No limit on number of visa exempt entries via air. However depends on history of stays in Thailand, especially if back to back very little time spent out of Thailand.

The extension is 30 days and it's added to your existing expiry date. You most likely require a TM30. Ask hotel to provide screenshot of it.. Short stay is fine

Agree. I obtained 12 month extension Oct 4 using 800k+ in bank all year round for many years I will now start 65k+ monthly transfers and also maintain the 800k until my next extension. At that point with 12 months of transfers I can use that ongoing method ongoing. If there is a snag I can fall back on money in bank method. (Oz pp no embassy letter available)

I don't really follow the logic. When I previously had travelled to Thailand (my early years) I entered with aud $ (not small amounts. I then would exchange at SuperRich green into Thai baht and deposit into my Thai bank account. Subsequently use WISE (popular with USA and many others) To transfer funds out of Thailand is not so simple. DEE Money is able to do this. For large amounts it requires additional information. Not long ago I purchased a condo from a UK guy. After I paid him (cash) he required proof of sale of the condo for DEE to facilitate the transfer back to his UK bank. OP, to me your plan sounds fishy or at best unusual. Money laundering?

You could talk with agent such as Maneerat Soi 13/2. If the bank account is required as first step to a non O.,,..be aware of difficulties with that in Jomtien.

So naive. It is complicated. Then you state above get advice from mates re agent. If you had stated location you may have received good advice. For example if in Pattaya folks would have suggested various agents. Same goes for other provinces.

It is 100% relevant. If you post your location you will receive accurate advice. For example in Bangkok you will not be able to open bank account from tourist visa or visa exempt entry. What's the big secret providing location.. Almost certainly you will need an agent.

The point is many guys use a ME non O marriage. If ongoing want to do turn around same day via air that imo is foolish. If you want to park backside in Thailand without need to exit then obtain non O based on marriage with annual extensions. The financial requirements are very minimal.

Always find these similar threads interesting. Guess folk have their reasons but why not make it a short holiday. Surely can't be about missing the wife for few nights.

That is correct however the OP would have prepared the photo page of his pp as part of his application Just upload same for this. It's not about residency. It's about having citizenship or having permanent residency status in country where someone is applying.

Every immigration office should do it.

You can change in November. However just to cover any nonsense from immigration keep doing the monthly transfers until your Nov extension stamp is in the pp

You mention $16 which is on the website for "onward ticket " you do not need to make the booking 24hr prior. In any event if you are issued a Visa...I very much doubt airline will have issue giving you a boarding pass. Visa exempt different situation..

Pub section at best or general chat forum.

You have it covered. Just make sure that your monthly transfers are shown to from abroad.. Your bank will know what you require.

Look at your bank book. See if there have been any months without a transaction or if you use account often there is a possibility of consolidated transactions. In any event a 12 month bank statement (other than Bangkok bank) can be issued on the spot 200b Not an issue.

Why plural. Entering visa exempt would require one border bounce. The only option for visa to cover 90 days is a non O. Tourist visa would require an extension. Many would find side trip to somewhere like Saigon enjoyable. It was only one option that I mentioned. I also stated in another post "If you intend to be based in Phuket then a non O or tourist visa good options." "Ridiculous" in YOUR mind , I'm not surprised given track record.

Many use sites such as "onwardticket.com" Works fine or step away from counter and book throw away ticket.

If you intend to be based in Phuket then a non O or tourist visa good options. Amazed you were given hard time at Phuket airport. Quite ridiculous given your history. Just for future info land border bounce would not have been an issue.

Tend to disagree. For 90 days you could even enter visa exempt obtain 30 day extension and do one border bounce. Being UK you could even take your child for weekend visit to somewhere like Saigon or go alone. The non O is not ridiculous, just showing that there are several options. Lot depends on where you will be based in Thailand.

How long do you wish to stay in Thailand for this visit.

Photo page of your passport cuts it..

Completely agree. Hadn't seen that video. Watch that guys blogs often.

OP, zero issues. For your visa exempt flights, have your onward flights on hand to show airline at departure. Screenshot is fine.

Again with you. The OP has one zero posts prior to this thread. May have little time remaining on his/her permission of stay. Pointing out that he/she could buy some time with a 30 day extension to plan next steps. Perhaps not even aware of border runs + extension. I pointed out that was not directly addressing the issue. As usual where have you helped Peanut gallery member.
