Nothing new, both already required for my previous extension, October.

Such new requirements were not asked for when I renewed my retirement extension in December last year.

Which I did , ( Bkk Bank ) and was told , " no have to now , will do it if after if problem ".

The problem will start went you need money urgently and the bank say come back in 1 week for the bank to update their records.

For those on yearly extention of stay in Phuket.  New requirement by Phuket Immigration as reported in Phuket News.

You can have as many single re-entry permit as you want, so long your permit to stay is still valid.

Strange, when i use your link, i get a much better price.

 

There are many sellers offering the same products.  Some are trying to pull a fast one if you do not look at more on offer.

If you want to try 'authentic' traditional Phuket cuisine, Pinto at Karon serve many such dishes.  Their 'Moo Hong' braised belly pork melts in your mouth.

Not the other way around.      Maybe the first few weeks here I was overwhelmed, but it wasn't long until I realized I offer way more value than value given to me.

And you are still here in Thailand.  Something positive must have kept you here.

It's called "counting the chicken before they are hatched".

"According to our information, you have opened account with TMB without submitting
the necessary documents to the bank in the account opening process. Our governing
body requires that foreigners who open account with TMB must provide such
documents to TMB Bank. Otherwise, the bank cannot provide customer with online
banking service."

Yes, when opening a new bank account, the bank will want to know whether you are a "resident" with the necessary immigration approval of stay. Similarly with online banking service.

When you have a new passport, it is just a personal data update. If the banks have to check whether foreigners holding bank account still have the "resident" status, might as well ask for an annual submission of Certificate of Residency.

It is the job of the banks, not immigration, to ensure certain services are only offered to customers with the appropriate qualification.

It is a fairly global that entities request notification on change of circumstances and sometimes make random checks, ever heard of life cerificates.

Yes, when you open a new bank account as a foreigner, the bank will want to know whether you are a "resident" in the country with the necessary immigration approval.  Here we are talking about updating a personal data (new passport).  For discussion sake, if the bank found out that you are no longer a "resident" and you cannot have an account.   The bank now say you cannot access your money because your old passport is now void and no more valid.

A lot depends on if you have online banking. The regulations are tighter than with just an account and banks are supposed to monitor your visa status.

Didn't know the banks are doing the job of immigration.

No your extension is only valid until the end of old passport. 

Not completely correct.  If your passport has more than 1 year validity, your extension will be for 12 months.  If your passport validity has less than 1 year, your extension will be until the end of validity date in your passport.

OP, you may want to read this.

Yes, you may find it very convenient.  But I won't trust a company who would post my personal data openly in their website.  Those guesthouse/hotel owners who use this "service" are compromising their guests' personal data.

You don't need to go. Print out the confirmation that your registration is done is enough. Immi happy with that.

You trust them when they show personal details of passport for all to see in their website?
