Many offices will not allow that switch.

I'm not so sure. If the OP is still married his immigration office may not allow to change to based on dependant child. Perhaps OP along with wife could visit Immigration to discuss options.

Have a read of this thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1143060-non-o-visa-for-father-of-thai-child-after-divorce/ Also for best advice added details. Is current wife agreeable to amicable divorce. Can this be delayed till current extension is due to expire. This situation comes up often and also covered in marriage divorce forum

Trolling post removed. OP, are you currently divorced?

I have. (CW) Think you should be OK. When you receive back the approved tm47 (hopefully) there will be a notation to do it 15 days prior next time.

Have you read before this statement "up to the immigration office" No consistency in Thailand. I would suggest try couple of weeks prior to expiry. Which immigration office. How long does the guy wish to stay.

CM have ignored the change of tm30 rules fron June 2020.

Yes. Enter visa exempt and obtain 30 day extension. He could also obtain 60 day extension to visit wife. Very simple process for 30 day extension. He would require a TM30 along with some basic photocopies of pp and TM7 application with photo and 1900b

I seem to recall post you mention. In any event some folk use fast track in another zone and are processed through passport control then walk back to place I posted above. Suggest you use Zone 2.

OP, the process is mentioned by @Caldera earlier....the termination letter is dated in future. Also explained in this cut/paste from ubonjoe in older thread... "Immigration will post date the cancelation to the day on a termination letter from your employer to give you time to leave the country. If not you would be on a overstay when you leave the country."

OP, you can transfer stamps/information any time you want. Yes can leave it till extension renewal. Best idea is to transfer prior to that. Currently I'm traveling with old and new passports as CW would not transfer reentry permit as it was issued DMK. Be aware to update your bank with new pp details. Note: for folk having their stamps transferred at CW they now requure proof of money in bank (if using that method) Caught me out recently and was made to go downstairs to update bankbook and photocopy the pages since last extension.

The op is not after a certificate of residence. He wants to do 90 day report

No, reasons are now given in the rejected email notification Not for my last 3 rejections online application However thanks for update which helps me not. " Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected. Please contact the nearest Immigration Office in person immediately.

Very rarely given. The standard statement is " report to your immigration office"

Yes rejected online . That is not uncommon. Suggest attend jomtiem immigration with copy most recent TM47 and should be sufficient.

No issue. Thinking you save about $275usd per year in opportunity cost. So better than nothing. Make sure your wife can have quick access to the dosh. OP, has his answer. Thread closed.

800000× 0.016= 12800 minus tax. If your happy that's good. Unless OP wants to continue thread perhaps time to close.

OP, do you have a previous TM47 receipt. Not sure about Jomtien but a TM30 should not be required. https://aseannow.com/topic/1319015-jomtien-90-day/

Married without a Will "very simple process" Beg to differ. BTW married guys you can have your wife as a signatory in your bank book and account is still in your name only. Re folk not married...(me). I'm in the process of switching to income method. In fact may opt for agent. The monthly income transfer lands in my account and goes straight into hers. The balance in my account minimal..

There is a lot involved in that topic. My suggestion to anyone with Thai wife or (in my case) long term partner is to have thorough look into that issue. Make informed plans

OP, as pointed out by @Upnotover not sure if I see a better option than obtaining single entry non O marriage and subsequent annual extensions. You can still have your trips out of Thailand by obtaining a multi reentry permit 3800b Here is thread with links that outlines process from visa exempt entry to non O marriage and subsequent 12 month extensions https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/

What you are referring to is a multi entry non O based on marriage. That visa is valid for 12 months and allows for stay of 3 months per entry. That stay can be extended by 60 days to visit wife. Many folk obtain that visa in Savannahket. Recently the financial requirements have changed.

Correct answer above. How long do you plan to stay in Thailand BTW: entering visa exempt your airline may require an return/onward flight for check in..

First part of your post is correct. You are in under consideration period. Do not allow funds to fall below 800k. When you return you will be given a stamp and when the funds have been in bank for 2 months you can apply for 12 month extension. After extension approved you must not drop below 800k for next 3 months. After that 3 months not below 400k. Then back up to 800k for 2 months prior to next application. Wash and repeat. Note: some folk opt to have a dedicated bank account for extension purposes and another account for day to day banking

So now on extensions based on marriage. What method are you using for extensions. Money in bank or income method. Can't understand why you are even asking about putting funds in a Thai bank. If I had a lazy 800k baht sitting around I would stick into super fund/shares. Thinking better advice for you in banking finance forum
