Can I enter Thailand using a different passport while holding a non-O visa in another passport?

Richard *******

I have had two full british passports for over 25 years now . Britain is one of the few that actually issues FULL second passports that are valid for 10 years. Many countries allow second passports but limit them to 1 or 2 years.

How does immigration verify marriage for visa extensions in Thailand?

Richard *******

In my case they visited my house, while at the same time checking my neighbour's burmese maid. Simple 5 minutes, no problem, since then i have switched to retirement based on monthly pension as it is much easier.

Richard *******

Samut Prakan did use all three, but the only one that was available on the website is a broken link now. I don't think their website is being maintained 100% anymore. Last time I applied a couple of weeks ago, I had them all but they made me fill in the overstay again by hand (I had it printed on PDF).

What should I do if my affidavit of income from the British embassy is delayed and my visa extension is expiring soon?

Richard *******

They do say on their website that don't even call until 10 Working days have passed. 10 working days would be the 22nd. I had the same problem. They have a lot more people doing this now, first 3-4 times I did it, it took only 4-5 days. Now I always do it early enough, it is good for 3 months at immigration.

What are the new documentation requirements for retirement and marriage extensions at Chaengwattana Immigration Office?

Richard *******

@Jennifer ********

I think you mean 're-entry permit' !! If you have a retirement extension, you do not need a visa.

Just did my one year extension again today at Samut Prakan, no map needed, although they did make me fill in the forms again by hand rather than the ones I had already printed out in PDF with the replies done. They claimed the forms had changed, but I really could not see any difference.
