I will be going through CM Immigration drive thru....the attached note from Chonburi Immigration is copied from the rear of my passport where the TM 7 is mentioned

This is a pretty big forum and I'm sure my answer is there some where, but to save time I will ask the circle of knowledge. My first 90 day report is due late January 2023; I understand that along with my passport I will need the TM 47 together with the TM 7 for my first report and to appear in person. At the base of the TM 7 page 2 there is a place for your photo......it also mentions something about a fee. Can someone enlighten me about the TM 7 fee amount/requirement thanks.

Okay all....thanks for the input. Cheers.

It seems from the few replies other than the marriage extension there is little reason to have my Aussie marriage to a Thai national recognised in Thailand. I refer to my wife as my Aussie wife because of this laugh laugh. Cheers.

Many thanks, we are moving into a house tomorrow which ticks all the boxes........15000 THB a month mate.

Myself and my good Thai lady were recently married in Melbourne while she was on holdays. This marriage plus and Aussie bank account will enable her to access a certain percentage of my Defence Forces Retirement Pension once I die. I told her she needs to keep me upright and breathing for 3 years at least to qualify, anyway this is what I want for her. So the Aussie marriage was planned and beneficial for both of us. We are now living together in her home in CM whilst she teaches during the week and I relax and look after the house and dog. My question is; are there any advantage/s for me in travelling down to BKK to have this marriage registered/recognized in Thailand other than the marriage extension which of course I'm not on nor interested in. Cheers

I am looking for a 1 story 3 bedroom house to rent in an area where my wife can easily access her work in Nong Hoi....she drives her own car. I do have a 12 yr old Jack X dog who arrived in CM recently and won't let me out of his sight probably due to his ordeal travelling from MEL to CM and this is currently leaving me house bound. I go through the local rentals daily and now have an idea of areas good for my wife's travel but my ability to communicate with agents is limited because I can't speak Thai yet. It is hard to involve my wife during the week as she teaches at a private school so needs to do her job and when she gets home hardly has the energy to help. I do have accommodation in my wife's house which is situated in a Thai village not far from CM train station....while here I could never own a car as the Sois are too narrow...if so myself and dog could be mobile. And because of myself and dog being present we do need more space. If the advice is get a motor cycle forget it as at 69 yrs old not about to start now. Okay long story short......anyone know any real estate agents who could assist? Am I going about my search the wrong way? Cheers, I am appealing to your local combined knowledge on the subject.

Same in Melbourne on Ebay; once was enough.....got my trusty Panasonic wet/dry tuned up for Thailand and use genuine Mach 3s for going out.
