: AND with an O visa you can only stay 90 days. So you need an extension of stay for which you also need the money in Thailand.

@Stuart ********

, In Korat it states in Thai that the Certificate of Residence is valid for 30 days !! Is it different from other imm. offices ?

@Steve ******

. Yep, in some time I have the same question I guess. Maybe for me it's a bit more easy, because now I am registered in the house of my girlfriend but I/we are building a new house about 50m further. So everything stays the same except for the house number. I just ask in my local Amphur where I got it from I think. Maybe ask your new Amphur how they handle that. Would be nice to know indeed. Little bit the same for my Thai drivers license. On the back is my address too 🤷‍♂️

Aha

@Paulie ********

, that I did not read/understand in the original message. When that's the case, then maybe an emergency passport will help as already sugested 🤷‍♂️

Aha

@Jo**

, THAT's a "good one" indeed. Did not think about that. 🙄

@Craig *********

, not sure about a border hop out/in Thailand again in e.g. Laos for 45 days from tomorrow on with passport not valid for more than 6 months. Ask in Thai visa advice group to be sure.

@Sinsupa *******

. No. In this case (incountry non imm O) it's one or the other. But let him ask in his imm. office because you'll never know. Maybe one alternative also to consider is a trip to e.g. Laos (Venetiane or Savanakhet) and BUY a non imm o over there at the Thai embassy.

@Sinsupa *******

; Not for the "incountry" Non imm O alas. It has to be transfered from abroad. Later the 800k฿ must be in his bank account 2 months before he asks a year extension. Then he must use the already transfered money in his Thai bank account. Should he already has that money in the Thai bank, which is a decent amount for most people, he CAN consider to send it back to his home bank account and send it back to his Thai bank again. But most probably this will cost some money due to bank costs and maybe exchange rate difference. I THINK if he has transfered it in parts before, that he can use the multiple parts also if it's together 800k฿.

But also don't forget the possibility of having an income statement from the German Embassy. If its more then 65k฿ per month.

@Sinsupa *******

. Yes can be done, but alas not every imm. office does this as

@Stu***

says. So you have to ask 'your' imm. office if they do. Then you have to ask for the handout when you can do it over there. Most important what I understand is that you have a Thai bank account. Sometimes you can do it with an income statement from y'r embassy, but many times you need to transfer 800k฿ (or 400k฿ when based on marriage) as international transfer on that bank account in your name only. But you have to ask. For Germans visa exempt is 30 days (From 1st of october 45 days) indeed. Which you can extend for 30 days should you need more time.

It's the same when book a flight ticket. Y'r name must be exactly as in y'r passport. In my passport it's "Petrus" but my call name is "Peter". So tickets have to be booked with "Petrus". Some airliners can correct this for some money, but some don't if it's not the passport name. Guess this is about a same problem. 🤷‍♂️
