Ok forget what I said. I guess it was too much to ask for at least one of the two online links to work for an appointment at an IO in Thailand. Neither are working now. How does this country run when they can’t even keep websites functioning? Strewth!

Appreciate your help but the other link Brandon provided works fine so I’ll just use that.

Browsers—Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

The one Brandon mentioned above is still working though I believe.

No. Still down for me.

Related to my question above, I can now make an appointment it seems but only as far out as one month from the appointment. What I would like to know is how many weeks or days can a person apply for a new 1-year Extension of Stay? I heard it was 45 days before but I might be wrong and/or it might have changed. TIA.

Update— I didn’t realise I had to register (yet again for a Thai gov. service) so once I did, it appears I can now make an appointment. Thanks.

Thank you for the information. I tried that other one as well and can’t get it to work. Just gives info but no link to anywhere an appointment can actually be made.

likewise. I hold quite a substantial amount of that myself as well. I think part of the reason why they only allow THB is because like most banks around the world, especially high street banks, Thai banks are all hemorrhaging money because most people simply do not use them anymore, and anyway, hardly anyone has savings nowadays due to the downturn in the global economy.

AFAIK, this is not true. Only THB directly can be seasoned as money for a Thai visa for, marriage, Education, retirement or any other. I asked about other assets held in Thailand e.g. cryptos in a Thai exchange? No. I asked about properties in Thailand in my name? No. They are very strict about this THB rule as far as I can tell. Good luck.
