My husband is currently back home in the UK. He’s applying for and will receive a new passport.

He’s on a non-O “Thai wife” visa and has a valid multiple reentry permit.

Can someone help to guide what the steps might be upon entering Thailand with said new passport - any additional forms to fill at immigration or prior to arrival in Thailand?

Advise about transferring his visa over once in Thailand would also be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Third retirement extension and multiple reentry permit at Nonthaburi immigration. In and out in 75 minutes;

1. This immigration office allows you to book 45 days in advance of your stamp expiration.

2. Definitely helps booking appointment in advance and booking first appointment for 8.30. Bring a print out of the appointment booking.

3. Need 2 printouts of relevant passport pages. One for retirement extension and one for reentry permit.

4. For first time, they wanted signed photocopies of previous 12 months bank book transactions.

Very efficient and friendly immigration office 👍.

Planning first trip to Nong Kai then across the land border to Laos. I'm on Non O.

(1) If I want a multiple reentry permit, can I get it at the border checkpoint itself ( I have seen one report here - yes for single reentry permit - my question is about multiple reentry permit ). Or should I get it at the Nong Khai immigration office? Or in your experience better to get it locally like BKK?

(2) Not Thai Visa related but... best way to get Lao visa - eVisa (pls recommend website) or just walk up with required documentation at border is smarter?

Much appreciate answers to either question and thank you...

I plan to apply for the retirement visa in April. I have a general idea of the process and think I can work out the details. One thing I'm not sure about: I want to be able to go back and forth to my home country (USA) as needed/wanted. With the retirement visa, are there any restrictions on how often I can leave and re-enter Thailand?

I applied for a 90-day Visa. And I just applied for a one-year retirement Visa. Very easy to do. The immigration office was great to work with in khon kaen Thailand
