I have to deal with the Jomtien office. I just got my first one-year extension on my Non-O retirement visa.

My issue now is I want to buy a vehicle in Thailand.

I understand I need a 'Residence Certificate' to make such a purchase. I read on the net that the forms have to be submitted and then they send the certificate out like 2 or 3 weeks later! I cannot expect a seller to hold a vehicle for 2 or 3 weeks.

I need a certificate ASAP if possible. I read there are an agents service I can buy and get the certificate in one day for like 500 baht. Can you tell me if that is possible in Jomtien please?

I also read somewhere that I cannot even get a Residency Certificate until I make my first 90 reporting. That seems very much not right, but I realize this is Thailand. So if that is true, I have no hopes of getting a Residency Certificate until that 90 days rolls around anyway, right?

Thanks much for any advice or info you can give me!

Edit: My IO is in Jomtiem.

Hello, my non o visa is due for extension on 10 December 2024, under the 800k method. My plan next year is to use the 65k per month when I renew on 10 December 2025. So my question is, if I want to change method, when do I need to make the first 65k transfer please ? My plan is to commence 65k transfers in November 2024 so by the time I try for extension in December 10 2025, I will have 12/13 monthly transfers to show. Does this work? Another question is, I intend to withdraw 400k, 3 months after my 2024/5 extension, do I have to keep 400k until 2 months before December 2025 when I change methods ? Do I put the other 400k back in 2 months before, so that when I change methods in December 2025, I have 800k and 12 months receipts for the 65k method? A long post sorry, I couldn’t see this in previous posts. Thanks

I do not get private messages so if you have any genuine recommendations of someone who can help reply in main thread. I’m in view talay 2 a area , so as close as possible . Thanks in advance

My DTV visa got approved from New Delhi Thai Embassy, can anyone please tell me where do we have to do 90 days reporting if we are in pattaya?

Tourist Visa Extension Report. Jomtien Immigration. Arrived at 8.30 am and I was out at 9am. It took 30 minutes and it wasn't busy.

Needed passport photo, TM7 form filled out, TM30 docket plus photo copy of it, passport, passport bio page copy, visa copy and entry stamp copy.

I didn't really know where to go but went to the building on the right and was directly pointed to the new middle building where they did document checking. Passed that and was directed to main building counter one, handed over passport and papers and the 1900 baht and was told to take a seat and wait until processed. Took about 25 minutes guy calls my number and it was all done. Cost 1900 baht. You can do it yourself, all good.

Hi, just wondering what documents you need to take to immigration to get your residency certificate in Jomtien?

Also wondering if you can do this in the afternoon, I know the Visa applications are cut off for the day if you don't get there by about 10:00 a.m.

Well heck, I have run across another confusing aspect to me regarding my initial application for a Non-O 'Retirement visa' (the 90 day initial visa).

I have read and read dozens of sources and watched all kinds of You Tube videos, plus read the form given to me by immigration regarding the specific requirements for WHEN to present 800K baht in my bank book, along with a bank letter.

About half of what I see is that there is no need to present the bank account papers for the initial 90 day visa. ONLY when you apply for the one year extension near the end of the 90 day period are the bank papers needed.

Obviously only one of those suppositions is correct.

BUT, my immigration application instructions from Jomtien says I DO need to present my bank papers during this initial application for the 90 day visa (Non-O).

I am dizzy with trying to get the straight scoop on this matter.

Naturally I would lean towards what the immigration instructions spells out. If those instructions are accurate, why is there so many sources saying otherwise?

I ask not for speculation, but rather an answer related to your informed knowledge or your experience.

THANKS for your valuable input!

I want to get the resident certificate at Jomtien immigration. Can i get in at the same day and how much they cost?

If I stay in Pattaya for 60 Days but do not get a 30 Day Extension. Where is closest Border to Cross and Re-Enter without traveling back to Bangkok to Fly out ?

Jomtien 90 day report info.

In the last week of March I stopped into the Jomtien office to ask if a new TM30 would be required if I go to Bangkok and stay in a hotel for a night, then return to my regular long term address in Jomtien. She said no need to file a new TM30 and assured me it would not be a problem filing my next 90day report online as usual.

Yesterday at 4pm I filed the new 90day report online. Today at 3pm I received the APPROVED email.

😁👍🏼. No problems.
