Hearing from who re Maneerat. First hand report would be useful.

You just entered on SETV and asking about photo for 30 day extension. Immigration will not be interested. Note: anyone needing photo at CW, the stall located L1. Four photos 100b.

Off topic post removed (again)

Your understanding of the "until date" on the Non O is correct.

Current thread running. Thread closed

Application for extension can be done up to 30 days prior to expiry. 45 days at some offices eg CW, CM, PHUKET. I did not and it's irrelevant. You can study Thai language without any visa related to that. Your options are clear.

Very good suggestion. Note for using appointment option at CW take print out of appointment. Go to desk far right side of where tickets issued. You will be seen virtually straight away. For anyway doing car + bike just tick form for car. You can use photocopy for other application.

You would require 800k seasoned for 2 months in a Thai Bank account in your name only to obtain a 12 month extension. So you apply for that in last 30 days of stamp from the Non O Then ongoing financial requirements after extension granted. Along with reentry permit. Seems you don't have any clear intention re how long/often you wish to stay in Thailand. No interested in politics.

Don't know what "current political environment" refers to. In any even you suggest a stay of 2-3 months. Why even bother with Non O extension. Just obtain a Non O e-Visa to enter Thailand and be given a 90 day stamp. That's, it. No interaction with immigration at all. Alternatively enter visa exempt and receive 60 day stamp + obtain 30 day extension. That would require a TM30. Simple.

Currently online window is 2 weeks prior to due date till one week prior So basically only 7 days open. As suggested do it early as possible. OP if you have photocopies of your pp including last entry stamp you could do it via Mail. For mail post 15 days prior to due date.

Which has nothing to do with the OP report.

Agents do not deal with extensions based on marriage unless just for hand holding.. Also in many areas agents are not readily available.

That's the point there are no rules. Common example being that no stated limit on visa exempt entries via air. Leaves refused entry a raffle/Russian Roulette. It would be so easy to have clearly stated Rules. No Rules. No Consistently. No Idea.

OR they could consider the option of having clearly defined immigration rules without immigration offices just making up rubbish at a whim. Damn ridiculous imo.

The OP was not in Thailand when TDL expired. He is asking about renewal. Pointing out that TDL can be renewed up to 12 months after expiry.

What do you mean "I went to Cambodia" "Waiting for a phone call to go and pick it up".... Pick up what? Are we meant to guess... CAMBODIA INTER TOUR & TRAVEL https://g.co/kgs/TTw4YVP

Immigration can and sometimes do make a home visit for extension retirement. Don't concern yourself

What don't you understand. The OP is located in Pattaya. Meaning Jomtien immigration specific. He will obviously deal with Pattaya agent.

I think it is wishful thinking. I'm not a Thai basher but let's face it what you are planning to do makes work for immigration. As a result you might receive little and perhaps even negative advice.

Guess you have already tried dealing with Rayong immigration directly. Only a guess however a chat with one or two of the many agents in Pattaya might point you in right direction.

I actually stated... "Not the correct immigration office however CW report here" Meaning that I could find no reports from the office you mentioned. Offices have their individual quirks. The next best thing was to provide threads of gold standard office ie CW. Those threads have detailed lists similar to Tods post. BTW: CW is Chaengwattana immigration office.

No and the OP has no issue with just leaving Thailand.

Yes I jumped the gun.. Subsequently realize it's only certain routes as indicated in article I attached.
