Yes. I agree. Just making sure I have done what I need to do before my first one year extension.

Lots of TM 30 questions but different circumstances. I wanted something within the last two years as well

Getting a medical certificate in the USA was very easy for me. Just download and print the form. I brought mine to the doctors office and just left it for him to sign. I picked it up a couple of days later. I never saw the doctor. Once you see the form you will understand why a doctor would just sign it without an exam. I used mine to get my visa in LA

Thanks. Just what I need for November.

I thought the criminal record thing was weird too but it turns out to be very easy. I requested the report at a UPS store. It may take a couple of weeks to get the results. They are mailed to your residence and that is what you submit for the visa.

Right now I am just transferring my monthly pension income. If I was to transfer a large amount to say, buy a condo, then I would have to look more closely into the intricacies of foreign currency transfer fees.

OK. I've not heard of multi-currency accounts. My bad. I just transfer transfer money from the US monthly and pay the $35. I supposed at this point I could transfer larger amounts less frequently.

If you deposited it a Thai bank isn’t it automatically Thai baht?

The last time I went it was 45 minutes. The lesson learned is don’t go on a Monday. I did my Thai language homework with the time.

Oh yes. I will have the notarized affidavit too. I always over prepared. I only want one trip to the immigration office. I was there over 3 hours last week for a 90 day checkin.
