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. -
Retirement Visa Requirements / Criteria
DrJack54 replied to djeetyet's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
You are just mixing various things into one pot. For first extension (money in bank method) a three month bank statement would be sufficient. For ongoing extensions a 12 month bank statement would be required. Note some offices would just accept bank book and photocopies of pages. Health insurance is only required for extensions from a Non O-A for retirement. Not required for extensions from a Non O-A for marriage. Medical certificate: I'm only aware of one office that requires that. Is that Samui? In the main most offices are consistent with minor variations. Such as one may require a eg TM30 and another office Not. etc -
Visa Exempt 30 day extension
DrJack54 replied to Sam555's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I stated ,..."certainly not best immigration office" First cab of the rank is that were requiring 2 months seasoning for Non O retirement application from visa exempt entry. That is just a made up nonsense. Also they run hot and cold on TM30 for things such as extensions. etc. You posted...."That thread is over a year old and not relevant to how it is now.". The OP asked what docs are required for 30 day extension. The links I posted have replies that list the docs. What have you posted to assist the OP. Ans Zip. -
When I did a mock run with the TDAC, I put country of residencee: Australia (even though I live in Thailand). In turn for phone number it auto filled had +61. That's country code for Oz. I tried to change it to Thailand+66 and it didn't like that. (maybe it was me) Anyway I subsequently put a random Oz cell #. No problem. Do you expect they plan to give you a bell to say hi.

arriving to thailand on the weekend
DrJack54 replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
No problem. However wherever he is staying they can do a TM30 online and provide him with copy. No need for him to bother with trip to immigration. -

DrJack54 replied to Jack1988's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
What will be his status in Thailand. Entering visa exempt? Does he plan to have business with immigration? Example obtain an extension etc If not do nothing. Edit: posted at same time. You mention border bounce. He should use a minivan border run company. -

What is the point. Every immigration office is different. In fact even some immigration officers take their own spin. The guy I just quoted above asked advice regarding CW.
