Can you recommend a lawyer for registering a child born out of wedlock? It has to go through court.

For my first Non-O extension i will put yhe 800k in the bank. For my renewal I will have transferred over 65k every month.

Considering I don’t need the 800k for my renewal, at what point can it be withdrawn from my account after being granted my initial extension?

Extending single entry Tourist visa in Chiang Mai >>>

Hi all, I did recently post in regards to exact requirements to extend TR visa and the only thing I want to double check are requirement for the TM30.

Can anyone confirm for me if immigration officers accept a printed copy of a current and up to date TM30 or do they really require their own paper slip copy?

Thank you for confirmation in this.

¡Es muy apreciado! 💥ヽ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ

Does anyone know of an English speaking lawyer in the Sa Kaeo area

Hi,is the Tm 30 form active in Thailand at this present time ?

I was here 12 months ago and it was a requirement.

Thank you in advance 👍

I have an extension of stay based on retirement. I have been asked to assist on a job for approximately 3 weeks in the south of Thailand. Due to the covid situation they cannot get personnel into the country easily and in time. The company will apply for a temporary work permit for me to cover this work period. My concern is will my extension of stay be cancelled upon temporary WP being issued?

I know if i were applying for a full time WP it would be cancelled so i assume it may be same for TWP but need to confirm ASAP.

I believe immigration is closed for for a day or so and would appreciate any relevant info anyone may have. Please do not comment if you dont know. Cheers

If i pay for a volunteer visa, can i later switch to a non-o after a year without leaving?

I just returned home after a month outside Thailand. I purchased a reentry visa before leaving. Do I have to scurry to immigration to let them know I am back?

I have a non O "retirement" visa.
