What should expats on COVID visa extensions do when their stamp runs out?

Jack ******

On Wednesday Immigration at BKK told my wife she needs to get a visa next time. They did give her 30 days stamp.

What are the options for extending a retirement visa in Thailand given a complicated financial situation?

Jack ******

Not that complicated. Go apply for new 90 day extension based on retirement. After 60 days go apply for 1 year extension based on retirement. Don't use an agent - the Thai Immigration fees are cheap.

I never read these posts that use huge fonts and require you read another page. But the first page on this one is pretty good all by itself. 😄

When you get to the insurance part of the Thailand Pass application they offer to sell you some. I just selected that.

Jack ******

I'll renew it in November, 30 days before it expires. I can stay in Thailand without 'visa runs' to the border. Address reporting is required every 90 days.

I had the same situation in February. NonO retirement extension issued in Thailand, with re-entry permit. Upon re-entering I needed 30 days insurance, no onward ticket. They stamped me in until the extension expires in Decemer.

Can a US taxpayer claim a Thai spouse as a dependent for tax purposes?

Jack ******

@Terary *********

She has never been to the US. No legal status. For the TIN I think proof of irth and marriage was all I needed. Better check the IRS website to be sure.

All I had to do was get her a TIN. When I filed my tax return I included the TIN application, supporting documents, and claimed her exemption on my tax form. They sent her a TIN and allowed the exemption on my taxes.
