@Tod ********

. What documents should I bring for walk in TM 30 at Phetchabun immigration?

I had no problems at BKK airport last week with brand new passport and the Non O . Extension and re entry permit in the old passport

@James *******

Will the departure ticket dated after Dec 23 the expiry date on the extension make and difference as I intend to renew or should I buy a cheap one to Cambodia or somewhere before 23 Dec. Will be staying 5 days in Pattaya before headed to our house in Phetchabun. May either move the visa to the new passport at Pattaya immigration or go to Phetchabun immigration and do it and file TM 30 at the same time

Ashley Malaichaisong Depends where u are at . I tried to open an a account at Kasikorn in Wichianburi. Wife already had one there . They wanted a yellow book I had a O visa with 1 year extension . Eventually got that . Then they wanted immigration letter. Still have my original SCB account in Pattaya. But had it for 15 years ,only needed a passport then .eventually ran out of time and didn't fancy driving 90k to Phetchabun immigration. Will try again this time round

@Robert ******

Ok thanks again

@Robert ******

One last question. Usually my wife picks me up at the airport and we spend a few days in Pattaya visiting friends before heading to the house in Phetchabun. Can the visa be moved to the new passport at Pattaya immigration? This is where the extension wa,s issued Then do the renewal at our home immigration in Phetchabun in Dec same province as the TM 30 will filed

@Robert ******

Ok that's a lot better plus will simplify the business of the TM 30 when I get to the house and not knowing the details of the new passport. In fact I would have no passport for 18 days or so . Thanks for your help. Answered a lot of my questions

@Robert ******

So arrival in Bkk with a new passport but the extension in the old invalidated one isn't a problem?

@Robert ******

Ok . That's the bit I misunderstood

I thought it could not drop below 400 k anytime after 1 March 2019 and my expiry in Dec . Thanks for clearing that up . What's your opinion on the new passport. BKK after I arrive or US before ?

@Robert ******

.Ok so being below 400k during the existing one wont affect the new one ? Also Tod recommended I renew my passport in BKk as soon as arrive ,then as soon as I get it move the Visa over ,then when the renewal is due ,it will be going on a brand new passport not one with 6 month left . Getting the new passport in the US beforehand and I'm up against the 2 passports at immigration on arrival. Renewal in BKK was my original plan but . I assumed the dip below 400k changed everything
