Mine does also, Chaeng Wattana; "[TM47] Notification for alien before the next appointment". Top service.

11:30? (time now 10:47)

No. It is not correct. Immigration only want to see the transfer into your account from a foreign source. Your bank statement will show this.

Yes. But his concern seems to be that it wasn't the same actual person that dealt with both ends of the process. Bizarre.

As I said. Not fake. Just opportunistic. (I doubt they will get rich)

If you already have a non-O for your first extension ("retirement") you will need to show 800k in the bank. Later years you can switch to 65k/month if you want to. Not sure what the UK has to do with any of this. Or you could just extend based on marriage., 400k.

Seriously? You mean a different "Officer" not "Office". Maybe she was on her period.

The site shown is not a "fake". It even states it is a third party service, albeit an unnecessary one. If you don't want to pay just do it yourself. Every country I go to has these sites pop up when searching for e-visa sites, it's not hard to work out.

You might want to step back and clarify your question a bit.

Sounds entirely normal. Relax.

Did mine at the exact same desk on Tuesday. 1pm appointment meant no doc check, straight to the IO. I had more documents than you, TM30, lease, 90 day receipt, etc. They didn't give anything back but if they were really needed I've no clue. After I was dismissed by the IIO I waited over an hour. But the girl in the back was overloaded with people returning from earlier mooring sessions, at least I think that was the issue.

Thai bank statements will do it.

I use Google translate, works well enough.

They are on here (Lamphun), if useful for Jomtien is anyone's guess..... https://lamphun.immigration.go.th/en/front-page-english/#onlineservice-2

I'd put the country the arriving flight came from. But suspect at the end of the day it is of no consequence.

I'm pretty sure I saw an answer to this or similar question already. The flight on the TDAC is the flight you arrive on. That's all you need to do. If asked for a boarding pass that is the one you will show. You can fit 10 characters in the flight number field so you could cram 2 flights in there, but for what purpose?

I have noticed 2 changes in driving here over the past 20 years. 1). People will now use the car horn out of annoyance - initially I was always surprised by the lack of outward irritation displayed. And 2). willingness to give way to emergency vehicles. Never used to happen. But just today I was on an exit from the expressway and an ambulance was approaching from behind. The bus next to my taxi and the taxi itself amongst others made substantial efforts to make room for the ambulance. I find it positive.

I had a 1pm appointment and was seen exactly on time. But I could see that pre-lunch people were returning to complete the process which is likely the cause of the delay as the girl at the back was getting swamped.

Yes I did. All was taken, if needed or not I cannot say. Sounds like I was lucky last year, not that it really matters but next time I wont book the re-entry appointment.

No issues with documents, all the same as normal. But whereas last year the process took less than 30 minutes today it was 1 hour 40. Last year the entire process from documents to stamp was handled by one person. This year that person did the initial part of the process, checking all the documents and taking the 1900 baht, then handed everything to the girl behind her and told me to wait, which I duly did. Eventually another assistant chap called my name and I was good to go. Three people instead of one. Not that I am that bothered but I missed my appointment for a re-entry and no way was I queuing for that as that also took 90 minutes last year - I'll get one at the airport next week. Which process is normal I have no idea, I'm guessing it's just an example of consistent inconsistency as applies to many things.

We don't know what his income is, only his state pension which he's only had for 5 years. He's been here 15, not surviving on fresh air (he has a private pension)

From the story...."Adding to his woes is a modest private pension that fails to deliver the retirement he envisioned." He must have something as he managed to retire at 55, 10 years before starting to receive his state pension.

Out of interest, do you actually know if the name registered on your SIM is the same or not as that on your bank account?

I'm wondering how you get to show the QR code to the IO?

Provided you can withdraw money instantly it ought not be a problem, apart from your loss of interest. (might be an idea to post this in the right place for better response).
