Can I use a new passport for my Thai visa application if I have entry stamps from an old passport?
Brandon ************
1) probably okay. I'm not sure they would even me able to tell that the passport is different.

2) probably okay as long as you don't try to get an extension in Thailand

What documents are needed for a marriage visa application in Thailand if the Thai marriage certificate is no longer available?
Brandon ************
The non-O visa IS the marriage visa.

If your marriage is already registered in Thailand then you can get the marriage certificate from any amphur office in Thailand.

Brandon ************
The BOI website has a list of approved LTR agents. If you insist on using an agent, then it's one of those you should use.

They are not cheap, over 100,000 baht. I'm not sure why you would want to use one but they're there. You are still going to have to gather and submit all the required documents which is 99% of the work.

@Roberto ********
 I can make a bank statement in 5 minutes using a pdf editor and ChatGPT. If it's not printed and stamped by the bank it is not an authentic document and should not be accepted.

What are the requirements for extending a DTV visa in Thailand?
Brandon ************
@Sebastian ********
 except when you go back to immigration with all of them, they're going to have 2 or 3 new things. Once you get those and return there will be another round of new things. Repeat this until you run out of time and have to leave. They do not want to do DTV extensions.

Can my Thai girlfriend travel to Laos with me for my Non-O visa application?
Brandon ************
@William ********
 did I say visa on arrival? I said BORDER PASS. That's what Thai people get if they don't have a passport. Also Thais get visa exempt into Laos with their passport, not visa on arrival like you got.

 you cannot park AT the border, but there are parking lots you can pay to park at just before it. Easy walking distance.

 just make sure it has more than 6 months left until expiration. Laos has a rule that the passport must have at least 6 months left to enter.
