ok thanks. Do you know anything about the under consideration question? I've done this three times but can't remember if they returned my passport back to me the same day with the new extension or whether I have to wait days or a week. Possibly the waiting for consideration process is only for the initial 90-day over 50 type O, and not the yearly extension.
if you're talking about U.S financial accounts and verification messages to a u.s. number then yes I have been doing that. My Google Voice number is 5 years or more old so not sure if the newer numbers have the same capability.
I get confused on tm30. So just to make sure, having this receipt to in my passport is all I need. .. I do not need to take the receipt to immigration today in Jomtien and have them do something with the receipt?
