Immigration office near the airport

Or Immigration office at Promenada

Up to you.

Every foreigner in Thailand on any kind of visa or visa-exempt entry must do 90-day reports. Fine for failing to do so 2000-5000b.

You have to make a deposit or withdrawal in order for the bank book to update to present day. Every year when I apply for extension of stay I do a small deposit like 100b and re-run the book to get a current date and balance.

As stated above, you need a 2-month statement (I do 3 months just to be sure) - but you also need a guarantor letter signed by the branch manager or someone of sufficient authority. These can be done up to 7 days before you apply for the extension. Also, you will need to update your bank book on *the same day* of your application, so before going to immigration deposit 100 baht and update the book to show current 400k+ balance.

"I understood the 90 days would restart from the date I extended my visa".

As you have learned, 90-day reports and visa-based extension of stay do not sync-up. Of course they *should*, but sorry nope.

@Henry ******
That window closes from noon until 1 pm for lunch break.

P.S. I also went to airport-side immigration a week ago (July-30) and the drive-through window was definitely open =)

Conflicting reports last couple days, need to clarify. Guy here says he went yesterday and it's open. Would seem ridiculous to close down such a successful and popular service.

'Kay looks like I'm submitting my passport renewal by mail asap, and pray it comes back before extension time. Thanks again for your advice.
