Foreigners will always be foreigners in Thailand

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

do you have to provide proof of address when you open a bank account with your non 0 ?

When I travel over in January to start my retirement process, I will be initially renting a condo for six months. Will that rent agreement be okay as proof of address. ? Thanks

That’s exactly what Korat immigration told me, I told them my Irish embassy still offers affidavit for pension proof and the lady told me that will be okay in your case. You do not have to deposit the 800 K.

@Tom ********

no ,I am a motorcycle guy and although it’s about. 1 day overstay it just seems to me it’s profiling motorcycles riders as bad people,no offence intended

@Michael *******

ok

what has got to do with a motorbike?

Why not say a car driver or a pick up ,why specifically mention a motorbike?

Are motorcyclist more likely to overstay, I don’t think so, a load of crap

Been going to Thailand for 15 years ,love the place,never ever been questioned at immigration and usually visit times a year if can get cheap flights,never ever being stopped ,all my visits visa exempt and sometimes extended so I cannot believe it’s a problem and I have not seen anyone else been stopped or questioned,very strange all these negative comments

If so cut it to 30 days,if not people will come for 60+30 not illegal,unless they put it in black and white it will always be used to its fullest stay until a IO says no

@Nongnuch *******

thanks for that explained very well, I have an Irish passport and I’m planning on retiring in the New Year and the Irish embassy still certifies pension incomes so I am now led to believe that all I will have to do is provide this affidavit from my embassy to immigration authorities showing a years bank statement with pension income above 65 k per month and with my with my non o 90 day then I will get my one year extension ?

@Benjamin ********

yes I can understand that, but why don’t they just put a hard and fast rule in so everybody knows where they stand?
