If you don't have a bike licence in the UK you won't have one on an IDP either. The only way to get a UK IDP is in the UK .

Can I use my current TM30 form to apply for a one-year extension on my non-O retirement visa in Thailand?

@Rudi **********
 they won't care but you will need to have your landlord file a fresh TM30 for the place you are renting. Each TM30 replaces the previous one.

What are the requirements for a Non-O Retirement Visa extension in Thailand, especially in Krabi?

@Sasha **********
 the money needs to be in a Thai bank so it's baht that matters, not dollars. It will sit there a lot longer than that, the rules say it has to be there 2 months before, 3 months after and can't go below 400k at any point in the year. Your money doesn't do nothing but interest rates in Thailand aren't great.

You use the TM30 for where you currently live. It doesn't matter that you own a condo if you don't live there

What are the current requirements for obtaining a Non-O marriage visa in Vientiane, Laos?

@Alexandr ****
 note it's for "visiting Thai family" so its not just an extension of your current visa. It just so happens that your wife is your thai family

A map from the immigration office to where you live, many offices want this to be hand drawn not from Google. You'll also need at least 3 months of bank statements, 12 months for future extensions
