Thanks a lot for the information.

Thanks for the heads up. Yes, the number changes.

Thanks for the information. It's very helpful. I should be able to get all of those documents prepared. Maybe it will be best to take care of my 90-day first and then the passports. The wife cannot go this trip, so hopefully no issues with the TM30. Thanks again.

Hello all, I hope you are all staying fairly cool in this heat. 🙂 I just received my new USA Passport in the mail and will be going to the Govt. Complex Immigration @ CW next week to link the new with the old and was wondering if I should be expecting any surprises. 1. My marriage extension is not up until June 2024, so I understand nothing needs to be done with that. My wife doesn't need to go to link the 2 passports, does she? 2. I will print all of the pages from my old passport (color or black & white - does it matter?). 3. I don't see anything on the immigration website about having to make a 'queue online' appointment. I can just walk in, right? 4. Does anything need to be done about my TM.30? The house is in the wife's name & I have a 30-year lease if that matters. Does she need to make a new TM.30 with my new passport? 5. Am I forgetting anything? I also printed out that 'Notification of cessation linkage letter' from the USA Embassy. I haven't had an entry/departure card for some time now, so I'm guessing nothing needs to be done there. * A little off topic but.... My '90-Day Notification' (TM.47) was up on February 16, as I entered (with re-entry permit) on November 18, 2023. I sent that in by post at the end of January, but I have still not received it back. This is the first time I have not received it within a month (aside of The Great Flood & Protests), so I'm not exactly sure what to do. I still have my receipt of registered mail from the post office as well as a printout of proof that it was received at the Govt. Complex already. I called the immigration hotline 1178, and the girl basically said to just come in with my passport and they will take care of it. She wasn't sure if I would be 'fined' as she said it was up to the officer. Do I need to prepare anything else special for this? Finally, I am hoping to take care of both my new/old passports as well as my 90-day issue on the same day. Should I do one before the other, or does it not matter? Thank you all for your time and helpful information & take care.

Thanks a lot for the help, and I have not changed my name.

Great. Thanks for the information.

Hello all. It's time to renew my passport and I think I understand most everything, but have a question about: "An original or certified copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order (if applicable, to document your name change) & one clear photocopy" I have a Thai wife and don't remember this part last renewal, but either way, 1. Does this mean the colorful marriage paper (bai samkan gan samrote) that the wife laminated OR the other mainly black & white one (bai tabien samrote)? and 2. My wife would let my passport expire before she would allow me to send the original, so where/how can I get the "certified copy"? Thanks for the help and I wish you all well.

This is how I read it the first time..."Recently, Thailand announced it will send 120,000 AstraZeneca doses to Thailand." 555

"The police are now coordinating with international agencies in pursuit of the arrest." Best joke I've heard all week. God, I wish I could hear that conversation...

I don't like my house mortgage & car payments. Can we all protest so I don't have to pay them?
