Good result. Can you report back when you obtain the non O eVisa and detail any glitch Seems from various reports that eVisa for various visa types has been simplified.

Yes. And that's what you need to do. From my post above ..,. "CW will want to see bank statements from date on extension stamp till date of next extension" The thing is agents can obtain the extension 3 months early. You used agent to obtain the non O and subsequent 12 month extension. Normally that would be done without you meeting the financials. You then (usually) use agent ongoing. In your situation you provided own financials. Would appear "seasoning" of funds for 2 months was not required. In hindsight you could easily have done the process yourself.

Indeed. Think "onwardticket.com" closer to $14 USD. Both work

I have seen few reports of folk being issued boarding pass with return flight past the (previously) 30 day visa exempt entry. A signing of a waiver sometimes asked for by supervisor. In any event from the OP...... "think maybe best if I go for the Non O. The thought of being knocked back (however unlikely) at Heathrow, wife in tears etc., is too much of a worry." Seems that the OP is not interested in possibility of drama. Perhaps for that reason he is leaning to Non O eVisa over visa exempt (that also requires extension at immigration)

Are you using money in bank method OR income method? The "bank letter" (100 baht) is simply one page confirming that you are the account owner. The account is active and account balance. Here is an older thread with extremely detailed OP for CM https://aseannow.com/topic/1224751-marriage-visa-extension-guide-chiang-mai/

The OP asked a simple question. All posts regarding extensions from non O are off topic.

Just watched the video. Hilarious

Assume you are using funds in bank method? A 3 month bank statement would have you covered.

My last post. You have not provided extension stamp pic to show dates. CW will want to see bank statements from date on extension stamp till date of next extension. Simple.

Exactly. However when he applies for extension he will need to show bank statements back to when the current extension stamp was issued. Would be good to see extension stamp...

The OP states that his extension stamp was issued 15 months prior to current expiry date..

Your first stamp would have been non O retirement.. Normally the 12 month extension would have been obtained 2 months later. Seems agent was able to obtain non O and subsequent extension at same time or very shortly after, giving you 15 months. If you post pic of stamps you were given would be helpful. Immigration office?

Thanks for excellent report and detail. Will be helpful to others

I have 2 appointments Nov 5 at CW. Made them on Oct 10

Your starting date is August 27, 2024 so that means that 89 days later would be November 24, 2024.

90 days from 27/08/24 I assume 15/10/24 was not your first extension from non O

You can put 40 if you want. This link gives detailed instructions for reports via registered mail https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/90days-report/

Correct plan. Won't be able to do next one via mail Would need to be done in person

I also deal with CW and use mail option. Granted due to frequent travel out of Thailand I don't require file TM47 often. Seems at CW they don't even process reports till after due date. Assume you post 15 days prior to due date so 4 weeks + is possible. If you eventually end up reporting in person show the record of your post via mail. The fine should be not enforced.

OP, here is a thread with discussion of obtaining Non O marriage eVisa in UK. https://aseannow.com/topic/1315309-non-o-marriage-visa-from-uk-e-visa/ Disregard posts in your thread regarding requirements for extension. That is not required. Your choice is simple. Obtain the non O in UK (providing stay up to 90 days) ....OR Enter Thailand visa exempt + 30 day extension (also covers 90 days)

He would have gone to immigration in person to file the TM47 and apparently been fined 2k

True however online reporting has proven to be problematic for many. Fo some folk access to immigration is not simple due to distance and the size of office eg CW . Not to mention mobility issues etc. There does exist mail option. BTW: The max fine is 2k if you skip TM47 for the year. (more if arrested on unrelated matter) They will fine you at time of extension. Seems TM47 now required for annual extensions.

Bank statement should not be required for FD account. Just provide bank book photocopy of pages. Along with "bank letter" 100b. When I was using FD account at CW, I made deposit on day of application 1000b (minimum allowed) Most report the deposit not required.

Off topic bickering re non O requirements removed.

Thanks for update. Good result. Thread closed. Edit : @Eiboticus89 reopened thread. Can you post detail report of your border run from Ranong with company. That (I assume ) avoided overnight stay.
