The easiest way going south and looking for dolls is the South-Pattaya Rd.

Cool your head with ice cubes. Flip Flops doesn't help. 🙈

A norwegian driving license only is not valid in Thailand. You need an international driving license in combination with your norwegian one. You can drive with it in Thailand only 3 months. After 3 months you must have a Thai driving license. Driving without a valid driving license is driving without any insurances.

Thank you very much, Brandon!. The Admin can close my case now !

If you receive your Non-O Visa by Email, after you came to Thailand on a visa exempt, you don't need to go back to France but you must leave Thailand to a neighboring country and enter the kingdom again with this valid Visa in your hands. As a French citizen you don't need a Thai bank account, you only need an affidavit letter to confirm your income in the year 2023 from a French Embassy or a French Consulate. Follow the advices of Jan Kenneth Nesland. His advices are the best.

You don't need an appointment, but it's better to call his office first, because he is not in the office every day. The office time is from 11am to 4pm from Monday to Thursday. Call his secretary. When you have to apply for a 1 year extension of stay, your income certificate from the consul should not be older than 1 month.

@Deniz ********

You must show a document about your income in year 2023, nothing more. I do it every year.

You can get the pension certificate from Consul Hofer, for example, if you are near Pattaya (on North Pattaya Road, in the Pattaya Garden Resort area). Phone: 2634, cost: approx. 1300 baht. If your documents are correct, you can get the certificate immediately

It all depends on 1. which immigration and 2. which day. Mondays are impossible. Month of may has some holidays and closing time is 4:30pm. Avoid a heart attack ! Take your time and check your documents, especially TM30
