Hello. I just need to know if I collect my new passport at South African embassy in Bangkok can I go to Phuket Immigration to transfer my Visa to my new passport?

We need advice urgently. We moved to a new school in Bangkok. We had 4 pages left in our passport. We were on a work permit at our previous school. At the new school they took forever for our work permit and we had to travel across the border. Now we only have one and a half pages left in our passport. We went to the South African Embassy and they said they will give us a letter for immigration stating we applied for a new passport. We decided to move to a new school and will have enough space for the Non B and hopefully our new passports will arrive in time. My question has anyone been in a situation like us before?

South African Embassy not issuing any visas currently and non immigrant retirement o-visas are not available to S.AFRICANS, only O-A. Embassyhere not responding to ph call or answering emails. One has to deal with VFSGlobal now. VFS Global offer S.A. Multiple Entry Tourist visa valid for entering Thailand once within six months from the date of theissuance of the visa. The period of stay is 180 maximum. My question is then, once in Thailand there would not be a need to exit and renter within those 180 days (border hop) ?

Good day, I just received my passport back and it has the below stamp. Can I go through to the SA embassy tomorrow to get a letter for amnesty, go through to Immigration to apply for amnesty visa till the end of November and then apply for a 60 day visa afterwards? Thanks in advance for your help.

Just for any South Africans out there, my partner just obtained his visa extension letter from his embassy within hours...ps hope my uk embassy does the same🤞🙏

Hi, has anybody tried South African embassy regarding a letter for immigration.

Thanks.

the south african passport also can do the passport extend for the second time.

Hey guys. I would like to get some advice about a couple of things. Half about visa, half about marriage. I'm South African and I have been living and working in China for the past 5 years. My Thai fiance and I are planning on getting married so I applied for an affirmation of freedom to marry from my embassy in Bangkok. My embassy in Shanghai said I had to do it there. So I applied for it and waited 4 months for this document to come from South Africa. Now it arrived and I had to take it to the consulate office here in Bangkok to get authenticated. I just got back from their offices and they told me that I now have to send this back to the Thai embassy in South Africa so that they can stamp it and then I need to bring it back. This seems like a horrific pointless back and forth and I am not sure why all of this is required. So I would like to know if this is really how it is supposed to go or is someone making a ton of work for me unnecessarily.

The second part, if by some miracle we manage to get married, I need to apply for my Non-O visa. For that, I need proof of income. Would it be OK if I just show them bank statements to show I get this kind of income every month?

One would think that 2 people who would like to get married would be a fairly simple procedure, but good Lord this just feels like getting sent from one place to the other with no one actually being able to give clear steps from start to finish.

Hello. Has any South African recently been to have their degree certified at the Embassy in Bangkok? If so what did they ask you for ?

Thank you in advance
