Strange. Since covid there have been so so many threads asking about requirements for extensions to tourist visa and visa exempt entries. Reports back overwhelmingly that TM30 is required for these extensions. On the other hand they are not required for annual extensions from non O retirement. I have done extensions for 10 years at CW. Same address have never moved. I have NEVER even made one TM30 and certainly never asked for one when obtaining annual extensions. As usual various immigration offices have their own rules of how they like to play the game.

Today I just returned from Saigon. To visit there I had to obtain a visa (Oz pp) also the only option was a single entry 30 day tourist visa. Thailand has a multitude of options including visa exempt, currently 45 days with simple process for 30 day extension. SETV, METV, NON O, etc etc Give me a break.

TM30 and first 90-day reporting in Bangkok
DrJack54 replied to Yumthai's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Visa exempt stamp. Can apply for 30 day extension and also 60 day extension to visit wife if married to Thai. -
You are the one posting nonsense. It's common that to apply for an extension from a tourist visa or visa exempt entry you need to provide TM30. Hotels should file a TM30 as a matter of law and can easily provide screenshot of that for folk to show immigration. It's standard.

Extension of non-O in CM
DrJack54 replied to bg53's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If your passport expires earlier than the 365 days you will be given extension with expiry date matching your pp. So no big deal in your case as you only lose few days. -
Extension of non-O in CM
DrJack54 replied to bg53's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The 800k maintained for 3 months is from application date. For the many guys (including myself) that just keep 800k + in a dedicated bank account, if they ever wish to change banks I suggest to do it in two hits after the 3 month requirement. So transfer say 400k three months after application and later the other 400k+. In your shoes I suggest check with immigration with bank book pages printed out for advice. For some reason immigration can be very fussy on this. -
Extension of non-O in CM
DrJack54 replied to bg53's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
CM is up to 45 days early. You can try earlier and show flight ticket. Your extension will only be issued up till date of expiry of pp. 12 months validity is fine. If you withdrew the funds from one account and placed then in another that may cause an issue. Sounds like you did that within 3 months of obtaining previous extension. -

Visa Question..

Yes you can obtain a 30 day extension to your visa exempt entry. You should have been given a 45 day stamp yesterday. The io was talking rubbish. -

Changing to Non IMM O from OA
DrJack54 replied to farangkrab's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Most immigration offices do the extension from 30 days prior up till expiry of the 90 stamp. Some offices allow up to 45 days early eg CW, CM etc. Obviously do it early enough to attend to any added requests from immigration -
Extension from a visa exempt entry attend IT Mall Laksi. Extension from a tourist visa entry attend CW..
