Border run #2 22.8.25

Drove to vientiane border from pattaya, drank 1 drink and came back to Thailand. When I left Thailand the IO lady was looking at the computer quite a few moments, I didnt ask why but I was thinking because I did my TDAC 5minutes before going to her 🤔

When I got back, the IO wanted to tell me that my visa is DTV and I will get 180days, that was quite funny, that was all the conversation we had 😆 never experienced explaining before, for 4years

Why I post is the budget;

Car 700thb

Gas 2500thb (honda city)

Laos visa 1700thb(+100thb because i forgot to take passport picture) thats $52 if you pay with dollars its $40

Leave your car next the 711 parking lot, 50thb. Tuktuk to bus station 50thb (i offered he accepted), bus 30thb each way

Thats a total of 5160thb for another 180days. And about 24h of time (had 2 of us, each driving one way)

I also got a speeding ticket of 1000thb, they set a trap at the mountain speedlimit lowered to 40 (altho same time says cars 60, who knows) when we were rolling down only using break 😅, a lot of fog so cant see much, i was following car ahead of me because i could see the lights, for "some reason" they looked at him and let him go and picked me 🤣

Also got picket at 1 of the 6 big stops we encountered...

"ooh.... silence.... you speak thai? -mai"

"what you name? -Toni"

"where you go? -pai Chon Buri"

"Ok pa"

Hello, is this the right group to get info about non O retirement visa? I am at the beginning of the process and need more info. Thanks for any help

Hi all

I will be overwintering in the Chaiyaphum area with a 6 month METV.

Would anyone happen to know if there is an office in Chaiyaphum where I will be able to get a 30 day extension after the 1st 60 days?

I am just trying to avoid doing 2 border runs.

Hi.

Non Imm O visa based on marriage extension question.

Trying to get to the bottom of it after a visit to the Amphur Mueang office in Korat today, to obtain Kor Ror 22.

Married my wife in Singapore (over 20 years ago).

Have.....

- Singapore marriage certificate and translation from English to Thai endorsed by notary public and the Royal Thai Embassy Singapore.

- I produced these in Korat today, was told that I require to gain endorsement by Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Laksi in Bangkok before can obtain Kor Ror 22.

Question = Is this correct? I need to go to Laksi MOFA to get another endorsement?

Tomorrow I am visiting a different Amphur office to try again.

I understand that the MOFA now has an online queue application for appointment that may take weeks. I don't have time to go through that as will leave the country in 5 days.

If an endorsement of my marriage documents by MOFA Bangkok is a necessity, can anyone suggest a reliable agent to approach? I don't expect to be back in the country until next year sometime.

Thanks in advance

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a new US passport? My retirement visa extension is due in 24 days and I'm worried I won't have a new passport in time.

Hello,

My mom who’s on tourist visa (60 days) wants to extend her stay for another 30 days. We are currently in Samut Sakhon. Is it possible for her to extend in Samut Sakhon Immigration? We just moved to the province so we’re not familiar with the rules/procedure.

Thanks!

I’ve always extended my retirement visa with the minimum 65k baht monthly deposit method. However, I’ve had in excess of 800,000 baht in a deposit account in my name only for around eighteen months. Would there be a problem if I wanted to chance to the banked money method for my next extension. Would I have to get the full twelve months statement from my Bangkok Bang account.

My retirement visa was recently approved. For my extension of stay the next year I want to go the 65k monthly route. I have already started the 65k monthly transfers. How long do I need to maintain the initial 800k deposit in my account after my initially approved retirement visa?

Hi Guys! Anyone here who done extension of 180 days in Thailand without leaving the country recently? My first 180 days on that visa is about to end. So I wonder what is required to extend it here in Thailand? Do I have to update dates on the employment letter? I heard that they are asking for Thai bank account statement? Is it true? Thank you!

New Question

I work in Thailand and I am married to a Thai citizen. Presently I have a Non-Immigrant B working visa. I found a new job in a different province. My current school will cancel my visa and work permit on my last day of employment with them. I went to the Thai immigration office today to ask some questions. The immigration officer told me the following:

1) Since I am married to a Thai citizen, I can get a one-time 30 day extension of my Non Immigrant B visa for the purposes of visiting my wife.

2) During these 30 days my visa status will continue to be a Non-Immigrant B visa.

3) During these 30 days I can transfer the visa to my new school.

I have been living in Thailand for 25 years and change jobs several times but I have never hear of anything like this. Are these 3 points correct?
