    This is interesting. Next year my extension is due in February but my passport expires in October. Does this mean I need the new passport before the February extension, or just be sure to apply for a further extension before October, assuming I get the new passport after February.

    either get a new passport before feb, or use old one and get extension to oct only. then with new passport obtain fresh year extension in oct

    It will mean it the same I presume the foreigner will be the one who has to put the 400K in the bank, but I'm still skeptical that this new law will include foreigners.

    at the present time is only male foreigners married to a Thai female, that has to meet financial requirements, so who under the new same sex marriages will need to meet the financial requirements, foreign female married to Thai female, or foreign male married to Thai male

    FOOD FOR THOUGHT

     

    THINK, does your new PP NUMBER match with the information on your extension of stay PERMISSION?  If not in theory you COULD be here illegally.

    I would think since you entered on a ""new"' passport, the old passport is invalid - unless you have dual citizenship AND dual passports. The OLD PP is invalid if the corner is clipped - if so transfer the extension stamps to new PP - usually no cost at immigration to transfer and update PP and extension information.

     

    ADDL EDIT

    Some offices require a NEW TM-30, EVEN if returning to SAME address IF you leave the country.

    what a load of rubbish about being here illegally

    No one has talked about the remittance tax that has put in place this year. If I were to bring in 400K to meet the 1.2 million  or 700K to meet 1.5 million in addition to my living expenses I could possible be hit with a much higher tax rate in Thailand. 

     

    I don't have a lot keeping me in Thailand other than I like it here. If I have to pay a 25% tax on 700K to meet new retirement visa requirements I think I would leave.

     

     

    what new retirement visa regulations, all such talk is just scaremongering

    I installed the panels last week with a company called PONIX, everything seems to work, they said they'd handle the permit with PEA but I haven't heard back, do you know how long does it take? is my electricity export being already accounted for? I already have a digital meter. I know there is a code you can push to read the amount of energy exported, not sure which code that is though, any expert?

    is your invertor showing any feed in. image.png.4201dbb0d248bc23514285cda44c4cf6.png

    link please

     

    op if you can not season the required 400,000thb then you could apply for a  60 day visit Thai wife extension, if you have not already done since your last entry, excluding re-entry permit entry

    sorry should be 800,000thb

    If my marriage extension is valid up until 10 August & my 400K will have been in my a/c for just over 2 months am I able to submit my renewal application on the 09 August and then request a 30 day extension whilst it is being approved ??

    when you apply for renewal on the 9th they will automatically give you a 30 day under consideration stamp, so you would be ok to stay, but when you receive the yearly extension it will start from 11th Aug

    Sounds like you are trying to shift the blame from the Brit attacker to the Thai who was just doing his job? 
     

    Perhaps that is part of the problem with us, we can not admit when we are in the wrong? Which goes back being “entitled” 

     

    The British man, named Matthew, has been living in the village with his Thai wife for several years. He is known among the security guards as a hot-headed person who frequently causes disturbances.

    After being physically assaulted, I’m terrified of this foreigner because I’m old and work alone in the office. If this aggressive resident barges in to yell at me or assault me again, I won’t be able to fight back,” he said.

     

    67 year old smaller Thai man. 

     

     

    how does '' You have much to learn I,m afraid.....without condoning what this idiot did''  read as if the poster is trying to blame the injured party, i think you are anti expat, and defiantly anti aseannow posters, there are plenty of places to get visa info, if that's what you are after

    It won't just kill elite and ltr, but every visa like retirement, marriage, investment visas, permanant residents, education visas, eec special visas, boi visas, who the hell

    would want the hassles of the other visas, when you can get a 5 year visa so easily for cooking, muay thai, nomads

     

    I mean why only hate on Elite, when every long term visa class would be affected

     

    June 1st now, lets see

    I think you are  being a bit premature in praising this new visa, when no-one knows its ins and outs, I doubt it is the savior of the long term stayer
