It can. It's not significant. Here is snip from HCMC consulate "2.6. Evidence of adequate finance Showing transaction not less than 6 months Minimum 20,000 Baht per person" Think best advice given when you are aware of which consulate or embassy you will apply from. Also will receive advice about other things, such as need for appointment, flights etc You may be applying for eVisa. Are you currently in Thailand?

Where would you be applying.

Out of interest, where did she obtain the ME Non O retirement visa?

Generally no fine for one day overstay. You may still receive a stamp. No consequences.

Yes. The 2 annual visa exempt entries you refer to is for entry via land borders. You can obtain visa exempt entries via air also.

CM. As for extensions (30 day) in Bangkok.....if you have visa exempt entry you obtain extension at Laski. If you have a tourist visa you obtain extension at CW. Regards you not needing TM30 recently at Laksi for extension that means little. There are zillion posts of the opposite experience.

The screenshot should have been acceptable. Nothing done at CM regards TM30 makes any sense. Rubbish office.

Refers to person who started the thread.

That's always the "rule" that they use for convenience.

OP, your posts are very unclear. You mention multi and Savannakhet and spouse. Also visa valid till Dec 2023. My guess is that you have a ME Non O marriage. That is a multiple entry non O visa based on marriage Valid for one year. Correct?

Red could I also copy of your guidelines. Ta.

The only reason a tourist would require a TM30 is if need to have dealings with immigration. Example to obtain 30 day extension. In your example do nothing

No.

Most common is 800baht fine. You did not address the OP question.

My comments re Poi Pet are directed at Farang crossing at that border. @Sherylis familiar with that crossing and perhaps can provide you with advice.

So you attended immigration without required paperwork to apply for annual extension? Aware of the fact from this thread that immigration may overlook short term withdraw. Also you just confirmed that. How did you think that was sensible... Geez.

Do not use Poi Pet under any circumstances. If you have a visa eg METV on ME Non O or reentry permit. ....Maybe. Even then avoid.

Read the OP. He is asking about starting a business. That has significant requirements such as 4 employees etc etc. Many threads on that.

The landlord would not know what CM immigration require and neither would folk on AseanNow. When you have an immigration office acting outside the rules anything is possible.. It seems that at CM you need to make a TM30 upon return. Rubbish office. They are not only outlaw office. Not sure but vaguely recall KK same.

Tell her do not file a TM30. If she has then given you deal with CM, you would need to file a TM30 when you arrive back home in CM. Yes mad crazy but in the end immigration sets the rules.. CM is not following the rules. No idea of motive.

That's all she needs to file a TM30 online. She most likely took photo as no photocopier or whatever. You should have asked her if she was doing a TM30. CM is not following the new rules as of June 2020. The TM30 is required at CM for stays out of province or abroad. That is rubbish but rogue offices can do as they please.

Agent.,approx 4-4.5k baht is most likely

Saigon would be my pick but as stated earlier you require an appointment and may not suit your time frame. Vientiane also requires an appointment. Savannakhet does not.

OK skip that. Just to be clear. What is your current status in Thailand. Meaning you entered visa exempt or.... How many days remaining on your current permission of stay. How long has 800k been in your bank account. Have you applied for 30 day extension already?

Please read my post carefully. This is part of my post.... "If agent can assist with you providing your own 800k in the bank on day of application and you Maintaining the funds and then doing the 12 month extension yourself....That would be good outcome"... Many folk use agents as "hand holding" Note my post was about him using his own funds and not have agent cover that.
