The real question is what is your previous entry stay history this year in the country. I mean have you been milking free stamp entries and 30-day extensions to facilitate living here? Because the borders take a dim view of people doing that who bounce out and back to get another stamp This is exactly why people use the service to bounce you out and back because they can get you out and back safely with out regard to your entry history. Best of luck with it

Which is exactly why you should never trust Google or AI about Thai immigration stuff A good way to check holidays is to try to book an appointment at the immigration office via the online system Here you can see that 10, 11 & 28 are holidays

No they have a nice car pick you up at the airport take you to the border and bring you back

Looks like SWD Transport started Nakhon Phantom by air.. www.thaivisaservice.com

If you bank with Bangkok Bank they will bring you to Bangkok to bank the funds, get the bank letter, etc. Then they take you to get the extension and back to begin to get the money out. For some reason they can't use Bangkok Bank in Pattaya. It doesn't seem to have affected other banks down there

More than a year ago the immigration office at Chaengwattana stopped requiring people with under consideration stamp based on marriage to update their bank and bring in a copy You should be fine, they don't ask to see your bank book when you show up to get your extension inked in

there is nothing out of the ordinary being asked to do that IF you are using "banked money method" and it's NOT the first year you get the extension from the Non-O (when the seasoning is just 2 month) you have to show a year detail transaction report so that immigrations can see that you left the money in the account for 3 months after you got the extension last year, then that the balance never went below 400k the rest of the year and that you got it back up to 800K two months before you applied for the new extension That's a totally common thing to be asked by IMMIGRATIONS This topic is about Bangkok Bank making their own rules about how long you have to leave the funds in their bank to get the letter from them

and someone up in Chiang Rai had to sign this form

Someone posted this on a f/b group saying it was at a Bangkok Bank branch in the basement of Chaengwattana here in Bangkok where immigrations is and that they heard about it today when they went to get their bank letter.. They have an extension based on raising a foreign child so their 500k was already in the bank for 3 months, BUT because it wasn't in for 4 months total the bank made them sign they would leave it in ANOTHER 4 months in order to issue the bank letter

Can't see if you're a foreign condo owner how providing a TM30, a copy of the blue book (which would be blank seeing as foreigners can't have their name IN a blue house book) and a copy of the front/back of the chanote <- which WOULD show the foreigners name on it are all that invasive and/or difficult to produce.. 😕 Foreigners that rent are routinely asked to provide TM30, rental contract, thai owners i/d, blue book when getting a yearly extension so if you own a condo as a foreigner stands to reason you'd show something more substantial than just a TM30. Remember the documentation you provide on the TM30 online system is only to create an account and add an address, NOT to file a TM30 on someone

The real questions are : What do you mean by the statement my passport is running out of days? Do you mean you're current stamp is running out? OR Do you mean your passport is expiring soon? Another question is WHERE are you in thailand? If you're in Bangkok there are border bounce services that take you to the borders in Lao and back SWD Transport is one (www.thaivisaservice.com) If you have an extensive entry/stay history you are unlikely to bounce yourself out/back at the Nong Khai border without either being told to stay IN Lao 2 days or so OR being told you can leave but have to fly back in <- which again, with an extensive entry/stay history (especially if it's free stamp visa exempt entry) can come with it's own set of problems

At Chaengwattana you can apply for an extension when you have 45 days or less left on your current stamp.. You don't lose any time applying early because the year is added to you current expiration date

There's no problem flying in and out of Cambodia, or flying out and back to any location, The real problem is getting stamped back in on another free stamp 60 day visa exempt entry at the airport. especially if you just had one.. They are hella hard on "bouncers" <- people living here milking free 60 every stamps, and deny entry to a couple thousand people a week at the airports. If you're thinking of flying out and back as a way to get a new free stamp entry (especially if you're on one now) you should think about using a safe entry company. They guarantee you get in at the Bangkok airports no matter what you entry/stay history is.

Dual back the paranoia just a notch or three. 😉 Nothing is going to be said because you missed the earlier 90 day report (but the excuse you didn't know about doing them cuts no ice 😮 ). You already leFT the country and "wiped the slate clean" concerning that last one you missed. Nor is anything going to happen because your landlord filed a TM30 late. As long as you have the PDF print out that it was filed you'll be fine doing a 90 day report at that address. If you're in Bangkok you can always just go to Bumrungrad Hospital 10th floor business center and they'll do your 90 day reporting for 650, you drop off the passport and pick it back up from there a few days later. One last thing, even if you don't file a 90 day report, nothing will happen when you go to stamp out and come back in a new stamp, the officers at passport control don't care in you ever filed a 90 day report or not. You can only be fined by the immigration office 2000 baht for failure to file a 90 day report on time, and if you don't have any business at the immigration office (certificate of residence, extension, etc) they'll never even know

and there in lies the problem. 😮 IF that agent used "banked money method" and banked the money just long enough to update your bank book, get the bank letter and get you the extension, then even IF you had 12 months of a minimum of 65K baht a month in international transfers coming into your account you couldn't use monthly income method for this upcoming extension 😞 That's because The banked money method seasoning is 800K baht in the bank for 2 months before you apply for the extension, the 800K baht stays in the bank for 3 months after the extension is granted and then the balance can not go below 400K baht the rest of the year <- you meet these requirements in addition to bringing in 65k baht a month each month every month for the previous 12 months for this upcoming extension When you go to get an extension they will require a year detail transaction report from the bank, that will show the balance every transaction for every day of the previous year AND (if the agent banked the money for you) they will see that you didn't meet the requirements for the banked money method and deny the extension Just continue using the agent (the prices didn't go up THAT much, I previously saw prices in Pattaya for 14k and now it's like 17k-19k, although bangkok is higher)

