You miss the point of the OP. He wanted to change banks.... "Last year I moved my money legally from Kasikorn to Krungsri"

My thinking .... Use safe entry service Here is link to guy just used it recently.

This maybe of no interest however person had extension of stay retirement and obtained a reentry permit and then exited and applied for DTV . Entered Thailand on the DTV with immigration either overlooking or ignoring the reentry permit Read post from @BrandonJT https://aseannow.com/topic/1343290-moving-from-retirement-to-dtv-question-having-both-at-the-same-time/

Spot on

how long since last visit. You stated 30 days . Now mention 4 months. If you mean 4 months out of Thailand in the past year then that's not good for visa exempt entry.

I can understand the immigration officer's reaction.

So that's 239 in approx one year That is pushing it The io especially given can see past Non O marriage having concerns regarding visa exempt entries. So this time you may have the e-Visa in time. When is actual date of flight to Thailand. Here is thread safe entry services. https://aseannow.com/topic/1355901-safe-entry-to-bkk/ Here is link to one agent. Several others available. https://www.facebook.com/61552069237778/posts/pfbid0Xpf5nqwkkDUDxYFujoZrAajCskXZAQFw9rJTf36278sk3YTFqBVCgLMyapk4gphvl/?app=fbl

Rather contradictory. So your knowledge is very limited re Jomtien. So you have never obtained a 30 day extension or for example applied for Non O from visa exempt entry..... That's from @Toby1947 So many reports on AseanNow regarding Jomtien having their own agenda. Could list many. Another example current thread chap asking about the "return to immigration office to show bankbook after 3 months" Guess which office asks for this nonsense. Name other offices that play that bogus card.

You have been out of Thailand for some months. Should not have an issue. Your last experience is not typical. There is guy that just used this @thai006 and had positive report entered visa exempt. Safe entry agents 4500b. Hopefully will post details Then just enter visa exempt.

Indeed. Obviously the one of interest is date of departure. At a guess folk would put what the entry stamp "admitted till date" would be? Should not be required till departure. Wasn't when TM6 was in play. Edit: error. The red star fields are compulsory. My mistake. Why/how would those fields be required on entry.

You would be aware that when a visa is issued it has an "enter before date" Would be nice if she could apply for the DTV while back home May/June and use it (activate it) after the Non O-A expiry

OP, regarding "two valid passports" From AI ...... "Yes, your old German passport is canceled and returned to you when you renew it. The old passport is marked as invalid and returned to you along with the new passport. This ensures you only have one valid passport at a time" I asked earlier which immigration office do you deal with. Be aware that for CW (extensions retirement) ...the immigration officer will require photocopies of bank book pages back to start of current extension along with update if bankbook to show financial compliance

Good summary of her situation. On the up side she has option for best category DTV (Workcation, digital nomad) . Met with young guy who obtained his e-Visa DTV in UK in 3 days so it's not a long process. As I mentioned she could go to nearby country for the e-Visa after Non O-A expiry Process time could be perhaps 5 working days.

Your new passport should invalidate your old pp. The expiry date of old pp is irrelevant. Any visas, reentry permit in old pp remain valid. No urgency to have stamps transferred however it's good practice. Best to attend immigration prior to next extension to do the transfer. Which immigration office for transfer?

You should not be asked for either for entering via air You have a multi entry Visa. An onward flight should not be required by airline nor funds by immigration. As for border bounce .,.it's hard to predict these days. Best to do the run with agent minivan. Obviously have your e-Visa print out and check stamp in is for 180 days.

In that case best to obtain DTV while in home country as e-Visa application can take a few days. Out of interest which category DTV is the plan?

OP, this quoted sentence is what you need to understand. When the Non O-A was issued (perhaps e-Visa) it has a validity period. Meaning the Visa has a shelf life. It's a multiple entry Visa. Any exit and reentry while it's still valid, you receive a 12 month permission of stay stamp. That explains why you read that Non O-A is good for a stay of almost 2 years provided appropriate insurance in place. That's not possible. She can wait till expiry of the Non O-A and exit Thailand. The DTV can be obtained at embassies/consulates. For example she could travel to somewhere eg Saigon and apply for DTV with the e-Visa platform. No need to apply in passport country as is required for the Non O-A.

He mentioned earlier has good health cover in Japan.... "My plan is to live in Thailand but due to health insurance of the country I live in which is very affordable, I can't really leave the PR and give it up and make Thailand my home. She knows that and understands that" Have no idea what health coverage he has. Also mentioned....." We both will have, ( I already have ) but our income is not up there where I can qualify for the appropriate marriage visa." As we know the financial requirements for a Non O marriage is (should be) not difficult. The saying "bridge too far" comes to mind for ongoing plan

Her current permission of stay should not be affected. When current permission of stay ends she needs to look at alternative. If over 50 she could change to extension based on retirement. Requires financials. Process outlined in this thread. Obviously that thread is general and mentions spouse attends immigration for change to retirement. Clearly different for deceased wife/husband. https://aseannow.com/topic/1294679-changing-marriage-extension-to-retirement/#elControls_18077110_menu This contrasts situation where divorce occurs. For divorce the permission of stay ends.

His future wife will live in Thailand. He is asking about not obtaining ongoing extensions based on marriage. Based on his roster plan, that being 3 months Thailand 3 months Japan he can wash and repeat. The two options would be.... 1. Visa Exempt entry + 30 day extension. That's while it continues to be 60 days. If not SETV+ extension. 2. A non O twice per year however that requires money in the bank at least for application.

He means that in order to move the funds into a new account by waiting till after the 3 months requiring 800k and then moved 400k into a new account. That way he always has .minimum of 400k after the 3 month 800k requirement.

Just picking one part of your OP. Having a job in Italy has zero impact on obtaining a Non O marriage. I suspect the io noticed past Non O entry. Meaning you have other options vs visa exempt entry. Yes a Non O e-Visa has financial requirements. 400k in Thai bank account for application. Suggest for ongoing visits to Thailand for total of 6 months + you consider other options.

That's a "visa exempt entry" Seems the immigration officer did not chat with you. Just looking through pp. I wouldn't be concerned. As for visa exempt flying from Oz (Jetstar?) ...did airline ask for onward flight?

A SETV or a visa exempt entry?

Best she just obtains Thai pp. Simple
