Legend is good description. Please post links outlining the steps you mention when they are available. Perhaps Just add them to this thread

The big if is can the agent have immigration accept his overstay pay fine and process a 12 month extension. If not he needs to exit Thailand via air and pay fine. If that happens he would receive overstay stamp in pp. That's where the link in @OJAS comes into play.

Yes it's clear you understand how a visa works. It has an issue date and enter by "until date" So for a single entry eg Non O it has a period (90 days) that you can used it to enter Thailand. Even if you entered on last "untill date" You would be stamped in for 90 days. Your visa is a multi entry. Yes by applying tad early you miss out on max period possible in Thailand. Being multi entry you receive a 60 day stamp every entry while visa is valid. By entering Thailand Dec 13 or prior (I would do min Dec 12) you will be stamped in for 60 days. As you are aware you can also obtain 30 day extension to the 60 for 1900b

No offense however even if using agent for eg extension you need to make yourself aware of "90 day reporting" It can be done Online In person Via post. Yes you can use an agent. However onus is on you to be aware of when it's due. A simple Google search will direct you to gov sites and some others such as Siam Legal. Also video guides. Aside: folk using online reporting should NOT rely on reminders. Enter due date and Window open date on your Google Calendar

Yes you need to enter prior to Dec 13 in order to be stamped in for 60 days. Provide your eVisa print out to immigration to make clear you are entering on the METV and not visa exempt

Yes you will pay a fine 2000b. As for "is it the agents fault".... No it's your fault for not being the least interested in keeping an eye on the ball game.

What's that even mean. The OP wants to obtain a multiple reentry permit. The requirements outlined in thread. Basic minimum is TM8 + Photo + docs mentioned. Or obtain at airport with pp + 200b The reentry permit is stamped into passport.

Bank letter valid for 7 days. As is 12 month bank statement. Get a new one The other option would be to attend CW early with a walk in with (cancel appointment) bank letter and statement with max 7 days old.

Yet you go on to then outline how you got caught out. Suggest anyone with less than a year validity remaining on pp do a renewal as soon as schedule permits. Why not just enter dates onto Google Calendar with reminder. 90 day reports can be made between up to 2 weeks prior to due date and One week prior.

As you now have extension based on income you will have no problem continuing with that option. For myself the main concern is if the WISE transfers to my Kasikorn account will show as international transfers. One solution is obtain "credit advice" Another I read on this forum is to ask the 12 month bank statement to be in Thai language. The suggestion is that if this is done the coding translates to "money from abroad" Do not know if this is factual.

I am also. However will stick with the plan to satisfy both methods come time for next extension (Oct) If they muck me around as per your friend experience then I will accept the extension based on money in bank and after that use an agent

Unless the agent was just hand holding exercise he should/would be aware that after using agent facilitated extension it is virtually impossible to DIY and would need to use agent ongoing. Apart from overstay mistake seems he failed to do TM30 (change of address) at new office. Even if not in overstay the new office would not process extension.

Thanks for update. Not sure what an agent can do for him. Did he use agent for current extension? Also you didn't mention the immigration office he is returning to. My advice would have been to exit Thailand and pay overstay on exit at airport. Hopefully reenter visa exempt. However not sure how his only one page in pp will hold up. Both with immigration and airlines. Suggest his ordeal far from over. Let's us know how he gets on.

I obtained my Non O retirement at Vientiane thai embassy. OZ passport..

No. For the two months prior to next extension the balance does not need to go back up to 800k...however... IMO best to take it back up to 800k just in case they reject something regarding the monthly transfers. The only negative is they may try to push you to continue with money in bank method. I'm Just covering all bases

You already have correct answer posted. Might add that some people opt to buy onward ticket from rent a ticket. One example Google "onwardticket.com" You buy these tickets day prior to departure flight Explained in this link. https://www.thedigitalnomad.asia/innovation/tools-and-services/onward-ticket/

@SunsetT you already have thread running and this thread I linked was for detailed report. You didn't read the thread.. In any event @BrandonJT has answered. For your eVisa application you can provide entry stamp to Laos. Also my reply in other thread that you need to attend Vientiane thai embassy for payment. BTW: ignore sprookers asking to help for instance approval 5k outside the embassy.

Trolling post removed. Also thread just repeating previous advice.

Couple of trolling posts removed

You are planning a 30 day extension to a SETV. Immigration will almost 100% not be interested in age of photo. Or you can pay 100b for four instant photos. Nonsense thread.

You don't have a visa, you have a permission of stay. Yes you can apply for another 12 month extension up till day of expiry. So that's an option. I was confused with current status due to previous thread of ME Non O in 2024. BTW excellent report however that option now off the table. You can apply for the 60 day extension as per your plan. You would need to apply for reentry permit after 60 day extension approval.

None taken. Seems non Thai married couple. With son attending school the OP plans wife to be dependant. Hope OP (after success) gives full report. As will @brewsterbudgen This question comes up and first hand reports will be beneficial.

Suggest you read the thread.

It's not true. As some have posted.. most likely statement from an agent. However that's strange as agents generally do not deal with extension marriage. It's just a misunderstanding. Are you doing the extensions yourself meeting the financial requirements.

All applications are done using e-Visa platform. Recent reports of folk obtaining eg Non O basically overnight. You attend the consulate to pay for application. After approval the eVisa is emailed to you. Make a hard copy and reenter Thailand. Recent thread here:
