Just tell them you have taken advise and want to keep your visa as it and it’s perfectly okay to have a work permit

@Sam *****

great article and correct.

@Graham *****

agree with that. Clamping down on abuse of the system for sure. Should just get the right visa for your stay

Thai girlfriend and they could work.

@Brandon ***********

I did for my girlfriend and daughter yes

Long I hope for the days when you can get a 5 year visa for less than baht and only report at the end of the 5 years like the Netherlands

@Eric *******

until I do the first one can’t really help but one office4 told me see you in 5 years so might just do that 😂

@Peter ********

just told them I have enough money not to worry and they agreed

@Eric *******

each year and then T 5 year is renewed for another 5 years. After that a new visa type

@Eric *******

you get different stories but figured out you DO still need to do the 90 day report ( don’t forget to ask your first hotel or landlord to advise the TM30 when you first arrive otherwise 800 baht fine like I had) and then at the year you should prove you have the funds in your account 3 min or 1.5 min with a minimum pension or support of I think 75k per month. I have not got there yet nor have I transferred any cash and going back to the UK for 6 months but will figure that one out later.
