Which immigration office.. Are you currently using money in bank method?

From the OP... "Weight probably less than 700kg. It won't be solely music gear, some useful but inexpensive domestic stuff too".

Would mean reenter Thailand visa exempt and depending on history may be problematic. Current thread running on "safe entry services" at airport. Could be an option. Here is link to current thread with success. Note standard cost would be 4500b https://aseannow.com/topic/1364034-has-anyone-used-friendly-thai-visa’s-airport-safe-entry-service-only-real-experiences-plz/

No. Assume you have no plans to obtain a Non O retirement from this permission of stay

Contact Thai visa centre. Here is link... Thai Visa Centre - Visa Agent https://g.co/kgs/vXXzb5i You can ring them or Line or even Messenger. Or send a PM via @ThaiVisaCentre

You haven't outlined your history of stays in Thailand. Guessing extensive as you could have opted for mini holiday to somewhere like Saigon. Perhaps you are visa exempt for some nearby countries. Must have concerns entering Thailand visa exempt via air

Look extensively into the meaning of the word "Cull"

Back it up. What do you need a TM30 and TM47 for. You are in Thailand on extension ? What's the issue. Clarify. As mentioned above @ThaiVisaCentre could assist.

Just one person's opinion... I can't get my head around your overall plan. You state moving to Hua Hin.. What type of place do you plan to live in. No way I would be happy with you as a neighbor along with the amps etc. From your OP (only a guess) but seems you don't have extensive experience with Thailand. I'm with @richard_smith237 post. Bring as little as possible. Most likely just instruments. Look into excess accompanied flight baggage.

OP, is Laos a possible option? Depending on Location fly to Udon Thani and bounce to NK Be aware that in recent times overnight/even two required for bounce without agent.

OP, just try few agents... Here is a couple.... https://www.1stclassvisaruns.com/ https://friendlythaivisa.com/

No. Your first extension serves as 90 day report start clock.

Yeah that's referring to TM6 (arrival card) Not required. Nor is #2 ... Many embassies do not supply a form anymore. Note: transfer stamps first followed by TM47 (90 report) You can make appointment for 90 report.

He may have entered on a SETV the visa gave him a 60 day permission of stay. During that time seems he applied for Non O retirement. He would have used form TM86. He was given an under consideration period. The 60 day stamp from entry is irrelevant. OP has been given correct advice.

OP, here is copy of requirements at CW. Note no mention of bank book etc Also link for that form https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=939160&key=2e63bc0d8abee18369df31b777516cb4

Just goes to show how things can vary even at same office. I also did my transfer a year ago at CW. No bank statement. Just photocopies of pages and update. No TM30 or TM47.

They will accept photocopies of all bank book pages back till date of current extension. Together with the actual bank book. Good idea to do the transfed when 90 report window is open. Note: do the extension first followed by the report. You can make appointments for both. A TM30 would be handy however not required. Here is appointment link: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/

To transfer stamps and visa info when someone does passport renewal. As discussed in thread.

Used the safe entry service linked in OP first post. Note the very high fee of 8k (each) was due to recent refused entry at BKK along with ED visas in the past (think 2) and visa exempt entries.

Think you will be fine with copy. For my extension retirement CW the io looked at first page of lease photocopy and didn't appear overly interested. Do you have a TM30. That would be handy.

Yes typed with OP. All good. No questions etc at BKK. Straight through (20 min total)

Actually I did two transfers. Yes 1.9mil baht each transfer approx 90k aud each time. The limit per transaction using WISE to Kasikorn is 2mil baht The point of your post?

Any specific area in Bangkok? Do you own a car? Is central location important? What size apartment. Studio or one bedroom. Pool important?
