So what type of accommodation did you move into in Bangkok. If renting a condo etc the owner can/should do s TM30 for you and you can ask for screenshot of it being filed

Yes a reentry to Thailand starts the clock.. You can obtain a reentry permit on same visa to immigration for your extension or obtain it at airport.

Some fields you can skip. The one you mention is one example Since when is non O visa not issued. What was the non O based on previously?

You are close. It's 2 months prior and 3 months after application and not below 400k in other months. Many folk opt to just leave 800k + all year round to avoid slip ups. And YES both methods are checked retrospectively. For cross over ...funds in bank to monthly transfers my understanding is both need to be shown . (Without embassy letter)

I dont see it that way. By way of example.... I have just now obtained current extension retirement using money in bank. I'm thinking of changing to income method. For the next 12 months I will do monthly transfers and ALSO maintain funds in bank. When io looks at my bank statements they will see that I complied with money in bank and should accept monthly transfers for next extension. The requirements are checked retrospectively. Exit Thailand and reenter and obtain new non O then can use your monthly 12 month transfers.

I'm only guessing...seems your agent may have used money in bank for current extension and funds (money in bank) were not maintained for current year. Yes the 12 monthly transfers you can show in bank however immigration will also look at your bank account for meeting money in the bank method. IMO .,With 12 month of transfers you will be able to exit Thailand reenter visa exempt. Obtain a non O retirement and obtain extension using monthly transfers

Thanks for report. Ditto: My last two extension retirement and most recent (Oct 4) at CW required a TM47. Never required for my previous many years. So this is now a requirement at CW. Did you provide a TM30?

Really think you need to think it through Regards your overstay 1 day ... You will not be fined. Yes overstay stamp but one day is insignificant. If concerned about that you could obtain a 30 day extension to cover the one day (overkill) You have many options.

Don't take this to the bank however the insurance requirement for a non O (3 months) was a requirement during covid times. That may still be listed on website but thinking no longer required. Have you considered just returning to Thailand visa exempt and use TM87 to apply for non O in Thailand. Since you have Thai bank account in place this would be an easy option

Why bother obtaining non O retirement in London given the fact you plan to exit Thailand during the 90 day stamp. Yes a reentry permit would enable you to do that. Do you have a Thai bank account? You can obtain a Non O retirement in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry..

Your posts have been strange. Just state clearly what is the plan. You need enter Thailand and exit after 10 days? How long will you be out of Thailand after a 10 day stay.. Hells Bells.

OP, are you using this link https://bangkok.immigration.go.th/en/onlineservice-and-publicguide/ I just tried to use it and it's rejecting my info (email, password) Most likely I have to re register. So over this rubbish.

Have you met the financial requirements for your current extension. If the agent "covered" those requirements then you will not be able to do your next extension without using an agent OR exit Thailand and start over

No problem. Just exit Thailand prior to your current stamp expiry

You are on extension based on marriage. What is the plan after Extension expires?

You cannot "pause" your permission of stay stamp. Given that you state you mention FEW MONTHS in Europe you will need to start over. If your country provides eVisa for Thailand you could obtain a non O retirement while in Europe or return to Thailand visa exempt and apply for new Non O based on retirement using TM87 form. You must have a bank account in place with funds in that account so simple process to start over..

Not being pedantic...but think you mean that your 12 month extension stamp was issued in Trang then you at minimum would need to do a TM30. Have you spoken to your agent. Where is he located.

The requirements for your next extension will be the same each. Year. Just to be clear ...you do not have a marriage visa or a retirement visa. You have a temporary permission of stay that can be extended by 12 months each year. The extension can be based on marriage or retirement. Retirement has more difficult financial requirements whereas the extension based on marriage has many document requirements

OP, you may wish to read this thread as it discusses returning to Thailand having previously had a "volunteering visa" (bent one). https://aseannow.com/topic/1243227-has-anyone-re-entered-thailand-after-expiration-of-a-dodgy-volunteer-visa/

Scrutinized yes....denied entry very unlikely. Friend of mine obtained one of the rubbish "Volunteer visas" back when it was thought by many that the 45 day extensions would end. After his volunteer visa he returned to Oz and year later he returned to Thailand and was questioned by io at BKK.

2 years out of Thailand, no issue at all to return . Visa exempt if you wish or tourist visa for you. Seems she can be given 90 stamp no visa..

You do not need to "let them know". You are referring to TM30. Not required. Also not required for international travel returning with Re-entry permit.. However some rogue office are requesting folk to do TM30 what you outline. CM being one.

OP, You have a permission of stay. Exit Thailand without a reentry permit and you can return to Thailand with tourist visa , Visa exempt etc. One option is to enter visa exempt with option of 30 day extension or 60 day "extension to visit wife"

Which immigration office

I'm not so sure. If the OP obtained his non O at certain office then my understanding is that for his first extension it would need to be done at that office (Trang) A TM30 (change of office) won't cut it Of course after initial extension he can move to another province and do TM30 and do subsequent extensions.
