If you are referring to extensions from a non O based on retirement it is 2 months prior to day of application for first extension and ongoing extensions

OP, some info here. https://aseannow.com/topic/1237783-extension-retirement-at-cw-report/. Also detailed one here. Note: For my last report they insisted on TM47 receipt. Not applicable for those doing first time extension.

Yes. With my recent one the approval email had a link and that opened the actual evisa. I then took screenshot and printed it. Note that was eVisa for Vietnam. Imagine similar steps for eVisa to Thailand.

@Yodarapper This is good info posted by @KhunBENQ.... Apart from that regarding agent.. I don't generally use agents for anything, however in March I will use BSR bikes (plenty of other agents) to assist with booking time slot etc for my 2 to 5 year licence. Still need to obtain own residence certificate, medical etc. Walk INS are available now however I used them during covid and found it good value. It's basically hand holding but imo worth it. 1800baht which included cost of licences.

Requirements for extension based on parent of Thai child vary from various immigration offices. Some would only require 400 on day of application for extension. As I posted earlier in this thread I doubt immigration would allow him to switch from based on marriage to based on support of Thai child while still married. In any event I didn't notice OP mention that he has Thai child.

Poor communication on both sides. Why jump in with the lawyer comment. Which school did you plan on attending. Even ED visas arranged within Thailand are generally done through agent dealing with a school.

Sounds like the passport is not in your possession. How did you enter Thailand? Tourist visa....Visa exempt? Thinking best you pay agent quote in exchange for your pp. Deal with 90 day reporting separately.

Extension based on what. The non O was based on what. BTW what's the "husband" got to do with things.

What permission of stay do you have in Thailand. Do you intend to deal with immigration. For example apply for extension etc ?

You would do 90 day report using same address as your previous report. December hotel irrelevant

I know who I would take notice of. Actually someone that is familiar with first hand experience. Just checked some Laos discussion forums and as expected not an issue. This is specifically referring to tourist places such as this thread staying couple nights in some random hotel Vientiane. No issue.

I have seen that previously. Similar rules applied in Vietnam however that seems to not be enforced. Certainly not in tourist areas such as Old Quarter Hanoi and District 1 Saigon. Doubt if it would be an issue in Vientiane.

His gf is Lao (thread heading)

Someone will be along with first hand experience. I know of a guy that got into some issues however that was staying with Lao gf family. Had significant issues. Vientiane....I doubt it very much an issue.

No

How did you reenter Thailand. If you have a multi entry visa then no TM30 required. If you did order bounce and reentered visa exempt then you need to do a TM30. Edit: I just see now in thread you started asking about visa exempt entry from Laos. So in regards to your question regarding TM30.....you need a new TM30 when you reenter Thailand.

For DTL in Bangkok they want a residence certificate or letter from embassy.

I assume that you have done 90 day reports in the past at CW. By stating that ...."I just had my visa renewed..." Assume that you mean a new annual extension. Either way the desk for residence certificate will ask for your last TM47 receipt.

It's true that requirements change according to where you live. You indicate that this visit you entered on tourist visa (60 days) When you enter next time if you do so again on a tourist visa or visa exempt you will need to to a new TM30.

OP, which immigration office do you use. This is important.

Take your most recent TM47 receipt. Immigration will want that for application for residence certificate. I'm in similar spot. Went to Oz last December and this week going to Vietnam. When return I need to renew TDL from 2 to 5 years. I will take along my last 90 day report.

In this thread it's recommended not to use downloaded form at Jomtien. Weird. Some other relevant information in the thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1275382-doing-my-yearly-marriage-what-papers-at-jomtien/

There is a 57 page thread on this topic.. Check it out. https://aseannow.com/topic/1265383-ltr-visa-is-now-available-for-long-term-residency/

It's actually not so difficult in Phuket to open a bank account as it is in other places but still not simple on a tourist visa. Most likely requires a residence certificate. The transfer part from abroad is simple. Many folk use WISE.

That appears as you pointed out but never read it enforced. A TM30 should be enough to show immigration for application for non O.
