If previously married and divorced, I'm not sure if just a divorce certificate is sufficient. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that a "Certificate of No Impediment" is required.

Thanks for the information in your first paragraph of this response. While it hasn't meant changing the way I had thought about my plan in what would be almost an identical scenario to the OP, I wasn't aware of that 2 month 'rule'. Is that 'rule' strictly adhered to across all provinces, or does it vary according to each individual Province, as some other requirements do? I did notice that you said " at any Immigration office".

@Mike *****

apply for a Non-O based on marriage to a Thai in your own country or a neighbouring country of Thailand once you're married because there is a much higher chance of opening a Thai bank account once you have the visa, if not certain.

Great post

@Tod ********

the incorrect terminology obviously bugs you as much as myself & misleads a lot of others

@Curt *******

no, it wasn't an available option earlier, but the Thai government was going to add it for those foreigners living in Thailand. If you've already submitted a form, you can go to the website and use the "update" option and you should find it is available now, as

@Tod ********

mentioned at the end of the original post.

The TDAC doesn't commence until May 1, 2025, so the earliest that you can submit it, is April 28. Earlier today, I watched a YouTube video and in the comments, someone said that there was an "invalid entry" for something they entered. I responded by advising of the date that the TDAC starts, which they somehow missed. You might be able to enter some information early, but you might find some issues and certainly can't submit it until April 28.

@John *****

have you checked out this ATO page? Other than this, I can't be of any help. I just found it when thinking ahead about my future.

@Martin ********

it's not a paper form, so it's not possible to "not have it". From reading the news article the provided link points to (you're welcome to read it yourself), there will be "help points" at airports upon arrival, they're there for "exceptional circumstances only". Reading into that, I don't think forgetting is an 'exceptional circumstance' and, just my thoughts, one 'could' be refused entry. Like everything else with Thailand, it may well be up to the Immigration Officer you're in front of.

@Ben *****

a link was provided to a video and explanation of the new card. Did you click and read? Your answer is there. You will need to complete the online form, for as you said you'll almost certainly get to passport control/immigration just after 12am on May 1. You can't complete the form before it goes live, so yes, on/after April 28. Don't forget it though. While the news article says that there will be "help points" at airports on arrival, for those who haven't completed the form, it's for "exceptional circumstances only", so if someone has just forgotten to do it they may be refused entry.
