So I left Thailand and reentered on my DTV back in April. Today I went to report my address for the 90 day report.
Had all my documents in order (or so I thought).
I did not know you needed a TM30 for each time you exit and reenter Thailand. Immigration official’s smile immediately fades when she looks me up in the system and asks why my TM30 is dated for July and not April.
Well, “There was a typo in my name”, I said.
She said, “No, where is your TM30 for April. You only have two TM30s. Where is owner. Charge ฿1600. Contact owner right now. Do not leave. You call I speak to owner.”
Condo Owner: not responding to texts or calls
Me: the genius who left his wallet back at the condo, because, “Oh, immigration is just a short stroll to the beach, I’ll be in and out.”
Currently sitting here hoping they’ll let me return with the money. Each time they ask for owner, they just get angrier and angrier. Dear God
Update: They let me come back with the money. Got my receipt and I swear to God I’ll never make that mistake again 🤣
Anyone else had problems with NCU (north Chiang Mai university)? I was on a year ED visa with them and was planning on getting on the DTV next.
Well upon asking for a visa cancellation letter to exit the country before the end of the ED visa, I learnt that my visa was cancelled over 3 months ago. Apparently they cancelled 1000 students visas at the time. Didn’t bother to inform anyone. This is totally absurd, but I find myself illegal now, and most likely blacklisted.
If you had similar experience or know somone, please contact me. And if your planning on taking classes with that school please don’t.
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
