You should use one of 3 banks imo as they allow transfers of over 50k per day using WISE I would choose Kasikorn as they can provide 12 month bank statement on the spot. Bangkok bank cannot. No offense but you seem to know very little about Thailand. Opening a bank account is a process in itself. Some banks will require a "certificate of residence" Much more difficult than years gone by. What is your current location?

Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? That will be first hurdle.

In no particular order. You cannot obtain a non O based on marriage if just engaged. Until you are married you could go the non O based on retirement. You could wait till you are married and use some gap stop method in meantime such as visa exempt entry (might be 60 days soon) + 30 day extension.. You only have 2 weeks remaining on your stamp. How did you enter Thailand. Visa exempt 30 day stamp? If so you could obtain a 30 day extension. Forget ED visa etc. You do not have to adopt and of her children. You state....."Youngest kid becomes your responsibility too when married, don't have to take any action" Perhaps poor expression. Her children and your wife (future) is your responsibility. Here is a thread outlining how to enter Thailand visa exempt and process to non O marriage and subsequent 12 month extension In my post I have links to other threads. Read them all.

You are only allowed 2 visa exempt entries via land per calendar year. Don't imagine that will change. Current popular thread running on this. Ask questions there. https://aseannow.com/topic/1328402-big-thailand-visa-changes-from-june-1/

Think we all guessed this was inevitable.

It would remain at 30 day extension as per when previously visa exempt raised to 45 days extensions remained at 30 days

If you use an agent then most likely they will not deal with Nonthaburi immigration office. The extension to be based on retirement?

Are you reading replies? I posted this earlier..,.. "Easiest way is to obtain a 30 day extension to your visa exempt entry Use a TM7 form. 1900bht You can apply with week or two remaining on your entry stamp. The 30 days will be added to expiry date of entry stamp" You don't require a Thai wife or child. Your stay is 6 weeks. 30 day entry stamp+ 30 day extension= 60 days. I also posted comprehensive thread that covers how to obtain a 30 day extension!

If you are aware of your own office rules, then in most cases the TM30 not required after inter province travel and travel overseas. CW one example.

Think they meant 60 day extension. The 60 day extension to visit wife can be used once.

Easiest way is to obtain a 30 day extension to your visa exempt entry Use a TM7 form. 1900bht You can apply with week or two remaining on your entry stamp. The 30 days will be added to expiry date of entry stamp. This attached thread explains the application https://aseannow.com/topic/1324628-30-day-extension-to-visa-exempt-entry❓/ Did you consider eVisa (tourist visa) obtained in UK. Provides 60 days

Here is a thread re USA pp. Has useful links and reports https://aseannow.com/topic/1316179-american-passport-renewal-process/ Note: After you have your new pp..... when you attend immigration to transfer stamps if on extensions retirement using funds in the bank method some immigration offices (eg CW) want your bank book and copies of all pages back to date of current extension. Off topic but putting it out there. This is new requirement

Are you asking about online 90 day reports. Your thread title heading is misleading. Edit: changed thread title

You can post in forum "immigration and visas to other countries" which is more appropriate forum. You may not receive a reply. I recently used MAIL option to renew my Oz pp. Very simple. Turn around 20 days. You mail to AU embassy Bangkok seamless and mailed back to you.

Thinking your plan will work fine

I renewed my pp recently. From previous experience (10 year back) I had my photos taken locally. They were rejected at AU embassy. This time I took trouble to drive to professional studio. I had guidelines of AU requirements. They took quite some time processing and adjusting. 200b. Seemed ridiculously cheap.

Others don't seem to have similar problems . You can use an agent if it's too difficult. https://aseannow.com/topic/1316179-american-passport-renewal-process/ For Passport photos you need to get from expert photo shops.

Thread going nowhere. Thread closed

Out of interest what method financially do you use for annual extensions
