I did read it. Long winded for "autofill " You will need to report in person. Happened to me once online for CW. ALWAYS accepted the online report using autofill. Then rejected due to "no room number" (condo). Bottom line is needed to report in person.. BTW rejected for next online also. No reason given

Covered by ubonjoe first reply. Thanks for the Legacy joe. https://aseannow.com/topic/1058510-changing-from-non-b-to-non-o-visa/

OP, not sure why you needed to enter address. After initial couple of fields there is magnifying glass for "autofill" Did you use that?

OP, you mention "my family" . What is not clear is the nationality of your family. If you have Thai wife then a good option is 12 month extension based on marriage to a Thai. A

Upon death of Thai spouse it's common practice for extension to remain valid until expiry. That is not the case regarding divorce where upon divorce the current permission of stay ends. In that situation one can apply for extension and being denied will be given 7 days to exit Thailand (it's not an extension) . Or simply exit Thailand and return with another option such as visa exempt, tv etc. If someone has a ME non O marriage from eg Savannakhet then that visa remains valid upon death of spouse. Your suggestion earlier re use of agent for the OP seems the logical option to me. Would help if OP detailed where he lives to obtain best suggestions for use of agent.

Reading your OP again and again.. I'm surprised more folk did not suggested agent. Especially given necessity of wheelchair. You rule out going back to home country along with inadequate finances for extension based on retirement. You have not mentioned the province that you live in. Your options seem very clear to me as there ain't many.

Absolutely. Sadly think many expats haven't put all the necessary things into place. Myself included.

You need a Will in place. You refer to land and house hence in wife's name? There is a dedicated forum "marriage and divorce" which has lot of information along with some complicated stories.

Exactly. I was about to edit my post realizing that it was OP,s first extension from a Non O-A. He will need to apply based on retirement hence his plan to ditch the O-A and reenter visa exempt.

In the example you outlined a new TM30 would not be required. A new TM30 would be required for example if you exited without a reentry permit and and returned with new visa or visa exempt

You can apply for 60 day extension to visit wife. You do not need to "get rid of " your non O-A. An extension from a non O-A based on marriage does not require insurance. You do not need to exit country.

You have past immigration. That's what counts.

No for the first extension they will want to see 2 months of funds in bank.. Then maintained for 3 months after application then can be down to as low as 400k and back up to 800k two months prior to next extension. Note you need to apply for your extension with at least 15 days remaining on your permission of stay. Min 21 days at some offices.

No. You cleared immigration prior to expiry of your permit and were airside (past immigration). No issue.

OP, you will be able to remain until your current permission of stay expires (not the case for divorce) Since financials are out of the question for extension based on retirement, I suggest that you switch to using an agent. Where do you live?

I stated...."Off topic but useful to some...." The info I posted I stated did not directly address the OP question however the map link I posted provides Google map embedded with all the new rail lines including Pink line. Showing all the stations and directions. How have you assisted the OP. Nil

OP, news article today in "Pattaya Mail" ...like many similar articles it does not clarify things. Suggest you ignore all this fuss. Think it's aimed at certain offshore accounts rather than eg Pensions. Article header in Pattaya Mail "Thai Revenue offers glimmer of clarification on tax changes"

The bank letter can be obtained prior to date of extension. Suggest you obtain bank letter and bank statements day prior. CW wants to see activity in account on day of application so be lined up at bank door at 8.30am to update your bank book. Personally I prefer to make small deposit 100b That shouldn't be an issue to make your 8.30am appointment.

You need to get the credit advice from Bangkok Bank. You didn't receive the 12 month stamp for your most recent entry as you did not have insurance.

He was in forum 30 minutes ago. Just ridiculous not to address his own OP. Happens all the time. States in OP that he has valid non O-A. Waste of time.

Where did OP state that he has been obtaining ongoing extensions from his non O-A. The OP stated ...."My O-A visa expires on Dec 5 and I'll change to an O visa. " Just another example of confusion from OP,s that do not state correct information and expect helpful replies. Also do not contribute to their own thread.

Why would they request TM30. What did you provide

Or interrupt the continuity of your permission of stay.

Sorry missed the "pink line" comment. Off topic but useful to some.... If anyone wants to know the exact routes of future rail lines just Google "GregtoDiffer" this guy has provided link to all new lines and you can have it embedded into your Google maps. Great for those interested in real estate purchase through to place to live in Bangkok..

Not sure but think @Red Phoenix wrote a road map on this.
