If I leave and reenter, I always visit local immigration after return home and they put new 90 paper in passport. Have to report for TM 30 anyway

@Tod ********

mine wants that day only bank letter and update book. So in general drop by for 90 day and ask them to look my papers, copies photos what I need. Last time go get bank letter update book NOW come back. Done 1.5 hours including bank run.

I don't use my dual wife at all for visa except to talk with immigration at times. Sure they know over a decade I can easily do marriage, but lots more hassle for them, as retired is all local. So just keep the 800k in bank. I did my non o retirement in USA, so no issues 11 months, other than just doing paperwork for extensions annually. More hassle getting new passport, due again. I always obtain reentry permit locally if leaving nation, so usually cheat and use Thai entry line with her. Never been a problem, as I'm in computer with visa already. Come home go say hello and get new tm30 and 90 day paper as need to go store anyway. I try yo use the kiss system

@James *******

fraud? I could do marriage easy, but retirement far easier for immigration. Local vs regional and previous BKK only.

@James *******

only if planning a marriage extension. More difficult than retirement. Lots more paperwork.

@Cesar *********

it's for your current visa. IE if you are on annual it's good for the time of that visa, but only once unless a multiple reentry permit.

After the initial 90 day after, move 400 to new bank. Wait a month more the rest. This way you keep 400 constant on deposit. I would not do all on the same day.

If working should have work permit and school do visa.

@Wannikea ********

just use the expired thai passport. A few years ago going to USA, I didn't know her Thailand passport was expired, her US was new. The immigration officer asked if she had another valid travel document..aka passport. Have a good trip, use the expired on return no problem.

@Tod ********

not according to the law, and it's not an initial 90 day, but a 1 year non o visa. I have one with about 16 17 extensions that was valid for 1 year from entry date. And once here I started using transfer method. Never had a problem, later used letter, until others destroyed that method, so made 2 transfers opened a new account with the 800k. So unless you don't obtain a 1 year visa in your home nation, you can use that method. I'm not talking about a border bounce visa, the full that includes medical and police background checks along with bank statements there in home nation. That takes a few months to do.
