You getting "pulled up for it" does not make it a rule!! There never was such a rule

A Non-O issued for retirement will have "employment prohibited", that will not be on a Non-O for marriage - there is your difference.

A first extension should be for the same reason as the issuance of the initial visa (marriage in your case), so not sure if an agent can circumvent that rule

No it was never a RULE !!

That was NEVER a rule!

Then buy the elite visa = problem solved

That rule was rescinded in about 2009

Rule 18 states "Social media content is acceptable in most forums. However in factual areas such as but not limited to news, current affairs and health topics, social media cannot be used unless it is from a credible news media source or a government agency, and must include a link to the original source", the post you said needed a link did not quote any social media?

Thanks, but that says "should", not must. :-)

Please post the link to that. :-)

not needed, but highly recommended

That is a songthaew not a tuk-tuk, poor reporting.

As long as it has instant access

It most certainly did exist, but it was only for visa exempt entries

Oh I did add something, the fact that the 7 days extension would halt any chance of getting a visa inside Thailand. You need to learn that your posts are not the be all and end all!

Non-B will generally only be issued with supporting paperwork from the employer - so you need one of those first

Not so much about him needing more than the 7 days, more about he would HAVE to leave the country after that time

The op clearly states retirement, marital status is totally immaterial

A one year multi-entry visa that you got OUTSIDE Thailand?

Surely a far better option is for the op to obtain a single entry Non-O in his home country and enter with that.

The very first thing to determine is if you have a visa or an extension.

Makes no sense at all, how on earth could he apply at his own country's embassy for a visa, for his own country, as that is all they issue?

The cost of having my pension paid direct to my Thai bank is 70 baht, far cheaper than using an atm and also many banks in England are closing accounts of people who no longer reside there.

Looking at the map, there seem to be hundreds of side streets that could be used to avoid any checkpoint?

To clarify for others reading, Jomtien requires 2 months seasoning for the initial visa too
