Don't follow. 5 weeks = 35 days. At Korat you could already do extension 30 days prior to expiry. Immigration can be far more flexible than extra 5

Yes the wife would need to be with him when he applies for the 60 day extension. Thinking he could apply early prior to wife leaving. Depends on his dates and how helpful immigration would be.

Have you previously obtained a 60 day extension to visit wife? You could do that to push the renewal back by 2 momths

Post ONE pic of you very colorful trip to Kho Chang One million booze and top shelf escorts. What's wrong with you. We all like a yarn but keep it remotely believable

You bang on same tune. The visa exempt 60 day will be temporary. In 6+ months time will tell. Anyone planing trip to Thailand I say 2025 would be poorly advised to rely on 60 day visa exempt. Not a big deal. Alternatives available.

I take your point. The ones that are clearly 100% fictional I don't see the point. Mindless ramblings. Attention seeking

Sadly imo community pub forum has basically zero accountability. Lonely hearts spitting out daily threads for personal needs. In other words Needy Folk.. Some threads in pub interesting however many from very few spoil for so many.

You could obtain a non O based on marriage from Thai embassies/consulate or eVisa if available+ 60 day extension to visit wife. That option would avoid need to exit Thailand. Also enter visa exempt (60 days) + 30 day extension + 60 day extension to visit wife. Border bounce also an option

Fine. Folk such as yourself can assist forum with arrangements and cost. Rather than just naming most well known agent in Bangkok. @ThaiVisaCentre can you advise. I recently gave detailed costing for annual extensions at Maneerat agent Pattaya.

Did you read the OP. It was questioning visa v visa exempt entry. Folk on annual extensions would be foolish to read into alternative

You have posted similar previously. Perhaps post link to agents that provide "meet and greet" assistance for visa exempt entries via air.. Not interested in land border run companies services.

Perhaps. If the visa exempt entries were via air and short ish time spent out of Thailand thinking possible issue with immigration.. Also time will tell how long 60 day visa exempt will continue.

Not so sure METV fits that description. Still a good option for folk applying in pp country and can stay in Thailand up to 9 months. SETV pretty much redundant now. How long visa exempt will be 60 days is anyone's guess

Available. Currently SETV hardy a preferred option with visa exempt giving 60 day stamp

Perhaps... The thread I referenced included ... "i've got 5 cases of champage, 10 cases of red wine, 5 bottles of jack daniels, 5 bottles of vodka & about 200 bottles of beer, all in the boot of the motor ready for the off! we will be fine dining at the hotel from start to finish. we are also taking 5 girls with us that we have ordered online. they weren't cheap but my god they are beautiful. white skinned, big knockers and up for anything.. they are the hi-so type girls that koreans and japanese usually opt for. Offensive at very least.

No need for confused emoji. Your ongoing start nonsense threads on a whim. Granted pub forum. Just get a grip. At very least post factual rather than fantasy

Re truth... Perhaps you could update your fictional "party time " thread.

If the original non O is in previous passport then not required. The first pages of new pp will cover that requirement. Of course if original visa is in old pp that was retrained then by all means take a photocopy.

My last 2 extensions at CW required TM47 receipt both at document check and again by io. (I use appointment option)

BBL do not supply 12 month bank statement on the spot. Other banks (most) do.

Very surprised you did not need to supply TM47 receipt. I have never provided a TM30 at CM for annual extensions (retirement)

Would be best option as would not need to do "change of address" and again when returns to CM

I didn't use the word arrogant. The fact is that the individual immigration office will outline what is required. TM30 now used as change of address and I suggested that. Also that an immigration office MAY require something more such as a lease....as mentioned by @Pattaya57 earlier. Note for others....if it's your first extension and you obtained the non O in Thailand you would need to apply for first extension there (unless another office ignored that)

You can do it 45 days early at CM. Also if you can show travel plans they can do it earlier (up to them)
