Do i need to visit immigration office after my passport renewal to copy the entry stamp from the old passport? Is there any specific form for that?

I have just returned from a three week visit to the Uk. Does my next 90 day report date from the last one or from the day I returned?

I’m on a 60 day extension of a 90 day non o. Need to apply for a 1 year marriage extension. My 2 month funds seasoning is up on the exact day my leave expires. Is it still possible to apply? Someone told me need 14 days left on leave when applying. Thanks in advance for any info.

Criminal Record Check requirements for non immigrant O-A visa.

My question is what is required by the Thai Consulate in US to verify no criminal history. I have a letter from my state's DOJ saying 'my fingerprints did not identify any criminal history record maintained by this Bureau.' It then goes on to say that 'the response does not constitute a certified letter and cannot be used for an apostille.' Do I need a certified letter from the California DOJ to be sent to the Secretary of State's office to affix an apostille? Or will the letter that I have suffice?

I appreciate this group and the through answers you all have given me on previous questions.

Question, I’m currently in the US for 3 or 4 months, my Non O extension expires Mar of 26, I’m reading that renewal of extension requires a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining, my passport expires in July 26 which is short of 6 months. My concern is if I renew while in US that with new passport # I will not be able to make deposits to my Thai bank account.

My wife and I are from the USA and we received our Non-O (over 50) visas this week, with different dates because I had to resubmit my application. We have a flight to Thailand in just over a week, and we plan to settle in Pattaya initially.

My big concern now is how to open Thai bank accounts, and particularly in how to open them quickly enough for our visas not to expire before the 60 day seasoning period is over.

As I understand it, we need Thai sim cards, passports, visas, etc. to open the accounts (preferably with Kasikorn bank), but I'm unclear on the residence requirement.

If I have it right, then the TM30 form will be done initially by our hotel upon arrival, but it seems that's not enough for the bank to open an account.

Rather, it seems we need a Thai Certificate of Residence (TM13) from the Thai Immigration Office to open the bank account, which if I understand correctly, requires a rental/lease agreement (along with a new TM30 from the owner).

To complicate things even further, it seems that it might not even be possible to get a Certificate of Residence without living in said residence for several months, unless you are in a particular jurisdiction where the immigration officer might break the rules, possibly with the encouragement of an agent.

Assuming you get a TM13, it seems that it takes two to three weeks to actually get it, (by mail only ?).

Maybe I have this wrong, but that's why I'm asking. That said, I have a few questions:

1) Do our 90 days start with what's on our visas or do they start upon our arrival in Thailand?

2) Is a TM30 from a hotel enough to open a bank account or is a TM13 from Immigration required?

3) Can you get a TM13 from the Immigration Office with a TM30 from a hotel or is a signed rental/lease agreement required?

4) Can you get a TM13 at the Pattaya (Chonburi) office without living in a rental for an extended period of time, or do you need the assistance of an agent to avoid the waiting period in a residence (if there even is one)?

5) Must you get theTM13 by mail, and does it actually take two to three weeks to arrive?

5) Assuming a hotel TM30 isn't enough for the bank (as discussed above), then what's the fastest (recommended) way to quickly obtain a signed rental/lease agreement?

6) Am I missing anything regarding how to open our Thai bank accounts as quickly as possible?

Thank you everyone!

Hi, I’m currently in Thailand and will need to exit country after 90 days being on a multi entry tourist visa (METV - 60 days + 30 days extension).

Do I have to stay abroad for a certain number of days, or can I leave and return on the same day?

I applied for DTV visa and got cancelled because wrong passport number.

Fun fact: the Evisa website loads the data of my passport picture and I trusted that they correctly read my passport photo. The Evisa website read my passport number with O instead of 0.

Lesson learnd: never trust this evisa system, always write your information manually otherwise they collect a 14000 Baht just for pleasure...!

If I’m currently in Thailand and need to leave after 6 months being on a DTV.

- Do I have to stay abroad for a certain number of days, or can I leave and return on the same day?

Can I take my gf (as a dependent) to Thailand if I have a DTV visa?
