No. Just scam by usual suspects to use various sideways movements eg IP address etc. Also had a spat of posts re obtain eVisa even if in pp country and then not show at immigration on arrival as a plan to obtain visa exempt entry and use visa later. A METV is applied for in pp country or country where you have permanent residence status.

Have you even read the thread. First up the OP is still married to son mother. Child lives with mother, not with the OP (important) ..

So why not provide a report of exactly what you supplied to Thai immigration office for your 12 month extension from the non O that you obtained in Penang. Are you married to childs mother.

The OP obtained a non O based on Thai child at Vientiane. He is not asking about that. He is asking about 12 month extension.

Refer to first hand experience above from @Upnotover

The TM6 has no relevance at departure.

This thread has links to lot of threads discussing requirements. Also couple of posts pointing out that if married to mother immigration require extension based on marriage. Since you are covering much of expenses (school feed, mortgage etc) perhaps they wish to confirm with mother.. In your situation the child is not living with you.. Are you 50+ https://aseannow.com/topic/1327020-extension-of-stay-based-on-having-a-thai-child/

Yes I realize that.. The thing is , it seems that you have pointed out to immigration that you are still married and yet seem prepared to issue 12 month extension based on parent of Thai child.

So you obtained a non O in Vientiane based on Thai child It's good that the immigration office would facilitate 12 month extension based on parent of a Thai child while still married. Some offices would make you do the extension based on marriage if still married.

If onward flight required you would step away from desk and obtain a ticket either by "rent a ticket" or cheap throw away ticket..

The denied entries at BKK and DMK became an issue in 2019. As posted earlier with a 7 day stay in Vietnam a second visa exempt entry should be fine. Include onward flight within the 60 days as airline may require that.

Spam OP post. Thread closed.

Airline would not ask for onward flight if you had a Visa or reentry permit. Visa exempt is different. Suggested alternatives discussed in this thread and many others.

A METV visa provides up to 9 months stay. Granted each entry gives a 60 day stamp that can be extended by 30 days. Obtained in passport country or country where you have permanent residence status

Up till recent times a TM47 was required for COR at CW. In very recent times reports of folk obtaining a COR without TM47. Great for folk on tourist visas etc Not sure about Samut Prakan. I'm my experience I have obtained certificate of residence at CW just with a TM47 and photocopy of photo page pp. The list that you quoted contained several things not required. Photos one example. Here is form CW uses https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=439173

Should be fine. Note: airline will ask for onward flight. I fly often to Saigon and they always want to see my reentry permit to fly to Thailand. A week out is good plan.

In the main that the airline at departure may require proof of onward flight if entering visa exempt. Can also be asked by immigration at arrival airport. This is not required for those folk with a visa or reentry permit.

Did you consider eVisa https://www.evisa.gov.kh/ Edit: incorrect link.

It's 3 months after application at all immigration offices and as you outlined and 2 months prior. There are couple of offices requiring 3 months prior.

Required to maintain 800k for THREE months after extension granted then not below 400k and back up to 800k for TWO months prior to date of next application for extension.

If denied entry you will end up paying for the flight to exit Thailand. In most cases that will be back to where you departed from. Failing that back to passport country. Note not saying airline never pays.. The onward flight be that rent a ticket or throw away real ticket is useless. I can post pictures of "holding area" for Bangkok airports however thinking against forum rules. It ain't pleasant. @Tod Daniels has complete summary in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1330417-ive-been-denied-entry-to-thailand-now-what/

Why correct the obvious. The guy you quoted meant renew annual extensions from a non O-A
