THAIPHUKET Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Deposit delayed but on the account at the time of Visa renewal date? Like in Europe a penalty fee on late taxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrJack54 Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 Your obtaining an extension. The money needs to be in bank account 2 months prior to your application for extension. Can't see why they would be flexible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIPHUKET Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) HOW should the request for extension look like? Addressed to whom? In case of denial, what then? Homeless? This scenario is too important not to be played through, at least for those who have bee here since long.

Popular Post ubonjoe Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 You can apply for the extension of stay up to the day it expires. How long after that date will you have the 800k baht in the bank for 2 months? Most offices would let you overstay for a few days and do the extension after paying the 500 baht per day overstay fine. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeless? This scenario is too important not to be played through, at least for those who have bee here since long. Perhaps state the dates that 1. You have 800k in Thai bank in your name 2. The date of expiry of current permission of stay. It's on the stamp in your passport. If that's few days (as ubonjoe points out above), then you might be OK. Don't understand your comments "how should the request for extension look like?" etc Have you applied for extensions before. You apply for 12 month extension on day you attend immigration to do so together with all the paperwork. One doc is bank letter and bankbook. So even if you attend on last day of your current permission of stay, how long would money be in bank? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIPHUKET Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) To clarify:. Visa Renewal date Jan 6. That implies 800.000 must be on account Nov 6. What you are saying that the "new" overstay starts Nov.6. If 800.000 is credited on December 6 the penalty is 30x500b. Only payable Jan 6, assuming that is the date of the actual extension Do I get it right?

No, if your renewal date is 6 Jan then there is no "overstay" until 7 Jan. But, on your dates, you will be 1 month short of having the Bht seasoned on your renewal date and, IMO, in trouble. Leaving it until it's seasoned I'm not sure they'd be lenient and you wouldn't want to come to the attention of immigration in that month. Given the current situation, personally I'd be looking for an agent to deal with things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJack54 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) OP, you are not on overstay until 6/jan. However you have stuffed up with money in bank 2 months prior to 6/jan by a long way. Contact an agent. You already have a non o. All you need agent for is to get around money in bank requirement. Should be about 15-20k. Closer to 15k. Don't take any notice of nonsense peanut gallery telling you illegal. Perfectly OK. Edited October 30, 2020 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it is the OP's best approach, and that using an agent to circumvent the money seasoning is not exactly illegal. However, let's be honest. It is taking advantage of some deliberate loopholes in the rules that senior officials are willing to help you take advantage of (through your agent) based on financial incentives. You have plausible deniability, but the agent is engaging in corrupt practices to get you the extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Tim your articulate! Fact is stamp he gets in pp is legit. The OP had small stuff up. Go and research "money for visa" along with ""au pair given exemption" both in Australia.

THAIPHUKET Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 My Visa is Non-IMM 0. I've heard about this option. An agent in KhonKaen offered such service, would handle 90 reports too. Unappealing. The funds are available but transferable not before Dec 15. I rather pay 500b/d straight to Immigration . Should be doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be doable? No. Not doable. You will not be on overstay (until Jan 7). But you will also not qualify for a new 1 year extension. (In addition, if your balance before the transfer dipped below 400k then you did nto comply with the terms of your prior extension). There is no system of "fines" for delay in having money on deposit. You either have the money for the required period of time or you do not. if you do not, you do not meet the requirements for an extension of stay. If you fail to extend then you are on overstay as of Jan 7 and the fine for that (which may be what you are thinking of) is 500 baht a day. You can not, however, pay that fine and then do an extension. You are no longer eligible for an extension after the deadline of the 6th has come and gone, there is nothing to extend as you no longer have a valid permission to stay. Your only recourse at that point is to leave Thailand altogether and come back in on a new visa, which will not be possible under current COVID restrictions. (And if your overstay is long enough you will be blacklisted from re-entry for a period of time). Ti remain in Thailand legally there are only 2 options: somehow get the money onto the bank within the next few days, or use an agent to bypass the money requirement. There is no third way. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
