.....it was about extensions

Fly in, first visit, receive 60 days ( visa waiver ) ....which can be extended by 30 days,

Second visit ( by air ) receives another 60 days, but this second visit can only be extended by 7 days

giving a total of 157 days in any 12 month period

No extensions will be given to entering via a land border

and no leaving or returning on the same day....

@Andreas ********

....except ....that the first visa free entry grants 60 days ...which can be extended by another 30 days ....the second entry, will give another 60 days ....but....this will allow a further extension of only 7 days ..... giving a total of

157 days within any 12 month period..... ...

Yeah....I transfer mine around the start of each month, but not on the exact same date though

As an aside for my yearly extension my immigration office ....( Prachinburi ) Require.....the proof of income from my embassy.....which has to be 'stamped' at the Thai Consulate.....

Up to date ( that very same day ) bank book

Letter from the bank, confirming the overseas

Monthly bank transfers

Photos of me ( with my Thai girl ) inside and outside our home

As well as a diagram showing the location of the house within the neighborhood.....

@Tony ********

....I came in ( about 3 years ago ) on my second passport, having been in and out several times already ......after a few short seconds, the Immigration Officer looked up at me .. and said very quietly ....two passports?..... I nodded,

He smiled and stamped me in ....

So, as you say ...they know.... instantly

Phil Beer .... Prachinburi

And yeh, I will need to go to the MFA....

@Mikael *********

... Yep ...I thought ( obviously wrongly ) that the income certificate from my Embassy would suffice .....ohhh no ....

You are best checking with your the immigration dept in your province ...for their requirements...👍

@John *********

.. incorrect ...my Embassy surely does ....but that was far from enough ( as I stated ) for the immigration at Prachinburi....🙈🙈

At my immigration office ( Prachinburi )

To open a bank account I had to obtain an authorisation letter from immigration to take to the bank.

Upon applying for the yearly extension, I too, had to receive a proof of income certificate from my embassy....( Prachinburi IO instructed me that I had to have this income certificate, corroborated and stamped at The Thai consulate....🙈🙈)

I also had to show proof of 65,000 Thb being deposited monthly into my Thai bank account,

an up to date, bank book, showing current balance,

and....a confirmation letter confirming the deposits from my bank. ( dated the same day as my application )

They also required photos of the house where I am living ....inside and out

As well as a diagram showing the locality and positioning of the house

and the required passport size photo ..........

Just my experience.....🙈🙈🙈

@Dave ********

.....

They are closing your account ....

Ohhh but they insist that you continue to make any outstanding payments ....🙈🙈

Ohhh ....but wait .....

'we're here to help'..........ohhh the irony .....🙈🙈
