I am just trying to imagine, that if the guy and his Thai wife already divorced 3 years ago, he would still use this "rose bordered marriage certificate" as proof of marriage. That's why it is not accepted by Immigration. The freshly printed "Kor Ror 22" of the Amphoe is the more actual proof that the marriage still exists
Allow me to correct: he doesn't need the "Kor Ror 2" (which is the rose bordered marriage certificate). However, he needs a freshly up-to-date "Kor Ror 22", which is the marriage registry printout by the Amphoe
well okay. But you need a Thai Last Will if you want your kids inherit the condo. A U.S. Last Will is not valid in Thailand, and the direct heritage is not recognized. You should contact a lawyer for this
correction: your name is on the Chanote as being a lesee, not as being the "owner". You can't own land in Thailand as a Non-Thai, except it was maximum 1 Rai part of a BOI project. If you started a company with the sole purpose to achieve land, this was an illegal move
If you are flying out without a visa or on a one-way flight, you must expect that the airline CAN ask you for proof of onward travel from the destination country within the expected length of stay stamped upon entry.
They "can", they don't have to. But if the check-in crew consistently implements the aviation rules, they will definitely ask for it. Because this rule EXISTS!
If you have never been asked for the onward travel proof when flying to Thailand without a visa, this means you have been lucky
Thai immigration is usually not interested in proof of onward travel or the return flight. They only ask for it randomly.
It is also important to know that many airlines do NOT accept a train or bus ticket to a neighboring country as proof of onward travel, but insist that it must be a FLIGHT ticket.
since a bus only goes to the border and does not cross it (right-hand drive/left-hand drive!), such tickets are sometimes NOT sufficient as proof
Of course, there are people in every group who claim the opposite, but they can never GUARANTEE it, whereas a flight ticket is always a 100% guarantee
Then there are people who firmly claim that the proof of onward travel is not true, just because they themselves have never been asked for it.
But these people can never guarantee in these groups that this will not happen. That is why such behavior is irresponsible and dangerous!
There is NO guarantee that you will not be asked at check-in. It could just as easily be the other way around and proof of onward travel will be requested.
Then you stand at check-in and cannot board!
That is why I do not think it is a good idea to present your own experience as irrefutable. Thousands of travelers have already been turned away in the past.
there is no health insurance requirement for people who are on a "1-year Extension of Stay" based on a Non-Imm-O visa. Only people on extensions based on a Non-Imm-O/A visa require a mandatory insurance. If this can be your US Medicare insurer, or if it needs to be a tgia-listed Thai private insurer, you will have to ask your specific Immigration office
