? You are in Berlin without a passport(book) ? No nightmare, the airliner just don't let you fly out of Europe If they do it right. Or you cannot get into another country out of EU. So back to Ireland I guess, sry 🙄

Think you need a real passport (book).

Watch out

@Bonny ******

. The visa you got is a Single entry tourist visa which is valid for 90 days to come into Thailand. Then you can stay 60 days ! (so not 90 days as many people think). So to stay in Thailand for 90 days, you need an extension of stay (30 days) first.

hits the nail on his head. Still sometimes you need your domestic number. Can't you get some kind of pre-paid US Sim with number portation ? Also what Robert Curtis says is a good alternative. Buy a cheap android (or I-phone, if any 🙄) for y'r US Sim card.

Well Robert Curtis, what I read before; When you ask the year extension, for which the money has to be 2 months before and 3 months after your application date has to be in your bank account, there ARE imm. offices who want you to show your bankbook at the first 90 day report. This to check if the money was there for the 3 months after indeed. Maybe that's what the officer meant.

And THAT's the way I like it

, a bad agent too, but you don't need any of them ! 🙄

@Brook *******

. I don't want to work anymore !!!! 😖😜 But it's true what you say 😉

No, if you not extend a 1 year extension (of e.g 5 with the cheapest Thai Elite), then you have the same problem.

Althought I'm Dutch, I think you have to deal with a Thai Embassy/Consulate, which are quite general concerning Visa's. The non imm O visa is the easiest way to go.

Allowed in Thailand for 90 days. After e.g. 60 days you can apply in Thailand at the immigraton Office where you are registered (TM30 form, normally within 24 hours after you arrive at your living place), for a year extension based on marriage. (It's NOT a visa anymore, although many people call this a visa. The visa gets a stamp "USED")

Most important is you have a Thai bank account in your name only, with 400k฿ in it. Because UK is one of the 4 countries where the UK Embassy does not give an income statement, you also can transfer (as international) more than 40k฿ every month for 12 months to that bank account instead of the 400k฿. Not sure if the 400k฿ also have to be in that account for more than 2 months before applying, but I think so. But you have to ask your imm. office for a handout what they need exactly. There always can be some differences between these offices.

Check 2-3 months before you are applying for the Visa in the UK because maybe there are some changes although not likely. One advantage of the year extensions based on a non imm. O visa (instead of non imm O-A) is, that you don't need a Thai health insurance.

Note. Some people prefer the retirement year extension even if married (although 800k฿ in bank or 65k฿(every month 12 times)) because it's less paperwork. AND you get your extension on the spot, so no 1 month waiting for "under consideration" period.

Good luck ! 🙏
