And I just got a reply from a company I messaged up here in Bangkok and this is what they said. So it can be done it just can't be done at every border every day.

Okay if you're on a 30-day Visa exempt entry and you have not extended it yet by 30 more days you could get the stamp moved to the new passport when you do the extension otherwise you show both passports when you exit the country and they will stamp you out on the new passport and make a notation that you'd entered on the old one and you can indeed leave by land and come back in. You are not trading country passports you are swapping an old passport for a new passport from the same country and that can be done by land And you cannot get that stamp moved at the main immigration office up here in Bangkok Chaengwattana, Visa exempt entry stamps and extensions are moved at IT Square Laksi Plaza. If you're just going to bounce out and back for a new free entry talk to one of the agents that run from jomtien, there's one that leaves every day from Queen Vic hotel I believe. They shouldn't have a problem with you bouncing with both passports.

Careful with that answer there, they got a new passport and they're trying to swap an old for a new passport from the same country it would appear and that can be done at a land border without any issue at all

At this time it would appear there is no problem bouncing out and back to get a 60 day entry stamp as the 60-day Visa exempt entry by land was recently made unlimited. Meaning if you've already milked your two 30 day entries this year by land you should be able to get out and back in on a 60-day entry stamp without any issue as long as you pick the correct border <-by that I mean don't try to exit re-enter at the Aranyaprathet Poipet border.

There are no financial requirements to get the 90-day single entry non-o visa Based on either marriage to a thai or supporting a Thai child. Birth certificate, mother's thai ID, mother's house book listing, child's house book listing if you have it. Your passport, three passport size photos, one to get into lao at the border, two for the application, copies of the data page of your passport, your lao visa, your lao entry stamp and a filled out application Remember the Thai consulate in Savannakhet now requires mandatory online booked appointments to get in the gate, and they have three business day processing counting the day you apply

You can only buy an ox Visa in your country of passport origin or a country that you have permanent residence in

Just curious, when did you last use the "agent outside the embassy" ?

Totally BS, The services that bounce people out in back at the Cambodian borders get you out and back the same day. Just had a service the other day that needed 18 vans to take the people who showed up that morning to the border and everybody got out and back the same day and everybody got a 60-day stamp, that's 180 people who are living proof you don't need to stay out overnight

You might get out and back on your own at these borders with Cambodia Ban Laem/Duang Chanthaburi Ban Pakard/Phsar Prum Chanthaburi Kap Choen/Osmach Surin There is a very high chance you will not get out and back at the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border. Those "I'm going to bounce myself and save money" ideas often end up not saving you any money.

Okay people, Here is a foolproof way to tell whether your 90-day reporting was reset when you got a new year extension issued. Ask yourself: When I got my year extension stamp inked in did the immigration officer give me a new 90-day report receipt with a new due date? If that answer is yes, they did reset your 90-day reporting when you got your extension and you follow that new paper. If that answer is no, they did not reset your 90-day reporting when you got your extension and you follow the due date of 90-day paper in your passport now. That works 100% of the time.

In many many hundreds of non-immigrant type O applications that I have seen go through section C1 out at Chaengwattana I have never heard of or seen an application denied after you applied paid the 2,000 baht and got a return date on your receipt. And I will add I have never ever heard of anyone reporting C/W asking for a backhander to do a Non-O visa.. How about you dial back the paranoia a notch or three, call that number and see what they want or better yet, slog on out there and say you missed the call and you wanted to see what it was about.

That could be it, because they are doing home visits on initial non-o Visa applications out there, I know several people applying for both retirement and marriage non O visa who had home inspections during the two week under review period

You don't get told to come back in 2 weeks it should be on the blue green receipt for 2000 baht to come back on this date (two weeks out) for your results

Nope there's no chance that happens because you don't leave your passport when you apply for an in-country non o visa art any office. At Chaengwattana you apply you pay the 2,000 baht you get a receipt that says come back in 2 weeks and on that date you show up with your passport and they ink in a new 90-day stamp and a non-o visa

I think what you had heard was, some of the services that take people to the Cambodian borders charge an extra fee for people on non-immigrant type visas or extensions whether the extension is canceled or not to get out and back at a Cambodian border the same day. That is totally something the officers at the borders there charge. You won't have any issue at all and there won't be any special fee to get out on a 90-day single entry non-o visa with the Nong Khai border. It's the Cambodian crossings that are doing that and only some of them

I think IF you have a TM30 filed at that address you're fine, (the TM30 is address specific NOT owner specific) and you shouldn't need to re-file at all BUT If you want to make a log in/user there is no App for mobile anymore It's all done thru the main website for the TM30 here ONLINE TM30 There are videos that show how its done and the user manual too

correct, they are chinese, they live HERE in thailand not cambodia they went there last week and applied and waited out the 5 working day processing time not counting the day you apply

Well if that's the case, it's definitely time to slog on out to your immigration office and get it sorted out 😞 never heard of that happening (which doesn't mean it has NEVER happened just that I never heard about it 😛 )

Nope, only info I got was the stamp and am waiting on the entry stamp as soon as they fly back in guess it's just the stuff on the website DTV Requirements Phnom Penh Thai Consulate

I think what they're actually trying to say there is a limit of two SIXTY DAY free stamps per year (air or land) <- meaning these new entries don't have anything to do with the previous free entries you got when it was 30 days by land 🙂 OR That is how I am interpreting what they're rambling on about, keep in mind though I am not the sharpest knife in the shed 😉

Let's see how it plays out, BUT right now no one can dispute that a THIRD free stamp land entry this year is possible. Probably a couple THOUSAND people have that 60 day land entry stamp after already having their TWO free 30 day entries by land this year Guess it'll take someone who has taken two 30 day free stamp land entries, their first 60 day land entry (maybe a 30 day extension), their second 60 day land entry (maybe another 30 day extension) and THEN goes to try for the 3rd 60 day free stamp entry by land Get back to me in about SIX MONTHS 😜 as that's about the soonest we'd know if 😮 Actually that isn't gonna work either because there's only FIVE months left in this year, so no one could get more than 2 60 day land entries (with 30 day extensions) before the year rolls over and as you say the count 'resets'

can you post an image of the bottom left of the PDF approval they sent you that shows the next report date? Just curious, when does your current extension run out? I ask because several people got "short" 90 day report dates because it only approved them until their current stay stamp expired Might not be why yours was short though 😕 just a thought

Daithi85 Make sure you check the system every day. Sometimes they do "extended" appointments and add more bookings on days I had someone looking for an appt last week and it was middle of August openings, then the next day it came up for Wed next week 😮 and they snapped it So check that system a couple times a day to see if more bookings come open

Remember you heard (saw) it first from Tod Daniels (legend in his own mind) Here's the first DTV (sticker visa) from the Thai Consulate in Phnom Penh

I think you don't understand how that system works ALL the appts show up but only the dark blue ones are "clickable" as in you can book one looks like the 23rd of Aug is the first available appointment
