Not if you're trying to enter visa exempt. But if you have a valid visa then you can return same day without issue.

I assume you mean Phra Khanong, in Bangkok.

If that's the case, you go to the main immigration office at Chaeng Watthana to apply for your extension based on retirement. You're not getting a 1 year retirement visa, as you already have the retirement visa. You're just applying for an extension.

there is no number of days to leave. The moment the divorce is final, the extension is invalid. Most people will know ahead of time and plan accordingly.

The owner of the group got notice from immigration that for extension purposes, foreign women married to Thai man will remain the only ones who do not have to show financial proof. All other marriages will require proof of funds. Thai male foreign male, thai female foreign female, Thai female foreign male.

I've yet to hear of anyone getting a visa or extension within Thailand based on same sex marriage, but based on the immigration policy, I would not expect there to be any preference to any other marriage type except Thai man with foreign woman

It DOESN'T MATTER what you put. There is no one checking anything. It's just a system that confirms you entered something. Put what you want.

Never send in things that are not asked for. You're more likely to complicate matters than simplify them.

Also, even if you did send every page, they would likely ignore it at the point that you sent it in, then when they wanted it later on they would just ask for it again.

On top of that, the "purpose" of asking for every page is an attempt to catch you doing something wrong. If you already sent every page of your passport from the beginning, that defeats the purpose. At that point they would just ask you for something different, like proof of receipts and photos of your location.

There's no "easy" path to permanent resident. But out of everyone, it's foreign women married to Thai men that will meet the least resistance. But that takes years, and it would have to be completed before the spouse dies or else their application would be cancelled.
