but if he’s already on an extension ,and leaves on a re entry , returns is he. Ok until the next extension, that’s all I want to know 😉

Baggage claim tickets ? Blimey I haven’t been home for a years you get given claim tickets ? ... and sorry do you mean your 0-A extension ? or new visa

So if you have a current extension ( 0-A ) that is valid ( in my case until next September 2020 ) I won’t need that insurance until I need to renew it ? . I mean if I leave the country on a multi entry , next week in my case , that’s fine no need for insurance on my return in December ... until I come to renew ?

I’m confused , when you arrive in Thailand , and go through immigration, they only want to see your passport surely , I’ve never seen anyone getting out certain paperwork .. surely you have to get this insurance and show it ’ before ‘ you obtain your visa from the Embassy in your home country , otherwise you won’t get that visa , And I’m guessing when you wish to apply for your extension next time round you will also have to obtain insurance ( amongst other things ) at the immigration in Thailand .. Airport immigration I would assume that they would ‘ assume’ you have the necessary requirements otherwise you wouldn’t have a Stamp allowing you in , in your passport ?

I had the same issue 2 extensions back ( 2+ years ago ) .. he said you have yesterday’s date ? .. I said oh , I never knew , but my certificate I just got this morning , I dunno why the date says yesterday? .. it’s ok he said , go to the bank now and come back , no need to get another queue ticket .. which I did , so took about 3 hours but no point in moaning ..😏.

Watching .

Consulate.. I think you mean ?

And if your referring to ‘extending’, a retirement IO non imm , I think you can only do that in Thailand . You only get one visa , after that you apply for extensions .. and if your applying for your first visa , you don’t need 800k in a THAI bank , that’s only when you extend it . And that’s 2 months prior .

I got my yearly extension last week , and am leaving thailand for 2 weeks on 10th Nov ... because I obtained extension prior to the 31st , can I assume when I return on the 22nd , I won’t be challenged or refused entry for not having health insurance.. as it only applies for those applying from the 31st ? .. ( effectively I have just under a year to sort it ? )

@Michael *******

you do as of October 31st

@Robert ******

thanks Robert I’m going down there tomorrow morning , but what I never mentioned was I had a neighbor who did he’s 90 day report on Monday , and all the officer said to him was , you can do your extension a month early you know , no mention of a TM30 . 🙄
