If your passport expires earlier than the 365 days you will be given extension with expiry date matching your pp. So no big deal in your case as you only lose few days.

As far as I'm aware CW is the only immigration office that has this requirement. No point in comparing Phuket.

I last obtained a residence certificate 2 years ago in Bangkok. I had my lease and copy however didn't take it. I provided TM47 receipt (seemed to be main item) Also some basic pages from pp. 200baht and posted out within 1-2 weeks.

Correct.

If you are referring to obtaining an annual extension then correct answer is given above. Unless you can obtain a new passport prior to expiry of your current permission of stay then it would hardly be worthwhile to obtain an extension.

The 800k maintained for 3 months is from application date. For the many guys (including myself) that just keep 800k + in a dedicated bank account, if they ever wish to change banks I suggest to do it in two hits after the 3 month requirement. So transfer say 400k three months after application and later the other 400k+. In your shoes I suggest check with immigration with bank book pages printed out for advice. For some reason immigration can be very fussy on this.

CM is up to 45 days early. You can try earlier and show flight ticket. Your extension will only be issued up till date of expiry of pp. 12 months validity is fine. If you withdrew the funds from one account and placed then in another that may cause an issue. Sounds like you did that within 3 months of obtaining previous extension.

Which immigration office?

Usually done couple of weeks prior to expiry have read reports of people obtaining them earlier. Check with immigration and explain.

Yes you can obtain a 30 day extension to your visa exempt entry. You should have been given a 45 day stamp yesterday. The io was talking rubbish.

Read 3 post on this thread from ubonjoe I will take his advice over yours. Never to old to learn!

No

Again. You have no idea what you are posting about hence on ignore

Just passport. Also bank book if using funds in bank method

Most immigration offices do the extension from 30 days prior up till expiry of the 90 stamp. Some offices allow up to 45 days early eg CW, CM etc. Obviously do it early enough to attend to any added requests from immigration

Requires ongoing insurance for extensions based on retirement.

Extension from a visa exempt entry attend IT Mall Laksi. Extension from a tourist visa entry attend CW..

Only one 60 day extension to visit wife per entry. You can obtain non O from Savannakhet or you could do border bounce reenter visa exempt and obtain non O marriage in Thailand

Extension application date. Not expiry date.

Stop misleading posts. Folk obtaining a non O from visa exempt or tourist visa entry have a non O and 90 day stamp accordingly. They can then obtain subsequent ongoing 12 month extensions.

Interesting that you start a thread with basic question and then state the above Some immigration offices do check and while I have never read report of rejection for not maintaining funds for under consideration period the advice you posted is poor.

Flight from Bangkok to PQ would be via Saigon. Phu Quoc a dive in my books.

It's boring? As I posted there is current thread and many knowledgeable folk have recommended agent details. This thread is Pattaya specific. If you live in Bangkok you can contact @ThaiVisaCentre for advice who are involved with this forum. Many other agents that are mentioned often. It's not difficult.

The rule is to maintain 800k+ for 3 months after application for extension and can then reduce to 400k and back up to 800k + two months prior to next application for extension. As for change of account.... If you have the funds best option would be to wait till the 400k period and transfer 400k from existing account into new account and the remaining 400k 2 months prior to next application.

Please post something sensible. Recommendations for agents are ask for in many threads. In fact current thread on that. I post agents names in many threads. It's not secret information.
