If someone is on a 90-day non-o based on marriage.. it makes sense to go to your wife's bank and get her to explain the need.. and perhaps plant the seed that you will eventually be transferring chunks of your overseas wealth into said account.. at the same time enquiring if they have a health insurance policy you might consider when yours is up for renewal.. show them some potential for 'business' in return for their assistance and they may be more helpful.. regardless of your future intentions.. you need to 'play the game' to give them some encouragement 😉

I always do it online.. but it can only be done by creating an account on the tm30 website.. and having a digital copy of the blue book (main page) and Thai ID to upload to the system 👍

@Rob ******

Yes you need a copy of the blue book (main page) and the Thai ID to upload 👍

We bought a car out of province.. the procedure was to attend to the transfer of ownership in the province where we bought it.. ie. the sellers province.. which immediately moves legal ownership into your name.. but since we lived in a neighbouring province they said it was not acceptable (legal) to leave it registered with them.. and they gave us 7-days to get the car re-registered in our own province.. after which we would be fined for non compliance.. when you do this you will have a plate change which will also be reflected in a replacement tax disc.. which means buying a car or bike in another province with a 'very nice' plate is pointless because you won't be allowed to keep it!

This is the thread that confused me.. but now i see it wasn't posted by the OA.. hence my reply.. at least my comment should be useful to him 😉

Which immigration office you use will also have a bearing on matters.. it's best to check directly with them on the question of travelling in the middle of a visa extension process.. when i previously enquired about this in CM i was advised not to travel once I'd applied for my extension.. and to remain in Thailand until after the under consideration period had expired.. and I'd received the full stamp in my passport.. but i realise you'll get a different answer across different offices.. or indeed on different days!

If you don't update your passbook regularly.. then banks such as BB will make a summary entry headed CMB (which stands for 'combined') once the total number of transactions hits a certain limit.. in effect it is a net credit or debit for the period since your book was updated.. and on the surface it looks like you have lost the transaction history it relates to.. problematic if the dates happen to cover a seasoning period either before or after an extension is issued.. but you can go in to the bank can ask them to print the missing transactions that make up that CMB entry.. which you will get in statement format.. however, most banks also allow you to download a statement via your online banking.. so you could simply cover the missing entries that way.. i choose to routinely download my statements on a calendar monthly basis now.. in anticipation that they will be needed at renewal time.. and don't bother getting the CMB breakdown any more.. so probably worth checking out your online banking app to see what's available 👍

A foreigner cannot be included in a blue 'tabbian baan' even if married to a Thai and living in the property it relates to with their spouse.. but they can obtain a yellow one in their own right.. so blue for Thai nationals and Thai family residents.. and yellow for foreigners 😉

If you have a 6-month multiple entry tourist visa issued by the Thai embassy in your home country.. and if you observe the terms and conditions attached to it.. then you are as good as 'guaranteed' entry.. provided you did not obtain said visa falsely (ie. made false declarations) or have a hidden criminal record that gets flagged up at the border.. otherwise it makes a complete mockery of the visa system.. and your history will be taken into account when applying for the visa.. so if you are an 'undesirable' you wouldn't get the visa anyway.. they can't issue a visa and then invalidate it when you try to use it unless they have a very good reason!
