@Philip ******

the eVisa you should always print because that PDF is your visa now.

The TDAC I think it was just because it was a new thing and they were working the kinks out of the system

@Philip ******

that's only because they just started it May 1st. Now they can tell when they scan your passport to stamp you in if you have one filed or not and will send you to the kiosks to file one if you don't

BUT

I will agree there is no down side to printing it out 🙂

@Andrew ********

in Jomtien you need to have the 800K baht seasoned for 2 months before you apply for the Non-O from that office

@Pierre *******

you go to the bank and update their information, (you shouldn't get a new bank book unless this one is out because it doesn't show your passport number)

You need the bank letter, a detail print out of 3 months of transactions and update the bank book the date you apply

In Jomtien you need a minimum of 15 days left on your current 60 day visa exempt entry or the 30 day extension from that entry to apply for the in country 90 day Non-O visa.

Remember if you don't come from a country whose embassy here issues the affidavit of income from abroad notary letter (which you use to show proof of funds) in Jomtien you have to have the 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the initial 90 day Non-O visa (most offices only require it in the account on the date you apply BUT not Jomtien)

Okay, one more time people 😛

𝗗𝗧𝗔𝗖 <- 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 is a PHONE COMPANY in thailand

𝗧𝗗𝗔𝗖 <- 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 is a program you use to file an arrival card before you come here

Also make sure you're using the official TDAC website (there are a LOT of clone sites by companies out there)

@Edward *******

yep

@Savannah *********

right, once you submit the application you get the confirmation that you print out and take to the consulate and pay

@Robyn ******

, yep, the requirements for in country extension are just so prohibitive and restrictive that's why people just go back to their country and get another OX from their consulate for the next 5 years

You might want to see if you qualify for the LTR visa (Long Term Residence) visa under the "wealthy pensioner" category. I know many MANY people who were on OX, OA, regular O w/extensions who switched over to the 10 year LTR visa

That visa is issued thru the Board of Investment Thailand

This is their link to the information;

@Savannah *********

you don't MAKE an appointment, you apply online thru the vientiane consulate, you PRINT the confirmation you applied then you go to the consulate between 9 and 11 and pay for the visa

AND

remember what I said about their holiday closures tomorrow and friday, if you're there now and going to apply you can't go to the consulate until MONDAY to pay for the visa
