What is a residence entry permit? I will re-apply in September 2026 for another 90 day Non-O based on marriage. Just that this time, I have to return home to sort my house out unfortunately.
Thanks. So they stamp the date 90 days on from arrival, but if you decided to come home earlier then no big deal? I will be coming back after 58 days. so won't be extending it to a 12 month based on marriage. We will come back later next year to do that.
Agree two separate entities. When checkin in at BKK for returning to UK, all my wife shows is her UK passport as that is what matches the airline licket. Then, the UK passport is put away and only then does she need to show Thai immigration her Thai passport when leaving. But prior to proceeding to passport control when leaving Thailand, she has to show her UK passport and boarding pass to get through the security gate, and only after then show her Thai passport to the immigration officer. (But having said this, we left Thailand last April and there was no immigration officer. Someone scanned mine and my wifes passport but it wasn;t the immigration police in a booth. Maybe thats a new thing?)
As you say Jim, just enter Thailand on a Thai passport. And then leave on it as well!! No need to show the UK passport except at check-in to obtain boarding pass.
when your daughter is at immigration leaving BKK airport, does she show her boarding pass? I don;t recall having to do that I think it is just the passport check that you are officially leaving Thailand. The passport your daughter shows at check in is her Japanese passport? In our case, our flights are booked in our UK passports. So that I reason is why only the Thai check in desk requires my wifes UK passport.
Hi Tom I will be doing the same shortly so thanks for sharing. But do you not need the SIM first before going to the bank? (as well as the certificate of residence?)
