  1. If you get an extension in a passport expiring within 12 months the extension date will match the passport expiry date. If you then subsequently obtain a new passport and take both into immigration they will indeed transfer the stamps, but the expiry date will remain the same, they are not going to make up the time missing from the original extension.
  2. No. Doing it that way you will first have to apply to convert to a non-O and then later apply for the extension.
  3. You don't want a non-OA and can't get one in Thailand even if you did. You will have no problem returning after a few months. A single non-O is easy to get in the UK, then you'll have a couple of months to get your paperwork straight ready for extension. Or enter exempt or tourist and convert - but the ease of an online application in the UK versus an additional trip to immigration ought to be the decider.
  4. You must leave the country, no need to stay out long (hours) but it cannot be done at immigration.
  5. O-A? That has to be applied for in the UK and is probably the least preferred option (needs police report/medical report/insurance). Perhaps you mean you intend to get a non-O and then an annual extension in Thailand? Or you can enter visa exempt/tourist and then convert to non-O and then extend. Do you already have the 800k in a Thai bank? I applied for a non-O in the UK the same day I returned from an extended tourist visa, non-O granted within 5 days.
  6. But you'd have to pretend to live in the UK..... "Anyone insured on this policy must live in the United Kingdom (UK) and be under 76 years old at the time you begin each holiday."
  7. Weird story. What was there first, the pole or the pipe?
  8. The basic account for day to day use is a "Savings Account". This offers very low interest but deposits and withdrawals can be made without limitation. Alongside this account you can open a "Fixed Deposit Account" which offers a higher interest rate based on keeping the principal amount in place for the agreed period. Withdrawals can be made but interest will then be reduced to the very low Savings Account rate. The 800k you move in should go into whichever account you are going to show at immigration in order that it is clearly seen as a foreign transaction. They main thing for immigration is that the funds are immediately available to you. To open an account you should be OK with your non-O visa. I was also recently asked for a copy of my apartment rental contract in order to open a new account. Your experience will vary depending on many things; bank, branch, staff member, phase of moon, etc. The main banks websites are pretty clear and give all the information needed about their products.
  9. Only works with your own banks ATM's, which is specifically not what the OP asked about.
  10. I had a very similar travel pattern in the last year or so, albeit my bounce was 5 days in Laos by land, but nevertheless no issues or questions and no problems with my next visa application.
  11. With trips, food and accommodation covered that really only needs optional shopping for herself and gifts. £30-50/day would be more than adequate. More importantly for a 16 year old will be to make sure she has a roaming data package on her phone!
  12. So you'll presumably be getting your next extension before you go on your trip? Get a new re-entry permit at the same time, that'll be valid a year so will make up for your disappointment this time around. What is the warning?
  13. I had this email last year, but it was more to do with confirming a UK address than about transfer of funds.
  14. Will attempt my first ever retirement extension in a few weeks time, currently in on a non-O. Afternoon appointment at CW confirmed already. I'm OK with the paperwork requirement I think, the only question I have is about the bank documents. The 800k has been there for over 2 months already, so if I go to Kasikorn downstairs on the morning of the appointment I need the standard letter and a statement - 2 months or will they ask for more? And will the bank easily produce these there and then - or will it take some hours? And finally, the update of the account passbook (small deposit) on the day - should that be done before or after requesting the bank documents? Any other potential hoops through which to jump?
  15. According to the website that have a photo booth for this - THB 250 (https://pt.tlscontact.com/th/bkk/page.php?pid=added_value_services)
  16. Can book the hotel in question in Pattaya from 12-16 April for 2500/night direct from the hotel website.. Phew, that's lucky, must be the last room.
  17. It's on Lazada at THB 5,490.00 and says will go down to THB 4,999.00 in about 8 hours time.
  18. I think you'll have no problems as it's data roaming, including China, that is the main point of these SIMs. And I've certainly used AIS in China with no issues and used Google maps for getting around.
  19. No. Visa Exempt. See https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/vietnam/entry-requirements Visa requirements If you plan to stay in Vietnam for 45 days or fewer, you do not need a visa for: tourism transit business travel – but not paid or voluntary work You must have a visa for longer stays or if you’re entering Vietnam for other reasons.
  20. There is often a hole in which you poke the key in order to take off P and put in N.
  21. In case nobody did this recently, did you already check the Embassy website? Quite good information and not too old (2022). https://phnompenh.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/non-immigrant-o-visa-thai-family?page=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a1&menu=5d73b14415e39c46f40076a2 Visa application times Open Monday to Friday, except Embassy holidays. 09:00–11:00 AM document submission (no appointment required) 03:00–04:00 PM visa collection Visa processing times (NOT including day of submission)* 3 working days (NOT include the Day of Submission) for Tourist visas, Non-Immigrant Labour visas for Cambodian migrant workers (for example, if you apply on Monday, you can pick up your passport on Thursday) 5 working days (NOT include the Day of Submission) for other Non-Immigrant visas (for example, if you apply on Monday, you can pick up your passport on the next Monday)
