That was your experience, every case is different, dependent on the reason and length of overstay. According to the law, section 81 of the Immigration Act. Section 81 : Any alien who stay in the Kingdom without permission or with permission expired or revoked shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding two years or a fine not exceeding 20,000 Baht or both.

Bangkok Bank (Head Office) 333 Silom Road, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok. Most banks now require a confirmation of your address in Thailand, as well as a referral from an existing customer, member of staff, or government official.

He could be fined and imprisoned.

Very few are brave enough to challenge them, though! 3 times I've challenged an IO and gone above his head. 3 times it turned out the IO had misinterpreted, misunderstood, plainly not familiar, or been ill-informed with Immigration orders.

No it's not. Section 38 of the Immigration Act states it's the responsibility of the housemaster, owner or possessor. Section 4 defines the "housemaster" as meaning, any persons who is the chief possessor of a house, whether in the capacity of owner, tenant, or in any other capacity whatsoever, in accordance with the law on people act.

In my experience in these situations, it's because the IO you deal with is either trained, informed and competent, or untrained, ill-informed and incompetent.

Or he could just be imprisoned for up to 2 years.

Google is your friend. His Embassy can issue emergency travel documents, or Immigration may request another form of ID.

He can fly back to his Country of nationality without a valid passport.

What difference would that make?

The UK offer both the single and multi entry Non O visa based on Thai spouse. The financial requirements for both are listed on their website. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/spouse-and-family-visa 3. Financial evidence, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, proof of sponsorship from a third party -Your recent official UK/Ireland bank statement shows your name, address, and a minimum closing balance of £500 (for individual single entry) £1,000 (for family single entry), £5000 (for individual multiple entries, and £10,000 (for family multiple entries), proof of earnings (payslips) or sponsorship letter from your sponsor with official ID and their Bank Statements.

Thanks. Did you receive the email reminders, or did you just self count the 90 days after returning to Thailand?

Interesting. Were your trips in-between 90 day report dates, or were you overseas when the reports were due.

Understood. I concur with @treetops. Your 90-day report is due Jan 2nd. The day of entry counts as day one of the 90 days. You're within the window to submit online now .......................... however I am doubtful it will work. I reinterred late July from overseas, but when I tried to submit my 90-day report in October, it failed. I had to submit in person and was told the reason was because I missed my previous report due in June. I was overseas at that time, but the IO informed me because I missed that report, the system didn't automatically predict a future report date. He stated I had to report in person so they could manually reset the report date. The local IO's have no access to when you departed or arrived back in the Country. If you cannot submit your 90-day report now, I suggest you file a new TM30 at the Immigration office within your location to change address, then they will process your 90-day report.

This doesn't make sense. You entered Thailand on October 5th, then obtained a 1-year extension of stay based on retirement from Bangkok through an agent? Your first 90-day report should be due 90 days from the date the extension was issued. What date was the extension issued? Usually, Immigration would place a notification slip in the back of your passport with your due 90-day report date.

If you're applying through a Thai Embassy/Consulate as your info graph suggests, then it's a visa. The question is how long do you intend to stay in Thailand, which usually dictates which visa type to apply for.

There is now no requirement to file either a TM30 or TM28 if you temporarily stay away from your permanently registered address, provided you later return to that permanent address. The new TM30 regulations made the purpose of the TM28 obsolete. The TM27 was introduced only to notify a change of address than that notified on a TM6, which is now also scrapped. Provided in the event of a permanent change of address, Immigration are notified via a new TM30, that is all they require. Why does the Thai Immigration website then not show the TM27 for download and still the TM28? Answer, because they are too lazy to update the site.

Yes.

Copies of the owner's ID and Blue book are required as proof of the address. If for any reason the owner will not supply these documents, you should inform your Immigration office. They have their methods of persuasion to obtain them. As an aside, I have a yellow book and successfully registered on the online TM30 site by uploading a copy of my passport data page, yellow book and pink Thai ID card.

You extend your permission of stay for 1 year based on retirement or Thai spouse/family, which are permits, not visas. 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

I gave you the link on AN to the Thai Immigration announcement that the TM28 had been scrapped, which was back in the days when you were supposed to notify even a temporary address if staying out of the province for more than 24 hours. I'm sure they accepted your TM28, then immediately discarded it once you left. Changes to the requirements for filing a TM30 made the TM28 obsolete. No it isn't. Filing a TM30 is the responsibility of the housemaster, owner or the possessor of the residence (section 38 Imm Act). Section 4 defines the housemaster as ”any persons who is the chief possessor of a house, whether in the capacity of owner, tenant, or in any other capacity whatsoever, in accordance with the law on people act". Wonder where I got mine from then? TM 27 Notification of change of Address if different than TM6..pdf

I'm on my 8th extension of stay based on marriage and supplied the same set of documents and a second set of copies at two different Immigration offices during that period. Immigration is a division of the Police, by the way.

Oh dear, now you're being a total idiot and trying to drag me down to your level so you can beat me with your experience. Do you have a reading comprehension issue. Do you take any notice of the forms you complete and documents you sign at Immigration. The term 'marriage' visa is also commonly used for the Non O SE visa and Non O ME visa, issued by Thai Embassies /Consulates. Visas display the type and number of permitted entries. How many entries does your so-called visa issued by Immigration have. None, because it's a permit, not a visa. Every form you complete and sign makes it abundantly clear you're applying to extend your permitted period of stay. TM7 - Application for extension of temporary stay in the Kingdom (extending your period of stay, not the outdated invalid visa) STM2 - Acknowledgement of terms and conditions for permit of stay in the kingdom Which goes on to state: I do hereby acknowledge the terms and conditions of this permit. Even the stamp you receive states 'Extension of stay permitted up to .......' If you could extend a visa beyond its validity, then you wouldn't need a re-entry permit for an extension.

2 sets of documents only required for extensions based on Thai spouse/family. Your local IO keep one set, the other set is sent to regional offices for approval.
