Max69xl Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 11 hours ago, cyril sneer said: so what happens when the 90-day is reinforced? do we all get fined for doing it late? Why would that happen? Don't be paranoid. The skipped 90 days reporting will probably last until April 30,then extended another 30 days if the situation hasn't improved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vermin on arrival Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) From the US embassy website. Still very focused in scope. Tourist Visas Expiring on/after March 26 Extended The Ministry of Interior announced today that tourists (including U.S. citizens) who hold visas expiring on or after March 26 will benefit from an automatic 30-day extension. There is no need to apply for the extension at a local immigration office. Edited April 8, 2020 by vermin on arrival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to apply for the extension at a local immigration office. it's crystal: permit to stay 26/mar (state of emergency commencement) or later will get amnesty to stay as long as emergency decree in place at least till 30apr thus who have overstayed since 26th or later should also be included. only those who have overstayed prior to 26th are in trouble... 90day reports. who care but they are covered too presumedly. it makes sense its late but better than never immigration can now shut down if need be but at least close all extra/special satelite offices & wave goodbye to chaos for a while ???? thanks finally! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted April 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2020 11 hours ago, webfact said: The plans are just waiting for approval from Prime Minister Prayuth, Richard tweeted. It could well be that he is reluctant, because if farangs can get away with it, (the 90 day reporting), he may feel that it will open up a can of worms, meaning, why even bother with 90 day reporting in the first place. If Mr Prayut is a real leader he would come up with the suggestion of no more 90 day reporting for the long term residence who reside here in Thailand on annual extensions, and on top of that he should add, that wen long term farangs extend their renewals, they should only provide immigration with an up to date photo, confirm they are still living at the same address and have the same contact details, otherwise they should be updated. Now how easy would that be, but finding real leaders in today's world is kind of hard. so I won't be putting any money on this great idea. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give u first 3 months free so u only pay 4500 bht. Takes minumin 7 days to clear bkk main office as the local branches will print the 36 plus pages, 3 pages per month of all transactions for the year. If u want quicker than 7 days, u pay more and the branch worker can make it happen. Kasikorn! Sounds as though his transfers weren't coded International so had to request credit advice receipts for the previous 12 months. He could order them to be posted each month for each transfer free. He only needs to request a 12 month statement of International transfers from the HQ. Copying of Passbook pages and other copies he could have done himself. He was screwed because of own ignorance.

As per Barry it covers 'everyone' i.e. non imm./voa/exempt/tourist/etc nobody needs to go and extend but if you normally extend 1 year visa obviously you may not be happy with just couple months & possibly get your extension history 'broken' but then again its free ~1-2 months amnesty why not take it it may never happen again ever? ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only needs to request a 12 month statement of International transfers from the HQ. Copying of Passbook pages and other copies he could have done himself. He was screwed because of own ignorance. Not certain of that. Here is what he was told by the immigration officer verbatim. 1.Credit Advice/ receit This is a 3 page report of international wire transfer. Kasikorn prints this transaction out, 3 pages x 12 months. It provides tax ID. in usa Transaction reference or my USA bank address. Confirmation that my USA bank sent a minimum 65000bht to kasikorn Bank. It shows ordering customer or me and address in Thailand. Principle sent, commission, domestic fee transfer, lease line charges, total wire fee. Authorized by kas. Bank, the amount, rate I received, and origination of wire. Comes with bank stamp, x 12 months at 3 pages per month printed. 2. 12 month statements of my kasikorn credits and debits for 1 full year printed out in full. Every purchase is noted for 1 year x 12 plus pages depending on activity. 3.Bank letter 1 page, confirming 12 months of a minumin 65000 bht per month, every month of year, prior to applying for 1 year retirement visa. It shows yearly gross deposit, easy for immigration officer to cross reference all forms that figures add up to the minimum within time frame. 4. Update balance Copies of entire bank book from records of kasikorn accounts, another 12 months of my complete year of processed accounts, debits, credits, etc. Kasikorn printed me 3 free months, for free up front, normally 5000 bht for 12 months of credit advice, 9 months only 4500 bht. Pay up front, then hope 7 days later, I come back to kasikorn to sign nearly 60+ pages of documents at kasikorn. An extra 200 bht for bank letter. Also had to copy and print passport pages at a fee? Once total 4500 bht fee was payed, the Hua hin branch would send or call the main branch in Bangkok that funds are payed. Then Kasikorn bank in bkk authorizes the extra 9 months to be printed at Hua Hin. This time takes 7 days. In my case I had only 3 days left before my visa expired.

Kwaibill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So the PM has signed the proposed measure. Any idea yet what is involved? I presented my wife with the Thai text, but not surprisingly it is in theThai version of obfuscucianism. On a more specific note will TM 30 reporting be affected? We went straight into 14 day isolation and couldn't seem to make the online reporting work on our cell phones. (We are both old by Thai standards????????).
