How do you stay in Thailand for 7 months without leaving the country. The topic concerns visa exempt entries.

Stated almost like a badge of honor. I would suggest a better option would be a non O retirement plus subsequent annual extensions a better option. However here againawith a visa exempt entry which as you point out is working for you.

I just tried. OTP not sent. I always use my cell. No go on this occasion. Tried twice

Last thing I would be showing immigration on arrival entering visa exempt is copy of the items you mention.

Yes. Explained in OP of this thread. Para 2.2 https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/

Read this guys report. Indicates 24/7

Assuming your embassy does not provide "income letter" (UK,USA,AU) you would need to provide 12 month of 65k+ transfers. As noted in earlier posts, some immigration offices will be fine with the monthly transfers being from overseas and and not interested in funds from pension etc. An io from CW told me she wants to see some proof of pension. With that in mind I changed my super funds to "income stream". Meaning set amount every month. However I have decided to use agent moving forward

You are misunderstanding the quote I was correcting.

It's about length of time between visits. Your OP seems to indicate stay 30 days visa exempt and bounce out for short period wash and repeat. Eventually you will be denied entry. Thailand has many visas available for longer stay such as METV The question of how many visa exempt is too many is posted on weekly basis. Boring

Indeed it has. OP, has given useful report regarding self check in. Even without direct flight. Welcome back . Thread closed.

Yes So you can't currently meet the 400k requirement for annual extension. Enough from me. Seems you are aware of your options. Purpose of thread?

Your statement makes no sense. Visas are not "renewed" Application for extension of permission of stay is available. A denied extension would have very clear reasons. Most common would be financial requirements

There is an appeal form for denied entry.

This thread is so run off topic. The OP is a simple account of self check in equated with zero contact for check in and onward flight not required.

Take that as OP has his answers. Thread closed

I'm on ongoing extensions so no I have never done border run you outline. You won't have an issue. Your OP is correct in that if you exit without reentry permit your current permission of stay is done and dusted. Turn around and reenter visa exempt. Bit hard to guess your plan (which is your business) Assume that you are aware of 60 day extension to visit wife. What's the plan after visa exempt entry?

Here is a thread and I posted link to report using agent van https://aseannow.com/topic/1324450-ban-laem-border-run/ No onward ticket required

I'm confused...you stated "After obtaining a single re entry permit, ..." Have you used that reentry permit? It's a single. To exit again you require a new reentry permit

90 report resets upon reentry to Thailand. Ignore the reminder. Your next tm47 due 90 days from most recent entry. You do not require a TM30 if returning to previous address. You seem to have obtained a single reentry permit for this recent trip out of Thailand. Of course you require another reentry permit if you want to exit again. Edit: OP, the first 2 posts explain what's required clearly

No. https://aseannow.com/topic/1263951-exiting-thailand-on-a-different-passport/

That is a comprehensive list. Note it included TM47 I'm not sure how the OP obtained his current extension. Seems he did not provide his own funds. The agent obtained the bank account the Non O and the extension. Did he do 90 day reports? To which immigration office. Where were the stamps issued.

Here is a link that outlines requirements if marriage registered in Thailand vs overseas. https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/6.FOR-PROVIDING-SUPPORT-TO-OR-BEING-A-DEPENDANT-OF-A-THAI-CITIZEN-SPOUSE-VISA-NON-O.pdf Regarding the many trips out I get it now. I'm not 100% sure if multi entry marriage is currently available from Saigon. It is from Savannahket Multi from HCMC discussed in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1308373-ho-chi-minh-multiple-entry-marriage-visa/

Yes

If you plan to live ongoing in Thailand, personally I would do a single entry Non O based on marriage and subsequent annual extensions. You would also require a multiple reentry permit. You can obtain that in nearby consulates such as Saigon, Savannahket etc. You could also just enter Thailand visa exempt and obtain Non O at Thai immigration. Note: Saigon requires an appointment. Assume you have a Thai bank account. Process outlined in this thread with other links. https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/

I put the latter. End of current permission of stay
