  1. Just confirming the password change outline in the thread. I just tried to get into report online and yes directs you to change password. Was very simple and the email with "change password" Link was sent instantly. I then did a trial run to see if the magnifying🔎 glass worked to autofil. It does.
  2. Immigration request for same day bank docs is ridiculous. Nonetheless guess they make the rules. Perhaps a 12 Statment obtained few days prior to application and in addition a statement for one month obtained on day of application might be an option.
  3. Where is location
  4. Surely Sarcasm. Would give you only headache and pain. Aside: for anyone on marriage extensions wishing to change banks do that prior to seasoning window for extension. If already in that window (two months prior to application) then just accept the BBL four month freeze and after consideration period and stamp in pp open account with another bank.
  5. Bumping your thread as no response. I cannot advise specifically on CM. For travel and temporary stays inside Thailand a TM30 and/or TM28 should not be required when returning to your usual place of residence (home) in CM. Having stated that CM immigration has their M.O and in particular seem fussy about TM30. Doesn't help but by way of example I deal with CW and only ever do a TM30 prior to doing my annual extensions. I travel a lot inside and outside of Thailand and never do a TM30. Hopefully someone dealing with CM will post first hand report
  6. Question covered. Thread closed
  7. That's correct. Thailand immigration does not have 6 month validity rule. The issue is some airlines are not aware of this as many countries have that rule. Hence can be an issue for boarding pass at check in. Best advice is to renew pp when less than a year validity remains especially for xpats living in Thailand on annual extensions
  8. After trip abroad report in person (includes agent) or via Mai and not online
  9. Yes it's two months prior to application for extension. The bank will provide a 12 month bank statement no problem. Note BBL requires few days to process that. 3-5 days is usual. The other thing you need from the bank is Bank Letter. This is when BBL will ask you to sign some nonsense form and may freeze the funds for 4 months. (yes ridiculous) Suggest you accept this nonsense since you are with BBL and change banks for subsequent extensions. Edit: overlooked that this is your first extension. A 3 month bank statement will be fine and BBL can provide that on the spot. Attached is pic of Bank Letter (Kasikorn)
  10. I would and have many times. Also what's the big deal interest in how far prior to due date can you post it. Do it 15 days prior to due date. CW in particular known to not even process it till after due date.
  11. I have read reports of BBL customers obtaining a 6month statement for first 6 months of extension then another 6 month statement on the spot day of application. Personally I would obtain the 12 month statement days prior to application and also a short statement on day of application. That goodness I don't use that Bank or immigration office.
  12. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://immigration.go.th/en%3Fpage_id%3D1666&ved=2ahUKEwiDlqbP3I-SAxUvlFYBHT6NJRcQFnoECFgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0IcmU9zH1otzyO8nyBoXjg Guidelines for 90 day reporting
  13. No his issue is that while banks can provide 12 month bank statement on the spot BBL cannot. Normal that not a problem as statements letter etc should be accepted up to 7 days to application. Korat want the statement on day of application. Just another crackpot immigration office. Problem if you use BBL. Regards when to apply for extension. Never leave it till last day. Your 12 months is added to expiry not started from date of application. Up to 30 days early at most offices
  14. You should post 14-15 days prior to due date. Not more not less.
  15. It's fine. Also needed in order for company to see details of entries including any denied entries. Here, is thread with popular company. ThaiVisaCentre also have this service https://aseannow.com/topic/1364034-has-anyone-used-friendly-thai-visa%E2%80%99s-airport-safe-entry-service-only-real-experiences-plz/
  16. One more time: It won't be rejected. I have NEVER read or heard of a rejection by head office. I can imagine perhaps a request for something to be added, however have never even heard of that.
  17. Not really interested. The gold standard that some/most airlines use is onward flight. There are several threads on this specific question on AseanNow.
  18. It won't be rejected. Go to immigration on Monday after wife checks (phone) that the eagle has landed.
  19. That would be almost unheard of. You local immigration office carefully check over the application. If they accept it and in turn goes to regional head office it will be approved. Chill
  20. Using a bus/train ticket would be very problematic. The standard airlines (mostly) apply is onward Flight.
  21. Yes,... Just for others the hand written line by the io basically states next extry have a Visa
  22. No. A hard copy print out is required. Certainly at CW
  23. Given this more detailed info a Non O marriage + annual extensions is best fit + multi reentry permit. Come and go as often as you wish and only tie up the funds for few months.
  24. She can go to immigration for stamp if you want.
