Och jag var på immigration, så vad får dig att tro att ambassaden i Oslo vet bättre än immigration?
Att du suttit i din by i Isaan i 20 år betyder inte mycket, eller pratas det mycket om VISA frågor i byn
Note: Not all immigration offices in Thailand will convert a tourist visa. If you have problems you can get the conversion done at the Bangkok office.
If you arrive in Thailand via the visa exempt option that’s available to many Western passport holders, you have the option to convert this to a
Non-Immigrant “O” Visa if you meet the criteria. If you’re over 50 and meet the income requirements, this could be a good option if you want to stay in Thailand long-term. I arrived from Jakarta using the visa exempt option and was given a stamp for a 30-day stay. As I want to stay in Thailand long-term, I needed to convert this to a
Non-Immigrant “O” Visa which allows a 90-day stay, and also extend that permission to stay for a further 12 months. The same process applies if you arrive on a
Tourist Visa. So this is a 2-step process for me. Step 1 – get a
Non-Immigrant Visa; Step 2 – apply for permission to extend my stay in Thailand. This post is about Step 1
Samma kunde jag göra hos immigration fast då baserat på äktenskap.
