Yes if using income method immigration wants to see monthly transfers of min 65k every month. UK,USA and AU folk not able to provide embassy "income letter" Folk need to check transfer codes as "credit advice" from bank may be required. Few threads in banking/finance forum about this. Often discussing WISE

If you obtain a que ticket you will be seen on that day.. Obtaining one just prior to lunch break will ensure that. The OP has family in tow and there is food court level 1. Same level as banks, photocopy shops.

If you have a valid TDL then obtaining a DVT would not invalidate that or somehow change it to 2 yr licience. However when you go to renew your license then it will be 2 yr

Initial TDL is 2 years and DTV is tourist status and 2 yr TDL can be obtained. Immigration in Bangkok no longer require a TM47 to obtain a certificate of residence (recent change).

Semantics. If something is hit and miss as almost daily reports expressing rejection with the online option then it's faulty. In addition there is never a credible explanation of why the report was rejected.

Just now back from chit chat at bar young UK guy. He obtained a DTV in UK with very little effot. Mind you he works online and has UK employer so perhaps easy for him. I'm an old guy and was joking that so jealous of how easy was his DVT. Just this week I renewed my annual extension (retirement) If you can obtain DTV or LTV go for it The only downside alludes to your reference to things such as TDL. The DTV is classified as "tourist" He was asking about opening bank account and ended up though while CW may issue him a certificate of residence bank still may have issue. Suggested an agent may be able to assist

Not a matter of liking it. I have had 3 online reports rejected (CW) When try to discuss with immigration officer may as well chat to a lamp post. Yes it can be done via mail. Never had a mail report rejected. Doing in person report is very difficult for many depending on distance from immigration office and things such as mobility. The online is a broken system. Sanctimonious posts from folk re "never had an issue" is not helpful to those that have online rejections regardless of what they do even after in person report.

This thread has some advice https://aseannow.com/topic/1327376-best-border-hop-border-crossing-with-non-o-multiple-from-bangkok/

There in is added issue. Approx 10 years ago I was obtaining triple entry tourist visa to Thailand in Saigon that consulate (that was prior to introduction of METV) The io said..."you over 50. Live Thailand. Get non O" You have alternatives. Agree with post from @Caldera Where are you located. Avoid Poi Pet at all costs. In fact think border bounce agents don't even do that run Here is report bounce from Pattaya. Similar threads from Bangkok. https://aseannow.com/topic/1312731-border-run-pattaya-to-cambodia/

Again your point? There are daily reports of rejection of online reporting. Possibly the most common thread every week along with TM30. Either something works for everyone or it's faulty. My guess is that you don't deal with CW. Some reports of almost instant approval. Again my guess that this is automated approval.

New pp resets nothing. Should be however your history in Thailand is not clear. You mention METV and exemptions over 2 years. Vague. That is safe option. Where are you located.

Very clear report from @Pattaya57 In this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1330770-diy-retiement-extension-jomtien/

Yes. The current permission of stay stamp will NOT be changed regardless of new pp.

1. You can apply for extension up to date of expiry of current permission of stay. 2. Annual extension is straight forward. Seems like your first extension from non O. 3. No

Your point? Does not work for MANY. And yes data entered correctly magnifying glass and data checked. System is useless

Which passport was used to enter Thailand

Bank statements can be required at any immigration office especially if there are consolidated transactions or any months with zero activity. This thread OP (while not first hand) bank statement required Jomitien. Guessing due to some months with no activity. This can catch out those (me) that use a dedicated bank account for immigration purposes. Some months no transactions. https://aseannow.com/topic/1335656-12-month-bank-statement/

I've read reports of airlines accepting return flight outside the 30 (currently 60 days) however this has always been the case. Especially if return ticket is with same airline. Of course there has also been reports of person signing a waiver. If anyone is even in a spot the fall back position is to step away from check in counter and either use rent a ticket eg "onwardticket.com" or cheapest throw away flight.

Your office only requires passport. Some offices require more documents. Certainly should require TM47 form and some offices would want your most recent report receipt.

First up don't understand your confusion. Some immigration offices require bank statements some accept photocopies of bank book pages. Your recent experience was for first 12 month extension so immigration only interested in two months using money in bank method. As for statements from downloaded bank app. There are two reports in this thread. One then clarified that io only wanted month statement when there was no activity. Jomitien is one office. I suggest folk be aware of what their local office requires. If indeed it's bank statement then obtain that from your bank rather than downloads

Not only consolidated transactions along with any month with no activity. Don't understand requirement for original bank book. Just immigration game.

Possibly since myself and MANY others using FD account at CW and other immigration offices have never been asked for bank statements for FD account. In my own situation ..I use two accounts. FD 400k and savings 400k+ Even when immigration (CW) started to require bank statement for savings account they did not require same for the FD account. Bank book photocopies were sufficient.

There is stated list of required docs. Some even mention TM30. In reality most immigration offices just require pp. I did one this week at CW. I handed her a TM30 and she used that for address clarity and handed it back. 2 minutes Discussed here https://aseannow.com/topic/1321266-what-paperwork-is-needed-to-do-a-90-day-report-in-person/

Sorta agree. Please explain this. Many annual extensions at CW based on retirement. TM47 was never previously required. Then last 2 years doc check chicks wanted/insisted on that doc. This week did my annual extension and TM47 not required. Few months back I did stamp transfer to new pp. Have done that twice previously. This most recent one CW insisted that I supply bankbook photocopies back to start of current extension. Along with update of bankbook and activity. For 10 years extensions my bank book was sufficient even though I had few months no activity. Immigration insisted on 12 month bank statement. I can go on .... immigration throughout Thailand at various offices is a crap shoot.
