I made one quick post in reply to a chap who mentioned that lack of passport could be an issue with lost ATM card. 

 

Perhaps he doesn't know about Cardless Cash yet, or like me totally ignored it until I found out how awesome it is. 

 

I'm providing him and other readers with useful, practical information that wasn't too wordy and certainly hasn't derailed the thread like you're suggesting. If my post is so objectionable then report it to the mods ????

So full of it .

Do you recommend the OP take a one month road trip to an island with OR without his passport.

That's a yes or no.

I was told two weeks, I then  told them I needed it that day, I mentioned payment, and he informed me of the price to get that done.

 

And this was at Nonthaburi? 

3 pages of rubbish.

For the trip the OP outlines he should 100% take his passport. 

Suggestions otherwise are ridiculous.

Re-entry permit.

He had his wife with him (house owner) but did not have blue book.

So will try online " TM30 update"

The immigration officer was wrong. 

Doesn't help the guy much however a TM30 was not required.

Strange he didn't do the TM47 online.

A friend returned from UK in January returned to samme address.

He recently Went to CW for 90 day report must "update TM30" cannot accept TM47 without update TM30

Did he enter with visa exempt/new visa OR return with reentry permit. 

If the later a TM30 should not have been required at CW.

Non O Retirement is marked 'Under Consideration' and address used for the application was my Thai friends home.

Do nothing. 

Do you plan to obtain an extension to your visa exempt entry?

can't you just add pages to your passport? I'm US and had the consulate drop 20 extra pages on my last passport as it was full.

When was that.

Think that is no longer an option.

Also the OP is UK

Apologies just found it on the back page ( new passport ????) sorry again and thanks for those who responded ????

No worries 

You must have received a stamp.

Visa exempt currently would give you a stamp with 45 day permission of stay.

DrJack. Will be opening a bank account on 2nd of arrival.

Opening a bank account is not as simple one would think.

Especially in Bangkok. 

Give the wife 10-20k to go to immigration for your next extension based on marriage. 

Problem solved.

Thank you for your help ????

BTW: If you decide to use the appointment link (ripper option) 

Make sure you bring a hard copy printout of appointment confirmation email.

A screenshot does not cut it.

Ingrown toenail? 

And the hospital only required TDL.

Magic.

In 2022 CW asked for TM30 when renewing ret. ext.

In 2023 CW didn't want TM30.

Same officer dealt with paperwork.

You were unlucky 2022. 

Assuming you had not changed address. 

TM30 is not required at CW for extensions based on retirement. 

Provided you have a Thai bank account in your name most likely best to return visa exempt and apply for non O retirement asap after arrival.

Requires 800k in Thai bank on day of application. Would need to demonstrate funds came from abroad. 

That gives you 90 day stamp. 

In last 30 days of that permit obtain a 12 month extension

Requires 800k in Thai bank for 2 months.

One page should fit the entry/exit stamps for such a trip.

Indeed.

I recently did trip to Vietnam with eVisa.

This pic shows the Red exit/reentry stamps from Thai imm and the other for Vietnam.

If I convert to an O visa what must I do after the first 90 days if approved. 

In the last 30days of the 90 day permission of stay you apply for 12 month extension.

The 800k would need to have been in the bank for 2 months. 

From random Google search for being admitted to Thai hospital 

"What to Bring

Passport with immigration stamp (Arrival stamp by Thai Immigration Bureau)" 

OP, leave your pp at home. Just don't break your leg.
