Thai immigration want your boarding card for two reasons. Since they suspended the TM6 landing card they want to record the flight you arrived on and the second reason is a throwback to Covid when they needed to know where you sat if anybody developed Covid. Nobody has ever been jailed due to suspicion so stop posting BS. Advance passenger information is collected by airlines and shared with government security agencies to stop people travelling who have been banned from do so. Currently this information is NOT shared with immigration

Absolute rubbish 😃 Immigration only ask for a return ticket if you are selected for secondary screening. It's the airlines that mostly ask. Total BS. There is no way your airline or immigration would know if you used an onward ticket

Last May I obtained a non O based visiting Thai relatives ( there no option for marriage) the financial section says upload bank statement with min £10,000 but this is a typo and you only need £1000. I can't remember if it was one month or 3. The pdf would not upload so I did a screen shot in jpeg and this uploaded straight away. The financial requirements of 40,000 a month or 400,000 is only a requirement for your 12 month extension based on marriage.

It's your airline that may make a fuss - immigration rarely ask. You can buy a temporary ticket for about $14 if the airline deny you boarding. The ticket lasts about 48 hours. onwardticket.com

I got my original licence with only a visa-exempt stamp but covid meant I was away too long and it ran out. When I returned with a Non O they told me I cannot renew my licence as it was more than a year out of date and I cannot get a new licence until I get my first extension.

Bkk Bank. They told me I would have to get a Yellow book, a work permit or a letter from my embassy. I have a DL and a certificate of residency from immigration and they still said no.

@Nongnuch *******

Correct. My local DLT would not issue a licence for me until I had been granted my first one year extension.

I was about to do the same but the bank will not let me open another account

any overstay is a big problem

That is the best and most likely answer :D
