It's tied to airline insisting on onward flight for visa exempt plans to visit Thailand. That is still very much the case. Your posts re a particular airline is misleading and certainly not the norm regarding no need to attend airline for boarding pass and check. You being Oz need eVisa for Vietnam. Take a trip and you will find airline check in required. Also on return to Thailand same. Online check in not available. Oz to Vietnam (just one example) the same.

He has made a mistake. Rather than 2000 he paid 1900b for 30 day extension..

You have stated that many times. Try flying Jetstar or eg Vietjet out of Brisbane or other Oz airports and see how it works out

Certainly not my experience. I travel a LOT. When I fly out of Oz to Vietnam I need to attend airline desk and they examine my eVisa to Vietnam with fine tooth comb. When I fly DMK to Saigon (every 2 months) same deal. When I fly Melbourne to BKK Jetstar they ask for my reentry permit. Not to long ago with new pp the airline required my old pp as it contained reentry permit.

Thinking good advice for folk doing border bounce in future is to use "visa run" agents (minivan) . They can advise current situation.

First up thanks for report. So this other guy wasn't prepared to spend one night in Laos and walked away. Weird

Return flight not required. It can be any onward flight within the 60 days and may be required by the airline. You omitted age 70yr in OP. For frequent stays in Thailand being over 50 he has options eg non O retirement.

Agree. A random comment from an IO and the OP is building a bridge to link taxation concerns. Nonsense imo..

Flying into CNX he should be fine. If refused entry he would return to KL. Obviously best plan to have cash with him and a clear outline of what he plans to do. (itinerary). eg any accommodation details etc.

You are mixing two methods. Your OP refers to income method then post re funds in the bank method. Using funds in the bank immigration will not question origin on funds. Regarding income method....without income letter from embassy immigration MAY ask to see evidence of source of funds eg pension statement etc. In most cases a 12 month bank statement showing monthly deposits (best on regular date) will be sufficient. Your statement..... "Prelude to taxing us and guesstimating how much long stayers might be able to be milked?" is meaningless.

Can be done via mail

Old thread however may give advice. https://aseannow.com/topic/1076649-lost-my-yellow-book-how-to-get-replacement/

Is this such a big deal. Some immigration offices provide COR free. Some ie CW charge 200 per certificate. The most I have read is 800. Note: for others if COR required for both car and bike just request ONE. Transport office will accept photocopy.

That is not the case at CW. To obtain a COR you will require a TM47 receipt. Not possible on visa exempt or tourist visa.

This thread has gone straight to bickering and nonsense posts. Thread closed

In that case obtain the non O retirement in Oz and upon entry to Thailand you will be given a 90 day stamp. In the last 30 days apply for the 12 month extension. I'm also Oz and use WISE to transfer funds to Thai bank account. If you can park 800k all year round that's a good option.

You can enter visa exempt to Thailand and obtain a non O retirement at your local immigration office. OR obtain a non O retirement at a Thai consulate. Which immigration office allowed the first extension to be made based on retirement.

Most likely not. The first extension from a non O should be based what the non O was. In your case on marriage. Subsequent extensions can be based on retirement

Helpful report. 👍

Cannot advise. You either have a valid non O-A or on extensions or whatever. How can you post "I think"

You are trolling the thread. Please refrain. Recent reports of Nong Khai same day exit reentry. @Pattaya57 post correct

Have removed some posts and replies.

Won't remove you post. The point is post first hand report or post nothing

Another long post focussing on taxation is Removed. Read the OP. It's clear.

What reason you attended immigration? If it's eg 30 day extension then you required printout of TM30 from where you are staying. Phone pic never cuts it.
