OP dont forget to make him aware to fill in the TDAC up to 3 days prior to his return to Thailand https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home

Good idea. Just be aware that Bali immigration can be very fussy with condition of pp. Just check for tiny rip or minor stain.. The 17 yr old going to Bali over Vietnam... To each their own. No appointments for tomorrow just checked.

This link is not CW however applies. https://uttaradit.immigration.go.th/en/notification-of-staying-in-the-kingdom-for-more-than-90-days/ Yes can be done by representative. TM47 + pp however may want couple of photocopies (most likely not) Yes up to 7 days late. Reentry permit TM8 plus copy of pp pages (may be asked for) 1000b single reentry. 3800 multiple. Can be obtained at airport. Good choice as has option of 200 b service fee to do all including picture. Obtrained day of departure. At CW you need to go to different desk for reentry permit (messy) Note: L1 has photocopy print shops. You can tell them what you are doing and they will take your pp and give you necessary docs. Note also that to obtain queue ticket you need to show filled in application form. You still might be able to make appointment. Often has slots.

Tod States has to be done in person and that's fair enough. I have read more than couple of reports (not ancient) of guys doing report via mail after trip abroad and it being successful. Personally think the "in person" is just a "short hand" In summary I believe that the mail report will be approved however the next one after that may not be successful if done online..

Some genius decided to try and sync TM30 with online reporting. As a result immigration were/are requesting TM47 after trip abroad to be done in person.

You said that you deposit which effectively updates your bankbook day prior. At Jomtien that is accepted if applying for extension morning of next day. That is particular to that office All outlined here: https://pcec.club/CHECKLISTS-Extensions-of-Stay Stated here: "Note: Do an ATM transaction and update passbook on the day of application)" (Emphasis not mine) Fact is CW (the OP) is dealing with require update on the day of application.

Slightly off topic...but.. Read in various threads some "slowness" with WISE transfers. Mainly banking finance forum. Just now I transferred $90aud (1.9mil baht) from Oz bank to my Kasikorn a/c. Time taken : "instant"

The guy you quoted was referring to earlier chit chat about where are the passports made in response to someone asking. Anyway they are made (printed) in USA

The point is the OP is CW specific. There are more than 75 immigration offices. How things work at Jomtien or back of Bourke office is bit irrelevant. I wouldn't call CW annal. Nothing wrong with the procedures there. In fact IMO they are an office that doesn't make up their own rule book. Jomtien does. CW actually has an appointment system that works. The issue is that office deals with a zillion applications for various reasons.

Which immigration office. I have used 2 accounts in the past. Many do. For some it's an FD account + savings account. BTW: If accounts with same bank the bank letter will list both accounts. 100b

Yes you are correct. I mixed in a post from Foresttrump. The OP is after a Non O

A visa exempt entry is tourist status.. A SETV is a visa. However still tourist status.. You clearly not reading the advice The TM87 is for application for Non O at local immigration office. Zero to do with TDAC. Where to start... Bankbook for what? To apply for Non O then yes of course. Letter from gf. No you need a TM30. "Less than 180 days" ., Sounds like some nonsense regarding tax . Please post coherent questions for advice.

Application for what. Non O-A or Non O retirement? Hope the latter.

What new rules.

No worries. Yes he didn't mention WISE but those using it are aware of those limits outlined.

The OP post was information regarding WISE transfers. As posted above. I just now did a transfer of ~1.9mil baht. If I try 2mil + they post "cannot exceed 2 mil. As a result need two transfers. Most likely can do second one now however not urgent tomorrow is fine.

I have posted many times...imo Kasikorn is the bank if you use WISE. BBL also ok but for immigration 12 month bank statement is a pain.. Just this minute I transferred $90k aud to my Kasikorn (1.9mil baht) Wise tell me arrive tomorrow by 11am. Smaller amounts instant. Tomorrow I will do same transfer again. Condo settlement Fri 13. USA have their own rules for transfers.

You can keep funds in an FD or Savings account.

You didn't need Vietnam flight for TDAC. So you don't actually have a ticket to Vietnam? The TM87 is a form to obtain a Non O from visa, exempt entry. The TM86 form is used if you entered via Tourist visa. Please don't tell me you entered with a tourist visa. Are you reading any of the advice posted in the thread?

No guess. Made in the US of A

That is only for application for the Non O retirement in Thailand. Annual 12 month extensions do not have that requirement nor does a Non O retirement obtained outside of Thailand

No

Agree with previous posts that obtaining the Non O e-Visa in UK is best option. Note also for others .. If obtaining the Non O in Thailand you need show funds transfered from abroad. This is not required if obtaining the Non O outside of Thailand. Doesn't apply to OP as he has had money in Thai bank for 2 years (strange)

You can obtain a Non O at your local immigration office from a tourist visa entry or visa exempt entry. My guess is that you entered visa exempt. The Non O requires 800k in Thai bank on day of application. Needs to be shown coming from abroad. That application also requires a TM87. You then apply for 12 month extension with up to 30 days remaining on the 90 day stamp the Non O provides. As mentioned you cannot use income method for first extension. The money in bank method has financial requirements. Edit: just noticed your funds in bank since 2023?? Immigration should not require proof funds from abroad
