Correct

Not in my experience. Have never provided TM30 for annual extensions at CW. Note that my last 2 extensions at CW the doc check chicks required TM47 which was not needed in previous years.

My understanding is that CM also require a TM30. Not the case?

The cost of extension is 1900b . Perhaps someone was charged (fine) 500b for not having a TM30.

This is off topic. Hopefully someone can assist.... So almost 3 weeks back I applied to renew my AU passport using mail option. Just now received this email that states.... "Your passport is on its way to your nominated address by a local postage service in your country or region if you need help you can contact your local embassy or consulate This email is generated automatically. Do not reply. Australian Passport Office" So my question..does that mean my new pp is in Thailand or Australia? Obviously trying to work out when it arrives my condo in Bangkok

Just to be clear... you are currently on extension from a non O-A and do not have a current reentry permit?

Yes that includes immigration at airport.

Yes no problem. The counter is after security and just prior to passport control. Zone 2. Left hand side. BKK airport has a service available where they do the TM8 form and photo 200b Multiple reentry is 3800b So 4k all up if you have them do the form

OP, you need to outline your status in Thailand.....permission of stay wise. Available from immigration is a certificate of residence. Why does this need to be in English. Don't be vague . If it's legal matter just say so.

That is also my understanding. Perhaps go a step further ....I think the 30 day extension must be applied for first.

1: 30 day extension to visa exempt or tourist visa entry followed by 60 day extension to visit wife is possible. 2: don't understand how he was given 60 day extension as that extension is specific to wife and docs required for that. Are you sure the friend did not have a METV.

Very similar (same) as your other thread.

Doesn't matter. Pick any date and airport.

And I answered his question with.... "Go to bank and request 12 month statement. Immigration will not accept statement without bank stamp"

The OP is asking about TM8. "I arrived in Thailand on" This refers to date of most recent entry to Thailand (past entry)

He thinks a new passport that does not show his history means previous history is unavailable (clear pp). He is mistaken

The TM87 has nothing to do with entering Thailand. Immigration at the airport will just stamp you in visa exempt 30 day stamp. TM87 used at your immigration office when applying for non O (retirement)

To each their own. I allowed my TDL to expire as my birthday was few days after expiry of the license. As a result was given almost 6 years

OP you can enter visa exempt or with setv. You can then obtain a non O based on retirement at immigration. Requires 15+ days remaining on entry stamp. Use TM86 for tourist visa entry or TM87 for visa exempt e try. You require 800k on day of application. That gives you 90 day stamp. In last 30 days obtain 12 month extension. As you already have Bank account etc visa exempt entry will be fine . This thread outlines procedure. https://aseannow.com/topic/1311886-visa-exempt-to-retirement-extension-process-and-cost/

Email? Go to bank and request 12 month statement. Immigration will not accept statement without bank stamp . Your posts misleading.

There are threads running on this topic. Perhaps @Mike Lister can redirect

What bank statement provides those details.

Good post. That's correct. Not really sure what the OP is pointing out.

Correct.
