Hi y'all! Thank you so much for making this group and thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

I'm from the United States here on a 60-day tourist visa that I applied for and got before I left. My visa is valid until the 13th of November. I would like to extend 30 days. If I go in on tuesday (the 8th) will that give me enough time? What do I need to bring? I don't really understand the residency document, do I just have the hotel I'm staying at fill it out? And what reason do I give for extending my stay, I just want to extend it but it seems like I have to have a reason? I didn't see any option for just "tourist" purposes. Do I have to show proof of onward travel like I did to get the first one?

Any other advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Can anyone recommend a agent that can open a bank account for me please?

I'm loosing the will to live with so many ropes to jump over to get a visa. You need a visa to get the bank account, need a bank account to get a visa 😭 I got a rental agreement, I got a letter from immigration, I got my son a year's visa (he's 5) and still cannot even get them to consider opening me an account, and I take my Thai friend with me 😐

Tod Daniels, Just a quick question, slightly off topic. Now that I have my AO(Retirement) VISA and extension. I went in to renew my drivers license, and needed the Residency document from Immigration.

I was charged 500 baht (Each) for the two licenses (one Motorcycle, and one Automobile.

No receipt was given. In your experience is this the "Normal" fee?

You can delete this if you want, no worries.
