Here is a thread and also in that thread I posted link to ubonjoe post. "No age limit" However as posted in this thread a better option is non O retirement with subsequent extension. Does not prevent you from any studies.

Even with embassy "income letter" immigration may/will require you to show few months (2-3) of transfers prior to application.

My understanding is that passports are the property of issuing country. Yes that sounds crazy. You have no right to alter pp in any way. Suggest the OP visit where the new pp was issued.

Do not cut/alter your old passport in anyway.

In many cases has nothing to do with insufficient funds. However if it floats your boat to post boring opinion then by all means continue..

Short thread here with good advice from BritTim. https://aseannow.com/topic/1288406-how-to-change-from-ed-visa-to-marriage-visa/

Of course "Obviously" not Thai. Options available would include age etc .... given your similar thread asking about max age for ED visa that I posted above. Seems that you are asking about a Non ED. Just outline details.. Perhaps you will receive helpful advice. EDIT: just searching now to reply to unrelated thread here is another of your threads. https://aseannow.com/topic/1288406-how-to-change-from-ed-visa-to-marriage-visa/ You started a thread and replied ZERO.

OP, your post is vague at best. What is nationality of the student. What language does the student use. You will not receive advice untill you clarify. Your other related thread

I have no time for mystery novels. Surely if the "friend" has been on annual extensions at Udon Thani he can ask forum directly

Have you stated reason for name change. Ask as he previously obtaining extensions in UT and knowing that it would complicate things why would someone change name. It doesn't help to hide travel history to Thailand and cover up things such as overstay. EDIT: just read the thread again. Couple of folk have asked "reason for name change" You did not address that. If someone asked for my advice re that, be it a friend or bar stool ....I would ask WHY.

Good pickup from @Pattaya57. Note also that in that thread the OP @Kilick did not make ONE subsequent post in his own thread. Nor has replied in this thread. All the answers and advice is detailed in that previous thread. Then you repeat same question (apart from TM87) ????

No

OP, note you need a Thai bank account in your name only. Do you have one. Also need to show funds (800k) came from abroad. Other requirements outlined in these attached threads https://aseannow.com/topic/1282251-visa-exempt-to-non-o-retirement-dates/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1301615-converting-visa-on-arrival-to-non-o-retirement-based-in-nan-province/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1297092-non-o-visa-retirement-purpose/

OP joined yesterday. Zero posts. Was in forum 4 hours ago and no contribution to thread. OP referenced his embassy does not provide "income letter" Stated was at immigration to "renew his extension" Implies has done extensions previously. More details required.

Something not right with this story. OP, what are your previous experiences with Phrae immigration office. What does this mean in your OP.. ".....and evidence of my overseas assets..…."

OP, I did little research and one site suggests that you can do border run and obtain another VOA. I always thought this was possible. I was under impression that VOA had to be via air entry

What do you find surprising on this. You did not have insurance. As a result you would be given a 30 day visa exempt entry. However you had a eVisa . What do you find unusual. Bit of silly thread.

I'm not so sure about that. Actually I'm planning to switch from extensions based on retirement using funds in bank to income method. My next extension (Oct) I will use money in bank and also start monthly transfers 65k + Then next extension after that I can show 12 monthly transfers. Being Oz my embassy does provide "income letter". I suggest the OP consults with his immigration office.

You have to request transfer of stamps. Immigration does not just do it and has requirements. In the main just photocopies of pp pages. Seems you are obtaining a certificate of residence at immigration. You would need to do passport update

It is possible and you are correct it's not an extension it's a denied application and given 7 days to exit Thailand

True. Thinking he has just used incorrect terms. Guessing he is Swiss and can obtain income letter from his embassy. OP, you should make few months of transfers prior to application

You can go anytime up to 30 days prior to expiry. 45 days at some io. Note your new 12 month extension will start from day of application and not from expiry of your current extension. Here is thread and also has links to other threads. Your wife will need to be with you for the change application but not for ongoing extensions.

I'm doing exactly that this November. No issue. Just travel with both passports. The non O visa is not transfered however they record it's details in new pp. The transfer of stamps eg reentry permit is done at immigration office where they were issues. Remember to also update things such a as bank account etc. There is no rule re timeframe to transfer stamps. You can travel with both passports.

Many reports of issue for some including myself at CW.

Only done at entries via land. Not for entry via air.
