why would an application to a 12-months Extension of Stay based on Retirement cost more than the usual 1900.- THB fee, plus the 3800.- THB for the multi re-entry permit? Did you use an agent ?

@Jeffrey ******

you went to apply for the marriage 1-year extension but left Immigration with a retirement extension? How much THB did you prove in your bank account, 400K or 800K ?

well, the guy wants to be the manager of a Thai lead hostel, not work as a manager for a large international hotel chain. That's why I said he won't get a work permit for this function. That there are foreign managers holding work permits in, for example, any IBIS or HILTON hotel, I won't dispute

@Andrew ******

watch your wording: She did not get a "visa stamped into her passport". She got a 60-days stay permit stamped into her passport. The Tourist Visa she used for entering Thailand, became invalid when she entered . . . However your advice regarding re-entering Thailand after a stay in, for example, Cambodia, is correct.

@Lynda *******

does not need to apply for another 60-days Tourist Visa by the E-Visa online system in Phnom Penh , she can enter visa-exempt, will be stamped in for a 60-days stay permit, and can extend for 30 more days

@Garrett **********

it depends. You are only allowed to watch. You are not allowed hands on! No book-keeping, no administrative work. Not even allowed to move a chair 😄

@Ralph ******

he forgot to mention: on tourist visa with the help of an agent

visit an agent, they can open a bank account for you on any visa. In Pattaya, F.S. Consulting Co Stefan Fabbro are taking only 5000.- THB for this service

@Cullen *********

you are not allowed to work as a hostel manager in Thailand, not even in a position of a shareholder. And by the way, 200,000.- THB will get you nowhere in Thailand. Or did you really think the price of two Honda PCX's will open any doors as an "investor"? You should be aware that anything up from 2 million Baht would be seen as an investment. Thais, however, will thankfully take it all before they will find ways to get you banned from their country

@Arvind ******

not "after 60 days" but well BEFORE the 60-days stay permit expires, you can either extend with 30 days on Immigration for 1900.- THB, or exit Thailand and get stamped in another 60 days upon re-entering Thailand. If you exit and re-enter just before the expiry of the visa validity, you get almost 8 months out of this visa. With another 30-days extension, this would result in an almost 9 months stay

@Kevin *****

you can get up to almost 9 months stay out of this visa
