There are appointments available for an extension based on retirement. At least there are at CW. It might be useful if you were more clear about what you are trying to apply for "visa renewal" and where.

You misunderstood them, they said they has a nasty itch afterwards,

You'll have to apply for an annual extension. No big deal really and you don't have to leave the country. You'll be able to get the extension on the back of the visa you just got.

Well it's starting next month and not only will your 70 minute wait be gone but also your multi entry visa. They are not offered in the e-visa system.

Climax? I went there 6 months ago, shortly after it re-opened (or is there another one coming?) If I remember there was a cover charge, that could keep the trash away. It was actually quite pleasant with good music and certainly not any overwhelming Indian influence or crowd.

Had she not filed a complaint, then what?

I know many people who stay in Thailand on a "retirement" non-O extension but work either outside Thailand on rotation or for foreign companies from home. When applying for a "retirement" visa or extension you will not have to lie or withhold any information as you will not be asked the question. You will only have to demonstrate that you are over 50 and have the required money in your bank. Having said that I see no reason why you shouldn't try for the DTV as you seem to meet it's criteria. Nice to have the choice.

I use my Wise "virtual" card for anything online, including Lazada. It's preferable as if somehow compromised it is easy to create a new virtual card rather than the hassle of getting a new physical one. I have 2 physical cards which I use when essential, hotels, etc. My cards all stay "frozen" until actually needed.

7-11 it works fine. Supermarkets and most shops in malls. Only issue is a relatively low limit for a "tap" payment - I think it's THB 1500.

My breakfast yesterday. Won't be happening again.

Festive drinks at midday, comparing xmas jumpers, etc. 3pm a full on pub lunch with "all the trimmings". Kip. Midnight mass somewhere on Soi 4.

Surprised the embassy didn't provide them a photo of a current UK passport rather than one phased out over 4 years ago.

If you live here, as it seems the OP does, why would you cling to the past? What would be the benefit?

You are not renewing your visa. Presumably you mean your extension of stay? 30 days before and none after, as advised.

That's 11. And we all know what 12 is.

Seem to be a bit of a thing there at the moment.

Savannakhet will be new to the e-visa system and not all consulates apply the same rules. For example Hanoi has also recently joined and does have the requirement (see below). As nobody has done it yet it is hard to predict. "3.5 Evidence of adequate finance: evidence of finance of at least THB 400,000.- or equivalent in other currencies for the past two months. "

The app allows you to change phone number. It will require verification but it appears it can be done by email.

CW with an appointment. Queue number called exactly at the appointment time. 2 minutes to process. Excellent service all round.

Luck. I guess not all offices apply the same rules. I also got mine rejected (CW).

You watch the video in several sections. At the end of each there is a question to make sure you are still awake.

Not really recently but I did use a bank statement to renew some years ago. No reason why that should not be accepted.

Generally speaking, no.

You cannot apply that early, I think it's only possible 3 months before expiry. However, you can renew up to 1 year after it expires. And whenever you renew it in that year you will get 5 years+ validity - it will run until your next birthday 5 years later so can actually get nearly 6 years if you time it right.

Would have been just as effective as the 10 passenger one.
