You can print your TM30 for 7 days after submitting it. You need to find the button that says "export". This will open the form that can be downloaded and printed

DON'T MIX THINGS UP !!! . . . . . . . for the application to the Non-O-family visa, you can show your original foreign marriage documents. . . For the application to the 12-months Extension of Stay Permit based on marriage to a Thai wife, you need a FRESHLY printed on the Amphur Kor Ror 22 for Immigration

a big boy's thing DTV. A 5-year visa for a 6-months holiday ? It takes a 10,000 THB minimum fee and a proof of 500,000 THB equivalent in your bank account since 3 months (plus many other requirements). A 6-months holiday visa can be gotten much easier

the safest bet is the 6-months multi entry tourist visa, before you cope with the risk to be refused entry if you try to squeeze 6 months out of two visa-exempt entries

Savanakhet Thai consulate was the last Thai consulate to issue multi-entry 365-days Non-Imm-O family visa to foreigners married to a Thai wife, without having to show finances. . .this generated a high influx and many many agents visits and also visits from Expats married to Thai wives. Since the consulate went to the E-visa online system and the multi entry Non-Imm-O family was discontinued, the arrival of foreigners has ebbed to almost zero

@Josh ********

no he didn't miss the point. The Thai bank asks for a TWO-WAY-PROOF of your idendity, which means you have to show TWO official documents issued on your idendity. ONE can be your passport, and the OTHER ONE can be your dirver's licence or your national ID-card

@Pete ******

a yellow housebook is then just a substitute of the Immigration's "certificate of residency", which you need for several purposes like the opening of a bank account, the purchase and registration of a vehicle or the extension of your Thai driver's licence. With a yellow housebook, you don't need the Immigration's "certificate of residency" any more

@Paul ****

a yellow housebook is a substitute of the Immigration's "certificate of residency", which you need for several purposes like the opening of a bank account, the purchase and registration of a vehicle or the extension of your Thai driver's licence. You can get a yellow housebook from the Amphur as soon as you live permantently under your friend's or wife's address. The process might come a bit more or less complicated, depending on the Amphur and how they see it and how many requirements they will ask for

@Michael *******

you don't have to be married to get a yellow housebook. I have a girlfriend since 17 years and I got a yellow housebook on her address

@Erick ************

you still use wrong wording. . . . Immigration will not issue any "visa". They will issue a "-12-months extended stay permit". And you don't "move your visa" from the old passport to the new one. Immigration will only "move" the EXTENSION STAMP
