What are the requirements for hand-drawn maps when applying for a one-year visa extension based on marriage to a Thai?

Stephan ***********

I used to pause from Google maps, the copy paper here is thin enough for that. But a friend of mine used this (see picture) one at Phuket... was also good enough for many years. Last year they finally changed from "hand drawn" to a print out from Google maps with coordinates.

Anonymer Teilnehmer 452 Every "Alien" staying more than 90 consecutive days in Thailand has to report their address every 90 days, doesn't matter which kind of visa one hold. The only exemptiopn is the LTR, they must report just anually.

You are (almost) right... but nevertheless... it's still part of the rules if you want to stay here longer.

What are the requirements and process for extending a Thai Private Motorcycle Driving Licence?

Stephan ***********

1) see link

2) you can go (in person) to any DLT office, so... not possible from abroad

3) you can apply from 3 months before the license expire, if you are up to one year late there is no difference in paperwork or required tests to a normal renewal

Does the bank balance for my Thai retirement extension need to come from an international transfer or can it be from another Thai account?

Stephan ***********

@Ellie ******

I changed from extension based on O/A to a new O in country and used the old / local money... was no problem in Phuket... no need to transfer new money in the account.

Does the bank balance for my Thai retirement extension need to come from an international transfer or can it be from another Thai account?

Stephan ***********

I use my money for many years now in every "season" and fill it up later from another (local) account... never had any problems with that. Btw... it's just 2 months before application, but 3 months after the extension is issued.

What should I expect when entering Thailand on a DTV visa?

@Andi **********

The latest "fetish" in the DTV-Community... lamination. Just a printout (even a downsized one) isn't good enough anymore... it has to be laminated to be successful... 😁
