Not all immigration offices do the 90 day report when you obtain an extension.

A new TM30 is not required in situation you describe.

Again you take threads off topic. Even the OP has asked to get back to topic. Habit of sidetracking for some reason

Answer Yes... However like everything regarding IT in Thailand it can be hit and miss. One option is to do the online report 15 days early and if no reply in couple of days do a report via mail. Doing both does not derail the other.

Yes aware of that. CM is not the only office that opted to ignore changes to TM30 rules in June 2020. We all need to be aware of our local immigration office requires.

You thought correctly. This also applied to international travel.. CM is one crazy exception See post above this one

No. Another TM30 is not required regards of spending nights away from place of residence and also for international travel provided you reenter on same visa or reentry permit

Do your extension prior to Jan 7. Since you can do 90 report in person up to 6/7 days late you could even do the extension and report mid Jan Most likely the io will process the 90 report first. Have your existing TM47 receipt with you.

I prefer to think of it as doing the right thing whilst being a guest in this wonderful country.

OP, of course you do realize that you cannot obtain extensions based on marriage even if you do not divorce. Don't understand why you are even asking about not divorcing. She has moved onto greener (more wealthy) pastures.

For most it's one of 4. Firstly... inadequate funds. Second.. have funds but prefer to not have it in Thai bank account as can earn ~8% elsewhere. Third....don't want to deal with immigration. Other.... immobility or other health issues. But you have known that already.

I was asking @rwilem for the docs he provided. I'm quite aware that TM47 cannot be provided for first extension. In my 10 extensions at CW the TM47 has only been required in the last 2. Thinking this could be included now for address verification. Perhaps some of your issues have been down to inadequate proof residence. Folk have reported added scrutiny (Jomtien) re TM30. Also note that you were unaware of requirement of hand drawn map of residence at CW. Looking forward to upcoming reports for extensions (retirement) to confirm if this "extra difficulty" using appointment hence L-35 is across the board.

Would be good if you posted exactly what docs you provided. Some of the lists in this thread include various things that I have never provided. In the OP case , seems was his first extension after obtaining non O from a eVisa (tourist) Without TM47 perhaps subjected to added scrutiny re proof of address.

So can you advice best option for chap with expired pp and 11 year overstay to exit Thailand. Please don't type turn up at airport .. pay 20k and jump onto flight. BTW direct flight and the OP did not state pp country of overstay guy.

+1. More importantly is that reading the OP ....there no hint that the overstay chap is asking about getting out of Thailand. Especially given been on overstay 11 years. He rather has milked the OP for what he feels possible. My favorite saying comes to mind... "A problem shared is a problem doubled" OP, leave the guy alone.

Very good point. Concerns how Jomtien set their own rules. They are not alone. Couple of other offices play by their own rule book. Fact is with over 70 immigration offices (most doing the right thing) posts/threads about Jomtien muddy the waters.

That to a certain extent is true. Good example is this thread. Too many errors in the OP to correct. Any reference to Jomtien should be avoided as they are rogue/incorrect in many areas.

Good question. Weird thread trying to join dots. Did not mention TM30 for change of address to Phitsanulok so guessing TM47 was to CW

Ridiculous. BTW your gf is not a visa expert. A standard requirement for 30 day extension for tourist visa or visa exempt entry is to provide a TM30. As per the post above mine ..your many posts make very little sense.. Please try and post in constructive way or not at all if not sure of your advice.

Exactly what did you provide for extension. Photocopies of basic pp pages? TM30? Obviously TM7 Photo 1900b

I was not aware of that. Being with Kasikorn that will be handy. Currently I'm transferring monthly 65k+ with plan to switch from money in bank to income method (October) for next extension. Being Oz need to show 12 monthly transfers. Suggest anyone doing likewise to maintain funds in bank requirement "just in case" any issue with immigration.

The way round that would not have been difficult. You could have opened another bank account dedicated to immigration matters. Bangkok Bank, Kasikorn and SCB commercial bank do not have the 50k limit that you refer to. The limit for those 3 banks is 2m. Handy for things such as realestate purchases. If the codes are not FTT then you can obtain credit advice from the receiving bank to show funds were transferred from overseas

I was addressing a post re need to provide some proof of real estate sale to whichever institution you opt for. I mentioned DEE Money (which many folk use)

Spot on. Not long ago I paid a UK guy 3million in cash baht in buying a condo. Suggested he use DEE.. (branch in Asoke) He rang later to state he required proof of sale of realestate. Not a big deal
