Do I need to complete a 90-day report if I'm leaving Thailand in a week on a DTV?

Wannikea *********

The online reporting method is only available from 15 days before to eight days before. Bottom line is if you've been here for 90 consecutive days you report, period.

Should I send my complete passport scan with my visa application or wait until asked?

Wannikea *********

You could send in all your passport pages preemptively with the scan of your Vietnam visa, entry stamp, and accommodation booking. All that after you've crossed into Vietnam of course and then submit your application. worst case scenario they ask for more recent photos.

What is the process for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand for long-term expats and their dependents?

Wannikea *********

You're both likely on extensions and not visas, should be pretty straightforward to change the reason for your extensions. As always contact your local immigration office and ask for the handout and procedures to change reason for extension.

Do I need to apply for a new DTV if I renew my passport with a damaged page?

Wannikea *********

Your old passport is invalid once the new one is issued, it's only purpose now is to confirm the same passport number the visa was originally issued to is yours. All stamps will be in the new valid passport. Printout a copy of your DTV as well for the passport control officer.
