It's no longer based on per calendar year, Immigration will look at your previous history regardless of the year. If your maxing out your time on VE entries, then you can only enter twice, 60 days + 30 day extension, 2nd entry 60 days + 7 day extension = 157 days. For shorter stays, you can enter more than twice. Work on the basis of 150 days per year before being questioned or refused entry.

On the contrary, if you have no lease, or end date on a lease, then until such time as you file a new TM30 it should be assumed you are still residing at the reported address.

Copy and paste of the New TM30 reporting regulations dated June 5th 2020. Regulation of Royal Thai Police on notification of a householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager, who takes in, as a resident, an alien permitted to temporary stay in the Kingdom.

By virtue of Section 38, Paragraph 3 of the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (A.D. 1979) the Commissioner General of Royal Thai Police herby issues the regulation prescribing notification of a householder, owner or possessor of dwelling place or hotel manager, who takes in, as a resident, an alien permitted to temporary stay in the Kingdom as follows: 1.

Issued on June5, 2020 Police General Chakthip Chaijinda Commissioner General of Royal Thai Police ................................................................................................. You need to confirm whether your Immigration office follow this regulation or not.

Would you really want to counter bid knowing what you now know. A fool and his money are soon parted but you just dodged a bullet ........... smile!

You can only do one 60 day extension per period of continuous stay in the Country.

https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/1.FOR-WORKING-IN-A-COMPANY-OR-LIMITED-PARTNERSHIP-NON-B.pdf Certain Immigration offices prefer not to process this type of change of visa and will advise you to apply for the Non B outside the Country, which is probably less hassle anyway.

UK state pensions are paid by Citibank through Bank of Thailand using their Bahtnet system to your Thai bank account. These are coded are Bahtnet transfers. https://www.bot.or.th/en/our-roles/payment-systems/Payment-systems.html

Yes, it's possible, but the child must live with you, not the Mother, which is a point @DrJack54 was implying.

Airport should always be from the one you arrive at. An outward ticket from anywhere else would be useless if denied entry.

Onward flight is required by the Embassies to issue an SETV. Travel booking confirmation - Flight details showing applicant’s name, departure date, all flights en route from UK/Ireland/UK territories to Thailand and onward ticket to another destination. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/tourist-single-entry-visa Airlines also often request proof of onward ticket when entering as a Tourist.

Same as above ........... OP stated his income from online working is paid directly to his Wise account, the reason being pretty obvious.

And you transfer funds from where into your Wise account ............ an overseas bank, hence the proof of an overseas transfer. OP stated his income from working online is being remitted direct to his Wise account, so no overseas bank involved.

WISE is not a bank, but a regulated financial technology company (Money Service Business) Transfers just from a Wise account to a Thai bank account would not be deemed International transfers.

You need a copy of the biodata page of the foreigners passport. Copy of the address page in the Blue book. Copy of Chanote. The Chanute should list the address as in the Blue book, and the owners name as on his passport biodatapage.

Do you own or rent the Condo? If rented is the owner Thai or a foreigner?

My preference would be a flight to Phnom Penh or Siam Reap in Cambodia. Cheapest and quickest.

That entirely depends on where you intend to stay in Thailand, which you haven't stated.

Retirement extensions based on funds only require 2 months previous evidence of 800K, with the promise to maintain 800k for the following 3 months, and 400K for the following 7 months, whereas retirement extensions using income are based on the previous 12 month period. If you use the 800K funds method this extension, you'd need to start the 65K transfers immediately to qualify for the income method next year. When switching from funds to income method, the first time you'd also have t provide two sets of bank documents as evidence you complied with the extension based on funds from the previous year, and the income method for the current year.

OP indicated his previous 3/4 extensions were based on marriage.

Good job your wife does it all then.

Are you counting from when you submitted the application, as opposed to the 30 day under consideration period which starts from the end of your permission of stay date. Khon Kean is also my regional IO and quite often my applications are approved just after, or even before my current permission of stay expires. I tend to apply 30-45 days in advance.

No reason why you can't switch the reason for the extension from 'Thai family' to 'retirement, provided you can meet the financial requirement of 800K in your Thai bank account for 2 months before submitting the application, 800K for 3 months thereafter, then 400K for 7 months, before topping up to 800K again for the next extension.

The current 60 day VE, may revert back to the 30 day VE. In that case I'd still apply for the Non O visa, then do a border hop for a further 30 day VE entry.

Citibank, which transfers UK state pension through BOT (Bank of Thailand) to your Thai bank. These are coded as 'BAHTNET' transfers.

Your Non O visa is 'used', but your Immigration status remains Non Immigrant, so yes you can apply for the 1 year extension whilst on the 60 day extension.
