Indeed. You could even initially do first entry (airport) visa exempt followed by another prior to using land border entries. Nonsensical thread with options well known. Topic closed.

Nothing new.

Perhaps should have been posted in Pattaya forum as is not MO for other immigration offices

Who cares about your office Jomtien. There are approx 75 immigration offices. Some are rogue. Think CM another Here is part of 2.2 Changed in June 2020. "The alien as defined in paragraph one shall include those who being granted multiple-visa who leaves and returns to the Kingdom with specified time in the visa, and those with re-entry permit."

Again more misinformation. The OP does not requure a new TM30. For those that do eg extension to tourist visa or visa exempt the usual fine would be 800b

Wrong. Perhaps at few immigration offices that are not adhering to current law re TM30

That's irrelevant as it's 2 visa exempt entries per calendar year. End of.

Strange as AU along with others were taking up to 6 weeks . I just renewed my AU PP. 3 weeks. Don't be shy. Which country. Never heard of same day pp renewal.

Some others have said pay overstay at airport. Many would be surprised how common short overstays are. One/two days as is case with OP.

No. Which immigration office

90 report at CW is busy. Be aware that a bullet proof option is to do TM47 via mail. However that should be done 15 days prior to due date. Don't know what part of appointment was difficult

Above was referring to @Upnotover post which is correct. Yes they hand the print out back. Just a tip for others. When you have the email approval check it like a hawk for slightest error because airline and Immigration do.

As stated above, requires hard copy printout

You can apply for extension at immigration which will be rejected and be given 7 days to get out of dodge. Personally, I would just go to airport and pay the 2 day overstay. 1000b. Some folk will disagree with that option.

https://aseannow.com/topic/1291703-entering-thailand-with-less-than-6-month-valid-passport/ Or read posts from ubonjoe in this thread In any event the OP,s gf is Thai and has correct answer. She has no issue

100% most sensible decision.

You exit without a reentry permit and your permission of stay ends. It's not a Retirement visa. You have a 90 day permission of stay. Turn around and reenter visa e exempt. That gives a 30 day stamp. That can be extended by further 30 days at immigration office. You stated you need extra month. Border bounce can provide 60 days with extensioin

You need to exit Thailand and upon reentry you will receive a 90 day stamp. Re the 90 day report. Immigration has used the application for the 60 day extension as reset for report.

OP, border runs and even flight out and back not simple from Korat. However seems a possible solution.

OP, as others have stated she has no issue. Be aware that with Jetstar sometimes you need to request a senior staff member if there is an issue at check in. The 6 month rule even for non Thai does not apply for Thailand. It's an airline thing. In any event she is Thai. No problem. BTW my thai gf had to renew her pp recently. She went to the office that deals with that here in Bangkok. The new pp arrived NEXT day ems ...I kid you not.

You are correct. I completely misread the OP. So the one bounce in January + extension means still has one more visa exempt via land available

It's referred to as "opportunity cost" Try working out compound interest on 800k at 7% (conservative) for 10 years. Back to the OP...some posts in thread including OP, seem to refer to FD account. 3 month bank statements may be insufficient if using savings account. Even if dedicated account. Last week I had stamps transferred to new passport. I had chat with one of senior io. She wants me to provide 12 month bank statement for my next extension. Money in bank method CW

The credit advice is more to show that the funds came from abroad. Personally I would provide credit advice and statement. Your current extension was based on money in bank method. Doubt they will accept you switching to monthly income method.

@Bangkok Alex is correct. You have done your 2 visa exempt entries per calendar year. You can apply for a tourist visa at nearby consulate eg Vientiane. That consulate requires appointment Appointment here https://thaivisavientiane.com/ Edit: OP this post is incorrect. @Liquorice has posted correct reply

Immigration will accept bank letter and bank statements up to 7 days early. Be aware that some offices insist upon update on day of application and even "activity on day of application. A small deposit achieves both. Don't be concerned the balance does not match the bank leter
