There are differences between the embassies and official consulates where you apply for it at. On the list you posted this one for those on a extension that was done for a non-o visa entry.
February 9, 20215 yr Author Thank you Joe, I think this list was compiled at the Thai (US) Embassy but assumed it applied to all. The applicant will be applying from the Thai (Australian) Embassy. Why would there be differences? Well we know!!! I'll just pass on what I have to date. Edited February 9, 20215 yr by bdenner

February 11, 20215 yr I know of a couple of people on Retirement Extensions that had no problems qualifying for a CoE online, booked and paid for both ASQ and insurance and have recently re-entered Thailand.
February 11, 20215 yr Hi, need quick advice. I tried to upload the Personal Declaration forms but there is not a separate section to upload. SO I uploaded the 3 pages of this form in 3 diff sections. But the Embassy refuses to accept this kind of upload, insisting that it be uploaded onto 1 section only. They refuse to accept that it cannot be uploaded on one section. Its been over 3 days going back and forth on this, while other docs have been accepted. Any advice.

On the COE application site you can upload files. Can you create a PDF file after scanning the form.
