How does immigration verify marriage for visa extensions in Thailand?

Tom *****

I assume visits are dependent on your office as I got a personal visit from immigration 1 month after I got my initial non imm O based on being over 50, not a marriage one.

How many Immigration jurisdictions in Thailand enforce the 24-hour reporting rule after re-entry?

Tom *****

Kanchanaburi also requires a report within 24 hours of arriving in Thailand,but don't seem interested in domestic travels. I just take a pre-signed TM30 with me and on my return, date and sign it, and as I pass the immigration office on my way home from one of the Bangkok airports, just drop in with it.

Do I need to have my retirement visa income in a Thai bank or can I use UK bank statements?

Tom *****

Thanks both, I was just enquiring for the future, I am already on a 1 year extension of my non imm O based on being over 50 but the O-A may be an option in a few years time. I will renew 1 more time in November then consider my options.

Thanks guys, worth considering in 2 years time for me, although having to go 'home' has to be the downside for me!

What's the advantage of an O-A over a yearly extension of stay based on being over 50

? Apart from the cost of going home to get it, would I not have to leave Thailand every 90 days and re-enter, whereas now I just have to report every 90 days? Cheaper and less hassle.

Tom *****

I have heard the UK Embassy can be sticky on providing an income statement and won't do so unless you are officially claiming your UK state pension, so you would have to be over 65. Is this correct or would they issue one anyway as long as you had over 65k income? If so this just leaves the 800k in the bank option.
