In Topic: 3 Visa Pages Left In My Passport

Apply for a new passport at the embassy your first couple of days in Thailand. You need to make an appointment online, but it's a simple process. The new one will be ready for pickup in 2 weeks or less and you keep the old one until it arrives.

This may not apply if we are not the same nationality.

I would also suggest you approach the immigration counter together as a couple (whether married or not). It lets them know immediately that she is traveling with someody. First impressions kind of thing.

I took my wife twice with no hassles.

A sign at the Licensing Office that serves the Pattaya area had a sign that said you could get a one year license with tourist visa. You would not be able to get a 5 year license though but would have to get another one year every year until you had a Non-O.

The sign was there about a year ago and I don't actually know anybody personally that has done it.

No photcopies of anything are required.

They will want to see originals and if they want a copy they will make it.

Yes, you do need to file one if your combined accounts were more than 10,000 USD equivalent at any time during calendar year 2010.


This is from the latest version of the form (Form TD F 90-22.1)
"Who Must File an FBAR. A United States person that has a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts must file an FBAR if the aggregate value of the foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. See General Definitions, to determine who is a United States person."
