Are you graduating with a Degree from a university in Thailand ?

Or are you completing your course in a Thai language school ?

The answer is VERY important.

As you are eligible for a one year Ed Plus extension if you are graduating from a Thai university.

Where do you live in the USA?

@Trikker *********

there's NO in person visits with the Thai Embassy or Consulate in the USA 🇺🇸. That ended when the Thai Evisa online application system took effect a year ago. The ONLY time you might have to visit the Thai Embassy or Consulate is... IF you are invited for a personal interview. However we have not seen that happening in the USA. It does happen in other countries, especially in SE Asia.

@Paul *****

that's nice of the Thai Immigration Officer to have done that...

But it is a rare happening in Thai Immigration offices.

@Bob *********

and if they don't ???

Which soft power activity and how many months of it are you submitting with your application ?

You should be fine with 3 MONTHS of bank account STATEMENTS and a balance of US $16,000 OR MORE... on the third statement...At the Los Angeles Thai Consulate.

NOTE THAT THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE USA THAI EMBASSY AND CONSULATES IS FOR $16,000. OR MORE BALANCE

It's always best to ask the Chiang Mai Thai Immigration office for their requirements for your change of address.

The following is the AI description of the requirements for changing your address registration with a Thai Immigration office in Chiang Mai.

It's to show PROOF of your having the 800,000 Thai baht on deposit in your Thai bank for the 2 full months before the current ending date of your one year extension of stay,

...and kept at the 800,000 Thai baht balance for 3 months after you receive the one year extension of stay STAMP in your passport.

Otherwise, the bank account balance must be at least 400,000 Thai baht for all other months.

You should not have a problem entering Thailand as Visa Exempt Entry. Getting 60 days on arrival Plus one 30 day extension of stay at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

A border bounce will get you another 60 days STAMP on arrival Plus one 30 day extension.

Your day of arrival into Thailand counts as Day #1.

Have the address of where you will be staying during the first week of your stay in Thailand.

Have a ticket departing Thailand within the 90 days from your date of arrival to show...if asked...by your airline on airport check-in and on arrival into Thailand with Thai Immigration Officers.
