let’s hope Savannakhet continues to issue the Multi Entry Non O

Hopefully.

So 50yr ? ......you could consider non O retirement with annual extensions.

Has no under consideration period.

That gives me 120 days in the country before I have to leave????

 is that correct?

Correct.

Sweet deal for married folk..

Or enter with a non O (90 days) and obtain 60 extension to visit wife.

= 150 days and only one visit to immigration

Plan to get Multi Entry Non O from Savannakhet with 400k seasoned in Thai Bank (Just incase). 

This is your best option.

In the old days visa exempt entry for oil gas worked fine 

However you have options such as you mentioned and most likely pushed towards using multi Savannakhet.

How old. 

Edit: you are married to Thai .

Non O marriage with annual extensions not an option due to under consideration period?

Can you leave get a re-entry permit and go and come back until the end of the 150 days? 

Yes, however how long would you like to remain in Thailand.

There may be other options

OP, apart from thread  mentioned above there is thread dealing with taxation.

Suggest look for advice there.

Here one example.

 I’m here on a tourist visa and have used my two air entries for the calendar year. My current visa extension expires May 22 but I will be in the country until late June

Need to sort out your history for good advice.

At a guess you entered Thailand visa exempt and obtained 30 day stamp? 

Assume you obtained a 30 day extension.

Exited Thailand and repeated that process.

That would mean almost 4 months ending May 22.

To cover your stay till late June suggest you do a border bounce via land for another visa exempt entry.

So I can do a standard 30 day extension and then follow it up with a 60 day to visit wife? 

Yes.

Obtain the 30 first followed by the 60.

Wife needs to be with you for the 60 extension to visit wife.

For the 30 extension you would apply IT mall LakSi.

You can make an appointment. 

Depending on the amount of time you require, you could consider obtaining a 30 day extension followed by 60 day extension to visit wife. 

Requirements for the 60 day extension discussed in this thread

I never used a re-enter permit before, how does one work, you apply they give you a stamp for a re-enter permit, you leave Thailand, and when return would they know automatically that you have a re-enter permit or you have to tell them you have it?

Reentry permit protects your current permission of stay.

Can be a Single reentry permit or multi.

Cost 1000 and 3800 respectively.

Can be obtained at immigration or airport on date of departure from Thailand.

Requires a TM8 form , a photo and basic photocopies from pp.

Good idea to point out the reentry permit. 

The stamp is half page in size

is it easier to get a multi entry visa in Suvarnabhumi airport  or Chaengwattana.

Piece of cake at the airport.

The desk is Zone 2 after security and prior to passport control.

As mentioned above they offer 200b service option which includes photo.

I posted pictures of desk in this current threads.

According to her, it may be crowed and I may have to choose between my flight and a re-entry permit.

She is wrong

Exit without reentry permit and your permission of stay is gone. 

Over and out.

Nothing can be done at immigration when you reenter.

What "visa" or extension did you have.

You can return visa exempt and be stamped in 30 days and then obtain a non O retirement or marriage at immigration office.

Obviously requires financials 

TM6 not required..

Gets better than that. Do a border bounce from samui ( long day) . Even with multiple entry non o you have to pay extra 1 thousand baht to the  agency who then pays the i.os at said land border crossings on 1 day trip. So you can get back in ext . At least you get to ware a neck lace with the agents name on it so the i.os know have have paid

Seems to be common place for some border bounce same day.

I hate that saying "it is what it is" 

However seems to sum up the reality.

Thanks in advance for any info from people who have recently done this type of border bounce into Laos at the Vientiane Friendship Bridge.

What you outline is 100% ok.

I do need my daughter's Thai ID card, which has the same address as mine, as well as some kind of proof that she is actually living with me. Documents from school take care of that requirement. 

Thinking this good advice however the OP child not even currently in Thailand.

The OP needs plan B imo.

Misinformation 

3 hours ago, benlovesnuk said:

The '60 day' he mentions, he specifically describes as an extension, he never mentions it as being a non O, not even in the quote you type under, misrepresenting his words, he correctly refers to it as an extension in that quote in relationship to the Non O visa single entry, which he correctly attributes the correct nomenclature to it.

He states,

"We can get a 60 day *extension* on the "Single-entry Non O based on marriage" for "visiting Thai spouse"

He then asks,

"My question is, can I get the one year "Non O based on marriage" extension whilst I am here on the 60 day extension to visit Thai spouse?"

 

To which your answer should be, yes, (as mine would be because ive done this countless times) though you choose quite consciously, like many asean now cave dwellers on here, the high pompous road, through your explanation of repeating back to him what he asked of you. Yet, with the incorrect assertion you made, that he, not you, had confused and conflated wrongly the extension and the non O.

He does indeed state 1 year extension with the parenthesis of relating it to the visa it is associated with, and instead of using brackets he uses quotation marks, but again thats not your quibble, its something to do with 60 days something or other...??..? Which clearly is an aberration of your mind, rather than real world events recorded that we minions under your rule can observe.

 

Extensions are relative to their visa types, how do i know this, ive done many in almost 20 years ive been here and ive heard many authorities in immigration use this description of them, not least on their websites and because even they themselves get it wrong as professionals in the field. Where extensions are described, exactly as this gentleman had done so, with relationship to its visa that one is extending the permission of stay based upon, that criteria for applying for how it is regulated and what criteria must be presented.

Eg. Can i get an extension relating to my visa non O that i would be applying for if instead i use business visa criteria? No. They are different. Ergo, the need for specificity in description of the relevant visa one wishes to extend, in asking a question about its constituent extension. 

 

Which by any young persons eyes and acuity, like my own, could tell, seems to be this constant attempt by many 'long standing members' on here to tell those seeking reasonable advice on state regulated obfuscated rules of law, the difference between a visa, an extension, and on, so much so, you see things that arent even there, just so you can point them out in your self appointed post no one cares for.

 

You and many other high priests on here, (unlike other gentleman dearly missed) get push back and scorn all the time for this irreverant behaviour, and yet, you persist, and we should not be surprised, as you well know, you cant teach an old... farang civil restraint when scoring vacuous points on a forum they hold court in, its far more approriate to this ignominious old /new gaurd protecting the sacred secrets of immigration nomenclature regarding visas and extensions from unholy exageration or misuse... as if it matters, or has ever mattered 1 bit.

 

Ridiculous rant.

Too many errors to correct.

From the OP to my post...

"Thank you, that's what I was hoping, and trying to say in the OP." 

Post advice to OP rather than rant.

DrJack54 - Noted. Thanks as I wasn't aware of that.

If you are handy to immigration might be worth having chat with them re your circumstances.

Perhaps a 'work around' is to leave Thailand via Land Border ( Laos or Cambodia ) and re-enter Visa Exempt.

That would kill off the non O and he would need to start over.

However might be only option

Yes they provide 200b service fee if you want. Yes same service as Suvarnabhumi 

They are very quick.

My last one was peak season and first time ever there was large que.

They got through them super quick. 

The office is just past immigration control.
