That's good to know. Is that something that can be done if you are not flying? Normally at the airport you need a boarding pass in order to get through to the immigration / re-entry desk. Is there a way to see immigration and have a stamp moved when you are not flying?

@Tod ********

my flight (Thai airways) Perth to Bangkok earlier this month they asked at check in IF TDAC had been completed, and pointed to a printed flyer listing the website and steps to complete TDAC.

Immigration officer at Bangkok didn't want to see the TDAC QR code, email, etc as could already see it in the system after scanning my passport.

What about the (potential) home visit?

I was told by CW that they might come for home visit, and phitsanulok immigration that there would be 3 home visits. I understood they don't make an appointment, just phone 2 hours or less before arriving, and if you are not home for their visit they just cancel the application.

Hence, I understood during the under consideration period you can't even travel to a different province without risking missing the home visit.

Note: I did apply for the one year extension based on marriage to Thai wife at CW in December 2024, and we did not have any officer visit before going back for stamping at the end of the under consideration period.

@Tod ********

do you know if ChaengWattana with the 21 day under consideration is like this being 21 days from application or 21 days from end of current stamp?

My entry expired Monday 9 December. I applied for the one year extension at Cheng Watthana on Friday 6 December. I got the 21 day under consideration to go back on 27 December for the 1 year stamp

@Ellie ******

thank you!

I just got my licensee at driving office in Min Burri, Bangkok.

I used:

- Australian driving licence and international driving permit

-medical certificate - easy to get from local clinic

-yellow house book as proof of address (easier than getting residence certificate from Cheng Wattana for me)

I had to do the easy test: depth perception, colour blindness, etc

No driving theory or practical driving test required.

@Andy *******

I speak fluent Thai, so not lost in translation. Though easily could have been made up on the spot. I'll go back to my DLT appointment with the yellow book and see what happens.
