@KhunBENQ posted above a link to Google maps. Copy the that and paste into google https://goo.gl/maps/uwYGgrBfTQVM8TFW7 It even provides street view. Ta BEN.

Read this several times and still don't follow. Let's be clear. A tourist visa is not a Non O visa. Two different categories. The new kid on the block is DTV. In their wisdom this has been dubbed a "special Tourist Visa" It is not a Non O

You posted..... "This year (last month) I got my bank letter and passbook update the day before applying and CM on the day of applying still required another update to the fixed account passbook!" So you did have to update your bank book on day of application. Also you now mention extension is based on marriage and not retirement. The best way to show update for savings a/c is to make small deposit. Last year I had to transfer stamps to new pp. The io made me go down to bank and make a deposit (FD a/c at CW) Also copies of bankbook pages back to previous extension.

Thanks for that. Later can you post details of meet and greet at airport. Enjoy your stay

First lose the capitals. On the TDAC put your passport country for country of residence.

Again ...good for you. Then don't do the TDAC. Explain your position to airline at departure and immigration on arrival. It's clear that you have no intention of doing the TDAC so no need for questions.

Great. Good for you. BTW did you previously fill in the TM6 card when entering Thailand.

From numerous releases re DTAC the typical statement is same as this cut/paste from a legal company. "Starting 1 May 2025, all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before arrival." Seems simple to me. Are you a Thai national? Answer No. Fill in the form.

Don't see the fuss. The 5th field in TDAC is "nationality, Citizenship" The field "country of residence" will be what's in citizenship. For me both fields will be Australia despite the fact have not lived there 10yr+ Folks with permanent resident status are in same boat.

Thinking this would be your best option. The 500k requirement is not written clearly. Does not definitely state if seasoning is involved. Just have the 500k in bank account prior to application and be able to provide bank statement.

Does your embassy provide income letter? If not you need to use funds in bank method. Regardless of method the bank account needs to be in your name only.

Can the passport be mailed to office? Many UK folk needing passport renewal live upcountry.

With a visa or reentry permit an onward flight is not required. Good idea to have the page with the reentry permit ready to show airline and also immigration when arrive Thailand

March 2nd. The seasoning is 2 months PRIOR to application date. Not 2 months prior to expiry of current permission of stay.

Fair enough however acknowledgement of this and that who really cares. Sign them and obtain extension or don't.
