Exiting Thailand confusion
Liquorice replied to twozeds's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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/ -
Two valid Passports
Liquorice replied to roobaa01's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
Two valid Passports
Liquorice replied to roobaa01's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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. -
As stated, her current permission of stay is unaffected. Her options thereafter depend on her age and financial position.

arriving to thailand on the weekend
Liquorice replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
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'.

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.

What you can and can't do in Thailand is dependent on your Immigration status. If you enter visa exempt (no visa required) or a Tourist visa obtained at a Thai Embassy, then your Immigration status will be as a 'tourist'. You cannot apply for a 12 month extension based on Thai spouse as a 'tourist', and you are limited to only being issued a 2 year temporary driving licence. Work is also prohibited . If you enter on a Non Immigrant visa, then your Immigration status is just that, 'Non Immigrant'. (Not tourist). You must have Non Immigrant status to apply for a 12 month extension of stay, and you can apply for a 5 year driving licence. To be given the best advice, it would help if you stated your expected travel itinerary, date of arrival, length of stay, date of return to Canada and further return date to Thailand.

Options. As your permission of stay expires on May 1st, and you state you intend to leave for 2 months on 22nd May, then as an alternative rather than exit/re-enter for a further 90 day stay, you could just apply for a 60 day extension at Immigration based on Thai spouse. I assume you married in Thailand? As it's your intention to visit Australia for 2 months, I would be tempted to just apply for the 60 day extension. Regarding staying long term in the future, you can apply for a 12-month extension of stay based on Thai spouse. The financial requirement is 400K THB deposited in a Thai bank account in your sole name for 2 months prior to the date of application. You must have a non Imm O type visa to apply for the 12 month extension. On application, you will receive a 30-day under consideration stamp. Once the application is approved, you can withdraw and use the full 400K THB. Repeat the following year. When you intend to return to Thailand, you have the option of applying for a new Non Imm O single entry visa from the Thai Embassy. On entry, this will grant a stay of 90 days. When the 400K THB funds have been seasoned for 2 months you can apply directly for the 12 month extension based on Thai spouse. Alternatively, you could enter visa exempt and apply for the Non O at your Immigration office. (Requires at least 15 days permission of stay remaining). For the Non O application, the 400K THB only needs to be in your Thai bank account on the day of application. You are granted a further stay of 90 days. Then apply for the 12-month extension when the funds have been seasoned for 2 months. It may assist if you can state which Immigration office you use.

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.
