First up I didn't give the emoji. It's the OP that is confused. Despite folk asking if his passport is in fact expired no advice was forthcoming. Finally he posted that pp is not expired hence he does not require a pp renewal.

He doesn't require a new passport. His current one is valid.

OP passport is not expired. OP stated few posts back .. "Italian, not expired yet"

Do not understand any of that. He should.... 1. Buy a flight ticket 2. Get to Bkk airport 3. Pay fine 20k and receive appropriate ban 4. Board plane.

No offense OP but that's significant info. If pp is not expired the solution is simple. Obtain a flight out and go to airport. Pay 20k baht and immigration will stamp your pp with overstay and you will be given a ban according to the list I posted. Good luck

In summary seems common advice is to discuss with embassy new passport or emergency travel doc and go to airport with funds for fine and air ticket to home country. While the OP, may have serious overstay, he has understay in this thread and nothing to post since starting the thread. Some have asked pp country etc.

OP, passport country? Assume current pp is expired? asap obtain new pp or emergency travel doc. Pay 20k at airport and be given a ban according to length of overstay.

He is referring to extension using agent where the 800k in out is arranged by agent. In Pattaya the agents use BBL

The OP deals with CW and seems rattled by small window of holidays and CW has 45 day window. Oh please

Ignore the post you refer to. So...if applying for non O based on marriage or retirement from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry the funds need to be in bank on day of application. For subsequent application for 12 month extension then funds need to be in bank for TWO months. After that it changes. If extension based on marriage the funds can be withdrawn after under consideration period. If based on retirement the 800k needs to remain for 3 months AFTER extension application. After that can be as low as 400k and back up to 800k TWO months prior to next extension.

Absolute rubbish. Questions from immigration officer on arrival to Thailand depends #1 on your history. ... You state... "I have no tattoos or piercings - Short hair and clean shaven" Is that a joke. Look like working in Thailand

No. Read my post.

You are confused. For application for non O the funds need to be in bank on day of application For annual extension funds need to be in bank for 2 months prior to application and maintained for 3 months after application and not below 400k in other months

You can do that or leave it till well after holidays. So point of your thread? You are aware of your options

Again what's the point? If it changes what's is the issue. I still doubt the one example you based this thread on. Granted 400days is crazy. Just an error. Then you post ..... "That’s the second confirmed instance of dates changing. Which office was it? " Then there is a zillion that have the same renewal date for many years.

Myth

Seriously not interested in rubbish immigration offices. Add CM to your list. #1 on rubbish list is Jomtien. Just 2 examples... 1. Return 3 months after extension extension retirement to check bank book. 2. In order to obtain non O from visa exempt entry requures 2 month seasoning. That is wrong. Rubbish joint. My understanding is that recently Jomtien has gone back to not requiring TM30 for the things you listed eg annual extensions. As I posted...Thailand immigration offices do what they want. Everyone should be aware of what their immigration office requires. Personally off to Oz next week and couple weeks later Vietnam...there is absolutely no need for me to file a TM30 when I return (CW)

The io that advised you is wrong. That doesn't help you as any random immigration office can do as they wish. However, I would at very least show them the actual law 2.1 2.2 posted earlier in this thread.

If you end up obtaining reentry permit at airport (I assume BKK for UK) note that the counter for reentry permit is just after security check and PRIOR to passport control. Zone 2. They have an option of 200b service fee and fill in TM8, provide photo etc

You are good to go. Just make sure 800k+ two months prior to date you apply for next extension. As pointed out earlier you may like to consider an FD account . Avoids any slip ups. Thread closed.

Which immigration office

Some offices are very strick. CW being one. OP, how long was your account 5k short. Do you have another Thai bank account in your name only Edit: after reading post above by @Liquorice it seems that you may have withdrawn funds in the months where you are permitted to be as low as 400k

Strange post. Thai immigration set the rules. There are non Thai wife can "piggyback" on husband permission of stay. Example husband with extensions based on retirement. BTW in example mentioned the wife needs to enter on non O

Do you have anything to add to this thread of a random post from unknown chap without screenshot of stamps etc Going nowhere

He has over a week window. Your point
