For you or he to file the TM30, a copy of his Blue book (different address), Thai ID card and a copy of the Chanote for the residence you live at. The Chanote proves he owns that residence.

What is Mode of Travel - Air/Land/Sea and Mode of Transport - Aircraft/Car/Boat

You need at least 15 days permission of stay remaining to process a Non Imm O application. Certain Immigration offices require 23 days. You can apply for a 30-day extension to your VE entry and a further 60 day extension for visiting Thai spouse.

Immigration will not accept online printed statements. They must be issued by the bank who will stamp, date and sign it. (Certified by a bank official)

I don't recall reading any reports of CR operating rogue procedures. You should be able to proceed using the Immigration information I posted without any deviations to the requirements.

@JAG From what you've posted, the option of a Non O based on retirement may be possible, dependent on when the 800K THB will be deposited in a Thai bank. You currently have permission of stay until the beginning of May, and a 30-day extension will take you to the beginning of June. A border run and further VE entry would grant a further 30/60 day stay + 30 day extension taking you to at least the end of July, beginning of August. Hopefully, you would then have the sufficient funds in a Thai bank account. To apply for the Non O based on retirement, the 800K only needs to be in the account on the day of the application for the Non O. Requirements, item 9 on this page. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/issuing-and-changing-type-of-visa/ If you apply for the Non O, the 1-year extension must be based on the reason. You cannot change mid-stream applying for the Non O based on retirement and the 1-year extension based on Thai child for example. Certain Immigration offices have rogue requirements that don't comply with what's stated. Which office would you apply?

I'm assuming you intend to apply for the Non O based on Thai child rather than retirement, as your posts are rather confusing as for which reason you intend to apply. I also have no idea where you got the figure of 20,000 BHT as a requirement For the Non O based on retirement, the financial requirement is 800,000 BHT. For the Non O based on Thai child, the financial requirement is 400,000 BHT. In either case, you must have at least 15 days permission of stay remaining for processing of the application. You can apply for a 30-day extension to give you more time. You posted further as I was writing; No. The financial requirement for the Non O based on Thai child is 400,000 BHT. I have no idea where you obtained the figure of 20,000 BHT. The requirements are listed in item 7 here: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/issuing-and-changing-type-of-visa/ Where is the Mother? Was the child born in wedlock? You being named as the Father on a child's birth certificate alone is not sufficient proof if the child was born out of wedlock. Note, you must have parental responsibility and the child must reside with you as a condition. If you can advise on your marital status, we may better advise.

Should the VE revert to 30 days before your planned arrival, then a Non Imm 0 (90 days) + border hop and VE entry (30 days) + 30 day extension.

That suggests a Thai spouse or dependant Thai child. You can apply for the Non O visa from Immigration based on either of the above situations. You require 400K in a Thai bank on the day of application. You must have a minimum of 15 days permission of stay remaining. The annual extension requires the 400K to be seasoned for 2 months prior to the date of submitting the application.

According to a certain Bangkok tabloid, it's not a question of it will be reduced to 30 day VE entries again, it's just a case of agreeing and confirming an effective date.

So last minute, the Embassy is only open for 2 days next week. Good luck with the 'Holiday visa'.

The Thai Embassy London is closed 14th & 15th for Songkran, then 18th - 22nd for Eater. The OP should have planned better accounting for holidays, knowing he was warned to get a visa.

You departed using the automatic gates, which electronically registered your departure in their database. No issues on reentry using your re-entry permit. New electronic TDAC system, replaces the old TM6 card from 1st May. Plenty of info in this topic. https://aseannow.com/topic/1356064-thailand-digital-arrival-card-tdac-system-is-online-but-not-announced-as-starting-yet/

When a new German passport is issued, the old one is invalidated, either by being stamped or marked. The permission of stay in the old passport is still valid. On entry, you should have presented both passport and the IO should have placed the entry stamp in the new passport.

No, but you'll have to transfer the stamps to the new passport before submitting the extension application. Depending on the IO used, allow more time to complete the procedures, particularly if it's different desks.

He did? Where? Are you in the wrong thread?

To tackle your issue of staying for periods in Thailand based on proposed Thai spouse, your initial step is to get married in Thailand. Learn to walk before trying to run.

As stated, her current permission of stay is unaffected. Her options thereafter depend on her age and financial position.

Hotel, yes, landlord or friend, not necessarily. It's also equally his responsibility as the occupant and tenant.

My Non Imm O expired in 2014, it was 'used' on entry It doesn't change your Immigration status when your visa expires, or it's used on entry, unless your permission of stay expires. It's your permission of stay you extend from entry of a Non Imm O visa. Re-entry permit protects that permission of stay.

You can apply for the 1 year extension up to 30 days prior to your current permission of stay expiring (45 days at certain offices). However, when you apply you are given a 30 day under consideration stamp, which is dated 30 days from the expiry date of your permission of stay, not from the date of submission. Whichever way you decide to proceed, that 400K will be tied up for the same amount of time. Theoretically, you could withdraw that 400K once your application has been accepted, but it is strongly recommended you leave it until the application is 'approved'.

Just how can you apply for the 1 year extension on 1st July, as in your own words you'll depart Thailand 21st May returning 2 months later, which will be around 21st July.

It's a no-brainer following your more detailed information. Apply for the Non Imm O visa based on Thai spouse from the UK to enter Thailand. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/spouse-and-family-visa On entry you'll be granted a stay of 90 days. Deposit 400K THB in a Thai bank account in your sole name. Once the 400K has been deposited in a Thai bank for 2 months, you then apply to extend your stay for 1 year at your local Immigration office for 1,900 BHT. Repeat each year.

Understood. Your ME Non O visa expires 22nd April. Your current permission of stay expires 1st May You plan to depart Thailand 21st May returning 2 months later. However, I think your proposed plan is time-consuming and more costly than needs to be. Just my opinion, but in your situation I would just apply for a 60 day extension to visit Thai spouse at your local Immigration office, which will extend your permission of stay from 1st May to 30th June. Limited travel and costs 1,900 BHT. I would then apply for the Non Imm O visa based on Thai spouse online from the comfort of an armchair https://www.thaievisa.go.th/visa/non-immigrant-o whilst back home in Australia to re-enter Thailand. On entry, you'll be granted permission of stay for 90 days, transfer the 400K then (or before you depart) then 60 days after arrival apply for the 1 year extension. Absolutely no need to run around to local Countries or obtain re-entry permits. Waste of time and money with your current plan. All you require is a 60 day extension - 1,900 BHT > Non Imm O 120 AUD > 1 year extension 1,900 BHT.

You don't need a letter. The requested medical certificate can be downloaded from the very bottom of this page. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/page/retirement-visa Your local GP can sign it as he has your medical records.
