Which immigration office. Some offices do the 90 day report when someone does an extension. In reality 90 day reports have nothing to do with extensions.

Warning: for all my banging on about obtaining reentry permit and it's a breeze. It ain't. I'm currently sitting in substantial que at DMK. Advice is to allow lot of extra time. Very few farang in the que.

It's unusual for airline to ask for onward ticket if you have a visa. Certainly the case for airlines to request onward flight if flying visa exempt. You clearly are well aware of what to do if refused by airline. Step away from counter and book a "throw away flight'' Obviously you require internet.

Can be both. Certainly it's more often than not an airline requirement. Thai immigration does not have that as a requirement. Some nearby countries immigration do. Attempting to fly to Thailand with less than 6 months validity the issue will be with the airline at departure.

Frankly don't understand some threads. After your last post two folk have suggested that check validity of your Non O-A (if indeed that's what you have) . You were online in last hour and contribute nothing. Actually I'm flying to Saigon tomorrow and obtaining multi reentry at DMK. Normally would post a report of experience. But nup ..what's the point.

Not everyone use Bangkok Bank. Many threads with reports of issues. This thread attached is Bangkok Bank specific. https://aseannow.com/topic/1275217-wise-money-transfer-now-not-showing-as-international-transfer/

For the number of visits per year you outlined you will have zero issues. As you are aware the visa exempt entry (30 days) can be extended by 30 days.

It's actually "for long term stay" The last option for "reason for transfer" It does not guarantee will be shown as FTT. I use Kasikorn which is also partner bank with WISE.

OP, There is no 180 day rule. However as correctly pointed out above , the io may question why you are not using non O with extension and reentry permit. However you mention "2 or 3 times per year" Zero issues with that. Many tourists visit far more often than that each year.

Along with appointment required

Speaks volumes. Very foolish from the OP.

Good point. I see this now. The OP states the following..... "If I apply for my extension in mid November, will I need to remain here until 4th Dec to get it in my passport" Clearly not aware of the process. He will receive extension on day of application and can also obtain reentry permit on same visit or at airport.

He is 100% not asking about flight. The OP is foolish to plan international travel and have a border line expiry date on pp. As I posted earlier Thailand immigration does not impose the 6 month validity rule however airlines do. Also many nearby countries immigration do have that requirement.

Thinking the OP exits prior to window for obtaining 12 month extension. If it was not his first extension he could provide evidence of applying early. He needs to season his funds in bank so guessing applying early is not an option. Re the 21 days that you mention for CM.....that is about applying for Non O. He already has that

A political thread. Must be a forum for that surely.

OP, Thailand immigration does not have 6 month pp validity rule however many airlines do.

Do you mean Non O-A. If so is the visa still valid. If the visa is valid it's a multi entry visa..

Yes. Office immediately AFTER passport control

Meant Udon Thani.

Have a TM30 for your application for 30 day extension

As Nike suggests..." Do It"

OP, your plan is crazy. If you enter visa exempt obtain a 30 day extension. You mention Vietnam. Excellent option especially if you have visa exempt to Vietnam. After return to Thailand visa exempt obtain another 30 day extension. You did not mention how long you wish to stay in Thailand.

Should be other way round. Reenter via land Have you used your 2 visa exempt entries via land per calendar year. Seems you are between rock and hard place. Time to leave Thailand for a period.. Edit: notice you have used land border entries. How long have you been in Thailand. Do not enter via air without a visa.

Initially when I assumed only one setv I would suggest flight Bangkok to Saigon return a take mini holiday. Many countries visa exempt to Vietnam. That still could be option if you could provide letter supporting application for Non B. Irrelevant but never understand why folk what same day reentry to Thailand.
