Very true. OP, here is link for appointment. https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ Make sure you do hard copy of your appointment. Take your filled out TM47 form and printed appointment to far right que at CW. You will be seen straight away. Without appointment it's horrible.

Lost track of what you required. If it's open bank account using agent in Pattaya it's 4500-5k

I misunderstood your post. You stated....."Chamchuri" You need to apply for 90 day report in person at CW

If you want to do your 90 report at Jomitien then you need change of address (TM30)

To do 90 report you need to have have TM30 for that office. Are you meaning Pattaya

Should not be required. Assume you are doing the trip alone. Take some extra cash in case you get a squeeze for one night stay.

The "soft power" options are a joke. I can deal with the online remote work. Not so much 5 yr visa to lean to make Pad Thai or mess around in a gym. Will be interesting to see how agents in Thailand assisting with DTV in places such a as Savannakhet will change when eVisa starts 2025

Not directly answering you question however I recently renewed my Australian pp. The online process does not require the old passport to be included with application. My old pp is unmarked. When I subsequently attended CW for transfer of stamps, there was zero issue with this. A stamp was placed in old pp with notation of new pp # etc.

Yes just both passports to airport. Land borders not so simple. If exit via land border best to transfer at CW.

Should be fine. At worst perhaps few baht for assistance. https://aseannow.com/topic/1321503-border-run-nakhon-phanom-2024/#elControls_18739227_menu

You should be fine to apply anytime provided you have at least 15 days remaining on permission of stay. (21 at CM)

Here is thread. The OP also entered visa exempt. Just take both pp to airport on departure. BTW: I live in Thailand on extensions and recently renewed pp and attended CW for transfer of stamps. I did not have a TM30 https://aseannow.com/topic/1329985-new-passport-how-to-leave-thailand/

Grammar police post removed

OP, here is a thread. No issue. https://aseannow.com/topic/1344081-savarnabhumi-airport-departure-through-electronic-passport-control/

Was just chatting with dude called Mr Google.....he stated... "Consular officials can witness Australian statutory declarations overseas. We deliver this service through our embassies and consulates overseas. Note that Australian statutory declarations are for use only in Australia."

Assume you will enter Thailand visa exempt. What business (if any) would you be having with immigration..

Sounds good. You will also be doing the 12 month extension at Ratchaburi since you are obtaining the Non O there.

@Sheryl may have advice

Was not previously required since June 2020. Now since trying to marry online reporting with TM30 things have changed. You have good summary above of the current situation. Personally I don't bother with it. I travel fair bit so actually don't need to TM47 often and when I do I use mail option. Recently did a 90 report in person (Nov 5) since I was at CW for annual extension. I didn't give the io a TM30 for the 90 report. Nor a previous TM47 receipt for most recent report. OP, perhaps Jomitien is convenient for you. I would never make trip to CW just to do a 90 report.

Congrats on the successful bounce. Did you use agent minivan. Cost ? Which border The extensions are done at immigration office where you have your address (TM30) Keep in mind you at some point need to obtain a Non O marriage. Also be aware that the office where you obtain the non O is same office that you obtain the 12 month extension. If you plan to obtain 30 day extension to the 60 day stamp you just obtained in ADDITION to the 60 day extension "to visit wife" you do the 30 extension first. Also run your plan past immigration office to obtain that office attitude to that. To obtain the non O in addition to the required docs you will use a TM87 form. The non O is 2000b and 12 month extension is 1900b For ongoing extensions you are not required to obtain another Non O This thread explains the process https://aseannow.com/topic/1325266-change-from-visa-exempt-to-non-o/

I don't see it that way. There has always been an issue with back to back visa exempt entries via air with extensive history. Until recently there was limit of 2 entries via land per calendar year. That was changed and that 2 per year removed. Personally think the term "Unlimited Entries" via land borders was misleading. The eVisa to commence in 2025 in the countries mentioned in the OP is in the main is for expats looking for ongoing living in Thailand on extensions from a non O retirement or marriage. If multi entry non O marriage is taken off the menu then those looking for that visa would just obtain the non O in Thailand. For those prepared to just do ongoing border bounce for visa exempt entry that may work. Just don't even consider taking a weekend away from Thailand via air..

Your point? The OP is married to a Thai national and living in Thailand on extensions. Easy requirements. Even less documents for extensions retirement. Granted immigration sometimes requests something different from previous applications

So how much did agent charge?5k. Assume Bangkok Bank. Most of cost goes to insurance policy.

Assume you have "soft power" DTV. Can you outlined details
