There is no insurance requirement for non O extensions based on marriage or retirement. The only insurance requirement is for extension based on retirement from a non O-A

From one of my previous posts.. "At best you could live ongoing on extensions based on marriage which requires 400k in bank for only 2 months" So I have posted easy option. If you cannot read into the OP his main concern is not family. Again read from OP "WE HAVE NEVER LIVED TOGETHER" ????

I have an opinion. You are entitled to yours.. Again from OP words.... "We've never lived together but we get on well when I've stayed for a few months.".... Part time husband father. "We have never lived together" "When I have stayed few months" Thread is a wind up surely

Read this 3 times from the OP.. "I'm 72. Australian. I have a luuk kreung daughter who is 11 years old and a Thai wife. We've never lived together but we get on well when I've stayed for a few months." That's not remotely a husband and father. Laughable thread.

When you do autofill you can scroll down to "date of entry" and change the date. Unfortunately I did that after trip to Oz and online not approved. Subsequently did report in person CW. Thought my next online would be cherry ripe. Again remained "pending" Again did it in person. Balls up.

I find these type of posts poor advice. The OP via his own statement has not even lived with "wife and daughter" Typical farang statement to imply improving daughter life by moving to Oz. Clearly not a wealthy guy and being Oz I'm aware of cost living there. The OP pension is 40k baht.

Good plan. I once travelled for best part of a year and did the transfer on same visit as my 12 month extension. At CW it's done at same L desk. One reason for this was that CW would not transfer my reentry permit as it was issued at DMK airport and reentry desk at CW refused transfer....."Do at airport" At that time I was flying to Saigon every month. No issue.

I would just do the return self addressed envelope with basic stamp. On the current immigration website (link earlier) it does not indicate EMS required on return. You could include 38b stamps to cover that requirement. BTW: I use two B4 envelopes has previously worked a treat. Just for others here is address for CW.

Are you joking. You state "never lived together" Get on well "when I have stayed for few months. Don't kid yourself that you are a parent or what many would consider a husband/partner. To top it off you are elderly and some would class as poor with a 40k monthly income. The train has left the station. At best you could live ongoing on extensions based on marriage which requires 400k in bank for only 2 months.

Great. So what's your question. When should you transfer info for old to new pp? Answer: Anytime prior to applying for next extension. Could even do it same visit. OR ... You travel internationally with both passports and go to immigration when it suits.

The thread is CW specific and yes recently there have been issues for some folk even when using magnifying glass for autofill for CW. One recently chap did online 14 days early at CW. Still pending into grace period. Attended in person only to receive "approved" status on his cell the day he arrived at CW.

There is nothing stopping you from doing the online report 15 days early along with mail option. If the online is approved that does not cause issue for your mail in report. At CW Mail in is processed after your due date. If online approved then your return mail will just start "already accepted"

Until it doesn't work. Several posts of issues at CW online recently. My most recent 2 online reports to CW have remained "pending" into grace period despite being filed 14 days prior to due date. Resulting in trips to CW for in person report. This is despite previous online reports being successful.

Ridiculous. You are a tenant. The reason for the coded lock is for owner to be able to change code after you leave. Silly thread.

Any valid visa , reentry permit remain valid from the old passport. It's common to travel with new pp and the cancelled pp presented to airline and immigration together. OP, if you decide to attend immigration to have stamps etc transferred to new pp, be aware that some offices are now asking to see your bankbook.

The agent would most likely be obtaining an extension based on retirement (assume you are over 50). You do realize that the 400k only needs to be in bank for two months for annual extensions and after final stamp can be used. In your situation use of agent would be poor option. An option would be border bounce to enter visa exempt and obtain non O based on marriage and subsequent extension. Or go to Savannakhet to obtain a ME Non O marriage (visa valid for 12 months) Many threads re this.

Why the usual going off on tangent. The OP was specific. For eVisa applied in UK. All that is required is PP photo page. End of.

Seems that your friend has a Non O-A. If that's the case he could exit and reenter prior to expiry of the Non O-A and be stamped in for 12 months provided he has the required insurance for that period. If he actually has a ME Non O visa valid for 12 months then exit Thailand and reenter prior to expiry he would be given 3 month stamp

So post pic of your stamp. Your date of arrival counts as day 1.

To apply for 12 month extension from a non O retirement the 800k baht needs to be in bank account for 2 months. Not 3. However keep posting incorrect info.

Your funny.. Read post just above yours from @Pattaya57 That post is correct. Suggest when you know nothing about immigration rules learn from some that do.

Not at all. In your examples ... Visa exempt or some post visa waiver is a stamp that provides 30 day permission of stay. Your second example "30 day visa entry " does not exist..

Stop posting rubbish. There is NO such thing as 90 day extension. There is also NO such thing as VOA for UK citizens. There is a visa exempt entry that provides 30 day stamp. In that period you can obtain a Non O visa which provides a 90 day stamp. In the last 30 days you can obtain a 12 month extension. It's NOT a visa. Geez

I give up. Have posted links to threads and also few detailed explanations. There NO such thing as a Non O visa for 15 months. There is a non O that provides 90 day stamp From that you can obtain a 12month extension. BTW It does not extend your non O visa. Rather it extends your permission of stay. Your non O is used. It's a single entry visa. Read some of the threads I posted to understand the procedure. Otherwise stop poor information

It's not a 30 day free visa. It's not a visa. Just a 30 day permission of stay. He can obtain a non O from "conversion" from visa exempt entry. He will need a TM87 and meet financial requirements. If he requires more time prior to non O application he can obtain 30 day extension
