Thank you . Will they let me keep my passport as I will need to travel out and I assume the re entry stamp is at the airport before I leave

Getting at the airport is somewhat guaranteed ( as much as can be )I can’t risk leaving without it as will need to head back to uk

Graham . Uk

Hi . Thanks all for your responses . I submitted the online application on the 1st . Got an email on the 3rd asking for colour copies of the my Thai marriage certificate and wife’s Thai id . No further communication or update since the 3rd : it has been 8 working days since the 3rd. I assume this is well within the advertised time to consider. When should I start getting worried

Thanks very much . Can I apply for the multiple re entry from the airport as well and do I need a residency permit for this

Excellent . How do I apply for the re entry , airport or from the immigration department at Chang’s Watthana , and if airport what docs do they need

Thank you all .The application was submitted in the uk about 8 working days about ( 90 day non o spousal ). From previous post , it can take between 2 days and 3 weeks . Do I need to be in uk for the approval ( which is emailed ) or can I fly elsewhere to wait for the approval and then to Thailand

@John *********

correct . I should have mentioned 90 spousal visa . So the latest months bank statement is enough

@Günter ********

thanks for this . I am married to a Thai national so keeping this option open makes sense

@John *****

John . Thanks . This is for an initial 90 day retirement and followed by extension in uk ?
