Almost.

Banked money for a 1-year extension for being over 50.

800K baht must be in your account for three months AFTER a new one-year extension application.

Keep it no lower than 400K baht through the rest of the year.

Then again You need to have 800K baht in your account for two months when applying for a new 1-year extension.

, you can apply for an actual visa only through eVisa system. Not with an appointment for in-person application anymore

On the other hand, if you are on an extension for studying (just ED, NOT ED-plus), you need to leave Thailand once to enter on Non-B or as a tourist to proceed. Check your current stamp, and talk with your uni and new employer

, That sounds strange. You might get some other reasons. There are a lot of people in Bangkok who get a 60-day visit Thai family extension, then a Thai spouse extension and they are rather standard than exceptional. Those were already on entry on a Non-O visa marriage to a Thai or extension for the same reason, though.

@Shai *******

, read the shared post. yes you need to do it.

"Completion of the TDAC will be mandatory for all foreign passport holders, including tourists, business travellers, and long-term residents. Exceptions apply only to travellers transiting or transferring through Thailand without passing through immigration control and to those entering using a Border Pass."

@Peter ******

, yes, if you want to get a full-year extension on your next application. Please talk to your local office to be sure.

@Peter ******

, you better talk with your local immigration office in advance. I believe you need an entry stamp on your passport that is used for an extension since your new passport was obtained outside Thailand. Basically, you cannot change foreign valid passports inside Thailand.

In that case, you have to get a new extension on your old (and "current" in Thailand) passport, which means your next extension is until the passport validity, 01 February 2026 instead of August 2026.

Or you leave and enter Thailand again on your new passport, at least one of the ways by air to switch passports.

, it's more like a hit-or-miss situation in Bangkok if you are asked for TM.30 for a tourism extension.

@Sam ****

, yes, that's correct

@Sam ****

, as long as you meet the requirements for Non-OA, ie insurance. As mentioned, you might need a new insurance policy.

A valid Non-OA gives you an earlier date of 365 days or insurance validity upon entry. This is the same you enter on the first day or last day of Non-OA. You need insurance covers for the length you want to be stamped in.
