Gaybutton Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 The following appears in PATTAYA TODAY: _____ Enormous Shakeup of Visa and Immigration Rules Most farangs -will be affected What began as a restriction on the number of 30 day visas on arrival has turned out to be a major reshuffling of immigration regulations, most of which were framed as far back as 1979. The new rules apply to short term and long term tourists and farang residents and cover yearly extensions of various types, investment visas and even work permits. The fact that it was announced on September 24 that the national immigration bureau chief lieutenant general Suwit Thamrongsrisakul has been transferred to an inactive post is not thought to have any bearing on visa matters. None the less,Pattaya Today stresses that the changes described below were accurate as of September 26, when we went to press, with an anticipated implementation date of October 1. Quote
Guest Boxer Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Best account so far of the new regs. Well done Barrie? Pattaya Today. For Retirement Visa just have to make a note in diary to transfer the money over 3mths before visa date and live for 3 mths making sure it stays over 800000 baht. This should be pasted at top for ages. Quote
