Good question. Neighbour or random male "friend" Run Forest run! From my earlier post..... "Concerned about immigration visit. That's not normal."

Elite visa would definitely be an option Some of the guys with PE visa can advise. The thing with that visa is overstay just about rules you out. If you have the means to obtain that 5 year visa (think it's 600k) then that would be great option. If that's on your radar perhaps best to exit Thailand at some point and go from there. Again guys that have that visa can best advise. It can be applied for from outside of Thailand. I have a Belgium mate that applied when outside of Thailand and was greeted at BKK airport by elite staff and sticker attached to pp.

Indeed. As others have stated. Thailand does not have the 6 month rule, which I think be outlined from other Asian countries eg Vietnam. And yes Thai Smile would be aware of that. Safe trip.

Don't do that. To be frank you have limited options. You cannot obtain a new non O based on retirement. You are on overstay but different from the "usual overstay" If it wasn't for the home visit I would suggest that take time and get your affairs in order and exit Thailand prior to August. From there you would need to consider options how to return. Being settled here no doubt you have "stuff" to sort out. Obtaining a METV that provides almost 9 month stay would be one option

OK.... Your permission of stay ended date of divorce. However immigration is not notified of divorce. You mentioned on good terms with X wife. You can run small risk of remaining in Thailand or exit . When you exit there will be no issue with immigration. Concerned about immigration visit. That's not normal. Are you 50+

Did you obtain this visa in eg Savannakhet. OR Did you obtain a 12 month extension at immigration office in Thailand? If so you have a multiple entry non O marriage. In that case you have no issues. You can stay in Thailand till the expiry you mentioned

Do you mean extension based on marriage from a non O.....OR A ME non O marriage visa valid for one year? If an extension then that permission of stay ended date of divorce. If a ME non O marriage visa then that permission of stay remain valid. Why did immigration do a home visit. Are you on OK terms with x wife? When folk get divorced sometimes the farang remains in Thailand and exits prior to permission expiry.

Stamp is 90 days from date of entry. Counting entry date as day 1. July 8 is correct. Your previous permission of stay ended the day you exited Thailand.

Your point? Perhaps extensions retirement from a non O may require insurance in the future... What if what if......zero point of guess work.

Thailand immigration will allow you into the country with less that 6 months validity. However as @Caldera points out Airlines have their own rules for issuing boarding pass. Since many countries have the 6 months rule it's not uncommon for airlines to insist on this.

You can make appointment at CW. Works a treat. Be aware to include hard copy of confirmation email of appointment. Link here..... https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

Seriously your OP along with this post is all over the shop. At times you refer to PE (elite visa) requirements. That visa is purchased. It does not require maintaining funds in the bank unlike extensions based on retirement. You stated in another post this..... "To answer the question about age, I am 65 years old. I am trying to amass the funds needed for a longer term deal but still short of the amount needed to transition to another category of visa." Your best option is a non O based on retirement and subsequent extensions. That would have been the go to option rather than the other rubbish such as ED visa, tourist visa etc. Without rehashing the details extensions based on retirement requires 800k baht for some months and 400k at other times. That was available to you from age 50. Elite visa is a straight out purchase. Think it's 600k for 5 years. (someone will correct if wrong amount) . That visa does not have a minimum age unlike mentioned for the non O retirement. Great option for some. If you have 800k to stick in a Thai bank then obtain Non O and live in Thailand on annual extensions. If you don't then use an agent. 30k for non O and extension then 15k per annum ongoing.

It's 800k two months prior and three months after application. Not below 400k at other times. Regards under consideration period for marriage extension it's recommended to maintain the 400k in account till final stamp in the pp.

Which office. Most offices up to 30 days early some such as CW, CM etc 45 days prior

So Nonthaburi back to being hell hole. What a bunch of A ####. It's messy but you could check into hotel Bangkok and do your extension at Laksi immigration IT mall. They will accept screenshot of TM30 and also possible to make bookings.

You will need to do new TM30. Check out this vid. https://youtu.be/vfhGY21TMls

Strange. My Kasikorn account charges for withdrawal from another province. Pic attached.

You need to apply where you have filed your TM30 or do a new TM30 As for bank account in another province this thread addresses that ... It's about extensions but same applies for non O application.

Many threads with varying reports. https://aseannow.com/topic/1193091-wifes-access-to-falang-bank-account-if-falang-deceased/

Banks are notified.

The OP specifically asked about applying for a single entry tourist visa. If he makes an application one of two things will happen. Approved or refused. If refused he will have visa issued along with a VOID stamp. Note for others, that does not he cannot enter Thailand. In 2019 a thread started by UK guy who had continuous stay in Thailand as per the OP,...... He received a visa with Void stamp from Saigon consulate. Ended up flying into CNX visa exempt without issue.

This is first post from myself.... "This is a question for your particular immigration office. Some may accept joint account with double the money in bank for extension marriage. Some might for retirement. Personally doubt many/if any would allow that" As for you other post regarding a WILL. Of course you can specify/direct where funds such as money in the bank etc goes. I have one and my gf receives my dosh. Prior to the discussion about Will,s there were posts implying that a Will was not required and that wife could easily obtain funds from bank account straight away.

Which is very true. However the OP has a live in girlfriend. In Oz it's referred to as defacto and has legal status. In Thailand means little.

I was being sarcastic to earlier post that states your wife can just go to bank and obtain the dosh. In any event irrelevant as the OP is not married.

Not it's not. The sticker is placed in the passport and a stamp stating VOID is placed on the sticker. The visa application has been rejected. Would not stop you entering visa exempt.
