Hi everyone, I've been renewing my marriage-based extension annually for a few years now. At my appointment yesterday, for the first time ever, the Immigration Officer asked me to get a fingerprint and a clearance report. They gave me a letter to submit and get back once it's ready.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is this a new standard procedure, or could it be a random check?

Any insight would be appreciated!

I have question

Does buying ticket from onwardticket. com

Or similar websitez that give you real flight for 2 days is good for applying for setv evisa

Because in documents that I need to provide there is flight booking confirmation

And evisa process may take 7 days or 5 or more so the ticket will not be working agter 3 days or 2 , and if I buy real ticket I may loose 1000$ if evisa not approved because ticket from Morocco to bangkok are not cheap

So what's the best solution

And if there any advice to give me so the evisa will approved

So i am a little confused when applying for the non o visa on the thai e visa website, some have said that you do not need the health insurance for the non o (90 days) but when you pick the sub category (1 year extention ) retirement you need it . I thought you can go into thailand on the non o and do everything there within 90 days to get your non oa . So the wyestion is do i need the health insurance when applying for the 90 days non o or not.
