@Sean *****

many ChatGPT advices regarding Thailand are wrong. Because ChatGPT sources a lot of wrong info out of the many Facebook groups, where everybody and his grandmother feel free to spread wrong info

I smell that a delay rather is connected to the agent you are using

it is called "60-days extension based on family visit". However he can only get it if their marriage is registered inside Thailand, because Immigration will ask for a freshly printed marriage registry printout from the Amphur

Anonymer Teilnehmer 385 he seems to still have a visa sticker in his passport, not an e-visa .pdf document. The DTV visa sticker is NOT transferable, because it was issued by an embassy. Immigration is NOT a part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration does NOT have any of those stickers at hand. What Immigration will exactly do is unclear, but they cannot transfer the "visa". You will probably be told to KEEP the old passport with the sticker, because the sticker is a valid visa with a visa validity of 5 years.

a yellow housebook and the TM30 registration of you staying at a certain accomodation, have NOTHING to do with each other. A TM30 ist a registration of your adress at any location inside Thailand if you travel or if you arestaying permanently at the given address. A Yellow housebook is just a subsidiary of the "certificate of residence" from Immigration, certfying where you are "usually" staying and being "at home"

like to say: "a mandatory Thai tgia-listed private health insurance". Foreign insurances will not be acknowledged by Thai Immigration as soon as one switches to yearly extension out of a former O/A visa. And starting from the extensions onward, there also must be a minimum of 800,000 THB on two separate Thai bank accounts, in the sole name of each applicant

@Kim ********

Peter"s grasp of English is correct. You are wrong. "not earlier than 72 hours before arrival" means exactly what you should do: if you filled out the TDAC as "early" as 94 hours, 80 hours, 75 hours etc. etc. before arrival, the TDAC system won't accept it. That's why the TDAC should not be filled out "earlier than 72 hours before arrival". And of course you also can fill out the TDAC "later than 72 hours before arrival", which would mean any time between 0 and 72 hours before arrival . . your problem seems to arise from ignoring the negation

you picked a bad day to visit the bank. It was a holiday yesterday. I never visit a bank right after a sunday or after a holiday

yes, only your "main" branch is going to issue the letter. If you move to a different location, you need to establish your new residence at the local branch. It can be done with a "certificate of residence" from Immigration

if you are a U.S. citizen, you can apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa in your home country using monthly income. But for the application to the extension of the 90 days stay permit to a 1-year stay permit based on retirement, you will need a minimum of 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account in your sole name, seasoned for 2 months, at least for the first year extension of the stay permit. Because your embassy in Thailand will not issue an affidavit of income for Thai Immigration . . . .only for the second year, after having collected 12 monthly transfers of a minimum of 65,000 THB with proof they have been sent from abroad, month for month, confirmed by a 12-months Thai bank statement, Immigration is willing to issue the 1-year Extension of Stay Permit using monthly income
