Thanks for sharing! I agree that having a digital backup is a must. One thing to remember: every time your passport is updated or you get a new stamp, you have to stay disciplined about updating those copies. Just a quick question: I’m curious if hotels actually accept a digital copy for check-in, or if they still insist on seeing the physical original?

Hello everyone, I currently hold a 12-month visa extension based on having a Thai child, which expires on 1 April 2026. My daughter is studying at a university near Bangkok and will be busy with exams throughout March. To avoid disrupting her studies, I am considering applying for a two-month extension instead. Does this mean she would not need to be present with me at the Phuket Immigration office? I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you.🙏

Yes, that's my yearly routine. You might find this useful: Immigration sometimes requires proof of a small deposit (for instance, THB100) into your fixed deposit account (or equivalent), showing the precise date of your extension application.

It happened me too. My main suspect is my cat but no evidence...

What about Hama as partners? I guess not.... 😔

Also Driving license...showing passport number.

Also, require two witnesses.

TrueMoney is the most unfriendly interface for expats. 👎

Correct: Putin Declares “Ukraine Is Ours Mine”

How did you know? Did you have an affair with my wife? 😮

You are lucky.... Mine is Phuket - The deposit is required 😒- obviously it depends on which IO. In fact, it is peculiar because KKB fixed account can not add any fixed deposits but SCB can allow. Retirement extension seems to be more eased....

2 or 3 months seasoning, 400K & 3-months bank statement with bank stamp. Also your bank book must shows 100B deposit on the SAME day you submit the extension form.

Many delicate nuances in sign language... One example... "I am impressed !"

Sounds more like civil offence relating to immigration issues than criminal offence.

If Thai man is evicted from home by Thai wife, he can legally live in the beach. So why can't this expat do the same?

Me too, I got Kor Ror 6 document showing 100% reponsible father (based on divorced) but Kor Ror 2 or 11? are also possible - something to do with the status of the marriage? Mother do not live with me & Thai child.

"Ni Hao" has two sides of the meaning so "Farang" too. Very nuanced...🤔

It would bring me greater satisfaction to witness four heroic officers apprehending a reckless Thai driver responsible for numerous injuries and fatalities, instead of seeing them involved with a harmless English teacher who fosters Thai students' self-assurance. Unfortunately, this scenario is never reflected in any news articles.🫤

Just to mention curiously about interest for Fixed deposit. Once you opened the fixed deposit account, the interest rate, the interest date & the balance should obviously be shown in the bank book. But if, I either withdraw or add, the interest rate will be automatically to the lower interest & I lose the interest between opening & transaction date earlier than the interest date. The immigration says I must put the 100B deposit for extension purpose so it means I have no choice & I am forced to lose the interest earlier than the interest date. This situation is something I need to be careful & how to avoid losing an attractive interest. Can anyone share this peculiar situation?

I do jugging, uncycling, & diabolo. I believe it is great way to coordinate both mental and physical health. Fun for all ages.

Hi, I just got the 12-months extension based on single parent of Thai child recently. Before that, I had a slight teething problem with bank statement. Last August, my old fixed deposit book (balance over 400K) was transferred to my new fixed deposit book with better interest (using the same bank). I put 100B deposit on the same day I applied for extension. As the result of that, the statement shows 100B with the present date and the balance carried forward shows zero (obviously it does not make sense) in despite the new book shows over 400K with date I received the new book. This matter was solved after the friendly argument with Bank manager but I have to delay the next day to apply the extension. Tips: I would recommend anyone who open the new fixed deposit account immediately put 100B cash on that same day. This will guarantee the statement will show both the initial balance and the start date. I know it is not mandatory but better to be safe anyway - the "balance carried forward" without date in Thai system may cause the confusion.

Let's hope Thai immigration/customs will treat her fairly with reasonable explanation.

I understand your concern to protect the value of the Buddhism and its Thai culture & I respect that. At the same time, I am in little delimma whether the lady with tattoo purposely intends to cause the offence to Thai society and she asks good simple question: is this wrong? So my answer is this is not wrong unless the law says. 🙏

Image on the human skin is not part of the goods! It is her own body....

Thanks for info. Yes, I agree the restrictions/the regulations should imply for goods against any illegal activities in my opinion. I find difficult to accept the tattoo to be recognised as goods because it is on the human skin permanently.
