I thought this would be ID card and a recent letter to your current address?

you got no chance. if your IN hospital, in a coma etc, you will be fine, if your walking it better be to an airport or a border lol. good luck!

if you had your extension. go do your visa. you got no chance mate! if your conscious in Thailand you better go get your visa. They dont give many cares or emergency anythings

Not an app, there is a really pretty country, where you can visit, find loads of nice food, look around, be a normal person and meet some people, vibes and tribes lol 🙂

Take a stack of baht, then leave the centre of bangkok, head to the burbs a few stations along the way on the tube. Go in every bank along the way and tell them you need to deposit the money to buy a condo or car. Savings account in minutes.

i think he has a pension which will kick in or its impossible, cant move here on 3k alone!?

when my wife come to visit UK, it was pretty simple. no big money fees etc, just a simple application and I had to show I had a home and job in UK and some holiday plans for her. sounds like you are potentially going to get in a pickle here mate. It helps if your gf has a real job, where she has to return to work, and is taking her annual leave to go to visit UK.

yes! when in the immigration office you sometimes see people in hand cuffs being led away to a NON public place. its no joke, the forms are a pain, but better to do them, get a nice new visa, and be allowed to have nice holidays in the future, no troubles and bans. I have children here, 5 year ban is a long time! its not worth the trouble over a 1900 baht visa and a trip to the office for 1 day! Even when my visa had issues, the IO told me how to fix them, what to do, where to go and was reasonable and polite.

dont overstay, its the direct ticket to problems. the forms are a bit long but just do them, pay the fee, get a visa. its easier than dealing with troubles.

I can confirm you can use either 400k or 40k a month on the same transfer date (that's where I tripped up, many different dates) to get a non o marriage, so it maybe similar for retirement too.
