Hopefully I have a ways to go, but in the event of my passing in Thailand, what steps does the Thai Mrs. have to take to have my body cremated in Thailand and obtain a death certificate to be translated and certified for use in obtaining my superannuation funds in Australia? If I do not have a formal will, can she have my body cremated here? I do not want my body sent back to Oz.

Highly recommend Mythaivisa. Deal with Som. PM me for any details.

I applied for a one year extension marriage on 21st July, under consideration till August 20th. 5 days too early it seems to take advantage of the Amnesty extension. I should've waited.

This may confuse you further as it appears to suggest 275 days after the expiry of your current 90 day permission.
I hope you come back and advise what date they start from.....I am intrigued now.

My 90 day permission expired April 16th, applied for extension under Amnesty.

This extract from the Immigration Bureau notice suggests otherwise. It will be interesting to see if johnny1966’s application will be treated differently as he applied before this notification.
I interpret it as being for applications made from "now", not 5 days ago?

Your post suggests that this is your first ‘extension’. I would imagine that it will run from the approval date on the basis that the marriage extension supersedes the amnesty that applied to your non O visa.Yes. It is my first extension. Did it 5 days too early it seems. So my 1 year starts from July 21st or August 20th?
-
So my non o marriage extension applied for on 21st July and under consideration till 20th August will be, if approved, effective from 20th August or 27th September?

Wonder if this will lead to a crack down on agents and their customers. Somehow I think not.

OP, bumping this as you have not received definitive reply. What you need is a recent report.
I started flying with my Oz drivers license for domestic travel. All good.
Then some time ago the clerk at entry to departure lounge wanted my pp.
Maybe just inexperienced clerk.
Cheers Doc. I rang nokair, they told me wp ok, Thai smile no, cannot contact AirAsia as it has that automated thingy which makes it almost impossible to get an answer.

Is it easier to carry a wp than a passport? What's the problem?
Problem? Have you read the OP?

Depending on which immigration office you go to, yes or no.
Don't do anything too soon as the announcement coming next week may change the answer.
Thanks. How so?

Non o multi last stamp to 14th April 2020, visa expiry date June 25th 2020. Will immigration accept a one year extension application prior to July 31st given that my visa has expired? If not is a 60 day extension an option?

I've used a work permit to board flights on Air Asia before (Don Mueang to/from Khon Kaen). Granted, this was in 2017 and I had two Thai DLs (one car, one motorcycle) as backup.
In theory, it should be allowed as your WP is official, Thai govt. ID and proof of identity. That being said, I'd highly recommend you have a Thai DL or some other Thai govt. issued photo ID as backup.
Cheers. I don't have a DL or other photo id so guess I'll try it with the WP and see what happens.

Do you have photo id. Something like drivers license Thai or Home country.
The Thai work permit has a photo. Is this not sufficient?

Looking to fly with AirAsia Bangkok to Udon Thani. My passport currently with agent and may not have back in time for flight. Difficult to contact AirAsia these days. Can I use my original work permit and copy passport for the flight? Thanks for any replies.
-
From what I can make of this, I can either do my one year extension based on marriage to a Thai now or wait until the end of September to get a further two months "free". Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Unless the school terminated your employment your work permit and extension of stay is still valid.
Thank you. This is slightly unrelated but would the government in my home country need to be advised of my work permit status in Thailand? I don't know if I'm obligated to inform them. This is the first wp Ive had.

I was issued with a wp teaching in Bangkok last December. Because of covid I lost my teaching hours in March however the school kept my wp running in the case the school was able to reopen in July. I wonder if I would be classified as "unemployed" during that period I have no work and therefore no income but still hold a valid wp? Should the school have cancelled my wp after I lost my teaching hours? Thanks for any replies.

I think they might be the only country that does it. I would not bet on the Australian embassy here doing it.
I think it would depend upon on how much time is or was remaining on the old passport if it worth the effort to do it or not.
Must have at least 2 years remaining on the current passport to be able to get a 32 page replacement. Around 3,800 baht currently. Can be done at the Australian embassy Thailand. In my case my passport pages are full so the fee as above applies. In certain cases a fee is not payable.

If you have not yet presented the new passport to Immigration (or had them move any relevant stamps over) then you'll want to use the old number on the form. The IO can make updates as needed.
Even if the old passport is invalid, i.e it has been 'cut' by my embassy which is done when they issue a new passport? Present both passports to IO?
-
My landlord has completed a change of address form. On the 2nd page it lists my details, passport number etc. I have just replaced my passport so the passport number I assume will be different. Can I just cross out the old passport number on the form and write in the new number or should I rewrite the form again with the new number and get him to sign again?
-
Applying for an Australian replacement passport which will have the same expiry date as my current passport, not a renewal passport which would have a new 10 year validity. Does anyone know if the replacement passport number will be the same as the passport it is replacing? I know with a renewal passport it's a new number but I don't know about a replacement passport.

Indeed, there will be NO overstay-penalties when your current permission to stay expires during the Amnesty period because ALL permissions to stay are automatically extended till 31 July.
However, what is not so sure is whether IO will allow you to apply for your 1-year extension of stay when you did not apply before the normal due date of your permission to stay. And in that case you would be forced to exit the country once the Amnesty is over and apply again from scratch.
Hence the recommendation to do your 1-year extension of stay before the due date.
And in case you do not meet the requirements yet, you could as an intermediate step apply for the 60-day extension of stay to ensure an unbroken chain of extensions.
That's the great unknown. I have been advised however by a very well-known moderator here that a 60 day extension should be allowed just before or when the Amnesty ends even if one's actual permission to stay expired after the end of March and is therefore on the automatic covid extension.

Steps required after farang death in Thailand.

Good point. I assume my sister's Australian bank account would be sufficient given she is the beneficiary. She will then send to my Mrs in Thailand as per my wishes.
