Nup... There would have been another reason other than overstay.

That's a good thinking. If the guy can make it to Bangkok and assume flying out of BKK then rail link to airport would be my suggestion.

OP, your friend will receive a ONE year ban and fine of 20,000b. More than 12 month would result in 3 year ban. Nothing untoward will occur. Not a lot of extra time required. Obviously needs to keep head down getting to airport

Indeed. I'm currently in Saigon and last night chatting with a Oz guy. He is flying to Bangkok today visa exempt. I told him that almost a certainty he will be asked for onward flight. Didn't bother to tell him about "onward.ticket.com" option. We went through booking process which took all of 2 minutes and since he has vn WiFi he could step away from counter to book throw away ticket. 1500b

Try that from nearby countries without visa...and low cost airlines eg AirAsia eg Saigon to Bangkok

One form with one picture.

Folk need to apply with at least 2 weeks remaining on permission of stay if obtaining Non O at immigration.. For your extension you can apply anytime. Most apply up to 30 days early in case there is an issue.

Don't understand. Your non O visa will have a validity period to enter Thailand. If you enter Thailand in that period you will be given a 90 day permission of stay. In the last 30 days apply for extension with the 800k having been in bank for 2 months +

Dates don't matter. Provide your own TM8 with photo and that's it. Or opt to have immigration do the process for 200b. Did one last Wednesday.

2 months prior Obviously you have a Thai bank account in your name only?

Have you considered 'mail option' Is the landlord prepared to provide you with anything such as copy blue book and signed ID card

No. Perhaps in your immigration office but no so at places such as CW

You had a Non O-A. For every annual extension of you "permission of stay" you require insurance. As a result many folk have killed off their Non O-A and subsequently obtained a Non O based on retirement. (no insurance requirement) If someone has a Non O-A and married to a Thai they can obtain extensions based on marriage and no insurance requirement.

First up I over reacted with my previous post as it didn't take nearly as long I would have imagined. It's just that there were approx 15 and in my many had never seen que like that. It was ALL reentry permits. The overstay desk guy was doing step one and sliding the pp,s to reentry. Interestingly not one had prepared the TM8 and we're paying 200b for io to prepare form. From when I walked into airport I was given boarding card and airside with reentry permit not much over one hour.

You will not be able to obtain a certificate of residence in Bangkok as it requires a 90 day report receipt (TM47)

Which immigration office. Some offices do the 90 day report when someone does an extension. In reality 90 day reports have nothing to do with extensions.

Warning: for all my banging on about obtaining reentry permit and it's a breeze. It ain't. I'm currently sitting in substantial que at DMK. Advice is to allow lot of extra time. Very few farang in the que.

It's unusual for airline to ask for onward ticket if you have a visa. Certainly the case for airlines to request onward flight if flying visa exempt. You clearly are well aware of what to do if refused by airline. Step away from counter and book a "throw away flight'' Obviously you require internet.

Can be both. Certainly it's more often than not an airline requirement. Thai immigration does not have that as a requirement. Some nearby countries immigration do. Attempting to fly to Thailand with less than 6 months validity the issue will be with the airline at departure.

Frankly don't understand some threads. After your last post two folk have suggested that check validity of your Non O-A (if indeed that's what you have) . You were online in last hour and contribute nothing. Actually I'm flying to Saigon tomorrow and obtaining multi reentry at DMK. Normally would post a report of experience. But nup ..what's the point.

Not everyone use Bangkok Bank. Many threads with reports of issues. This thread attached is Bangkok Bank specific. https://aseannow.com/topic/1275217-wise-money-transfer-now-not-showing-as-international-transfer/

For the number of visits per year you outlined you will have zero issues. As you are aware the visa exempt entry (30 days) can be extended by 30 days.

It's actually "for long term stay" The last option for "reason for transfer" It does not guarantee will be shown as FTT. I use Kasikorn which is also partner bank with WISE.

OP, There is no 180 day rule. However as correctly pointed out above , the io may question why you are not using non O with extension and reentry permit. However you mention "2 or 3 times per year" Zero issues with that. Many tourists visit far more often than that each year.
