GETTING DTV with an expiring passport (late 2025)

So basically trying to get the dependent DTV for my wife after the gay marriage law comes into effect this 22nd.

Her passport expires November 2025, and its currently Jan.

My question is:

should we renew her passport first and THEN get the visa (American) but I have no idea how to do that while abroad. Nor how long it takes.

OR is it okay to do it now, and when she renews, do they cut out the DTV from the old passport and re-apply it to the new one?

I've been looking for a good Muay Thai class or school in Bangkok but many of them seem to be scamming me by overcharging, likely just to make the DTV Visa. Could you please recommend any good schools that offer affordable prices?

Got my bank account this morning with no problems whatsoever (well, one tiny one that I'll mantion later), at bangkok Bank Meechok branch (Chiang Mai).

We were told that even though I had got a residency certificate, they did not require it, as my non-o visa and marriage certificate were enough..

My little problem...... I now have the book, the bank card, and I can access my account online with no problems. However, I cannot access through the mobile app, as the faciaL recognition required insists that I have a face covering....... It's my beard...🤣😂

Guess it couldn't all go to plan, so the 30 mins it took was good. Unlike the flights where we paid for 16 hours and got another 18 for free through Beijing...☹

I'm on a yearly extension of stay for retirement based on a non-immigrant O visum.

Before doing my last TM47 90 day reporting online on 02/01/2025, approved on 03/01/2025, my next reporting was due on 16/01/2025. Now the next one is due on 02/04/2025. So far, so good...

This morning, I received an email saying this:

"Your receipt for notification of "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" will be due on 16/01/2025.

(...)

Please apply TM47 request online or contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area before due date."

2 questions:

1) Should I worry that Immigration may have bungled up my last TM47? I just checked in the online system where everything still looks good.

2) Useful to know for the next time: Can an online TM47 nowadays also be done just 5 days before the due date? The email text suggests that this is the case but I think TIT also applies here and it might be a "misunderstanding"... So far I thought that it was only possible 14 days to 7 days before the due date, hence I did it 14 days before.

Am I right that I can apply for my 30 day extention within 45 days of my 60 day visa expiring? If it makes any difference I'm planning on using phuket town immigration.

Many thanks

Hi all,

I have a work permit valid until March 12 which I won’t renew and a Non-B visa valid until April 14.

My question is: when do I need to leave the country?

I would like to stay until April.
