Most likely the OP has 12 month extensions from a non O-A. Annual extensions require insurance. This would be almost worst option.

OP asked about visa options to stay 50/50 in Thailand. Posts regarding tax considerations will be removed. Several threads dedicated to tax

Correct answers above. Added note: if obtaining a TDL both car and bike then just tick car. Transport office will accept the COR and a photo copy for bike licience. Important to provide most recent TM47 receipt. Added tip for CW...if your 90 day report window is open you can make an appointment for report and the same desk will process for the report and also COR. Show both applications to far right que counter There are no appointments for COR. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/

Putting temporary lock on this thread. Find it offensive even by pub forum threshold. Another mod welcome to re open.

Or via mail.

Indeed. My last two extensions at CW the TM47 receipt was required. For the 10 extensions prior to that never was required. TM30 was not asked for..

Any onward ticket within the 60 days is fine. Return ticket not required. Check out "onwardticket.com" as an option or buy cheapest throw away flight. You should not have a problem with immigration upon arrival.

In the past 12 months I have attended CW for the following at various dates. COR Annual extension (retirement) Transfer of stamps to new pp. 90 day report in person Several trips out of Thailand and reentry with a reentry permit. Never asked for a TM30

Print it.

Bit surprised. Your previous posts indicate frequent stays in Thailand using visa exempt entry. Only current entry from a non O retirement. So indeed...many over 50,s do use visa exempt entry for several months each year visits to Thailand

From the OP.... "50/50 or there abouts) between Thailand and their home country" Cambodia is not in the equation.

No

You best to indicate if it's 6 in 6 out as a block or collective. Also where based in Thailand

OP, mention immigration office for best advice. Some first hand reports in attached thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1309484-filing-a-first-time-tm30-when-you-own-and-live-in-a-condo-what-documents-are-needed-exactly/

If you decide to visit for short stay with return ticket that should not be an issue. For next return after that you can obtain eVisa non O in UK or enter visa exempt and obtain non O at local immigration office. If you do not have a Thai bank account in your name only then obtaining non O retirement in UK better option.

OP, you should be ok to return to Thailand visa exempt especially with proof of return flight. Have had copy print out. You mention AO.... Do you mean a non O-A? That you would obtain in UK? Not good option Edit: you state ...." I'm tempted to fly back this month (probably the 17th) for two weeks or 10 days to help with the move" You serious. One of the many things I find amazing about Thailand is that you can any level of assistance from services here. Stay in UK and send folding to help with move.

The OP has not posted since starting this thread. Zero interest and clarification. Thread closed.

Retirement not a problem. The OP concerns non O based on marriage and extensions based on marriage. Different requirements and process. OP,s wife may not be in Thailand

Old thread however some useful links. https://aseannow.com/topic/1211680-process-for-us-citizen-getting-married-in-thailand-ubon/

Assume NZ embassy..... Here is thread on subject https://aseannow.com/topic/1299025-income-affidavit-sample/

Cut and paste from ubonjoe post in old thread.... "The Kor Ror 3 is your fancy marriage certificate you got from the Amphoe. The Kor Ror 2 is the marriage registry. You or your wife can get one at any Amphoe for 20 baht. Some offices want them to be dated within 30 days of application. My wife gets a new one just before we go to apply for the extension."

You require 12 months of transfers of 40k +

Immigration office?

Thinking you have missed opportunity for good advice. No details of type of rental required. Your title mentions "house"

Your advice is poor and you have not understood the OP situation.