If you got your extension in Chonburi especially if you used an agent (as in you don't even know the address they used down there to get your extension when you got it issued) you'd have to have filed a NEW TM30 the second you came back to Bangkok, AND dunno who told you that online TM30 wouldn't work, if your land lord filed one online AND if they exported the document after they filed it so you have a copy of TM30's PDF paper, you should be able to file a 90 day report with just that OR you might go to Bumrungrad at the 10th floor business center, they do 90 day reporting for people for 650 baht. They'll tell you when you're there if they can do it for you or not, so you won't waste any money if they can't do it OR Especially if you have an agent gotten extension from Chonburi, just don't even bother doing a 90 day report. NOTHING will happen to you, the maximum fine you can get is 2000baht if/when you go to file a 90 day report at a later date. When your Bangkok land lord filed the TM30 did they send you the PDF file like this example? You NEED that to prove a TM30 was filed

This is SWD Transport/Thai Visa Service (the company that leaves from Lotus's On Nut for border bounce/visa runs) new program.

It appears you don't understand how the monthly income method works for people who can't get the affidavit of income letter from their embassy. <- which your Brit embassy doesn't issue and hasn't since Dec 2018. In order to use the monthly income method you would have to transfer intoa Thai bank account in your name only a minimum of 65K baht per month, each month, every month, for the previous 12 months before you apply for the new extension. It goes without saying although I will say it now, if your current extension was based on banked money method you also need to meet the seasoning requirements for the extension you're currently on aa well

As DrJack54 said correctly you don't have a 90 day report due yet You have to be on the same visa/extension MORE than 90 days to have to file a report, you came in visa exempt for 60 but even if you took the 30 day extension you're under the days needed to have to have filed a report Same when you got the initial 90 day Non-O visa, it's only good for 90 days so again you aren't here on it long enough to have to file a report When you get the first yearly extension they will put a small paper in your passport telling you when your first 90 day report has to be filed So when you get your passport back from the immigration officers, LOOK thru it before you walk away for that paper, and if it's not there ASK them when your first report is due (it should be due 89 days from the date you apply for your year extension) That paper looks like this

Okay boyz and squirrellz this is what it's looking like (at least from Bangkok) As of now, every border in Cambodia is closed to foot traffic for foreigners to bounce out/back at. That's because the military took control of the borders (unlike last time when the governors of those provinces could decide to keep them open, now they can't) This is the break down of the companies CPS <- a GIANT company that mostly lugs Laotianz to the border and back (sometimes with 20 plus vans) looks like is going to Savannakhet Meesuk Travel <- mostly lugs Pinoyz is going to Nong Khai Smile <- looks like is running to Nong Khai SWD Transport (Thai Visa Service out of On Nut) <- is going to Savannakhet Bangkok Buddy <- don't know where they're running Prices have to go up (not for ASEAN countries or russianz because they get in to Lao free) but for 'regular foreigners' because of the Lao visa on arrival and the "gate fee" (costs that agents pay to get their people out/back without any issue) There also seems to be some "variable pricing" based on how many visa exempt entries you have in your passport (not from this year, but IN your passport period) and it looks like 4 is the cut off where you'll be charged 1000baht more (again not for any country that gets unlimited visa exempt entry (russian/pinoyz/lao/malay etc) There's a service advertising out of Hua Hin that will take people to bounce at the Ranong/Kawthaung border with Burma; they were mentioning Bangkok and Pattaya, but don't know the particularz about it That's about all I know but tell you what, it's sure gonna be a LONG slog from Bangkok to Savannakhet (9 hours) or Nong Khai (10 hours) just to border bounce. Plus remember Nong Khai isn't the soft touch border it was before for you "I'll bounce myself and save money" people 😮 The guards at the border are telling people to stay out 2 nights, show proof of onward travel in 60 days and/or proof of lodging (pretty much what ever they want to tell them really 😕 ) That was all the info I could find and as of now it's accurate, but this situation is really in flux and the companies are scrambling to figure out what to do, come up with pricing and a time table so contact who ever you're going to use to bounce with and see what they say Sadly I don't know anything about the Pattaya border run services

@Unown Umm, did you manage to make it back into the country or what? Thought you were going to post back

No, you show up on the date that recertify says to show up Just coincidentally happened your come back for results date is the same date as you're current entry stamp expires Nothing to worry about, not at all. I personally have never ever heard of anyone being denied their initial non o visa after applying and getting a return for results date on their receipt of paying the 2000 baht. If they let you apply you'll get approved just show up that day.

Just so everyone is aware ONCE you manage to get a 90 day report approved on the 90 day reporting online program you DO NOT have you type in anything more than your passport and then select your nationality after that The system will auto fill the data from the previous approved 90 day report Just do the personal information then press the blue magnifying glass icon. Only thing you have to remember is if you got a new extension between the last 90 day report and when you're filing so you can adjust the expiration date 🙂

And you could be right, but at this time there is no requirement to put the TDAC number on an extension application.

If it is an ed Visa/extension based on studying at a private school you cannot change it to a non-b inside the country. The only Ed extension that can be changed is the ED Plus extension. Otherwise you do what I mentioned in the earlier comment
