I was more making the point that it must be the agents assistance that's making this possible and I'm not referring to the funds in the bank. The OP also states, as you pointed out...,. "So, if I were to apply for a retirement conversion from this Non-O during the 90 days after the visa itself has expired, would that be an obstacle to getting the retirement extension?'' He uses "conversion" incorrectly. I'm happy to be corrected but my understanding is that his first extension needs to be based on marriage

Based on ? My understanding is that his first extension needs to be same as the visa he entered on. In op case marriage. This comes up more commonly with someone doing first extension from a Non O-A and wanting to do the extension based on marriage. Seems agents have the recipe for 7 herbs and spices

What is the costing. That will give a good indication what they are doing for you. Are they also opening a bank account? I doubt they will be obtaining a 12 month extension based on marriage. Your first extension should/must be on same reason the original visa is based on. In this case marriage. Most likely obtaining extension based on retirement. Don't know how they are doing that. Also I doubt Maneerat would do extension based on marriage. As @Lemsta69 pointed out give them a ring or chat LINE. Google Maneerat and all the contact details are there. NAN

Yes that's basically an agent via school ED visa. Note it's actually 12 months from date of entry to Thailand. Requires extensions The 60k explains that.

So what's that cost .....60k baht?

It was a visa exempt entry 30 day stamp that can be extended by 30 days. For this next visit how long would you like to stay in Thailand?

You have a valid visa (METV) ... You should be able to enter at any airport.... CM is a more relaxed airport however not necessary.

OP has his answer topic closed.

OP, your post is bit mixed up. In no specific order... TM30 is to report where you are staying. Previously it was done when nights spent out of province where you live and also upon return from international travel. That all changed in June 2020. Land borders do not issue TM30. To confuse things further some immigration offices are ignoring the new rule (2020). CM being one example. How did you enter Thailand. Meaning reentry permit or tourist visa etc Edit: my post is off topic as clearly the OP is referring to TM6. OP ,TM6 are no longer required upon arrival at airports however entry via land require TM6

Exactly ....I had to read back a couple of times to see if OP has actually outlined current status in Thailand (visa- extension -?) Not clear and then states..... "Get your nose out of my business." Lovely

You can use "money in bank" method without being retired. Money in bank for marriage is 400k baht on day of application for non O and for subsequent extension 400k needs to have been in bank for 2 months. After you receive final stamp you can use that money. For retirement 800k on day of application and for two months prior to extension. Maintained at 800k for three months after extension and then not below 400k and back up to 800k prior to next extension. Some married guys opt for "based on retirement" due to more simple process, no home visit etc.

Exactly... To clarify...even with embassy income letter, is it correct that for the non O application in Thailand it's suggested that couple of months of transfers is also required?

I doubt the land vs air is an issue. It's more a random thing. Surprised it was not required at LakSi as the que ticket chicks check your docs, even if you have a booking. Was a standard requirement when MTT was doing 30 day extensions

As I guessed few posts above. The OP used an agent and hence required a new non O to start over

That's why I posted earlier... "Some small things to tick off such as married in Thailand or Germany etc. " Done

That should not have been necessary. Were your extensions (retirement) done using an agent?

Good point. I assumed Thai wife from snippet in the OP "We will be in Buriram." Not many expats live there unless Thai wife but certainly a possibility otherwise.

There are MANY threads re enter visa exempt and apply for the non O in Thailand from visa exempt entry. Some folk opt to enter with tourist visa especially when need to open bank account. You have that so great start. You require 400k in Thai bank on the day you apply for the non O. Rather than more detail I will add some threads that outline the process. Some small things to tick off such as married in Thailand or Germany etc. Regards the reentry permit it's 1000b for single. 3800b for multiple (no limit) Here is a thread and I added various links to other threads. It's not a difficult process. One caveat is Jomtien immigration.

You can obtain a non O based on marriage to Thai national outside of Thailand. You can also also obtain a non O inside Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry. You obtain a 12 month extension to the 90 day stamp from the non O. No police check or health, insurance etc. Those requirements are for non O-A (you don't want that visa. The non O is not multiple entry visa. After obtaining 12 month extension you buy a reentry permit. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only.

I can understand the printing requirement. The io at arrival airport checks it carefully. More easy to do checking pp against a A4 printout rather than random cell phones

I once took the wrong approval letter to DMK and AirAsia staff at gate to board notice the incorrect date and printed it from my phone. Surely there is an office where you currently are (perhaps you hotel) that will assist Provide a tip. I wouldn't want to be going to airport and chasing up somewhere to print. BTW eVisa does not need to be colour

Indeed. I actually make a deposit on day of application for extension. 1000b as that's minimum for Kasikorn FD account. At the same time the bank provides the bank letter which includes the deposit..

He is using FD account. I have never provided bank statements for my FD account at CW.

What exactly do you want to print. If for example an eVisa from mail on phone the airline would generally help. If it's for reentry permit (your other thread) immigration will do that 200b)

Just to be clear what the "bank letter" is about..... The bank letter confirms you as the owner of the FD account and balance on day you obtain letter. The proof that the funds have been in the account for the year is demonstrated by the bank book (and photocopies of book pages) Most banks have auto rollover when maturity date arrives.
