I did the border run two months ago... I had recently obtained the "yellow book" and "pink ID card"....I thought this established my residence... not so..... when I went to immigration a couple days ago to obtain the 30 day extension... I was told that I had needed to do the TM30 upon my return... 800 Baht fine... plus the 1900 Baht for the extension... at least I did get my extension ..

I went to Kalasin Immigration for an extension of stay due to retirement. I got there at the opening time of 08:30 and was first in line and out the door at 09:30. I am a Canadian so use a letter from my embassy as proof of income. I showed that my Passport with a copy of each used page, my yellow book and pink ID card and a copy of each. The officer then asked for a copy of my wife's ID card and Bluebook and I had them with me so showed them. I had the TM8 form filled out and a picture. And the reentry form for one entry and picture. That was it, previous years they had me sign a couple of other forms, but not this year. ฿1,900 for the extension and ฿1,000 for the single reentry. They also updated my 90 day reporting. A very simple process. my praise to the Kalasin Immigration department.

Dear all,

1) Would anyone who have a pink ID card can reply if both your thai name and English name can be shown together in the PINK ID card.

2) Anyone who can successful add both English and Thai names in the bank book?

3) Is there anyone who can successfully sold his/her condo? If yes, you receive money by cheque which wrote in your English name or Thai name. As a heard a case that the one who sold her condo, then buyer issued cheque in her Thai name same as title deed shown. However, she was unable to bank-in/credit this cheque as her bank account only shows English name.

Thank you.

Hi.. Can you attend school or job training with the pink card? What about starting a small business or open a shop like mobile phone repair? TIA

Can I use the Thai immigration line with my Thai wife? I’m on an O-A visa.

Hi folks, I have got my yellow book and pink ID card a while ago. So if I renew my foreign passport in the future, is there anything I need to do? Such as updating anything in Amphur district office? TIA!

Three related questions: [1] Is it still necessary to do a TM30 on returning home to Phuket? [2] If I use my pink ID card to check into a hotel, does my stay there get transmitted to immigration? [3] Assuming TM30 is required, is it still possible to do it online? If yes, is it an app or a website? The old login doesn't work.

Many thanks in advance.

Can anyone please tell me what documents do I need to show in order to obtain a Yellow Book and Pink ID card. Thanks in advance.
