Went to bank today for visa renewal paperwork, showed them last years letters so they would know exactly what I wanted. Got something similar-ish and was assured this was fine, I wasn't 100% but thought I'd give it a go. Immigration asked me to go back to the bank because it was incorrect. The same lady said 'you got the wrong information from us because you asked me for a year, not 12 months! 🤔🤔

Another question about the 6 month Tourist Visa....I understand that the 6 months begins on date visa is issued. But since you are not yet in the country. And you have to do 1 or 2 visa runs (every 60 days (or 90 if you get an extension)). This means you don't get a full 6 months in country, right? I assume you must depart country by end of 6 months after visa issue? Or do you get the full 60/90 days on the last re-entry, thus putting you outside the 6 month (180 day) period for your departure? Does this make sense? Thanks again for any clarification.

Per Thai immigration I live in a unique timeline (yes I know what the Thai says but still, I may have a case for an eternal multi entry)

hi today I applied for 1 year permission to stay. I got the under consideration stamp of course. Can I be certain that it will be approved? The reason for asking is that I have to return to immi the very day I would have to leave Thailand according to my arrival stamp!

Process/timing question. On 30 November I applied at CM (airport office) to convert my 45 day tourist to a retirement/permission to stay. They folded up and stapled a blue form inside my PP (I believe it was an “under consideration” form) with instructions to return 23 December. I assume this is to receive my 90 day stamp? If all of the above is correct, my question is when can I go back (with all of the appropriate forms) and get the final stamp indicating I am now on a one year permission to stay? I have heard immediately as well as when I am within X days of the expiration of the 90 days. Thanks.

A question on re-entry permits as I have never needed one.

I assume that the re-entry permit also expire if your visa expires whilst outside of Thailand?
