Just carry both passports until the visa expires. A visa is still valid in an expired passport, but can't be transferred. Then when you get an extension of stay, you can get it inked into the new passport.

Correct. Definitely office dependant. Luckily I have to use one of the worst ones, Chonburi. 🙄🙄

it is has been in place officially or unofficially for ages. I went for one more than a year ago and it was the same then. :)

It is a 60 day tourist visa, not a 3 month tourist Visa. When the Consulate issues the visa, you must enter the country before the Visa expires, anytime within the 3 month period. You will be stamped in for your 60 day visa on arrival into Thailand. Once in the country, you can apply for a 30 day extension of stay (not a visa).

They have been saying it's the last one for about 2 years.

You should go well before your due date. At least a week or more, to be on the safe side. Leaving it until the last minute is asking for trouble, if there any issues with your documents.

If you got another tourist visa in a neighbouring country, you could get 180 days.

Yes very common for 30 days after getting a 1 year of extension of stay based on marriage, and 3 months after based on Retirement.
