  1. I find some comments rude here, is that necessary? I came to Thailand alone many years, had fun with Thai women, can be great. But one time in Philippines, and I was hooked. But not wanted to marry. So the girl saw me a few months a year, when I came to Thailand, and came from Philippines. After a few years, could not live without her, because if a girl is so genuine, and cares, has nothing to prove to you, I could not resist. After all these years, we installed in Thailand, got later married, and it is the best decision of my life. Her English is perfect, we talk about everything, have fun, and she not mind the age difference and is fun. When you live here, you meet other couples like us, and everyone is happy. If you decide to live in Philippines, why you think that Thai girls do seldom, the opposite move? She is no demanding not in for gold and is the opposite of a moneypit. Her family are nice people, who despite not being brought up with any money have values. I love them.
  2. In fact I have yes. All of it. First it is very long. Second, my native tongue is not English, so I could have misinterpreted some things. And about my question, I have thought that if you have no taxable INCOME (not transfer), no declaration is needed in my case. But on other places they say opposite, that as a foreigner here over 180 days, have to anyway.
  3. I have a question. some things seam clear, others not. I got a list from Belgian embassy, and that is you have to declare your income, or part of it, you get from Belgian and then NOT to be double taxed, give proof. This proof, has to be translated and certified by the Embassy! Cost cost on things that have been payed in land of origin already. The rates in Belgium are very high. But please enlighten me on this. I transfer amounts to Thailand. But I have no INCOME! Nothing, zero zero. On onher fb forums there is discussions what to do in this case. If I understand well, I only have to ask a Tin, if I consider myself to fall in to the category of being obliged to. Transfer on themself are not taxable. How can I not have income? It is particular. I am 64, and been mostly independent. I have sold my property 2 years ago, and on that alone, can live easy for 10 years here. Money from before, inheritance, selling my company, years ago has been BORROWED to a company. The company bought with it serviced apartments. They cash the rent, pay taxes in Europe, but they pay me back, without INTEREST, over the next 20 years. So this and many years, I can easily live on this. My proof is a contract signed with the company, a statement from director, and most important the balance sheet of the company showing the debt towards me. So, I can just leave it like that, considered I have no gain, just my own money is returned over 20 years? No need to ask for Tin? And if they find me, I just explain, why I not fill in a tax document?
  4. Sorry, if I not read this well before. I came back from Philippines with my wife today, and registered on site. I did this as a owner, for myself. I can find the registration, I can find even the PDF. But on that document is nowhere stated TM30. So how can I put for us a tm 30 in passport, when this seem just a confirmation, I registered myself as owner? Thank you for help.
  5. Ok, just this. I have an old TM 30. I am manager of my own company. I registered this all, 2 years ago, in Jomtien, and that is the place I am living there. Like I said here before, when in March 2022, I came back, reported it, they say no need too. 2 weeks ago I went for a certificate of residence, I went back to Europe this year in June and not reported for a new TM 30, because of this. They made no problem, not asked for a new TM 30 to be made first. But my concern is that if I register my house on the site now, they will see, that I not reported. Can I register as owner, and report when I come back end December, from Philippines? I am on retirement visa.
  6. As all the documents are in Thai, could you maybe post, examples of that set of documents, could be useful, for everyone here that not understand Thai. I would be obliged.
  7. 2 weeks is very long, and could get some in trouble, to renew in time. I am Flemish, what you exactly mean by aggregated
  8. Also if no transactions below the 800.000? I have around one mille on the account, and sometimes I get some off and some on. Even without activity, the bank will deduct costs, once and a while. Thing is, you need one week to get th one year statement, is it then up to date, the day you receive it?
  9. Good topic. Just one thing I not understand well. I do the 800.000 method. some things are payed with the bankaccount it stays on. I NEVER go below 800.000, am comfortably above. So could it be accepted, that I just update the bank book, then ask the letter. Make copies then of the bankbook, and go to immigration? If I ask a statement of a year activity, I only get it a week later, so makes not much sense.
  10. Thanks for, the link. The only thing stated in my posts, is that they ask more information now, about where you live, and need more proof of that. The other questions are answered in your link.
  11. Where did you get that? Not at all. I never said I already went. I clearly state "it seems". One person, gone recently, needed more proof of where to stay, when not needed before, the other was denied, even with proof visa, and had immigration give a visit, in Prae. So as I have to renew as soon as possible, the post is about, if other people, at Jomtien, were ask to give more proof of residence, and which pages I have to copy of my passport. Now if it not happen to you, good, which not means, it was not asked to others. The part of having parts in company of my house, is for others irrelevant. It has nothing to do with it, other, you need other proof then to rent.
  12. Never understand much of these qualification, if I am right Non O extension retirement....
  13. Uh, not really. I have a small FB forum for Belgian expats. Members reported this, wo RECENTLY went to immigration. One in Prae, got full treatment. Denying 2 times and coming home with 2 officers, asking neighbors if he lived there and was a good neighbor. With pictures taken laptop, 2 extra officers. This is extreme, and I am not talking about THIS particular case. it is not about firms, just that you have to show more proof of stay to immigration...
