that's how it is printed on the embassy website. However, IF Immigration asks, they will always ask for 20K person and 40K per family. Immigration doesn't care what the Thai embassies publish

@Sue *********

yes, you are right, I should have said different Immigration offices. However, different DLT's can indeed have different requirements, too.

For example, some DLT’s don’t accept your yellow housebook and insist on a fresh certificate of residency. Other DLT’s accept the yellow housebook (happened to me!)

You can easily find reports all over Facebook groups from people making different experiences on different DLT's.

And the same, of course, goes for Immigration offices . .

many offices interpret the police orders differently.

For example, Jomtien Immigration is one of these "bad offices" when it comes to an application for the "change of visa type" from a tourist visa to a 90-days Non-Imm-O visa.

They are setting a wholly absurd rule (contrary to what the police order says) for an applicant if he is doing the financial proof by the deposit method, a rule that most cannot comply with

@Jessika ******

of course you need to be registered by TM30, or the Immigration won't let you ask for anything

@Jessika ******

for driving license renewal, I did my residence certificate in Sisaket, two passport pictures required because one of it gets glued to the certificate. 200 Baht fee, because it gets issued on the spot! Different Immigrations, different process

normally. according to the police order, a "certificate of residence" is issued on the spot, given that you show up with two passport pictures and the TM30 registration done

@John ******

. . . 🧐 and where did you read that?

@Galen *****

absolutely right . . . the process at those that are left for walk-up, might be taking a few days, if not over a week

@Tim ********

the TM30 registration has nothing to do with the 90-day report duty. Two completely different things

Bob D'Andrea . . . . . Not ALL of the embassies and consulates in South East Asia will move to the e-Visa system

Tod Daniels announced a few days ago:

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

The following Thai consulates in S/E Asia will go to online e-Visa applications ONLY starting the 8th of Oct.

They will discontinue any walk up/in person visa applications at that time.

Actually some of them stopped accepting in person applications already and have consular services closed until they open on the e-Visa system on Tuesday

Vietnam - Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City

Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Bharu

Cambodia - Phnom Penh

The following consulates are still walk up consulates (they will not be changing to e-Visa at this time) BUT you need to book an appointment online to get in the gate:

Lao - Vientiane, Savannakhet

Burma - Yangon

The following consulates are walk up consulates no appointment needed:

Indonesia - Jakarta

Taiwan - Taipei

Philippines - Manila

The following are estimates. Agent’s fees differ a bit

*** 2000.- THB for the initial 90-days Non-O visa, and 1900.- THB for the 12-months extension of stay, if you use your own 800.000.-THB and do everything by yourself, plus 1000.- THB for a single re-entry permit

*** around 9500.- and 12.500.- THB if you use your own 800.000.- THB in a Thai bank account, and use an agent service. It should include a single re-entry permit
