Just to avoid any confusion, what was the issue date on your Non Imm O visa? What date did you last enter Thailand? The validity of a visa and the permission of stay are different and some do confuse the issue, hence I ask the above two questions.

Tod posted that August 2024 prior to HCMC going e-visa applications 30th Sept 2024. Like Savannahket who went e-visa applications 1st Jan 2025, the ME Non O is no longer an option.

As already stated, the validity of a visa and the validity of any permission of stay are different. The validity of the visa is the period in which you can use it to enter Thailand, then on entry the IO grants you a period of stay, which is 60 days on a Tourist visa. You can extend that period of stay for 30 days at Immigration offices. You cannot extend a visa. I'm guessing it's your permitted period of stay that expires on 18th April, (as printed on your entry stamp) and it's your intention to apply for a 30 day extension to That permitted period of stay.

I use chrome, edge and brave browsers and with or without using a VPN can view the video. I suspect your issue may be the program you use to display video content. Try downloading and using VLC, which will open video content in many different formats.

Mine was pending for 5 days before being approved at the end of last week. (Not CW). The site was closed for maintenance early hours of Tuesday morning last week, so maybe playing catch up. Just check it's still pending.

Seconded.

You can't apply for a 1 year extension from a tourist visa unless you first apply for a Non Imm visa. (Change visa types) If a TV is as you perceive, a Non Imm visa, then why can't you apply for a 1 year extension from it?

If you stay at a hotel after arriving that file a TM30, (which changes your registered address) then you will have to file a new TM30 on arrival at your previously registered address in Korat with Korat Immigration.

Depends on if you stay at a hotel that files a TM30 before arriving at your previously registered address and if your IO are following the new TM30 reporting regulations. Best to check with your own IO.

According to a good friend who has had PR for many years and exits, reenters Thailand multiple times a year, he has to obtain either a single or multiple entry re-enter permit.

You answered your own question. Does having PR status make you a Thai national - the answer is no. Same reason even with PR you are required to obtain a re-entry permit.

That's an assumption and speculation on your part. Why develop an online system that clearly states the application must be submitted within 3 days of arrival, when they could continue with the old TM6 being completed in flight or on arrival as before. I think airlines will insist on receipt of approval of the TDAC application before boarding.

I doubt the airline will allow you to board without TDAC clearance.

After deciding to take retirement and move to Thailand, I simply googled 'Thai Immigration' 6 months before my planned the move which brought up numerous links to Immigration websites, lawyers, the Thai Immigration Act as well as the documents and procedures that I would be expected to follow and the financial requirements to stay long term. One of the first things I realised, a necessity, was to visit my local Immigration office and file a TM30, without which it wouldn't be possible to submit 90-day reports or apply for extensions of stay.

6 online reports, only 3 email reminders. For some reason, you do not always receive an email reminder, which is why I rely on different reminder methods.

Every New Year, I call into my local bank branch and obtain a free desk calendar. I subsequently mark the due 90 day report dates on the calendar as well as placing a reminder 7 days beforehand on my PC. As @DrJack54 stated, email reminders are not reliable. In the previous 2 years, I received only 3 email reminders from Immigration.

The TM7 form does.

Why, it's self explanatory if you read the available information and forms you complete. A visa validity is the period during which you can enter Thailand. On entry you are granted temporary permission of stay as noted on the stamp. "Admitted until (date)", which is limited depending on the method of entry. You can then extend that period of stay. TM7 form clearly states "Application for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom" - so you're applying to extend the period of stay previously granted. On applying to extend your period of stay you'll be asked to complete and sign a number of forms, mainly the terms and conditions of the overstay rules, and form STM2 which is titled "Acknowledgement of terms and conditions for permit of temporary stay in the Kingdom of Thailand" The final clause states; I do hereby acknowledge the terms and conditions of this permit ................ The stamp is a permit granting temporary permission of stay. "Extension of stay permitted up to (date)".

Covered previously in other topics. The DTV is a glorified Tourist type visa, and each entry permits a temporary stay of 180 days. The law is that if you stay for 90 consecutive days in Thailand, you must submit a 90 day report. You have the option to leave and re-enter every 90 days, as the DTV is multi entry, if you don't want to submit a 90-day report

You don't have to translate, the sites are available in both Thai and English.

When you first enter the Country, you are stamped with a 'temporary permit of stay' stamp, which is often referred to as an 'entry stamp'. It's a permit allowing you to stay for a temporary period of time. "Permitted to stay until (date)" You can then extend this temporary permitted period of stay in many instances for many reasons, such as retirement or Thai spouse. Although Immigration officials often use the incorrect term 'visa', the stamp is actually a 'permit', not a visa. Visas cannot be extended, temporary permissions of stay can be extended. Unfortunately, most people don't read the stamp wording or the documents they complete. Thailands Ministry of Foreign Affairs states; https://www.mfa.go.th/en/page/general-information?menu=5e1ff6d057b01e00a6391dc5 7. Please note that the period of visa validity is different from the period of stay. Visa validity is the period during which a visa can be used to enter Thailand. In general, the validity of a visa is 3 months, but in some cases, visas may be issued to be valid for 6 months, 1 year or 3 years. The validity of a visa is granted with discretion by the Royal Thai Embassy or Royal Thai Consulate-General and is displayed on the visa sticker. 8. On the other hand, the period of stay is granted by an immigration officer upon arrival at the port of entry and in accordance with the type of visa. For example, the period of stay for a transit visa is not exceeding 30 days, for a tourist visa is not exceeding 60 days and for a non-immigrant visa is not exceeding 90 days from the arrival date. The period of stay granted by the immigration officer is displayed on the arrival stamp. Travellers who wish to stay longer than such period may apply for extension of stay at offices of the Immigration Bureau

It's a requirement under the Thai Immigration Act, which is law. Section 37, clause 5. 5. If the alien stays in the Kingdom longer than ninety days, such alien must notify the competent official at the Immigration Division , in writing , concerning his place of stay , as soon as possible upon expiration of ninety days. The alien is required to do so every ninety days. Where there is an Immigration Office , the alien may notify a competent Immigration Official of that office. If you're going to visit or stay in a foreign Country, it's your responsibility to research some basic laws.

In the Country of Residence, the "United Kingdom of Great Britain" and "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" are options.
