Flight would have been an option either by using an agent for "safe entry" meet and greet at airport OR by way of excuse ..state the truth. You plan to obtain non O. You ran out of time to gather documents for extension. However it's already 15th. All a bit too late

Savannakhet are done for this year and from 1 of January next year they move to eVisa as outlined in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1346246-all-consulates-in-se-asia-switch-to-online-evisa-system-effective-jan-1st-2025/

What will be required in terms of entry via air/land borders. For example when applying for eVisa for Thailand in say UK you include entry.flight details. Proof of flight. Many years ago applying for tourist visas for Thailand from Saigon you had to provide hard copy of flight into Thailand. What will you need to show if obtaining eVisa in Laos. As pointed out in a post above.... Lot of folk will just border bounce enter visa exempt and apply for eg Non O marriage/retirement at local immigration office. Even moreso if Multiple Entry Visa becomes unavailable.

You won't get an appointment at Savannakhet prior to Dec 17..

Interested to see how the passport renewal is done regarding transfer of stamps and visa information.

Exactly. Personally never applied for eVisa for Thailand but have few times for eVisa to Vietnam (Oz pp). After the application is filled in online, you review, check all fields then hit payment. I opt for debit/credit card. Done on the spot and visa takes ~4 days to process and the eVisa is emailed to you

This is the weird bit. Fancy having an eVisa setup that does not include payment options with the application.

Exactly. Summed up by @Tod Daniels post in this short thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1334200-90-days-report-after-getting-1-year-extension-follow-the-last-date-of-report-or-count-new/

Seems hit and miss. Hopefully someone will post recent first hand experience. https://aseannow.com/topic/1320366-jomtien-online-appointment/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1321858-jomtien-immigration-booking-system-fails-again/#elControls_18749690_menu

I don't understand your posts. Good luck with border bounce.

There are reports of some immigration offices doing 90 report when obtaining extension. Rather than post a link to threads here is a cut and paste from random thread ..... "did my last 90day in November. just did my extension and got my stamp on Dec25 I/O also reset my 90day count for March ( Hua Hin )"

I didn't need to dig into his old posts. I recall the OP making excellent report of his extension retirement at CM.

Your post is not clear. So you did online application for 90 day report. The PDF is simply record of what you filled in on form. To far right side it will have status Pending, Rejected, Approved. You applied post due date? It will be rejected. You can do it in person up seven days after date due and avoid the 2000b fine. If you are handy to immigration and not busy type you can do it in person. I deal with CW so I would skip it and do it next time at immigration for some other reason cop 2k fine

That was the concern. Obtain the eVisa non O after the upcoming visit is good option .

The thread is about how to move from agent to doing extensions yourself. Not a debate about agents.

I left out an important word in my post (fixed now) ...... "I believe that the border run minivan agents do NOT run to Poipet"

I believe that the border run minivan agents do NOT run to Poipet

Yep....introduced earlier this year. Let's hope it remains at 60. 30 day extension still available Edit: @thaitom misunderstood your post

Keep in mind that even if that location changes policy, a simple smallish donation would be asked for. If you had been asking about Cambodia then would have suggested agent minivan run.

Same day bounce yes. Not personal experience however no reports of any issue at Nong Khai re overnight stay required

My most recent extension (Nov 5 at CW) was the first time I ever obtained a TM30 for extension. Would your immigration office accept a TM47 receipt.

You apply for extension where you are living. Immigration would require a TM30. Your situation is little different. Thinking best for you to deal with current permission of stay ending Dec 17. That entry will provide a 60 day stamp. Putting the extension to visit wife aside, you can obtain a 30 day extension to the visa exempt entry. That gives you 3 months to arrange things. At some point you can apply for a Non O marriage. Your issue is wife working a long way from you. For non O your wife needs to be present. Likewise for home visit

Accepted by immigration for what? The OP has not mentioned what he needs proof of address for. For example to obtain TDL, COR, TM30 etc etc

What are you needing for immigration. TM30? An agent may be able to assist.

Suggest you at least do a comparison test with bank to bank vs WISE. Back to thread...... OP, have you tried to use your TM47 receipt. That's all I required to obtain certificate of residence at CW
