Maybe you should speak to your local Thai Tax office for some clarity.

He can extend each 90 day entry for a further 60 days at Immigration. 327-2557 (2014) - Criteria for extension ENG.pdf Section 2.24

You can apply for a 60 day extension to visit Thai spouse on each 90 day entry = 150 days. Used to its potential, you can stay in Thailand for almost 17 months with 3 border runs and 3 x 60 day extensions, before obtaining a new visa. A guide to how the Non Imm O ME visa works. How- Non Imm O ME Visa. (Thai family-Wife).odt

What reason did she state on her application for the TV?

Understand you cannot extend a visa, you extend your permit of stay. The Non O visa expires, but your status remains as a Non Immigrant. You must have Non Imm status in order to apply for 1 year permits of stay. The problem with that plan is you'd be entering as a Tourist and that would be your Immigration status. You'd basically have to start over again by obtaining a Non O, in order to resume applying for 1 year extensions of stay again. Depending on the number of VE entries within a given period, you may also be questioned about repeat VE entries. No idea how you arrived at that figure. Personally, on return to Thailand on 9th May, I'd immediately apply to extend your stay again and purchase a multi entry permit at the same time. You keep your Non Imm status and can exit, re-enter as many times as you like for the forthcoming year. Extension is 1,900 BHT, ME permit 3,800 BHT = 5,700 BHT, and piece of mind.

Has anyone knocked on your door telling you to register for tax liabilities - thought not!

Yep, a re-entry permit only protects your current permission of stay expiry date. Lesson learned. Just another golden nugget of information for future reference. An extension cannot be dated beyond the expiry date of your passport.

Depends on if she wants to buy momentous of the trip and gifts for the family. £25 a day minimum.

Personally, I'd request a 3-month statement as proof the funds have been in the account for at least a minimum of 2 months.

That's because Immigration have nothing to do with the external affairs of the Thai Embassies overseas. Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs are responsible for the Thai Embassies/Consulates. Thai Immigration rules are applicable within Thailand. The Thai Embassy applies the rules and requirements to obtain visas.

https://www.duensingkippen.com/thailandpropertylawblog/?p=97 Only non-Thais who meet one or more of the following conditions are entitled to receive a freehold title to a condominium unit in Thailand, regardless of how they received the unit: 1) Any non-Thai permitted to permanently reside in the Kingdom under the Immigration Act; I am not a Thai resident in the sense of the word, but having a 1-year extension of stay, I am permitted to permanently reside in Thailand, albeit one year at a time under the Immigration Act. Regardless of the situation, there always remains the option to register the Condo in a Thai name and protect your right to remain there with a usufruct or similar.

I really do wonder who is actually responsible for posting and checking information on Thai Embassy websites. Proof of adequate finances, yes, but rarely ever requested. Onward travel by air, train, bus or boat, brings me back to my original question if refused entry, how would you be able to travel onward anywhere other than from the airport of arrival.

I'm not convinced it's a Thai Immigration requirement to have onward travel, though. In all the years I've come to Thailand previously, it's the airline that have checked the travel itinerary. I've only ever handed my Passport to Immigration on entry and never been requested anything else.

Can you provide an Immigration link, confirming that as fact? Interesting article from the IATA. https://www.iata.org/en/publications/newsletters/iata-knowledge-hub/understanding-inads-inadmissible-passengers-and-their-impact-on-travel/ Countries Prone to INADs While the severity varies, the United States, Mexico, Germany, and the United Kingdom are commonly cited by airlines as countries where INADs are most prevalent. Although INADs represent less than 1% of transported passengers, they have a substantial financial impact on airlines. Penalties imposed by most countries range from $1,000 to $2,500 per case, with some nations imposing even stricter fines, amounting to $10,000 per violation. While the extent of these fines varies among airlines based on their passenger volume and destinations, some major carriers face fines of up to $2 million annually.

That is also the experiences of a friend who regularly enters VE and can obtain 30/60 day extensions. Provided you have a return ticket, at least certain airlines don't request a 30-day outbound ticket.

You're not held for 30 days, or until the date of any prebooked flight. You have the option to arrange the next available flight out to a different destination, or the airline you arrived with will simply amend the return flight date for the next available return flight.

Well, I've been a member for 12 years, so read a lot of reports. Google is your friend, try 'what happens if you get denied entry to Thailand' for some answers. https://www.legal.co.th/resources/visa-immigration-law/thailand-immigration-law/what-happens-if-i-am-denied-admission-thailand/

That puzzles me as a lot of expats use Wise to transfer overseas funds as proof.

https://thaiconsulatela.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visa-information Read the information.

Why 60 days? If you have the 400K in a Thai bank, why not apply for the 1-year extension instead.

I thought you were going to say he stamped the 'post-it note', which wouldn't have surprised me.

Indeed, you did, the problem being that price is merely for the drill, without any batteries or charger, and you really require those as well. I only posted the Bosch as an example of a professional battery drill. For 35+ years, I worked as a self-employed contractor on new build housing estates, where only battery tools were permitted. I also worked carrying out repairs on elderly and disabled folks on behalf of a local charitable organisation, and in-between purchased properties in need of gutting and renovation, after which I sold them and moved onto the next. During this time, I tried all makes, Bosch, Makita, DeWalt, which were top brand names, but sadly never lived up to expectations or the price paid. Returning yet again for the second time in 12 months a faulty DeWalt combi drill, my local supplier recommended Hitachi. I've sworn by them since. The 18v 3A combi drill and the 18v 4A SDS drills I brought over from the UK had been used almost daily for 10 years previously without a hiccup. In the 10+ years in Thailand I've built an extension on my wife's home, and we've just completed renovating an old rural village house, using the same drills, now 20 years old. One battery, out of 4, is now not fully charging, but still usable. I paid £250 and £400 respectively all those years ago and consider them worth every penny. My regret is that I couldn't bring all my Hitachi tools to Thailand.

Try searching for similar in Thailand.

Look again, it was £££££££'s as in English pounds. Equivalent to 32,000 BHT thereabouts.
