Urgent about Marriage Visa and Overseas Marriage Certifcate for District office in Samui - I need help from agent, any good recommendation?

Will soon submit my request for extension of stay with one year this week, based on the appointment with the IO in Koh Samui (Non-O Retirement). With regards the usual bank paperwork for the thb 800k (held over past 12 months) , has anything changed this year?

I ask so because I just saw a YouTube video stating several retired people were rejected in their extension request by their IO because they reportedly could not prove the 800k originated from sources abroad, whilst this same money was already in their bank for last few years, and during last year extension this was not an issue.

Note 1: the example stated the person had taken some funds over past year and replenished this later to the required 800k, from local sources he held in Thailand.

Note 2: the checklist I received from IO last week does not indicate any different requirements, except I had to agree that they have the right to investigate my data and documents provided.

--> Please your advice on this matter of the 800k (which I have held in my SCB account for 2+ years, and have never taken any of it.

Much thanks.

Sharing my experience with my first 90-Day Report at Koh Samui Immigration! It was super quick—took only 15 minutes (though it might depend on the day). I just submitted my original passport, TM30, and a printed copy of my DTV E-Visa. After that, they told me to head upstairs, waited about 5-7 minutes, and it was all done! Smooth process, no hassle. Hope this helps anyone preparing for theirs! 🙏

Hi all I am from the UK on a 60 days visa exemption I would like to apply for a 30 day extention at. kho samui immigration office how many days before my 60 days stamp is due to expire should I go to samui immigration to get the 30 extension total time 90 days here

Anyone have recent experience with obtaining a residency certificate at Suratthani Immigration? Is it same day or next day? I'm on Phangan where they only give 1 at a time and I need 2 for 2 different reasons.

Hi,

I’m on a DTV and will need to do my first 90 days report. I know I need to attend in person and will go to koh samui immigration.

I understand now that I need a TM.6 arrival/departure card. I didn’t pick one up on arrival and wasn’t asked for one at customs.

I believe I may be able to ask for one at immigration.

Can anyone offer advice please, I want to avoid issues at immigration.

Thank you

Edit: I can now see on the internet and answers that a TM6 no longer a requirement. Thank you

I am 71 years old and on ME OA (R) Visa issued in South Africa. Valid until 27 Feb 2025. I need to do first one year extension in Feb 2025. I want to use the Income method but my problem is that I only managed to open Bank Account in April.

(We arrived in March) I do have proof of arriving with Forex in excess of Baht 100 k cash for March but will only have bank statements for 11 months to prove 65k income. Will immigration accept the cash forex as income for March to meet the 12 month requirement?

If it is an option could I use a combination Income plus 400k bank

balance ?

We are in Lamai Koh Samui

Thanks folks.

Has anyone applied and received residence certificate at Koh Samui immigration recently? Just getting all our papers together and hoping not to be missing anything 😆

This is the requirement list for non imm O and OA extensions on Koh Samui, and now, also Phangan.

The requirement for a house number photo (Item 12.) is new to me, but no problem.

Item 13. I dont recollect seeing before and dont recognise the numeric 654/2564

Anyone know?

🙏
