So for your first extension based on retirement you met the financial requirements and maintained that till your next extension? So what did the agent do. Hand holding?

Your hotel should file a TM30. When a tourist checks into a hotel they should make sure the hotel is doing that and can provide you with screenshot of that filing if they plan to obtain 30 day extension. It's just a single line with basic info.

That provides much more flexible options, especially you suggesting he can (within reason) stay over night at mothers. Even better if both children can stay at your place when it suits both parents. I'm sure that you are aware as a parent of Thai child you can obtain annual extensions based on being parent of Thai. Having child living with you is not a condition of that application

Seriously! They are meant to do what is best for the children. You are not splitting financial assets here. The concern is siblings. What I don't understand is why keeping children together and you being given as much visitation rights as possible including overnight stays etc. Holidays away etc was not the preferred option. If you can't or don't want to live in same area as the mothers home then that becomes difficult.

Of course it's not. You are 100% correct.... madness to separate siblings.

16 years old. He will do his own thing soon enough and in meantime you are on fast tract to lose contact with both kids. The judge was a fool to approve/order the siblings to be separated. Ludicrous. More likely a bad idea from someone else.

Selected just this one sentence. Could have selected any as you seem to have no idea. Your son would be better off with the mother and family assuming she is a loving caring mother.

Apart from requirements posted above... I think Jomtien are only processing 30 extensions within last couple of weeks of your permission of stay stamp.

In his previous thread (April 6) he was not on overstay at that point. Mentioned plan to exit May..

Don't leave it till that late You require minimum 15 days remaining on permission of stay. Some offices eg CM 21 days. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only?

What does "few visa exempt entries" mean. The maximum visa exempt entries per calendar year via land is TWO.

I find that amazing. In the sense that the route you describe Saigon to Bangkok with those airlines would be 100% requiring onward flight.

You are typing about visa exempt via air. Current posts are about visa exempt via land. Border bounce. In any event all off topic as don't think OP has stated Russian nationality

Think you are missing my point. The company referred to is a visa agent. Have not seen any official link from immigration that states Russian nationals can do unlimited visa exempt border bounces. Perhaps a blind eye but I cannot find anything actually stated by immigration rules.

Your pp is actually the property of UK gov. It's basically illegal for you to do anything to your pp. BTW: most countries cut of scan strip . Also generally place stamp in pp confirming that any visas, reentry permits etc are still valid

Can you provide "no limit" via land visa exempt entry for Russian pp holders link..

That's funny.

Did the OP state that he has Russian pp. The quote you posted from visa company may refer to current situation for Russians. Certainly not the norm .

Depends on your passport.

I recall that thread and that chap was trolling along the lines of "stand your ground" and insist upon entry to Thailand visa exempt. Eventually stated Russian pp holder. There are couple of countries with unlimited border entries. Malaysia being one. My understanding is Russia is not.

You started a thread April 6 re exit Thailand may. And we're given good advice. Ignored that and now thread with overstay. Seriously ridiculous. Suggest you fly out asap as overstay fine is simple process at airport. Why require money from WU. You don't have internet banking with foreign credit card at the very least.

Most of that period has been due covid. With all the "covid extensions" and amnesty. Try doing the same over next year period. Many posts such as this ignoring covid Current threads are about future situation where past few years irrelevant.

Via air think it's 90 days visa exempt. Not sure re border entries.

Fast tract is no different to other lanes. Same scrutiny.

The "brother " of friends works in Thailand doing online teaching. Lives in Thailand continuously with TV. Rubbish. Perhaps you are referring to covid 2 year period. That has past. As for your situation....tick tok. You cannot sustain ongoing stay in Thailand using tourist visas. Folk wanting to have ongoing living in S.E.A can combine living in Thailand with substantial stays in other countries . Such as Vietnam. These threads are in the main fitting a round peg in square hole. Thailand has some of the most flexible options available including PE visa etc. Back to back ongoing SETV not an option.
