I would carry USD in notes of 100

this makes it far easier to transfer inside a Thai bank using your passport 

you can use any bank, but remember "Do what they say"

I opened a Bangkok Bank account for my retirement extension and it works very smoothly.

my plan is to switch my arrival date to after the retirement has expired.

then enter with 30 day stamp, or get a 12 month NON-O outside of Thailand

If the immigration officer gave you a 30 day visa exempt instead of using your re-entry permit it would be separate.

what could happen if the immigration office doesn't give me the 30 day extension 

would i be forced to leave on Sept 22nd

If you have a valid re-entry permit you would be stamped into the country until September 22nd unless the arrival immigration officer was willing to give you a 30 day visa exempt entry.

A 30 day visa exempt entry can be expended for 30 days. After that you would have to leave the country.

do you mean the 30 day will be separate from the re-entry or linked

There are plenty of coin launderettes around and theres usually always a machine available .

   Washing powder ,works out about 5 Baht per wash .

If you have issues handling your own unclean clothes , maybe you need to wash them more often . 

   Its not necessary to sit and wait for the wash to finish , just come back in one hour . 

  This finished laundry has been spin dried , so its more damp than wet

Hang the washing on a washing line and its dry within a few hours .

No need to iron most clothes  as they dry unwrinkled 

Do you actually do this, do you actually leave your accommodation and go to a launderette.

I couldn't be bothered with ALL of that, worst case I'd stick it in a bag and pay for someone to do all that work and waiting.

I'm far too busy watching TV or Youtube 

Aye its only a friendly

August the 2nd (3rd in LOS) is a HUGE match now

then the return leg at Ibrox 9th 

if we can get to the Champs League it will be HUGE, if we fail the fans could turn on Gio

And you didnt bother to buy her a machine? No wonder she is your x ????

She's my future X wife, so technically we're still married 

our washing machine is celebrating its 11 year, time for a new one

Laundry should be 40 baht from Otteri, it's actually hard to spend money here, i can only guess the big spenders are trying to impress women all the time

yes you are right its 40 baht from the machine, but you haven't included 

1. Sitting waiting to find an empty machine
2. paying for washing power
3. Loading dirty laundry into the machine 
4. sitting and waiting for the wash to finish
5. unloading the wet laundry
6. drying the wet laundry
7. ironing the laundry

Suddenly going to a laundry service shop isn't so bad 

i realised i had finally made it, when my future X wife started washing my laundry in the shower. ohh happy days those were 

once we find somewhere to cook properly and get our laundry done, our costs will drop significantly.

eating out and going to laundry shops is a HUGE waste

By adjust your application you mean falsely declare that you’re applying from a country your not resident in, your suggestion his illegal and highly risky.

yes it was a risk, but i have my new passport now. it took exactly 28 days since i was late getting someone to take it to the UK and then mail it.

I suppose i should have used EMS, i paid 115 GBP for 50 Pages.

i'll do my other passport once retirement extension is renewed September.

Apparently you can now,

https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports

you can't use Online application from Thailand

if you go through the steps it requests you go to BKK 

"

Making your application

You must apply in person. If you’re unable to, someone else can go on your behalf. You must bring photo ID with you.

Bring original supporting documents and a colour photocopy of each one. The original documents will be returned to you.

All well and good if you live in a country that allows online renewals for UK passports, Thailand isn’t one of those countries.

 

You don’t appear to be posting from Thailand.

you could adjust your online application and perhaps ask someone to take your passport to UK and then post it to them from there

it would be returned to UK address then then that person could post it back to you via EMS

the time taken is approx. 3-4 weeks.

its worth a shot rather than going all the way to Bangkok

Unless I'm mistaken, your re-entry permit is in your primary passport along with your extension.

 

 

 

 

Yes I have a re entry permit in the primary.

I'm worried if i want to put my new retirement extension which is due September in new passport they'll ask for more than the usual amount of money in September.

another question

what is the expiry date for UK passports in Thailand?

for example the expiry date has changed in EU countries, its now 10 years from issued date, and NOT the expiry date mentioned in the passport.

my primary passport has Issue date of 16 August 2013 and expiry date of 16 May 2024, so its 10 year duration is actually 10 years and 9 months.

i received a travel warning advisory earlier in the year whilst en route to Seville in Spain 

Hi all

I'm UK passport holder, who carries 2 UK passports because I'm a frequent traveler

i'm due to arrive in LOS September 7th

i have NON IMM extension of stay based on retirement for 1 year., which is due to expire September 22nd, this is stamped in my 1st Primary passport.

my primary passport is due to expire May 2024

I have just renewed my 2nd (alternate) passport. expiry June 2032

i want to transfer my extension of stay to the newer passport, or at least get my new extension 2022-23 in the newer passport after September 22nd.

which passport should i use upon entry in September 7th at Suvarnabhumi, will Thai immigration stamp the new passport or will they continue to try and stamp the newer passport.

please note my primary passport has NOT been cancelled, its still valid for travel.

thanks

I think I know the answer for 99% of us......????

 

if you hold 2 passports, you NEVER have to worry about that again

Just now, transam said:

There's me thinking it was illegal to be in LOS without a passport, I mean, the theory is it must be carried at all times here, perhaps that has all changed....?

i cannot answer that, maybe Ubonjoe can ??

for initial request of 2nd passport
