Dear Immigration official of the Royal Thai Government Please be informed that as of April 10, 2023, the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and the Consulate General in Chiang Mai no longer issue passport linkage letters. For purposes of transferring visas for cancelled U.S. passports to new U.S. passports, please refer to the passports themselves.

@Reda *******

FYI: " i try to ask some family agent about visa and not 400k but ask me 55k… yeah ok 15 months not only 12 but too expensive!"

contact Grace at Thai visa centre , bet she will get it for less

AFTER u have the 400,000 in the bank fly out or land border and return on a 30 day visa exempt entry>

day after you arrive go to immigration with ur bank book and child's BC and tell them you want a non o conversion . They will tell you what else you need, the visa is 2,000 baht, Than after 60 days apply for the 1 year extension.

"....There is no problem on how to collect it."

OH yes there is as thai's, those on diplomatic passports and those holding Non B visa's are exempt>
