Retirement Extension for Dummies ver 2015

Thanks Tod.

I was suspect when there was no official form number.  Also the official forms are usually in both Thai and English, this form is English only.  But then there are exceptions such as the Thai income form. 

[Starman]

Nothing to be suspect about.

Spread your wings a little and look. Expatblog,khaosodenglish, numerous expat Facebook groups, Thaivisa. This form is real.

So according to you the form should be added to the packet even though KCI does not know about or require it?  Amazing. 

I'll remain suspect until it's officially required at KCI.  And if and when that happens a new thread will probably be required as the KCI provided instructions should also change.

Question:

Suppose I have a one year extension based on marriage, and I leave the country for 4 months or so.  During this time the extension has expired.  What is the best way to do things when coming back, get a new non-o and start over, or would I just get a visa on arrival for 30 days and apply for the extension again before the 30 days are up? 

[CO-CO]

Non O

[DeputyDavid]

Thank you sir.

Anyone in the Buriram area headed to KCI soon?  I just got word from a reliable source that the Thai forms (e.g., stay permit, penalty, and income) have been updated.   If someone is going there can get a set of the forms, scan and post here that would be a big help to us. 

Otherwise, if you can just get a set to me and I will get them posted. 

Thanks,

[Starman]

If KCI requires it then it will be included in their packet of required forms, which is what I hope someone can pick up from KCI and get posted on this link. 

My source was based on a visit to KCI where he used the forms I provided in post #1 but then had to replace several with new forms, he did not mention having to do your controversial form.

[Starman]

It is not my form. If you read the article then you will see that it is "being distributed" around the country.

What harm could there possibly be in asking? Especially as it said it will be used for 90 day reports too.

Buriram Expats "expats helping expats". I like to do my bit.

You posted a copy of the form and have tried to get it pushed onto KCI requirements, which in my mind makes it your form as you are the only one pushing it at KCI. 

What harm, if people keep asking about it KCI could then add it which is just more stuff we have to do.  I for one would be content not to have another form. 

[Starman]

That is funny.

I am not pushing it anywhere. How can I possibly tell KCI what to do? Read the article and digest the information. Like I said before, not pushing it anywhere, the form is out there.

It is not up to KCI whether they use it or not. Read the article.

No harm in asking "if" it is going to be used.

I have seen reports of 2 guys being asked to fill out this form when doing 90 day reporting. One got away with filling out some of the info. The other had problems. Both were told that the form will be used nationwide.

As of Wednesday KCI did not have them.

As Tod said it is creating s bit of a stir.

The question of whether KCI requires the form was answered here: 

Here is a new form for your list, Urleft.

Is this being used by KCI? 

No

Why do you continue to bring it to try to bring it to the attention of KCI?  It looks to me like you are advocating the form.  So in your honor I am going from now on refer to it as Starman's Form. 


As of today, Starman's form was not required as part of the packet according to my source.  I would recommend just providing what KCI officically requires and not call attention to Starman's Form. 


However, if Starman's form is required at KCI at a later day it will be added to the required documentation, and Starman will be recognized for his efforts in getting his form added to KCI requirements. 

[Starman]

PMSL.

To try to get back to finding ground truth. 

If someone is at KCI please obtain a spare copy of KCI's Retirement Extension Requirements and post here so we can use the most current forms.  Or please get me the copy and I will post.
