Retirement Extension for Dummies

[Surinken]

I agree with Nookiebear.
I'm on a retirement visa and have done my 90 day reports in Pattata,Surin,Korat and Nong Khai and have never had a problem.
I guess being smartly dressed and handsome must help

Thai Immigration says  "Where do you do your 90-day reporting? - It must be done at the immigration office that has jurisdiction over where you live. That means, if you're in Bangkok you will need to go to the Chang Wattana immigration office, if you live in Chiang Mai the immigration office there will cover it."

I now have a Visa Agent in Pattaya do my 90 day reports for me.Costs 100 plus postage.No doubt I'm breaking the law and I will end up getting deported

Procedure and notification
1 The foreigner makes the notification in person, or
2 The foreigner authorises another person to make the notification
3 The foreigner makes the notification by registered mail.
4 The notification must be made within 15 days before or after 7 days the period of 90 days expires.
5 The first application for extension of stay by the foreigner is equivalent to the notification of staying in the Kingdom over 90 days.

Update on using the Mulitple  RE-RETRY PERMIT. 

When you are inbound to Thailand, they give an immigration card.   The arrival portion has a "Visa Number" field. 

Here is it in pictures:

I have a question that's a bit interesting.. My wife is Thai but she is also an American citizen and came here on a US passport and an O-A Visa the same as me.. We both do our 90 day reports and her sister is the one who vouches for both of us.  Our visas are multiple entry (unlimited).. There is no Thai income because all of our income comes from pensions that both of us have.  So I would assume there is no Thai income letter required.  What is the cost of a multi entry extension? and the importance of the Enter no later than date on the visa, especially when it relates to extending and obtaining a multiple entry extension..
Second question.. We just got back from Udon met a couple with the same situation that we have.. His wife is also an American citizen and is here and continued to be here under an O-A visa. She also has a current Thai ID and because she is still recognized as a Thai citizen she doesn't require any seasoning money at all.. If you could find out about that one it could be very useful to some folks here. This lady has both a Thai ID and an American passport with a current O-A visa extension.. When she travels she does so on her American passport.  For most of us that would be talking to KCI and finding out how they read this and could this be done here.. Help GL??? For all we know this may be something that's only done in Udon where they report in..

"

1. Thai income if any has nothing to do with your OA.
2. Single reentry permit is 1000 baht. Multi reentry permit is 3800 baht.
3." Enter by" date is the last day you can enter Thailand and activate your visa. In your case you have to leave and reenter by that date to get your second part of your OA.
4.You are not getting a multiple entry extension.
5. On your second part as I detailed to you by pm when you re enter Thailand you go directly to KCI and for 3800 baht you get a multiple reentry permit which protects your 2 nd part of your OA when you leave Thailand.

As a Thai citizen she can do this (no moneyrequired) but must apply every year for this extension at KCI. It is available but what your wife has gone threw to reestablish her Thai Citizenship I see no point. She is a Thai  Citizen and an American Citizen. Pon would have been illegible for this if she could have proven her Thai Citizenship when she started the process last year. Where this comes into play is when the T/W forgets her Thai passport and uses her US PP to enter Thailand at which point the US PP gets the blunt as an overstay and is subject to fine, 500 baht per day up to 20,000 baht.

GL, I think you mistyped, a single entry permit is 1900 baht, not 1000 baht:

According to the immigration Bureau,

Non-quota immigrant visa outside the annual quota for immigrants admitted to the Kingdom: 
Single entry: 1,900.- Baht
Multiple entries within 1 year: 3,800.- Baht

No, GL  You were correct.   

I was reading the wrong line, I should have kept going down the page: 

Application for re-entry permit 
Single entry: 1,000.- Baht
Multiple entries within remaining period of admission: 3,800.- Baht 
http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=fee

Also TM 8 says 1000 Baht.   


My bad.   
 
 
Kind of goes with my philosophy of life that I learned more from my mistakes than doing things right.  However, in that vein I should be a Fcuking genius know it all by now.  (kind of like Nookie who is without the genius).

Beat me to it by 30 secs. Posted this message and got the warning " a new post has been made. Would you like to check before posting........

"I think you will find that the phrase "single entry permit" refers to the visa or extension itself.

If the OP is on an OA he has a year stamp, right? So if he wishes to leave and come back then he needs a Re entry permit.

A single entry "re entry" permit , for those on an existing visa or extension of stay, is only 1000 baht."
