Hi all. I will soon need to leave Thailand for the sake of changing employers. I only have 18 days remaining on my visa and work permit, so not enough time to transfer to my new workplace (teacher).
To the point, which place is quickest and cheapest to obtain a tourist visa, so my new employer can start processing my future work permit and Non B visa. What requirements does a tourist visa applicant need to fulfill these days? I haven't done this for many years.
Now i try to receive allowance for working in Thailand and my company say yes after four years fighting but only for 25 working days in a year. I try to contact the "Thai Konsulat in Munic" if they accept also a guarantee instead of the 500.000 deposit but i receive no answere. I try also to talk to them via phone but it is impossible to receive someone on the phone. And the risk that they deny my visa as a workcation and loose money is too high. And when it happen they don't give you the reason. So i will give up now. Sorry for try to work in Thailand. I will wait now for my retirement.
Lesson learn: sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.
Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice regarding my marriage visa.
I renewed my Non-O Marriage Visa about a month ago, and immigration told me to come back on July 2nd to collect the stamp for the new year. Unfortunately, I missed the date and plan to go on July 7th (5 days late).
Has anyone had a similar experience?
Will there be a problem or a fine?
Do I need to restart the process, or will they just give me the stamp with a late fee?
Hi guys quick question. I have been in Thailand on a non b with a work permit for 12 months which expired on the 30th of June. I left Thailand on the 23rd of June and plan to re-enter on the 5th of July (visa exemption). This is my first ever visa exemption. Uk passport holder. Do you think I will have any issues?
I went to Thai Revenue department (Chalong) earlier with all the correct paperwork and they told me I couldn't get a TIN taxpayer number until after the tax year has ended. Is this normal? (doesn't sound like a smart way of doing things)
Edit: Sounds like it's just another case of ineptitude and I wont be able to sort this out at the office. Does anyone know an agent that will get me a TIN now for a decent price?
Edit 2: Went again armed with a wall of pre translated text from my accountant everything everything, and despite this I had to spend a whole hour repeatedly schooling them on the law, accounting and the revenue code, with them accepting my arguments each time and then changing the subject and perpetually and erroneously inventing new things I'd need to get the TIN, and after an hour of debunking and debating with 4 staff they just went right back to the start as if we hadn't spoken yet, and at that point I had to just throw in the towel because it was obvious that we weren't going to get anywhere. The principal lady that dealt with me was incredibly smug and rude and childish, and it was very obvious that she simply didn't want me to succeed.. the problem wasn't my paperwork, logic or position; it was her/what she represented. Politeness got me nowhere.
I know there are some dumb questions and anonymous posts (I am still waiting for my approval after 3 weeks in Sydney) but can we try and be a bit nicer? It seems to be getting really snarky here.
Hello, I really don't understand what happened, I got my visa "approved" few days ago, with a mail, my downloadable e-visa, and today I received a fake looking mail saying my application was rejected" with just link to click. I thought it was a scam, checked on the real website and the status of my visa is "reject visa application", what happened ? I fulfilled every criteria, told my family I was approved etc.
PS: I edited the post with screenshots. Don't mind the "fake looking e-mail" this is just my feelings because I'm really confused right now. The actual status on the official website is REJECTED
I applied for a non B visa online while in Cambodia on June 9. I am still stuck on pending approval, and my flight is on June 29. Calling the embassy has been no help so far.
Is it an option for me to go to Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for my non B to be approved and then go back to Cambodia and re-enter? Or is my only option to postpone my flight?
