Thinking perhaps referring to app generated bank statement being a No and wanting a bank issued statement with the bank stamp + signature. Re Upnotover post needing flight into Thailand, I agree that most likely be required. As you typed...that's not an issue for you.

OP, assume you have started the application via https://www.thaievisa.go.th/

This attached site is not official immigration site however has clear general guidelines regarding docs etc. For example you mention bank statements. In the attached article it suggests 2 months. https://www.siam-legal.com/thailand-visa/Thailand-Marriage-Visa.php

Even if located in Bangkok some folk may opt to use agent. Never ceases to amaze how some posters wish to impose their own choice on others.

Seems the OP is located in Udon Thani. Perhaps you are located Bangkok. Here is thread outlining the process to renew UK pp. Indicates online not possible.

You obtained your current extension using income method. To change to money in bank method thinking immigration will want to you to show compliance with income method up till date of next extension+ 800k in bank for 2 months prior to application. Note: the immigration office will determine what they require. Since you are attending immigration for stamp transfer it's a good chance to check with them what they want for the change. The stamp transfers are done at the extension desks L32-34 area. The lady you would ideally chat with is head and sits to rear desk in that area. I'm currently doing the opposite to you. Charging from money in bank to monthly transfers. To be 100% covered I elected to run both methods in tandom from date of previous extension.

I notice @Lite Beer also was satisfied. Plenty of good agents for this service. Don't wish to rub it in to UK, USA and Canadian citizens with the need to send old pp with application. Don't understand why AU application can be done online + post forms to Oz embassy and old pp retained.

Here is form to transfer stamps and visa information. https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=995063&key=4ad28e64c063398b61d0a726240743c6 The required docs are listed below form. Don't be concerned if you do not have embassy letter. Regarding TM47...best to transfer stamps first then go to 90 report desks for Report. (in that order) NOTE: CW are now requesting bankbook photocopies back to date of current extension and bankbook updated. This is not listed as required on the form so be prepared. EDIT: Sorry just reread your OP. Seems you are using income method for extensions retirement. Suggest obtain bank statement from date of last extension up to few days prior to attending immigration.

The OP specifically asked for suggestion/recommendations for agent for UK pp renewal. The agent will advise of required docs and cost. Simple.

Here is link to agent I suggested. https://thaivisa-express.com/ Works fine. Many agents offer this service. Rather that state.....""I have an agent just round the corner..,." Just post a link or agent name for folk to Google.

No real update however this article covers the planned introduction. Nothing currently set/announced. Pretty much summed up in last sentence of the article..... "However, with just weeks to go, the uncertainty around its implementation underscores the oft-cited adage—"the devil is in the details"—as stakeholders await further clarifications."

Off topic post removed.

Troll posts removed. Continue and result in warning.

Why do these threads continue to be started. Just wait for any update. Would not be an issue for travel plans.

IMO the guys chat with OP was down to "lost in translation" They did not have a Tourist Visa. The airline would not have asked them for onward flight if they had a visa. As I mentioned re link above. Just a blog from a traveller, however thinking he did good clear job of outlining topic of entering visa exempt etc via air..

Moved to this forum

Thread closed at OP request.

OP, you have couple of good answers above. Given that your plans in the future are still being decided on, suggest the idea of sticking with extensions from a Non O based on marriage. Low financial requirements and funds can be used to live off once extension approved. With the type of online work you are currently doing you would not have an issue.

They were not refused by immigration. Would have been by airline at departure.. No onward flight. For others: Anyone wanting to understand "onward flight" more may find this useful read: https://backpackbob.com/thailand-return-ticket/

Various off topic and baiting posts removed.

OP....look at this. Hit this link https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ Then look at first pic. Then next the other

Assume they are not from country that provides income letter. Bit off your question however I'm guessing that they will transfer monthly amount to live off. The wife could eventually be on retirement extensions using income method. That's 65k per month of transfers. Of course she is 50+ Slightly similar situation in this thread where wife entered with Non O (retirement) https://aseannow.com/topic/1245491-dependant-spouse-with-extension-to-stay-based-on-retirement/

I was about to type....that the friend could ask immigration if it's possible to do first extension based on retirement and change to dependant in second year.

Yes