  14. I have yet, not been asked anything. I was reported, they became annoying about your registered place of living, not company related. Last year, they were very helpful, but that is what living in Thailand is all about. Little rules, with no sense that changes.
  15. Hi there. I have to renew my retirement visa and the following spouse of my wife. after a year you forget some things. What copy of which pages they want from passport? Now in Jomtien, Chonburi, they seem to ask new things. Not know if it is true. I do my retirement myself. No need for agency, as I have all requirements. But now they want again other proof of where you live. I am NOT tenant, I have parts in company, owning my house. I registered already my place of stay at immigration (have paper in passport). It is said to me , I need DLT clearance, of all shareholders of company, and show copy of their yellow book. Not understand this procedure at all. And if it is really asked. Be aware, for the moment, immigration, not asked this to me, it was reported, when asking for requirements to renew, on forum. Some have more information about this?
  16. Not at all. I not participate in any way in nightlife. I could not live IN the city though. You have to say Pattaya area. I not like the city, although having an evening with beachview to have dinner, is nice. I live 10 km from the town, among Thai and expats, with such a different atmosphere. Left I go to the busy town, with all the shops I need, right I can drive for hours, seeing only nature. Where I live, it could be Phuket, Samui. Najomtien, have some cozy restaurants on beach, can go to Bang Saray. Go to town, for what I need it. I can order Japanese from my house, can eat Belgian, and there are places enough, in and around town to have a nice evening. Jazz music at "à la campagne", some other live music and cocktails near the beach. And I am less then 5 minutes from the 7 highway, that takes me to BKK, without crossing the city.
  17. No, I went myself. See no harm in checking this. Money never left account, and some hs even been added. Just want to do the things right. Yes I used the first time an agent. But that was covid time, and things had to go fast. Now immigration, were very helpful to do it myself, and feel much more comfortable.
  18. No that is impossible, as I did my report on line already. Prefer to do what they ask.
  19. Hello, I renewed my retirement visa at Jomtien - Chonburi office. This was rather simple. Now they made appointment on 25 th September, to check if the 800.000, is still on my account. Some questions. Do I only need to update, my bankbook, make copy of it, and first page of my passport, and the visa stamp they ngave me 3 months ago. So no official update/letter from bank? As 25 th is a Sunday, do I have to go on 26 th? Would there be a problem if I go 27 th? Thank you!
  20. Just update. They accepted the combination of having money in the bank, and monthly, but asked to next time use one method. 3800 bht (wife following ) and done. Bye bye agency.
  21. I said I go to Jomtien immigration, not that they are stupid. it is stupid that one transfer arrived in beginning of April in stead of end of March....
  22. I know these agents, and their prices. Last time I had problems coming back to Thailand, with their work.... But can you tell me, in case of 800.000 on the account, how many months bank statements they need? that no one could tell me....
  23. Yes Jomtiem. it is stupid. I have enough to provide, did every month since obtaining visa, far over 65.000 bht transfer. have 880.000 on top of that in other bankaccount. And yet got to start from scratch again, because one month was deposited too late, being in Europe.
  24. Age 62 Wife for following visa, 32 Nationality Belgian Wife Philippine I have a complicated matter concerning extension of retirement visa, and with this also the follower visa of my wife. To be short. We arrived before covid. My wife, to whom I was not married to, at the time, went to Philippines to take care of her dying father, when 15 days later the country closed. I was on multiple entry visa at the time, and exploring the possibility to install in Thailand. To not take the risk to have the obligation to leave the country, a visa office arrange retirement visa, that was also done by an agency. My wife came back in January 2021, after being separated for almost a year. We married in October last year. Immigration allowed exceptionally at that time a following visa due to covid (normally you have to ask this at an embassy outside Thailand). But now our visa has to be extended before 25 th July. I am tired to pay fortunes at visa offices, they are very, very expensive. So I thought I would be fine myself, as I transferred a few million baht to my account, the last year (bought a condo). But I went a month to Europe with my wife (yes we thought about re - entry permit), but not did a transfer that month. That is the problem with sometimes strange rules. I can proof, I have enough to live on in Thailand, with all the transfers I done, but omitting one month to put money on the account, is probably going to screw me. I also have a statement of the firm, I invested my money in, that they give me an allowance of 3000 € a month as income. But one month not thinking about the transfer is going to give me problems, I am sure. I could use a second possibility. I have over 800.000 for 3 months on my account. Great you would say that is your solution! Only that if for extension, I should have proof I let it on the account, 3 months after the extension last year. If someone sees another solution then paying over and over again big amounts of money to an agency, all advice welcome. For next year I will make automatic transfer every month, but now I am lost.
  25. Everything is in fact in the title. If even with the appointment, the line is necessary, I have to go much earlier.
