Thanks for your post. Thinking we can close thread.

Yes. CW apply the current rules. You stay overnight in another province or exit Thailand and in both examples have continuous permission of stay then a TM30 is not required. Posts from random folk about what their immigration office does is waste of time. Everyone needs to be aware of their own immigration office "rules"

Poor advice. Especially given fact of going to Savannakhet to apply for a single entry non O

Thread full of misinformation. As pointed out third thread of unsubstantiated posts. Thread closed

Think you mean Pink Card. How will it assist you

What about home visit? A single entry non O from Savannakhet would give you a 90 day stamp and subsequently you could obtain a 12 month extension. You could delay current extension date by obtaining 60 day extension to visit wife

Why does it have to be 13 May. Why you going to Savannakhet. To obtain another single entry non O ? You could do a border bounce obtain 30 day visa exempt stamp. Extend that stamp by 30 then extend by 60 days to visit wife

OP, age? Over 50

No insurance is required for annual extensions to a non O based on retirement. Insurance is required for extensions from a non O-A based on retirement

If refused visa at Savannakhet how do you plan to reenter Thailand. Think you have used 2 visa exempt via land. Last resort suggest flight to CNX try to enter visa exempt via airport. Basically time to leave Thailand. You mentioned that you are young. Spend time in Vietnam. You are also visa exempt entry there

You are reading it correctly. My post was incorrect. Silly error. @scoutman360 be aware of my error. You can obtain your 12 month extension up till expiry of your current stamp

What health insurance do you use for your extensions. Perhaps possible to obtain policy less than 12 months. They will only grant extension up till expiry of insurance. Also discussed in this thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1249527-change-annual-visa-extension-date/

You most likely aware.... At CW they have photocopy/print/photo lower level. 4 photos for 100b instant service. Also if you tell photocopy person you are obtaining reentry permit, they know what pages of pp copies are required.

Can apply up to 45 days early at some offices eg CW,CM etc And 30 days early most offices

15 days at most offices eg CW. Check with your own office. CM is 21. Phuket is 15 working days etc. BTW: If you obtain reentry permit at airport there is a service option of 200b for them to fill I'm TM8 form, provide photo etc. Here is current thread regards reentry at BKK. Included pics of permit desk. https://aseannow.com/topic/1323230-re-entry-permit-at-suvarnabhumi/

So why did you do a TM30

You are in very poor situation. No visa exempt entries via land available. Already used. You also have the dreaded non O based on volunteering in history. What is your age. Very few options. A break from Thailand is obvious. An PE (Elite) visa. Marriage. Return to Sweden and after break obtain a METV.

You have a 90 day permission of stay. You can obtain a reentry permit to exit and reenter. The until date on that permit will be same as your current stamp. If planning to obtain a 12 month extension note that you require 15+ days remaining on your permit. Cost 1000b single and 3800b multiple. Can obtain at immigration office or airport.

So let's understand this this thread. You are asking on behalf of a "friend" regarding TM30 requirement in particular when the friend has used agent to obtain an extension from immigration office in province the friend does not live.

What! Up to him. Buy a cheapest throw away ticket. Can't your "friend" decide.

So missing the point. With every thread regarding TM30 requirements (every other day) there is zero need to post what various immigration offices require. Goes without saying that we all need to be aware of the requirements of immigration office that we deal with.

There are ~75 immigration offices. Regardless of what some rogue offices do, a TM30 is not required after travel out of province overnight travel and international when re-entering with same visa or reentry permit.

Reinstated when. Korat maybe have their own rules
