Passport Validity Requirements
DrJack54 replied to lazygourmet's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Indeed. There are several threads in the past regarding this question. In fact our great man ubonjoe has stated often that (for OP example) he would be able to enter Thailand and be stamped in to his reentry permit. Thailand does not have the 6 month requirement. Some neighbouring countries do have that requirement. Any issue is with the airline. -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.

That was VERY unusual. My guess is the clerk didn't know what they were doing. -

DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Don't bother to report back. If your airline does not ask for onward flight with you flying visa exempt would mean nothing as many report that an onward flight was not asked for by airline at check in. Also MANY report that it was required. These threads come along ever couple of weeks.. You stated ...... "They said it would and that their policy was traveler self-responsibility anyway" In other words that particular airline has a "self-responsibility" policy. Meaning the bus/train ticket is relevant. The airlines do not accept those. Assume that you are returning visa exempt.. -

Tourist visa or visa exempt entry Plenty of threads. Do you have Thai bank account in your name only? https://aseannow.com/topic/1282251-visa-exempt-to-non-o-retirement-dates/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1289175-non-o-based-on-retirement-conversion-to/- 1 reply

Changing marriage extension to retirement
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If divorce occurs then the extension no longer valid. If the wife dies then extension remains valid. -
Changing marriage extension to retirement
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Couple of posts in thread pointing out change from based on marriage to retirement, did not require wife to be present. Quite possible however in the main the wife would need to attend for that change. For ongoing extensions not required. -
Changing marriage extension to retirement
DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
@JammG you asked... "Why would I need my wife to attend?" Most likely that you were still married during the previous extension. In any event wife needs to attend. -
That's all correct. Also CM requires 21 days remaining. As is the norm in Thailand each office has their particular requirements..

DrJack54 replied to JammG's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
OP, you can obtain your extension based on retirement at CW. Your wife will need to attend. -
Bank letter would be least of his worries. Also needs to attend immigration.

One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Please stop nonsense. Most folk are not flying "lounge". Sad attempt to impress. Then you post this ... "Book a nearby hotel. Leave the airport. Go there by anny means available. Fly another day." That surely is a joke. Would mean forfeit flight and book hotel and expensive next day flight. Ridiculous. Ignore. -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So this thread is about onward flight perhaps required by airline. You post this .... "Buy another ticket and go to the lounge or go to a hotel and regroup" What the heck does that mean? The airline can require an onward flight within 30 days if flying visa exempt. -
One-Way Flight Tickets Into Thailand.
DrJack54 replied to XB12X's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Don't understand remotely what that means. The onward flight may be required by airline at check in. Yes one option would be to step away from check in and book cheapest onward flight available. Obviously you need internet and ability to pay online for ticket. -
This thread is CW Specific but outlines the process. Advice to state immigration office. https://aseannow.com/topic/1291070-visa-exempt-to-non-o-marriage-visa-conversion-at-cw-requirements/ Edit: just noticed that you are not even married prior to entry Thailand. You will require more time than 30 day stamp.. You can obtain a 30 day extension and after marriage a 60 day extension to visit wife. To apply for non O marriage you require 15day + remaining on your permission of stay and 400k in Thai bank account in your name only on day of application.

It certainly is not. Also in regards to onward flight that's exactly what's required. Flight. Train/bus ticket not acceptable.
