Yes. I can 100% confirm that you will NOT get anything else from the Oz Embassy. Immigration get confused because other embassies DO provide such a letter when a passport is renewed. ie US embassy and others.

@Emma *****

You don't get any slip or a letter from the Australian embassy. Only the stamp. I just told immigration that my embassy does not issue any letters, showed them an email from the embassy that stated this.

@Emma *****

They put this in my old passport.

Get a letter from your embassy that says you got a new passport. Or, if your embassy is like the Australian embassy that does not issue them, you need a slip or stamp in the passport that details that the passport was cancelled and replaced by xxxxx passport.

When you say last time....what extension of stay did you get last time?

When you do eventually get to the point where you need a year extension of stay IN country....ie....the third year, you will need 800k in your bank for 2 months or more before your application for an extension of stay, 3 months after the extension is granted, and also for the rest of the year you need to keep minimum balance of 400k.......Another option is 65k a month transfers into your account, from abroad, permitted by some Immigration offices. Fun fun.

15 - 45 days before, depending on the office.

Depends on the office that you use. They told me in Pattaya that the minimum was 15 days and the max 45.

I see you don't have 400k in a bank account. Are you planning to arrange that? You should arrange it ASAP, and then you can stay for a year hassle free. All of this COVID business will go on for a long time yet. Get whatever extension you can in the mean time. Looks like a further 60 day is possible for people now.

Do you have 800k in your Thai bank account?
