Pink Id card for foreigners
Maestro replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Is your Thai partner your lawful wedded wife or a partner of some other kind? In some district offices, this apparently makes a difference when applying for the yellow house registration book and the pink ID Card. -
Pink Id card for foreigners
Maestro replied to Enquiry123's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Since different district offices are known to have different requirements, all reports of personal experience are of little or no use to the OP, who failed to indicate on in what district in what province he lives. @Enquiry123 Would you like to add that missing piece of information, in case someone reading it has had experience with the same district office? -

Immigration wants to see only your new passport. -
Thank you for posting this. I remember clearly that this was reported by members in the forum some years ago. Whether or not this internal procedure of an automatic alert on the immigration official's screen is still in place, in continues to be part of the official's duty to consider whether a foreigner with unusually long time spent in Thailand for the purported reason of tourism may in fact be working illegally in the country. It is always good for a frequent and/or long-term tourist to have a credible explanation available on the off-chance that he gets questioned.

Print service DMK Airport
Maestro replied to Vampyteuthis's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It isn't really an electronic visa we are getting. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is using the term e-Visa to mean "Thailand e-Visa application". The visa application is done electronically and the information that my application has been approved is transmitted to me electronically with a PDF document attached to an email from the embassy. That's where the electronic process ends. English-Manual.pdf -

Identification at airport
Maestro replied to LauChan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The machine-readable code is standardised by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Information about the currently standardised biometrics is here. Some countries may be including additional information but make some or all of this inaccessible to third parties. -

1. The information in the two lines of machine-readable code at the bottom of the ID page of your passport. 2. The digital copy of your passport photo on the chip in your passport and the comparison of it with the photo taken at the immigration desk. 3. If the chip in your passport has an image of your fingerprints and if the passport issuer allows access to them by authorised agencies with the apposite equipment, the comparison of them with your fingerprints taken at the immigration desk. -
Thank you for this useful clarification. Now, let's hear from foreigners who have actually used the automatic passport control channel on departure at BKK since the beginning of this month after having stayed in Thailand based on an entry with a visa of any category or based on an extension of stay. Myself, I shan't be able to start testing this until 16 March when, after having entered the country on 21 December with a single-entry non-O visa, I will fly back to Europe. The second part of the test will come when I next fly to Thailand, probably towards the end of this year, and show my passport with the latest Thai stamp being the arrival stamp of 21 DEC 2023 and and no subsequent departure stamp. (I expect encounter no problem)
