Source and verification
This page uses official public guidance from Immigration Bureau of Thailand. Some biometric values remain generalized where the public source does not publish every numeric detail.
Official Thai Immigration public-handbook guidance was verified on 2026-04-13. The Immigration Bureau handbook material lists TM.7 extension and residence-related routes with a 4 × 6 cm photograph, commonly not older than 6 months. The public source confirms the official immigration photo format, but because the page is a broad public-service handbook rather than a single residence-card matrix, this profile remains official-general.
