What should I do if Bangkok Bank requests a passport certification letter from the US Embassy to open my account with a Non-O visa?

Ian **********

That's a good tip but what did you use for proof of address? I can assure you that each branch does not set its own rules but staff training is almost non-existent so each branch will behave differently.

Just keep trying different branches. They have changed so many rules the staff don't understand them. The UK embassy will not legalise documents but I don't know about the US Embassy

Is the 90-day reporting requirement linked to the Retirement Visa renewal in Thailand?

Ian **********

It is set by your entry date not the date your extension is granted.

Is the 90-day reporting requirement linked to the Retirement Visa renewal in Thailand?

Ian **********

If you leave the country using a re-entry permit then your 90 day report resets to 90 days after the date you re-enter. My immigration office always staples a slip in my passport with the next report date and I put that date in my calendar on my phone - simples, but if I've been abroad I work it out for myself.

What documents do I need to apply for an extra 30 days at immigration in Thailand?

Ian **********

@Luit ****************

I never did one for 10 years but then they started clamping down. My local office is quiet so it's easy to do.

Is it possible for an expat to live in a house on a Thai army base and successfully file a TM30?

Ian **********

@Brian ********

The blue book registered holder is the owner of the building and responsible for the TM30. They must report a foreigner staying within 24 hours of arrival. It is possible to do it online like the hotels but most people just go to immigration office.
