You can enter on visa exempt or tourist visa and obtain a non O in Thailand. Assume your wife is non Thai. For her to piggyback on your extensions she would need to enter Thailand with a non O. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? Don't be concerned about onward flight requirement from the airline at departure from UK.. Google "onward ticket.com" and that option is explained. It's basically rent a ticket and works fine.

Any land border (that's open) you will be given 90 day stamp for a ME Non O

Thai METV in 2023 then SETV + METV in 2024
DrJack54 replied to Jsay2's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That sums it up. The very first step after entering Thailand with the Non O retirement is to open a Thai bank account in your name only (if you dont already have one. Deposit 800k in the account and after funds have been in the bank for 2 months you can apply for 12 month extension. Be aware that it's also possible to enter visa exempt or tourist visa and apply for the Non O at Thai immigration office. This route would require an agent just do assist with bank account. -
You applied for a non O based on retirement that is now under consideration. Think you have enough on your plate. Suggest you forget about the final stamp. Make your trip home to UK. Return to Thailand and enter visa exempt. Start step 1 again. Apply for the non 0 retirement. You have the bank account in place with the funds so inconvenient but thinking your best option.

Is only hard copy visa in the airport accepted?
DrJack54 replied to John8's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's correct especially in airports such as CM. Can't imagine anyone being rejected entry without printout. Poor form imo as the io needs to check all the eVisa details against the pp. It's also required at airline check in departure. In some countries (eg Vietnam) they want hard copy. -
OP, once you have new pp apply for reentry permit (unless you have one already. The reentry permit will be valid till expiry of current permission of stay. Travel to Oz and back with both passports. When you arrive back in Thailand you will be stamped in according to reentry permit. At some point you will have immigration transfer your non O information and entry stamp, reentry permit. Can do that at same time as applying for next extension. 30/45 days prior to expiry permission of stay.

Why do you need to use certain branch of your bank for bank letter etc. Use branch closest to immigration -
Residence certificate
DrJack54 replied to bokningar's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Certificate of residence does not have a photo. Which immigration office -
Yes it is. You are asking about a non O based on retirement. That can also be obtained in Thailand with visa exempt or tourist visa entry. You are correct in that opening Thai bank account in your name only is a catch 22. However an agent can assist with that. Any ideas where you wish to live in Thailand

Is only hard copy visa in the airport accepted?
DrJack54 replied to John8's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You need hard copy. Even with receiving an eVisa very late you can walk into any business/condo etc and ask them to print doc. Small tip covers it. -
I have always stated that folk need to be aware of their own immigration office requirements.
