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.

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.
