What happens if I forget to report my 90-day retirement visa?

@Lisa *******************

it worked for me about 8 years ago and then I traveled to the UK and came back and the next time I tried it it didn't work and it never has done since. When I mentioned it to an immigration office he just shrugged and laughed. The new system is also failing many people. It's hit and miss.

my address is registered with immigration. It always has been, for many years. I've lived here for 25 years.

Tony *********

The ED visa is effectively no more. I just happened to watch an interview today on the Thaiger channel with a lawyer in Bangkok who said they haven't an issued one in Bangkok for a long time. Apparently now you have to get official accreditation from your university in your own country.

How easy is it to switch from a Thai Retirement Visa to a Marriage Visa, and what are the potential downsides?

Tony *********

I have nothing like that in my passport about showing the current balance. Just a slip to do a 90-day report.

@Curt's *****

I've never used it but my guess is that the Wi-Fi won't be very reliable on the train. I'm just thinking about how many people would be sharing that signal. Check out DTAC because they do similar offers if you have a phone then just go to somewhere like 7-Eleven and they can top up your sim card with a data package

on AIS you can get unlimited data for 24 hours at 6 Mbps second for 45 baht. Will that break the bank?
