Is it safe to take a day trip to Singapore from Thailand while on a short visa?

Adam *********

SG is great, I’d spend 4-5 days there, if possible.

Is it legal to volunteer in Thailand on an education, retirement, or spouse visa?

Robert Lagas - even if your picking-up trash on the beach or cut the grass in your community/neighborhood (common area)?

What are the requirements for verifying income for a Non-Immigrant O visa based on retirement in Thailand?

Adam *********

To be clear, there are no changes for the US Emb-BKK re: issuing the income affidavit to date. Unofficial sources have stated that it is under review. Also, as usual there’s a delayed implementation date and the letter is good for 6-months.

Do I need to file a TM 30 every time I leave and re-enter Thailand if I have a 1-year extension of stay in Jomtien?

Adam *********

Did you get this in writing or just a verbal? Who at Immigration articulate this - Immigration Officer vs Chief?

Note: the Thai law cites every time it needs to be reported within 24-hours. Without something in writing it’s just 2nd Hand hear-say!

Do I need to lodge a TM30 notice after returning to Thailand or only when my address changes?

Adam *********

I think some of the confusion at the same office is part of the game/scam so you can be fined later. The law requires it and recommend, regardless what an individual officer says, be respectful and persistent to lodge it so you have a paper copy/receipt in your passport.

Can I use a shared bank account with my wife for the 400K baht requirement in Thailand?

Adam *********

You can use a “joint account” but Immigration will only credit 50% of the deposit to the application.

If I marry a Thai woman, will I need to maintain a bank balance of 850,000 baht like for a retirement visa?

Adam *********

@Tony ********

- per the above, it was mentioned for the marriage Visa/extension but not needed for the retirement Visa/extension.

David Broadfoot - concurr, retirement extension with Emb certified income letter is the way to go (if your eligible).

Adam *********

Respectively, I have a Thai wife (going on 10+ years) and I’m over 50 years old. I opt go the retirement route vs marriage to a Thai. I don’t deposit money in a Thai bank account but get a letter from my Embassy that my retirement income is more than 65k THB a month. Easier —-

Is Thailand becoming less welcoming to Western expats according to recent surveys?

Adam *********

Hope the results if this survey gets forwarded to the PM, Immigration Head, & Tourism Head officials. The survey can be further supported by the recent Chinese express lane at BKK airport; when has Thailand done something like this to encourage Westerner Expats or tourists?
