Yes and update you Thai sim too if you have one.

Definitely tourist visa and not visa waiver?

You change the visa application at your next extension date. You need 800k baht for retirement vs 400k for marriage.

Marriage extension is good up until court signs of a divorce or at the end of the extension if the partner dies during the extension period.

We are.doing our first extension based on marriage ourselfs and its time consuming. Asked an agent and the look of fear on her face and suggested retirement visa which she could do for 25k baht. We got a 60 day extension added while we sort it out from Chon Buri Immigration as Petchaburi Immigration after what must have been 10 checklist visits still said no.

then convert to e sim and forward the QR code.

3G cell is being switched off. 4G and 5G will continue. How old is your SIM card as it should still roam for OTPs. You can get UK SIMs on Shopee. You can get a virtual UK mob number called More Mins that renews once a year. All UK networks are retiring 3G to use the bandwidth. 2G also but slower as the UK smart meters use 2G for data sending.

2 visa exemptions per calendar year. These are tourism visa waiver so do not tell the IO you are visiting your wife or he/she might tell you to get a non O visa for family visit.

Yep Jomtien is the one. I think to set your expectations join the information queue. Its the room on the left as you walk in, you cant go anywhere else until they issue you a counter ticket. Its a kind of triage room first. If you are chilled go Tuesday. I suspect they will not want to back until the 2nd week of January with all the paperwork. And when in a government building dress accordingly in this period of mourning.

TM7 to be written in blue ink not black.

@Mike *******

you need join the information queue and get the checklist on what they need. Then you go back and if you have everything they give you a ticket to go into the immigration room.

Mondays are hectic. When does your Non O expire as sometimes they won't let you process until 2-14 days before hand. Non O retirement right? They will give you a TM7 to complete and you will need a passport photo too. You have a paper copy of the the TM30?

There is a photo copy and passport photo service on site. Decent coffee also. You will need it. There is usually 4 working on the information desk and they are really efficient and munch through the queue. Lunch break is 12 to 1.

@Sean ******

It will already be on the HMPO system that you are dual nationality.

@Dainius ********

be careful what you say to the immigration officer when you arrive. 60 day visa waiver is for tourism and not to see your wife technically.
