If the name on the visa doesn't match the one in your passport, then you won't even be permitted to board. Didn't you print out your application as proof of the information you submitted? Both you and another member have already submitted spelling mistakes in your posts (wright - right)

Non Immigrant Non O multiple entry Visa. Can be issued on the basis of retirement (+50) or Thai family/wife. Valid to enter Thailand for 12 months from the date of issue. Allows multiple entries of 90 days during the validity of the visa. The permit of stay can be extended one time on each entry for a further 60 days, for visiting Thai family/wife during the validity of the visa. You can stay for almost 15 months from a Non Imm O ME visa based on retirement, or 17 months with an additional 60 day extension based on Thai family/wife.

Each new 90 day entry from a Non Imm O ME can be extended for a further 60 days to visit a Thai spouse.

As I'm understanding the OP's position, he originally had a Non Imm O ME visa that allowed him to stay for 15 months. He attempted to then apply for a 60-day extension to visit Thai spouse, but didn't have proof of marriage documents. An agent told him 60 day extensions were only possible during Covid, which is totally incorrect. The OP has now done a border run and entered VE, giving him a 30-day stay. @Davef2912 correct me if my interpretation of your situation is incorrect. To confirm @BritTim correct information, you can apply for a further 30 day extension under clause 2.4 of Immigration Bureau order 327/2557 as you entered VE and therefore classed as a tourist, but can additionally apply for a further 60 day extension to visit a Thai spouse under clause 2.24 of the same order. However, for the 60-day extension you must provide proof of being married to a Thai, and your wife must attend for that extension application. I don't know how long you intend staying in Thailand, but if you can't meet the financial requirements to apply for a 1-year extension of stay based on Thai spouse, perhaps you should consider a further Non Imm O ME visa. You can stay for almost 17 months on this visa type with only 3 border runs and 3 x 60 day extensions.

That should read 12 monthly overseas transfers of 40K THB

Up to 45 days in advance or on the last day of your current permit of stay. To be clear, a visa cannot be extended, you'll be applying to extend your original 90-day period of stay from entry of the Non O visa. That visa was 'used' the day you entered Thailand. Applying based on Thai spouse, using the income method, you require evidence of 12 overseas transfers of 40K THB to your Thai bank account, alternatively 400K THB deposited in your Thai bank account for 2 months prior to the date of application.

I stand corrected, although only the single entry is listed on their website.

You should have registered as the 'possessor' in the drop-down box and uploaded copies of your passport ID page and the landlords Tabien Baan and ID card.

Same-day service, doubtful. However, you can pay 100 BHT for return of your legalised documents by EMS, no need to hang around Bangkok. Usually takes 3-4 working days.

UK only offer the single entry Non O. Savannahket, Lao, as mentioned above with proof of the equivalent of 800,000 THB on deposit with any bank.

Extensions based on Thai spouse have to be approved at regional level. Have you checked your passport, my guess is you were given an 'under consideration' stamp.

Official Immigration procedure > VE-TV to Non O Retirement.pdf TM87 form > TM-87-Application for Visa from Visa Exempt.pdf Checklist > Docs VE to Non Imm O.odt You will need to submit two identical sets of documents. 1 set Roi Et retain, the other set is sent to the regional office for approval.

I concur. Once your Non O stamp is issued, then apply for a new passport immediately. You can apply for the 1-year extension of stay up to 45 days in advance at Roi Et.

Applying for the Non O from a VE entry is not a problem at Roi Et Immigration. You need at least 15 days permission of stay remaining from your 30 day VE entry, or again you can apply for a 30-day extension if you require more time. Will you be applying for the Non O based on 'retirement' or 'Thai spouse'? I can supply a list of documents you'll require for either reason.

Cricket, England v Australia - the Ashes. # You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. # Each man that's in the side that's in the field goes out and when he's out comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. # When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. # When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. # Sometimes, there are men still in and not out. # There are men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. # Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter if they're in or out. # When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished ????

