earlier this year, I married my Thai Girlfriend (we had been dating for a little over 5 years) and I am considering changing my visa status to Non-Immigrant O (Marriage) Visa. It should be noted that my current visa will expire later this year, so I am researching my options before that time arrives. I have reached out to my local Immigrations Office, where I have spoken to 2 different officers whereas one officer didn't understand my question and transferred me to another officer who advised that I have to renew my current retirement visa at least once before I can change it to a marriage visa. So my understanding is I cannot change my visa status until I approach my second year of living in Thailand on my current visa.

Thanks in advance for alls answers provided regarding my question.

What are the fees for an agency to apply for 30 day extension please? 

So I’ve extended my visa once and I want to extend again so can I just go to immigration again or is it border run time?

Also if border run can I do by car or does it need to be through airport?

Lady charging me 3,600 bht so not sure if getting ripped off, tia

Re submitting with corrections in case moderator wants to share

Hi guys

I just applied and received a Multiple entry tourist e-visa in Italy. As long as you provide all the documents requested very easy process.

It says to apply 2 weeks prior travel but I got the visa approved after 4 days.

A couple of questions:

- Everytime I enter thailand do I need to show them the e-visa print out? or when I stamp in the first time they also make a multiple entry permit?

- am I correct that the latest date I can enter the kingdom is the 15th November?

- Finally which land borders are open to do a quick visa bounce.

I appreciate your help! especially you Tod Daniels!

hi - I will soon apply for permission to stay 1 year based on my non-o based on marriage. I get a list of requirements from Udon Thani immi. I don't understand what they mean with "House Map". A drawing of the road and house? Including the houses of the neighbors? Anyone familiar with Udon Thani immi? thank you in advance (and yes I have asked immi but no answer yet)

Setting up to renew O visa etc. Its harder to renew then just start all over it seems. Seems impossible to proof income when your own Embassy is worthless. Deposit over 65000 baht each month but it doesnt matter. All those politicians we get disgusted with, well they are everywhere. Im going back to being a visitor only. Three month's then gone! They hate farangs, then so be it. Costa Ric, Combodia, Phillipines, Uraguay, Panama, Belize...see you soon.

Hello,

I want to know the process to inform change in residence address to the Immigration office at Chaeng Wattana.

Thank you.

I'm getting to the age where I really don't want to be doing visa runs and border bounces. Planning to enter Thailand on a 60 day tourist visa. 1, Open bank account and transfer 800,000 2, Find Somewhere to live, that will lodge a TM30. 3, Apply for a non immigrant O, 90 day (retirement) visa. 4, Extending it for 12 months. 5, Certificate of residence. 6, Purchase long term Insurance. I'm not sure about the timeframe to start the process considering I will have a 60 day tourist visa. Any input would be appreciated.
