If you get an extension in a passport expiring within 12 months the extension date will match the passport expiry date. If you then subsequently obtain a new passport and take both into immigration they will indeed transfer the stamps, but the expiry date will remain the same, they are not going to make up the time missing from the original extension.
-
No. Doing it that way you will first have to apply to convert to a non-O and then later apply for the extension.
-
You don't want a non-OA and can't get one in Thailand even if you did. You will have no problem returning after a few months. A single non-O is easy to get in the UK, then you'll have a couple of months to get your paperwork straight ready for extension. Or enter exempt or tourist and convert - but the ease of an online application in the UK versus an additional trip to immigration ought to be the decider.
-
O-A? That has to be applied for in the UK and is probably the least preferred option (needs police report/medical report/insurance). Perhaps you mean you intend to get a non-O and then an annual extension in Thailand? Or you can enter visa exempt/tourist and then convert to non-O and then extend. Do you already have the 800k in a Thai bank? I applied for a non-O in the UK the same day I returned from an extended tourist visa, non-O granted within 5 days.

But you'd have to pretend to live in the UK..... "Anyone insured on this policy must live in the United Kingdom (UK) and be under 76 years old at the time you begin each holiday."

Weird story. What was there first, the pole or the pipe? -
First retirement extension at CW
Upnotover replied to Upnotover's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The basic account for day to day use is a "Savings Account". This offers very low interest but deposits and withdrawals can be made without limitation. Alongside this account you can open a "Fixed Deposit Account" which offers a higher interest rate based on keeping the principal amount in place for the agreed period. Withdrawals can be made but interest will then be reduced to the very low Savings Account rate. The 800k you move in should go into whichever account you are going to show at immigration in order that it is clearly seen as a foreign transaction. They main thing for immigration is that the funds are immediately available to you. To open an account you should be OK with your non-O visa. I was also recently asked for a copy of my apartment rental contract in order to open a new account. Your experience will vary depending on many things; bank, branch, staff member, phase of moon, etc. The main banks websites are pretty clear and give all the information needed about their products. -

Only works with your own banks ATM's, which is specifically not what the OP asked about. -
Border bounce via air after using SETV
Upnotover replied to limesaz2015's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I had a very similar travel pattern in the last year or so, albeit my bounce was 5 days in Laos by land, but nevertheless no issues or questions and no problems with my next visa application. -

Re-Entry Permit Warning
Upnotover replied to mikebell's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Can't imagine why she would appear like that. -
With trips, food and accommodation covered that really only needs optional shopping for herself and gifts. £30-50/day would be more than adequate. More importantly for a 16 year old will be to make sure she has a roaming data package on her phone!

Re-Entry Permit Warning
Upnotover replied to mikebell's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So you'll presumably be getting your next extension before you go on your trip? Get a new re-entry permit at the same time, that'll be valid a year so will make up for your disappointment this time around. What is the warning? -
Wise confirmation of personal details
Upnotover replied to smedly's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I had this email last year, but it was more to do with confirming a UK address than about transfer of funds. -
First retirement extension at CW
Upnotover posted a topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Will attempt my first ever retirement extension in a few weeks time, currently in on a non-O. Afternoon appointment at CW confirmed already. I'm OK with the paperwork requirement I think, the only question I have is about the bank documents. The 800k has been there for over 2 months already, so if I go to Kasikorn downstairs on the morning of the appointment I need the standard letter and a statement - 2 months or will they ask for more? And will the bank easily produce these there and then - or will it take some hours? And finally, the update of the account passbook (small deposit) on the day - should that be done before or after requesting the bank documents? Any other potential hoops through which to jump? -

Sim2fly prepaid can you use in China?
Upnotover replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
I think you'll have no problems as it's data roaming, including China, that is the main point of these SIMs. And I've certainly used AIS in China with no issues and used Google maps for getting around. -
