Can I extend my Non-O retirement visa in Thailand if I leave for a family emergency?

Michael ********

Either get an extension of stay before leaving and a re-entry permit. Or, if you have legal Thai family, get a 60 day extension of stay based on family, and a re-entry permit.

What should I do if my husband's US passport has only one page left and his visa is about to expire?

Although technically feasible, this is illegal and high risk. Better to fly out and get a new passport.

Can OX visas in Thailand be extended for a second 5-year term?

@Robyn ******

In order to get an OA, you would have to go home anyway. Much better to get another OX again.

What is the best way to handle the transaction timing issue for Thai Marriage Visa extensions with SCB?

Michael ********

I had this problem as well. For SCB if you make a withdrawal on the day, it can show immediately show on the book, but the statement will not show it (as they update this after midnight I believe). So, the book and the statement will not match. All you need is the book updated on the same day, so that it matches the statement.

What is the correct timeframe to submit an electronic arrival card declaration when flying to Thailand?

Michael ********

@Anna ********

"Within 3 days of arrival" means that it must be completed sometime during the 3-day period immediately following the day of arrival. This is incorrect information. It must be completed within a 3 day period, before arrival.
