  1. Although off topic from your original post, I question your assumption that "nothing is assessable." Presuming (as you later stated in another post) that you transfer funds from the US to Thailand, presuming you are a "tax resident" here (meaning you live here 180+ days a year), and presuming Thai authorities figure out a way to actually verify the amount of incoming funds and how to enforce their so-called new tax law, it may very well be that we foreigners may be taxed on all incoming funds unless we can prove that we are entirely or partially saved by various rules (general exemptions under Thai tax law, prohibitions provided by a given tax treaty, and/or an offset for taxes paid in our home countries).
  2. Just checked the online appointment calendar and: (1) Seems there is one slot open at this very moment on April 15th and several on May 14th (which is 90th day out). (2) Every time I've checked since they brought back the appointment system (in last 2 years?), the maximum time out has been 90 days (under the prior system, you could make an appointment much farther out). Looks like either that almost all the available time slots have been spoken for or perhaps there's currently a glitch in the system.
  3. Chiang Khan district in northern Loei province? (if so, not sure why you're asking in the Chiangmai section).
  4. Still available at CNX providing you're leaving via the international side.
  5. Not sure about need but (1) the US (and current administration) provides no security for Harry and his family, and (2) Harry's spokesman has been quoted in the past as saying that Harry would not ask the US to provide same.
  6. I've used the same forms for 2+ years....I don't think they've changed the forms since this requirement started a few years back. And, here in CM, there's no lovely photograph of the applicant and form. Get and fill out the forms before you see the officer as they typically will send you away to get them. Edit: OP's post is about CM Immigration so adding info about what other offices require maybe only adds confusion. We all know different provinces (and even sometimes different officers within the same office) have different rules/practices.
  7. With respect to CM Immigration, would note the following with respect to Tyler's list above: (1) I have always gotten the bank letter and bankbook update the day before applying for a new annual extension based on retirement. I've understood you can do this up to 7 days before the date of application but I know for sure that the day before has never been a problem. I also have added or subtracted a 100 plus or minus baht from the account then as I've read other immigration offices require that (I have no clue if CM Immigration actually requires this....they never did for years). (2) The 12-month deal has been around in CM for at least a couple of years. Fortunately, I use SCB for the 800k and can get the statement the day before application. (3) Yes, a copy of your current TM30 Receipt of Notification is required (or printout from your condo or whatever that they filed it) is required. (4) This past December, I was required to provide a copy of my original Non-O (in my case, it was a copy of the passport page transferring that information into my newest passport). (5) They didn't require a copy of my latest TM47 Receipt of Notification (although I had it on hand). (6) Not sure about Tyler items 8-10. I lease and only provide a copy of the latest annual lease. (7) Also, for at least the last couple of years, required to provide filled out completed penalty forms (one is titled "Acknowledgment of Terms and Conditions for Permit of Temporary Stay in the Kingdom of Thailand" and the other is titled "The Acknowledgment of Penalties for a Visa Overstay."). I print the ones I have on my computer but those forms are available outside near where they pre-check documents.
  8. Sorry. Yes, at Central Festival there's a sign in the office which says re-entry permits must be applied for before a certain time (I believe it was 11AM or at least it was this past December). I'm not aware of a time limitation for re-entry permits at the main office.
  9. What is it that you're asking? Hours the two offices are open?
  10. That's the only "change" I see, a change so minor that it's hard to believe any IO would reject use of the so-called "old" one. I submitted (in Chiangmai) an older TM7 (one that is editable and I filled out on my computer) 2 months ago and there was no problem with using that form (one with the three lines below the reasons for extension). Several years back, they made a change to the form (adding only the handicap language on the back of the form) and afterwards required one to use that "new" form.
  11. If by chance you have a Samsung phone, go to Settings, then hit SIM manager, and if you have a Add eSIM option, you're all set. I would guess other phones have something similar.
  12. Presuming your phone is esim capable, just leave your current physical Thai sim in place. Purchase an esim and load it on your phone through settings (esim sellers provide instructions that are easy to follow). When I return to Thailand, I just go to settings, delete the esim, and switch the phone back to my physical Thai sim. It's actually rather easy.
  13. Not in my case. Had both colonoscopy and endoscopy 2 weeks ago today at CM RAM and the total fee (including removing and pathology report on a bunch of polyps) was 38,000 baht. I have no complaints.
  14. Based on your dates (passport expires Jan 25, 2025, and your extension renewal/expiration date is March 1st), there's no doubt the extension you will get this month will only run until the date of expiration of your current passport....so effectively the only "loss" is you'll lose about 35 days (January 25 - March 1st) in the extension you'll get next week. After the new extension, get a new passport, get the stamps transferred, and be prepared to have a new annual extension expiration date of January 25th for future years. Minor problem in my view. In future years, would recommend that you obtain your annual extensions 30 days (can do it 45 days here in CM) in advance of extension expiration dates as it won't cause you any loss of extension time and will allow a bit more time to solve any issues that might crop up.
