They are Clerks that have watched the movie "Guardians of the Universe" too many times. They seek relevance. Job satisfaction is not relevant.

And what if he gave the real answer. Going to UT staying Top Mansion and going for some beers in Day/Night bar area for some take home. Surprised she didn't ask for his LINE.

The answer to the questions were already on the TM6 form. Entering visa exempt with extensive history in Thailand using visa exempt entries with extensions all back to back and very short stay out of Thailand then fair enough. The OP has annual extension with reentry permit. The io was blowing hot air. Not uncommon.

I would also. Seems to be an expat living in Thailand given has an annual extension and reentry permit. Her questions were not required. Surprised she didn't ask if could show 20k to support his stay. The io was being a j erk

The OP has a reentry permit and annual extension. The immigration officer was being stupid. Unnecessary questions. Power trip. Nothing more.

They will say she has to be there for application for extension retirement. He can always do a border run and reenter visa exempt. Then either obtain a new non O and subsequent extension based on retirement. Alternatively use an agent for the process However all options require money.

Obviously I referring to his extension validity. Many folk ask about this. In the case of divorce the extension is void. If wife passes away the extension remains valid and his permission of stay remains valid. The OP seems not to be on good enough terms with the wife to have her attend immigration with him for his next extension that he could change to based on retirement. For change based on marriage to based on retirement immigration would want wife present in most immigration offices. On top of that seems he is skint.

Personally I wouldn't change my address. He can do 90 report online. Vaguely recall that there is a requirement to be living together. As others have stated the extension is valid as he still is not divorced however thinking the wife can cause issues if she wants to.

I have not used a pink id card for proof of address when applying for TDL in Bangkok. I used a certificate of residence. Some use "letter" from embassy.

It's useful to others to read trip reports regarding what is required for this and that. You stated pink card was sufficient in Bangkok. Mind you asked 3 times which office and yet no reply. In any event out of this mindless chit chat.

OP not specifically about TDL however some folk may find this site useful. Concerns CM but applies to most provinces. https://motogirlthailand.com/riding-thailand/

Which transport office? Was a simple question. The "norm" is what everyone else needs to supply for DTL renewal

The reason given for suspending it at the airports was to ease process times with io. Not such an issue at border crossings

Which transport office because what you outline is not the norm in Bangkok

My post was not directed at the OP, it was response to another post.

Where. When.

Amazing the clerk accepted that. For the majority that will not cut it Certificate of Residence or embassy letter is the norm

Good advice Just to add ..after a divorce the wife can support by attendance change to extension based on retirement. Seems the OP is not at that point currently.

When

Clearly not and resort to offensive "clown" is poor form.

Yes you did however some posts are pointing out that your friend does not fit any pidgin hole. 1. Does not want to park 800k in Thai bank. 2. Income only 50k per month 3. Agent option suggested. Bottom line .....move on. Just another farang with limited money.

My post was about Thai driving license. TDL Have no idea what your post is about.

His extension is valid until divorce. That means most of your other questions irrelevant. He can nick off and when current permission of stay ends look at options

Ok so Feb/2024. Go for it.. Any letter that you can obtain from school to "permit" your absence from class would be a big bonus.

When does current permission of stay end. Thinking your agent gave good advice.
