Visa extension
Those photo/print shops at various immigration offices is best bet. In OP case walk in with pp and say to copy shop joint ....."30 day extension" They will take pp and do what's required. If photo for TM7 required they will advise. Still suggest OP has a TM30. -

Combined car+motorcycle Thai driver's license not possible?
I did my first one in Bangkok with a retirement extension of one year They told me two years first And then five years after that Last year I didn't have the retirement extension and came in with a Visa exempt and they would only give me two years So it depends on Your Visa status As to how many years you get -

Why tell the truth if there is NOTHING in place to confirm the truth, unless.................................................. Or, because a junior staff member of the TRD said no need to file. Be sure to record the meeting. -

EV Charging Stations (CS)
So, true to my word i decided to try and charge on an EleXA charger without using any credit/debit card registration on the app, my theory being it wouldn’t let me start charging without any form of financial backup as from what i have seen the charging apps require a card registration or money in a wallet before allowing charging to start. But, after scanning the qr code on the charger and it asking for some tax receipt information ( passport number and address etc, which i believe was already in there but slow app brought it up again ) it started charging. It started at 56/57 kWh and as i was alone on a 120 kw charger i had expected it to rise to 114/115 kWh ( or even 79/80 kWh), as i had experienced with ReverSharger 120 kw ). I left it charging 5 minutes but it stayed at 56/57 kWh. On stopping charging i got 4 payment options of which i chose Prompt Pay and a QR code, money paid and tax receipt issued by email, happy ! The app worked a little slowly and took around 1 minute to start charging, maybe the charger would have upped speed if i had waited longer but i was just happy to see it working without any money tied up in a wallet, registering my Thai debit card ( which it refused after entering the first couple of numbers ) or my U.K. credit card ( which i didn’t want to register due to risk my idiot bank locking it ). Now, this brings me back to Altervim which i had encountered totally unprepared on a road trip up north. I didn’t even have the app ready and after my Thai debit card was refused, and my U.K. credit card was locked by my U.K. bank I gave it up. I think I probably did try to start charging and was refused due to lack of backup card registration but who knows maybe it would have worked like EleXA ?? According to PlugShare app my nearest Altervim is 180 kms away so unlikely to test it out anytime soon . So, I find myself in a situation where i have 4 charger apps to cover any eventualities and each one works in a different manner. EV Pluz — straight from my Thai bank using debit card registration. PEA Volta — money added via Wallet Reversharger — Credit card ( also Wallet now ) Elexa — pay after charging using QR code. Happy that i have coverage for any last minute travel plans that might arise but a little standardisation of the payment methods for these apps wouldn’t go amiss !!- 1
