Thanks for the feedback. The gap in my passbook covered 3 months, so I knew a statement would be needed. I initially was going to use the statements available from my bank app but will be taking an official bank statement instead.

I have a cumulative update in my bank passbook, so I have added a printout of my statements from 1 Jan to Nov that includes the gap.

Will this suffice?

 Any firsthand feedback is appreciated!

Does anyone have feedback on the Thailand Pass process when taking short regional trips, for example a 5-day trip to Singapore. What was the timeline from submitting the request to completion? Is it worth the trouble unless the trip was necessary? Feedback is appreciated!

Thanks for the comprehensive report. I have one question how did you fill out the "Statement 3" form? 

Have you looked at Webster University Thailand?

My 90-day update  and 2nd extension (Type O Retirement) are due this month.

I plan to do the 90-day at the temporary Muang Thong Thani site in the morning and then the extension at CW on the same day in the afternoon.

Does anyone anticipate any problems?

Thanks!

Greetings,

My 2nd extension is due this month at CW and was looking for current feedback to prep.

1. Are copies of the Bank Passbook sufficient to demonstrate the 800K has been managed correctly or will bank statements be required?

2. Is verification for source of 800K still required?

3. Do they still need a hand drawn residence map?

Note: Since my initial extension I have transferred stamps to a new passport.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Greetings,

I just completed a Non-O Retirement visa transfer to a new passport at CW. I provided the Embassy letter, the transfer form, and copies of both passports, the initial 90 day Non-O and the subsequent extension, plus the last entry and the TM6.

The only thing that tripped me up was a request to validate my 800,000 baht balance since the star of my extension. I was not expecting this and did not have my passbook with me. Fortunately, my bank printed out and stamped a statement that I emailed from my bank app.

I also needed to transfer a multiple re-entry permit, however the IO stated that since I acquired it at the airport they could not transfer it.

My questions:

1. Has anyone had this situation at CW?

2. Has anyone requested a transfer of the permit at the airport? If so, what did you need?

Any assistance is appreciated.

My apologies for another health insurance question.

The window to extend my initial Non-O Retirement (obtained in-country via conversion of SETV) starts 1 November.

1. Given this is an initial extension do I need to take any action regarding health insurance?

2. If not, do current readings of the new guidance mean subsequent extensions would require health insurance?

Any thoughts or advice is appreciated as I prepare for my CW trip:)

Thanks!

I return tomorrow to CW for my stamp, so I will get a new entry stamp with the visa and post that on the request?

PS Yes on the valid dates.

Thanks

If applying for a re-entry permit the same day as being issued a Non-O Retirement visa (converted from SETV) how would you fill out the "My Previous Visa" section of the form?

I am thinking enter new Non-O dates, but use the last date I entered Thailand.

Thoughts!

Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. The goal is to transition from the SETV to a Non-O retirement. v/r

Greetings, I am looking for details of the current process for converting a SETV to a Type O at CW.

This would include current document requirements and the waiting time to complete the process (do they retain your passport, if so for how long?)

Any assistance or guidance is appreciated!

When filling in the TM:7 Port of Arrival & Date if you have already used a re-entry permit, do you use the re-entry info or the initial entry date?

Any assistance is appreciated. v/r
