OP, have you used "60 day extension to visit wife" Obtaining that would enable enough time to season the 400k. Do you have two bank accounts. If together they cover the shortfall you could use both accounts for money in bank method. Failing that you could border bounce and enter visa exempt and subsequent non O and 12 month extension.

General rule of thumb is that stamps, visa information etc is transfered at immigration where they were issued. Example my last passport renewal was some years back at CW. The io at CW transferred non O details, etc. Would not transfer my reentry permit. Reason....it was issued at DMK (airport). "You need go there" Not surprised by your post.

Nup. He will be given an "admitted till" date according to his reentry permit in old passport.

The OP would enter Thailand with valid reentry permit in old passport and will be given stamp till date same as on reentry permit.

One option is to wait till your window for 90 day report opens after return and do the TM47 and transfer of stamps on same visit. Don't forget to update things such as bank account passport details.

Not married. Will require more than just name on birth certificate.

Where is your address registered on TM30

You don't understand the requirements. You obtain your extension in province where you live. Travel out of province including international travel does not change that.

How long is a piece of string. The amount on time you plan for being in Thailand for 2014 is not an issue using visa exempt entries. Don't follow the "visa bit of hassle where I live" eVisa?

Passport confirms your automatic right of residence in your passport country. Nothing to do with a proof of address. That's why pp is sufficient

I gave @treetops the +1 heart. His first post is sufficient and correct.

8.30am. Regardless of what time you arrive it's best to go to que desk prior to going downstairs to banks. Be aware sometimes que desk ask to see your application TM7 filled in. You also should make small deposit as same time. CW prefer bank book to be updated and show activity on day of application.

Seems you may be dealing with Jomitien. You using Bangkok Bank ?

OP, here is a thread with guidelines that suit your situation https://aseannow.com/topic/1153594-one-year-extension-based-on-father-of-thai-child/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1307713-visa-based-on-having-a-thai-child/

Use of agents was not asked for by the OP. The agent has nothing to do with posts about bank statement. Also your post about the gym friend that uses agent 15k is also off topic . At a guess that guy is using agent for extension based on retirement without any funds (money in bank method)

@hotandsticky may I ask regarding the statement (from bank) you posted where was that obtained.

Another good point. @wisemonkey you need to give complete detail of what visa you have. It must be based on marriage because Australia does not issue ME Non O based on retirement.

Good point. He could have a multi entry non O. That visa valid for 12 months I assumed METV. OP needs to clarify.

So you are aware of obtaining 60 day stamp by entering prior to expiry of current visa. Good. They will stamp you in for 60 and you can obtain 30 day extension. After that it may be possible to border bounce for 30 day visa exempt entry. That can be extended by 30 days. You may be able to do that twice. Spending time out of Thailand is good advice.

Assume you are that if you exit and reenter just prior to expiry of your METV you will be stamped in for another 60 days and you can obtain 30 day extension to that entry.. Regarding further stay in Thailand you could do visa exempt land border entries. You are allowed 2 per calendar year. You might be able to milk out 4 months from those.

Avoid using term "bank letter" that refers to this https://aseannow.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=786616 Bank letter is just letter from bank that confirms you are the owner of the account and balance. Have never seen the photocopy of the "statement" in your OP. Kasikorn can provide you 12 months "Bank Statements" on day you apply. 200b. Bangkok bank take few days to do the same. Jomitien should accept 12 month bank statement showing monthly transfers from abroad. Perhaps immigration is asking for credit advice for some transfers to show they came from abroad.

Stated that earlier

It would be far more simple to do as you outlined. OP, in his other thread mentions extensive stays in Thailand and think recently coming off an ED visa. Most likely wants to avoid visa exempt entry. Especially via air.

No problem. Obtain the reentry permit at airport when you are flying out to UK. No need to make special trip to CW. Cost 1000b. For extra 200b they do the TM8 for you including picture.

Your reference to insurance comes from looking at a non O-A in the USA. You cannot obtain that in Thailand at immigration. @TheAppletons pointed out above. You can obtain a 12 month extension to your permission of stay. However that has financial requirements. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only? Dont feel bad about not obtaining the non O-A as the insurance requirement continues for each annual extension. Many folk (retirement) have ditched the non O-A and obtained a non O. Here is a thread that outlines obtaining the 12 month extension. Ignore the "obtain non O from visa exempt entry" https://aseannow.com/topic/1311886-visa-exempt-to-retirement-extension-process-and-cost/
