When you obtain a new PP you have to inform Bank for one. No need with ID card.

Red is possible in your case.

Totally ignorant comment. I did not need any witnesses as Scorecards experience and in any case staff in the office would witness. Not an issue.

Look at immigration Bureau website Permanent Residence Book

I have been using attached for years and complete them in advance. No need to make appointment and it takes about 5 minutes for IO to check forms, documents, receive money, take fingerprints. Never more than 2 people in front of me in the queue. tm13.pdf tm22.pdf

Follow scorecard's advice and obtain a definitive answer rather than wasting years re-applying for PR. A trustworthy lawyer should know or if not be able to easily find out, but essential to get information from the horse's mouth. So many extensions have been given for people who are too lazy to leave Thailand that I would hope that for people in your situation what scorecard did can still be done.

I have top tier status on Thai, Qatar and Emirates, so I can sit in the First Class Lounge in Doha or Dubai and not enjoy a few hours in transit when I want to rest or sleep, so Thai Airways direct to and from London is my choice even if it costs 20% more (Eva Air also OK). Service on Thai is better including in terms of knowing when to serve you or ask, compared to Qatar Airways for example whose staff disturb passengers when the do not disturb sign is on the Q Suite. I don't care about the food and drink. After several thousand flights and about 2,000 on Thai Airways privacy, direct flights, comfortable bed/seat, arrival time, etc are important to me.

Thanks ubonjoe. Successfully done without me even asking. The IO asked me if I wanted to transfer to my new 2nd passport to which I said yes. Embassy letter not required. All done in 30 minutes and as always exemplary and professional service from the ladies at Counters E1 and E2.

I only take my passport when travelling to a remote area of Thailand after a flight. I have used and continue to use the ID card for everything I need - domestic flights, hotels, banking, sending post by Kerry Express, using DHL; only once when departing SVB did a young lady at security say PP required, but the lady next to her quickly said PP not required.

I have 2 British Passports; one which has my recently expired Non-Quota Immigrant Visa in will expire in about a year and the other I obtained in November 2020 applying at VFS in Bangkok. I plan to travel overseas from Bangkok frequently in the next few months. In this period it is not possible to renew my British Passport which I use for my Non-Quota Immigrant Visa for obvious reasons including long waiting time. Also, it may be difficult to obtain a supporting letter to renew this passport. Has anyone got any positive experience of transferring 'Thai' visa from 1st to 2nd passport in Bangkok Immigration? If so did Immigration accept the standard letter on British Embassy Bangkok letterhead with a dated date, i.e. in my case the Serial number on the letter is dated November 2020?

Some people would say best place, but depends if a person partakes.

Must be one of the most boring presenters ever. Hope TAT don't discover him.

KBANK and BBL accepted Pink ID. SCB advised me not to change from PP as it would take time to change the APP. As I primarily use SCB for DD I took the advice of SCB and will reconsider when I obtain a new PP.

Of course PRs are entitled to use the manned counters for Thai PP holders on departure and arrival. About 5% of the time on arrival I used these counters when autogate was problematic; always used autogate on departure when in use. I have used the 'new' fast track twice on departure; once travelling in business class and once travelling in Thai Smile Plus. No questions asked by staff.

For information departed SVB yesterday and autogates are not in operation for Thais and PR holders. I did not bother reregistering for what would have been the third time.

Worth every baht.
