Visa options for 4-5 month snowbird stay for winter 2025-2026
That is no longer a rule.. No stated limit.. The accommodation could be simple eg agoda booking fully refundable booking. Rental agreement does not indicate tourist. However if you have one then yes provide that

Has Anyone Used “Friendly Thailand Visa” for Safe Entry? Need Advice
Recent thread where used this mob after refused entry and flown back to Vietnam. Returned to Thailand next day using safe entry service from this agent. 4.5k suggests you are minimal issue. The fee is based upon history.

Staying outside for few (2) nights would avoid agent requirement. You still may be asked for onward flight, accommodation rubbish etc. Yes I made typo was meant to be "can't" Will change my post. Correction in bold type.

Don't mean to harp... However if you have been using an agent for extensions then why not obtain another extension (12 months)

Don't see that possible without using an agent. Most likely require 1-2 nights. You could try contact agents in KK to see if they can assist..

Ok... She is doing it in person using TM47 form hence need for what you stated. If I couldn't do it online I would be using an agent. Perhaps your extension is via agent. In any event many use agent for 90 reporting. As the saying goes "up to you"

Perhaps a dumb suggestion... however have you tried just using your cell phone to open your "reporting account" and see if it will download. I open it (crome) then take screenshot.

Report form? Has the agent been doing the reporting online?

Yes that gives you date (open window) for next online report. As for need to show report I never even bother to print it. Some things such as obtaining a certificate of residence may require print out of the TM47.

You have misunderstood my post. I was referring to NEW 12 month extension. You would be aware of the financial requirements having obtained annual extensions in the past.

Are you currently in financial compliance with requirements for next extension? Seems overkill however have you considered obtaining another 12 month extension even though you only require one month. As you are aware extension is only 1900b. You could then leave anytime that suits. Which immigration office?

Can I leave the country while extension of my non O married is "Under consideration"
You referring to all 75+ immigration offices or just yours. Some have home visit ongoing. My advice was directed to those folk.

The immigration officer can "overlook" the remaining couple of days remaining on your reentry permit and stamp you in 60 days visa exempt entry. However hit and miss. Frankly don't see the point. You could exit at end of your current stamp and reenter Thailand after couple of days in Vientiane. You mention only one more month required. To reenter visa exempt, proof of flight out of Thailand within the 60 days would be advisable.

From your posts it seems you pretty much stay approx 5-6 months per year. True snowbird.. Can not imagine why there would be an issue for second visa exempt entry via year. If it were me I would spend a week in Saigon, however I'm biased as love that joint. Be aware that airline at departure flight to Thailand may want to see onward flight.

From your posts you appear very aware of your options. Cambodia borders closed has thrown spanner in the works. For me the visa exempt entry + extension followed by a bounce or mini holiday (Saigon) is an option. If just a bounce then flight to Udon Thani and couple of nights in Vientiane would be possible.

Thanks for detailed report. To each their own. Out of interest which soft option did you opt for. Also did it alone? No agent assistance?

Then you do NOT require visa. Just jump on plane. On arrival you will (currently) be stamped in for 60 days. At departure UK the airline may/will want to see onward flight out of Thailand within 60 days. 20 days? Seriously. Try and stay longer.

Visa cost
Why are you obtaining a tourist eVisa. Visa exempt entry is currently 60 days. UK passport? How long do you wish to stay in Thailand?

Nup. It's more about the immigration office and their policy. Obviously how busy they are also comes into play. eg CW perhaps not many home visits
