Samut Prakhan Immigratiom ask for 2 months before applying and then when you collect after 30 days under consideration to prove it is still 400k. So 3 months in total

The IO came to my house in January. Quickly walked around downstairs and compared the photos I submitted with application to the house. Spent a few minutes talking to Thai wife. Then called on the neighbors. Spent more time there than they did with us

Take the overnight train to Nong Khai. Usually arrives around 7:00am then taxi over the border

You may also require a certificate to confirm you are still married. Samut Prakan ask for it and it’s on their list of docs to be presented. They also request photos in house of all rooms excluding bathrooms

There is only one place that does that in the UK.

I had to send the original certificate to a solicitor who certified it was original with a copy then send both docs off to this place

I get a home visit every year when I renew my Non O extension from Samut Prakan IO. I have never been asked to pay a fee. Always polite and offer a drink is all it costs

They are very friendly at Samut Prakan, even the IO that come out and do the house visit.

The only sure way is to check with the initial airline that you can check your luggage all the way through.

I flew Astana to Istanbul for a connecting Gulf flight and no matter how much I begged they still made me clear customs and buy a visa for Turkey. Which was issued and cancelled 35 mins later when I passed back through immigration