@bamboozled stated his visa expired towards the end of July. He didn't state when his current permission of stay expires. If he does a border run before the visa expiry date, he'll get a further 90 days on re-entry, which he could extend for a further 60 days. That would take him to Nov/Dec before he needed a new visa. Re-entry permits would protect his permission of stay during his proposed trip.

It wasn't me that stated the funds for a combo only had to remain in a Thai bank account for 2 months prior and 3 months after the extension is granted. I stated the 'funds' element when using the combo method would at least in part have to remain in a Thai bank account for the duration of the year.

That site is for submitting your 90-day reports online to your local Thai Immigration office. @bamboozled question is with regard to applying for a new visa at a Thai Consulate in Savannahket, Lao.

You can always apply for a 60-day extension to 'visit Thai spouse', which will effectively change the date you need to renew your Non Imm O ME visa, if that helps. You can also obtain a re-entry permit for the 60-day extension. Are you aware with the Non Imm O ME, it's possible to stay in Thailand for almost 17 months, with only 3 border runs and 3 x 60 day extensions, before applying for a new Visa.

Using the combo method, I'm not sure Immigration would accept an Embassy Income letter for only 660K Income. The rule was always an Embassy letter confirming an income of no less than 65,000K per month, OR 12 x monthly overseas transfers deposited in a Thai bank and funds deposited in a Thai bank totalling 800K per annum. For the funds part, those using the 800K must provide evidence of the 800K being deposited in a Thai bank account 2 months prior to, and for 3 months after the extension is granted. They can then withdraw from said amount, but must leave a remaining balance of no less than 400K in the account. i.e. 800K for 5 months, 400K for 7 months. From order 654/2564; Criteria for consideration. Clause 4). At least 2 months prior to the filing date and 3 months after being granted permission, an alien must have a deposit in a commercial bank located in Thailand of no less than 800, 000 Baht. After being granted permission for 3 months, an alien can withdraw said deposit and must have the remaining balance in the bank account of no less than 400,000 Baht. When using the combo method, the same rule applies to the funds part, just the same as it does if purely using funds. Clause 5). An alien must have an annual income and a deposit in a commercial bank located in Thailand with total sum of no less than 800,000 baht as of the filing date. The said deposit must maintain in the bank account prior to and after the permission is granted and the withdrawal can be made under the same conditions in the criterion 4). The contentious and often misinterpreted part here, in clause 5, is ''and the withdrawal can be made under the same conditions in the criterion 4''. It basically infers you can withdraw half of the funds, or at least that is how many expats and Immigration officials interpret it, ............... but that isn't what it actually states, the important line in clause 4 being ''and must have the remaining balance in the bank account of no less than 400,000 Baht''. That feature isn't missed by my IO, who insist that when applying using the combo method, the minium funds balance must be 400K and that balance must be maintained throughout the year, to comply with clause 4. I'm not suggesting that is correct, this is how fickle and ambiguously written these orders actually are. If you're getting away with 200, 300, or 350K funds (as I've read), using the combo method, then my advice would be not to create waves.

The criteria for using the combo method is listed in order 654-2564. Read clause 4 and 5. RTP-Order-No.654-2564-1RevisingClause2.22oforder327-2014 (1).pdf

That is incorrect advice. When using the combination method of monthly overseas transfers and funds in a Thai bank, totalling 800K THB, the funds are subject to the same rules as for using the 800K in a Thai bank method. i.e. The funds must be maintained for 2 months prior to and 3 months after the extension is granted, then funds can be withdrawn under the same criteria as when using the 800K method. If you are using 400K funds, then you may be permitted to withdraw half, 3 months after the extension is granted, leaving 200K for the remainder of the year, or at certain IO's they insist you must maintain a minimum of 400K throughout the year. The interpretation varies at IO's due to the ambiguously worded order.

I read it clearly and understood his meaning the first time. You mean, as in, when you MOVE to a NEW address

Do enlighten us with the correct information then! If, as @edwardflory stated, you move to a new permanent address, when should you file a new TM30?
