My neighbor went to Vietnam earlier this month and the lady at the Don Mueang airport asked if had an extra passport photo. He did but he didn't know it at the time. She charged him 200 baht for not producing the passport photo.
Which was very reasonable. So what is the message?

I did it yesterday. Of course without TM6. Just leave it blank.

No mention of a hand-drawn map in your original list, though, which has, I believe, been a nonsensical CW requirement for retirement extension applications. So presumably common sense has finally prevailed in that regard?
Yes, I have read the same and did have one but was not asked for so not offered.

It's still on Booking dot com and a simple search would have shown him where he was going before he got "ensnared".

Excellent report. Thankyou.
Just to clarify.
You did not provide TM30.
What you provide for address?
Lease?
Yes, as said....

wait until youve done it a few times and report back, especially when they change things form last year, or just make up some new crazy idea. I was once told that as the corner of my bed was not in the photo for marriage visa that It had to be redone , a drive of 40km.despite previous years being fine.
Sure, I know how things change. I used to get non-O multi's in the UK just by being able to name a Thai person. I'd still be happily doing that but unfortunately that door closed long ago.

Went today to CW for my first retirement extension, non-O from the UK. Absolutely no issues at all. A 13:00 appointment* and my passport stamped and good to go by 13:45. I presented the following;
TM7 application form
Copy of passport photo page and all stamped pages - they didn't keep any other than the photo page and last entry page.
Copy of non-O e-visa
TM30
Apartment lease
3 additional forms they gave me to fill in (overstay acknowledgement, some other things, didn't actually read them)
Bank letter**
Bank statement (I gave 12 months where 3 should have been enough but why invite issues)**
Copies of bank book account page and last page showing a transaction today**
*Highly recommend to make an appointment, easy to do online, as you get let in first and before the masses waiting for a queue ticket.
** Bank documents obtained form Kasikorn downstairs. Took maybe 30 minutes and I was impressed that she provided the copies of the bank book without me asking - that was next on my list to go and get done. Today's transaction was the Grab taxi I took to get there - I had given 100 baht to deposit but she gave it back, "no need", at least that saved 1 more signature and one less thing for her to do.
I then went for a re-entry permit. TM8 from the information desk, queue ticket and then counter C2. That actually took 90 minutes as I had to fetch and fill the form, get the ticket and it was rammed with people. But I was already happy with my initial success so didn't really care. Could easily save time with some preparation and I think there is some speedy online appointment version that can be done, but I'll worry about that in May 2025.
Oh ,and some nice Ramen for lunch downstairs.

The only thing to add is take proof of address with you (bank statement, utility bill, etc). This isn't made apparent in the instructions but they will ask for it.
Actually, it's pretty clearly stated;

12 minutes ago, Pattaya57 said:From your own link it says by land and sea, not by air:
For traveling to Thailand by land and sea, UK ordinary passport holders are eligible for Visa Exemption Scheme with a maximum of twice in a calendar year.
Yes, but you can see why some (airlines?) might be confused by the opening statement;
UK ordinary passport holders can travel to Thailand without visa for no longer than 30 days (maximum 2 times/year).

Can he just buy an onward ticket that is valid for 48 hours and upload the booking reservation to the online application?
Yes. Maybe better to buy a fully refundable ticket or even a cheap real ticket and bin it later.

Yes
4 hours ago, Jack1988 said:And about the proof of accomodation can he book an hotel for a week and after they approve his visa application just cancel the booking free of charge?
Yes.

They are really trying to put off tourists it seems. No idea, just say anything reasonably credible.

Didn't work just now in Pattaya, two 7 Elevens, did you try there?
No, not in Pattaya. Bangkok, Ubon yes, maybe some more, I have the idea it's down to staff awareness rather than anything else as I have experienced the first line staff having to seek advice from above to get it working.

anyone use it in Thailand?
6 hours ago, Upnotover said:Yes in 7-11 and several other stores around Bangkok and beyond. Mine is using a Wise debit card so its the only way to pay using that in 7-11. The wprd "tap" and gesturing with the phone seems to be enough to get them to activate the reader. Really anywhere accepting contactless (as opposed to QR) payments should accept.

Exactly. I know that Krungthai will charge you up to 1500 for sending money to a foreign country. But receiving? Haven't had time yet to go to Krungthai, will go in soon.
You don't need to go in. It is clear what has occurred. Next time just tell the sender to send you THB.

I am already in Thailand. Just looking for an advice on how to stay here for 6 months. Then go back to my country and come back again every year
So you'll have to do an air run. Probably a good idea to go elsewhere for a week, Phnom Penh maybe, you might be able to pick up a tourist visa there while you are at it.

You can only do 2 land border entries per year so your best option is to get a tourist visa and first enter by air, 60 days + 30 day extension. Then 1 land border run + 30 day extension. 1 more land border run brings you to 180 with still the option of another 30 day extension.

Wise will send GBP via SWIFT.
Ah yes, thanks for that. So it appears the OP was actually sent EUR which would explain the missing amount.

Sounds like Wise wasn't involved at all. They don't send anything, simply transfer the quoted amount locally. Weird thread.

I didn't send it, but I saw the pdf file from wise and it was just some Euros fee. As for Krungthai, I saw on the App that I received it, there's no information where or from whom it came from. Zero.
You "saw" the Wise transaction document? Can you not see it again and check the numbers on it?

Wise is usually very clear about what you will receive before you send. And your account wil have a clear record of what charges were taken from any money you send. Do you not have these records?

You probably don't actually need one but if you decide to try you get it from DLT, some information here....https://www.dlt.go.th/en/international-driving-licence (it's a permit not a licence but they don't seem to know that)

Is the system actually 5g anyway? Im not sure. But I know for a fact i got 50mls with my oneplus 9 phone
It is but speed varies a lot. I am on True 5G, Redmi Note 13, and right now am getting 17.4Mbps. Most times it is much faster than that, usually 60-100.
edit - Just tested again, 68.5!

What does the network connection symbol show? - should indicate if you are connected to 4G or 5G.
Can anyone explain this
