I don't believe so. Sites such as this one from TAT ... Emphasize arrival.. In the short video (good one) ..it does not even mention the departure field. https://www.tatnews.org/2025/04/thailand-digital-arrival-card-system-set-to-launch-on-1-may-2025/#:~:text=Completion of the TDAC will,entering using a Border Pass.

The ME Non O is a visa with a validity of 1 year. You can enter Thailand and will be given 90 day stamp every entry while visa is valid. By exiting Thailand and reenter just prior to expiry of Visa you will be given a 90 day stamp. Once visa (not the stamp) has expired you would need to obtain a reentry permit to exit and reenter Thailand. You have most likely read previously that a ME Non O can provide stay of almost 15 months. That's due to what is outlined above

How to Expedite extension processing

Thinking the hours you posted (3.30pm) is correct. I certainly would not arrive during lunch break as you need to hop onto long line at 1pm to enter. Then also obtain Queue ticket. -
To apply for 12 month extension of stay based on marriage you require the 400k in bank for 2 months prior to application. That application will then have an under consideration period (perhaps a month). The funds should remain in the account till final stamp is entered. Depending on immigration office you would/may also have a home visit. The thing with annual extensions based on marriage is that travel during this time can be problematic due to home visit. I did not examine your dates...expiry and planned trip to check if feasible. As mentioned the 60 day extension to visit wife could be used to buy time and push back the extension date application. Plan B: Yes if after your trip you enter Thailand visa exempt you could obtain a Non O marriage at your local immigration office and then obtain 12 month extension. That process is explained here and that thread has links to similar thread. Take note of TM87 form required. https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/

I remember the OP now from this thread: https://aseannow.com/topic/1351622-e-visa-do-you-still-need-to-print-it/ That was also vague. Seems OP entered Thailand with a single entry tourist visa (e-Visa) and that would have given him a 60 day permission of stay stamp. (He has no visa) Seems now wishes to go to CW for 30 day extension. Apart from basic copies of pp immigration most likely require a TM30.

Appointments are not required for services at CW including extensions. In addition currently appointment slots are few and far between. Here is appointment link for anyone wanting that. The booking window is up to one month in advance: https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ I'm not sure what status the OP has and what he is attending immigration for.

You would not be obtaining a single entry Non O. You could apply for a 12 month extension based on marriage. That would require 400k seasoned for 2 months. Also has an under consideration period. Have you obtained 60 day extension "to visit wife". Keep in mind that you can reenter Thailand visa exempt and obtain a single entry Non O at local immigration office. That would require 400k in bank on day of application. Subsequently you could obtain 12 month extension.

That someone is correct. Here is old thread discussing working online. https://aseannow.com/topic/1231219-work-remotely/ DTV would be perfect fit however the person already has a lovely PE Visa. Do as @JB300 suggested earlier. https://aseannow.com/topic/1258973-working-online-in-thailand-for-foreign-company/

How to Expedite extension processing
DrJack54 replied to DogNo1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
When I haven't been able to obtain appointment at CW my plan B is to arrive just prior to 12 to obtain que ticket. Use lunch break to update bank book and make small deposit. At 1pm when doors open those with que tickets are admitted first. Yes from there it's sit and wait Some discussion in this thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1352304-retirement-visa-or-marriage-visa-extension-at-very-old-age/ -
How to Expedite extension processing
DrJack54 replied to DogNo1's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Assume that the extension is based on retirement? There are good agents in Bangkok. ThaiVisaCentre is one example -
1. Not important. You can put your address in Thailand or even pp country. As for the accommodation part of your question ...what you outlined is overkill but yes would work if can upload. 2. Yes. Just use your flight back to Thailand. 3. No Note: you may wish to take some proof of funds in bank for the e-Visa application

Visa Exempt 30 day extension
DrJack54 replied to Sam555's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Doesn't take long to find MANY posts regarding Jomtien. Here is one from random thread from @Rob Browder "Also, if one is applying for the 90-Day Non-O in Thailand, you don't need to "season" the money for 2 months for this - only for the 12-month extension. Same-day 800K in the bank is fine for the initial 90-Day Non-O. The exception is Jomtien , where the lady who operates that desk will insist on non-rules seasoning OR a 15K Baht cash payoff - that scam being ongoing for many years" Clearly your first hand experience is not regarding visa exempt to Non O. Yep rogue office also in regards to how early the 30 day extension can be applied for. https://aseannow.com/topic/1318842-jomtien-immigration-still-same-30-day-extensions-can-only-be-done-1-business-day-prior/ -
Visa Exempt 30 day extension
DrJack54 replied to Sam555's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The OP asked a very simple question. " Simple question is what documents do I need to bring to my local immigration to extend a 60 day exempt for 30 days?" If you have first hand experience then reply to the OP directly.
