What are the best visa options for my daughter and her boyfriend to stay in Thailand for 7 months?

Ray *********

thank you. In normal times we would have the choice of visits to Cambodia, Vietnam etc.... can't rely on that option being available by March

Can I transfer my non-O retirement visa to a new passport if I renew it before my current visa expires?

Ray *********

Your profile suggests you are British. Do the passport renewal NOW. You have presumably done a 90 day report last month so you have plenty of time... do not wait, appointments at VfS are Covid affected so the 'normal' one month timeframe may well be longer.

What are the current procedures and timings for 90-day visa reporting in Bangkok?

Ray *********

@Stuart ********

spot on...but, for clarity, the 15 days includes the due date so it is really 14 calendar days, so (for example) 24th March reporting date means that you can do online from 10th to 24th and in person until 30th (24th being day 1 of 7) .

Should I get my visa stamped at Suvarnabhumi Airport or Chiang Mai Airport when connecting flights?

Ray *********

You will be stamped in at Swampy... can take an hour at busy times. October should be OK... but you have to get from international arrivals to domestic departures. Far too tight for comfort unless you are 'transiting ' through Bangkok, which I doubt.

You don't need a passport to fly Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

How can I manage my UK passport renewal while on a SETV in Thailand?

Ray *********

Thanks

I agree entirely about the logic of that. You do actually retain the old passport"for ID purposes" and only the copies of the old PP go to Liverpool.

How can I manage my UK passport renewal while on a SETV in Thailand?

Ray *********

... whilst this may infer Thailand, it is not specific.I can imagine that it may e possible to evidence a UK address and supply a covering note that says you are staying temporarily in Thailand. The passports have to be collected from VfS so the address is arguably irrelevant.
