Answer from @Georgealbert explains why Bangkok Bank comes up often in threads re extensions. Be aware that funds must have been in Bank for 2 months at time of application and you must have 15+ days remaining on your permit stamp. (21 CM) Edit: The last sentence does not apply to extensions. It's referring to non O applications.

You stated earlier.... "But CNX Immigration charges 1900 baht for the second one and only 1 week." There is only one 30 day extension for tourist visa entry. The second application resulting in 7 days is not an extension, rather 7 days to get out of dodge. The reason immigration processed your application is that folk that require few extra days (less than 7) can apply knowing full well the application will be rejected and as a consequence be given 7 days to exit Thailand.

OP, as others have pointed out obtain a TM30 from the place you are staying at time of application. You will apply at CW (not Laski IT) as you entered with a tourist visa. Apply for extension couple of weeks prior to expiry of current stamp. Obviously prior to check in at accommodation confirm that they will do a TM30 and provide you with copy..

Transferring Visa into new passport
DrJack54 replied to Jaunty's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Indeed. That's ~1100 baht per year Hardly sheep stations. So many threads on AseanNow of folk leaving it to last few months. Be aware embassy recommends to allow 6 weeks for processing so needs to be applied for when pp not required. The Thai gf recently obtained new pp. Process time: overnight -
Transferring Visa into new passport
DrJack54 replied to Jaunty's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You can transfer stamps when it suits you. eg same visit for your next extension. In meantime just travel with both passports. I currently have application in for my renewal Oz pp. My current pp expires 2026. Do it now. -

Chanthaburi Still Takes TM-30 Seriously
DrJack54 replied to HappyExpat57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
One would hope so however seems CM is an office that has refused to acknowledge the change of rules re TM30 -
medical Insurance requirement
DrJack54 replied to streetlite's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OP, it would be helpful to update your thread as it's not clear. @oldcpu and @Red Phoenix posts above gives very clear details of all options. Specifically do you have a non O-A visa. Have you been doing extensions based on retirement. Are you married to Thai national. -
Non immigrant O visa (thai spouse)
DrJack54 replied to steph83's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You actually have an extension of permission of stay. That expires while you are away from Thailand. You can reenter Thailand visa exempt and obtain a non O based on marriage at Thai immigration or you could obtain one in Belgium. Here in a thread that outlines procedure. Also contains links to similar threads. https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/ -
Chanthaburi Still Takes TM-30 Seriously
DrJack54 replied to HappyExpat57's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's very sad. You would think that someone in that immigration office would have the ability to check changes to TM30 rules in June 2020.
