Hospital stay has nothing to do with anything. The issue covered in many threads is doing 90 day report online when someone has stayed anywhere be that hotel, hospital etc. I suggest if you had made TM47 in person or via mail no TM30 would be required (at most offices)

Excellent report. Thanks.

You can book few days accom eg Agoda fully refundable. Does not require entire stay.

Yes. 30 day extension no issue.

Read my post carefully. I stated visa EXEMPT. Not suggesting tourist visa at Saigon. Mind you tourist visa available at Thai consulate Saigon. Requires appointment

Bit off topic ....if the visa exempt ever changes to 60 days, consider Saigon a nice way to obtain 60+30 stay in Thailand.

He is referring to his previous plan to obtain the (mentioned in press) of NEW 60 day visa exempt. I will believe it when I see it.

https://aseannow.com/topic/1300020-question-regarding-applying-for-an-evisa/ I was under the impression that to obtain an eVisa for Thailand in Hong Kong you need to have residency status. https://hongkong.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visa-info?menu=5d84804a15e39c03c800281e

Permanent Resident

Not everything has appointments available at CW. Certificate of residence one example. Transfer of stamps another. You can obtain que ticket at front desk. https://aseannow.com/topic/1306581-transferring-visa-to-a-new-passport/ Note: the thread attached has link to form CW use. On back of form lists requirements. Also take note of my post that if you are on extension retirement using money in bank method you need to provide bankbook and photocopies of pages for current extension and bankbook update. Here is link to form download https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=939160&key=2e63bc0d8abee18369df31b777516cb4

No. You require a TM7 + Photo + photocopies of basic pages of pp + TM30+ 1900b

Valid point. My point is that since OP opening comment was..... "Due to the uncertainty re my marriage...." He should have an alternative back up plan. Citizenship in particular bridge too far in short term. He works for the wife it would seem so any divorce would limit his options. Hence my first post asking his age.

Which immigration office

Discussed in recent threads https://aseannow.com/topic/1329800-my-90-day-online-report-was-rejected-due-to-the-hotel-in-bkk-that-i-stayed-at-last-week/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1329240-tm30-question/

200b is optional service at both Bangkok airports. I always do my own TM8 with photos etc. My many multi reentry cost 3800. Up to you.

What's that mean. Did you provide a copy of TM30, meaning photocopy. Who cares what's stapled into pp

Please post your knowledge of obtaining Thai citizenship time frame and requirements

The OP has indicated no history for path to both options. If marriage ends as the OP indicated then stop gap shift to extensions based on retirement enables ongoing stay in Thailand

How rude. If over 50 you have option to change from extension based on marriage to based on retirement. Your opening line..... "Due to the uncertainty re my marriage".. Far easier to switch to based on retirement while still married. Edit: I was thinking reply was from OP. So @advancebooking give OP advice. My guess you have none

Age?

That's correct. Agents don't do stamps etc. That's done by immigration. Hence your permission of stay was date same as pp expiry. OP, needs to clear up his situation

Good summary. The multi is 3800 and single 1000..

So are living in Thailand on extensions of stay from a non O. How can your current permission of stay "admitted till date" be outside your passport expiry date?

What visa do you have

From thread link I posted earlier from OP report January annual extension CW.... "I was not asked for TM30 on any other documents. I don’t know if it was checked, but my last 90-day receipt was attached to my passport." Just shows how variable offices can be. BTW I have never done a TM30 in my 12 yrs at CW. I notice now CW require TM47 for annual extension.
