Si Racha office now requires 12 months bank transaction report in addition to bank book and bank letter. I was lucky to get my extension approved.

Also a 90 day O retirement issued at Embassy in Washington, DC

Are you planning to overstay or are you in the midst of an overstay now? If currently not yet on overstay, it would be best for you to go to your local immigration office, pay the 1900 and get an extension. Unless you’re already on an extension.

@Namphu ******

You must be joking.

@Michael ******

Some farang only want to settle near large farang populated areas. We drive through Phayao on our way to Chiang Rai.

@Roberto ********

Assuming he goes to Immigration today. I will ask tomorrow.

@Roberto ********

If no stamp, will the IO only give a receipt for 1900 and not the 500?

@Galenus *****

Nice try to be funny 😡

@John ********

I think you might be right, HOWEVER, if someone is deliberately trying to screw the immigration system, they should have the extra precaution handy. Thai immigration doesn’t do favors for people. Their function is to stop people from attempting to live here without proper documentation, trying to pass as tourists. A return ticket to my home country is more credible than a cheap ticket out on a low cost airline or a completely bogus airline ticket.

Perhaps your post should have mentioned your Non-B visa at the beginning. You would have gotten answers to your specific situation.
