Good luck with Thailand enforcing the "changes" in the OP situation.

As already pointed out. With a visa or a reentry permit an onward/return ticket is not required.

My experience little different. BBL often still insist on certificate of residence. Not possible at CW without TM47. Have assisted folk at Kasikorn with non O. SCB note do not have branch at CW . While one of 3 banks that deal with 2mil limit transfers using WISE. Not best option imo

For some folk without a Thai bank account it's useful to obtain the single entry non O outside of Thailand as it makes opening a Thai bank account possible without use of agent.

Nothing wrong with that plan. Fact is the OP can bounce and obtain 60 day VE can apply for 30 day extension+ 60 extension to visit wife etc etc. Or can obtain non O at any time at local immigration office.

Out of interest did you obtain a 12 month extension from the non O

Yes This attached thread outlines process. Even easier now with visa exempt 60 days https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/

Just let your agent handle it. Many folk use agents for financials. The agent will be aware of the process. The bankbook check at CW is new.

So to be clear..,...you do not provide your own money for the financials. An agent does that? Are your stamps issued in Hua Hin

I had my stamps transfered to new pp few months back at CW. I use money in bank method for extensions retirement. The io wanted photocopies of pages of my bankbook and also made me go to bank and update. When I mentioned that this was never previously required, she said "Need"

He doesn't need to. He can go to immigration and obtain a non O from the visa exempt entry.

You want a non O based on marriage + a 12 month extension. Regardless of obtaining the non O in Vientiane or at thai immigration office, you will still require 400k in Thai bank account in your name only for 2 months

OP stated.... "I’m planning to go to Vientiane at the end of the year to get my 90-day single-entry spousal visa" He is married to thai it would seem

I don't quite follow. You mention planning to obtain subsequent 12 month extension. For that you require 400k in bank for two months prior to application. Why not just do a border bounce and reenter visa exempt and apply for non O and 2 months later the 12 month extension.

Seems CM do lot more than other offices.. This is what most require. Obviously TM Card not required along with letter from embassy

Several bickering and insulting posts along with replies removed

That's not the norm. For example couple months back had my stamps transfered to new pp at CW. They explained that they could not transfer my multi reentry permit as it was issued at DMK. I was aware of that so no surprise.

Agent is wrong. Which immigration office do you deal with. Stamps should be transferred at office where they were issued. This attached thread has link to form CW and some other offices use. Also list of required docs. Note I mention in one post that at CW if using money in bank method retirement they want updated bank book and photocopies of bank book pages. https://aseannow.com/topic/1331063-transfer-immigration-stamps-to-new-passport-third-passport-while-living-in-los/

OP has started another thread. This one is closed

No. Under consideration period basically means your extension has been approved. Just return to immigration for final stamp. You will not be on overstay

This thread is answered. Thread closed.

It's not required for any procedure with immigration or online reports or TM47 via mail.

Should not have been required. Which immigration office
