I put the latter. End of current permission of stay

You will not have an issue.

You shouldn't It should be provided to immigration on arrival

If you had a extension based on retirement you also had a reentry permit. It's the reentry permit they wanted to see.

OP, has advice. Thread closed.

I have had immigration officer look at my bank book one month prior to previous extension. Very unusual that your agent is obtaining 12 month extension at CW. Did you meet the financial requirements over the previous 12 months?

You stated recently in another thread. "I have been doing retirement extensions at Immo/Bkk for the past 15 years"

OK so finally understand your situation. You need to have same agent obtain next 12 month extension. Ask agent where he obtained the Non O and 12 month extension. How many days left on current permission of stay. You may not have enough time. Where is agent located

What is your current situation. Did the agent also obtain you a 12 month extension? It's NOT "renew my retirement visa" No such thing. Seems that the agent opened bank account and obtained a Non O. That would give you a 90 day stamp. Then you tried to obtain the 12 month extension yourself and were rejected by immigration as your bank book did not reflect correct financial requirements.

He can apply for a Non O-A in UK OR can apply for single entry non O based on retirement

OP, your mistake was to use the agent to obtain the Non O based on retirement. You just needed to him to open bank account (approx 5k) You can either use agent to obtain 12 month extension and ongoing extensions together with reentry permit. OR Kill off you non O and when next returning to Thailand start process over. As pointed out you can obtain the Non O in the UK or simply enter Thailand visa exempt or tourist visa and obtain the Non O at Thai immigration. You have the bank account so just meet the Financials and no need for agent.

OP, you should outline exactly what you plan to do apart from renew one of your passports. You stated in part...... "....to legally stay in Thailand " What's the plan here

The point is that ongoing ,especially back to back visa exempt entry via air will end up in denied entry from immigration upon landing.

That's not correct. Make up your mind what onward flight you provided. Rent a ticket or real throw away ticket. In any event she was admitted. Absolutely not surprised she was questioned. Good luck with next visa exempt entry.

Most naive post of the week/month. You make one valid point. There is no stated limit on visa exempt entries. However many folk rejected entry if this is used as ongoing living in Thailand.

Find it whatever you wish.... You are wrong This comment earlier is correct.. "Thai Embassy system and Thailand internal entry are totally separate systems."

You are confused. A throw away flight refers to a real ticket booked and paid for. Simply not used. A rent a ticket from companies such as "onwardticket.com " also work . Zero issues. Please post facts

Read some earlier posts from @Liquorice He is correct. You are not. However I have mentioned in 2 posts suggest OP bring it to IO attention.

Can you please post "normal guidelines "

I mentioned this in 3rd post. Previous reports of this being successful. The OP would have an onward flight to Phillipines and ticket to Thailand. Thinking io would accommodate this request. One thing not mentioned is that an eVisa from UK would not have flight into Thailand from Phillipines

Your contention is incorrect.

OP, rare account has been posted. Many replies have gone off track Thread closed

If you marry then she can piggyback on your extensions based on retirement as your dependent. However I never recommend marry for reason to stay in Thailand.

Appears current stamp is visa exempt 30 day stamp. She can apply for 30 day extension. Regards your second question the 2 visa exempt entries limit per calendar year is via land border entries. No limit visa exempt entries via air however immigration will suspect working in Thailand for many entries. What status (visa/extension) do you have in Thailand.
