I'm addition a ME Non O visa valid for one year is still valid after divorce.

Excellent report. Ta.

Most ridiculous post so far. The OP has a METV. Read up the legality of this option. He was asking about border run options.

You need to narrow the inquiry. There are plenty of companies that include fly+hotels etc even AirAsia. Simple Google search lists plenty As for day and half day tours from PP to for example Killing Fields...there are travel agents on every corner of PP. If purpose of trip is to obtain a new tourist visa there are better options. Saigon being one.

TM6 required at land border crossings not at airports. The tm6 # etc will not be required by Thai immigration for such things as extensions etc.

I guess it's also about how the bank accounts are used. In my case with an FD account 600k + and a dedicated savings account (only used for immigration) with balance always 200k + it's a very easy process for the io. If however totals for each account has to be cross checked and perhaps allowing the total funds to reduce to 400k etc its bit of a pain.

Well that's a personal choice re which country. Both are extremely different imo. However keep in mind that a border bounce is very different to getting to places of interest

Attempt at humor? Fail.

It is also 30 days. You are concentrating on wrong things. The biggest difference to border run to Laos vs Cambodia is your current location and transport preference. By way of example ...I live Bangkok and would do flight to Udon Thani and short hop to friendship bridge Nong Khai. Others perhaps long minivan to Cambodia. Not difficult to choose what best suits you.

Are you crazy. Ridiculous. The owner tells you it's unavailable and you dig your heels in Have you traveled previously as a tourist.

You can report up to 15days early. In any event just use your existing (soon to be previous ) address

Not required.

30 days.

That's is for your address. Just happens you live at her place. If you applied for extension retirement and rented condo etc they may ask for rental contract or TM30 or whatever. The married bit is side issue.

Correct.

You keep bringing this up. From memory you were rejected at Cambodian land border and advised to try at another. Then returned to same land border some weeks later with overstay. Your experience is not typical. Also from memory you did not use border run company. The guy you quoted specifically mentioned Laos. He won't have an issue.

Use land border if have extensive visa exempt entries.

You may have not required the TM30 however that is not the law relating to TM30. Anytime that you enter the country if by new visa or visa exempt you should file a new TM30. If no intention or need to deal with immigration then you could avoid filing one. The OP intention is to apply for extension. The OP will attend immigration and the io will see visa exempt entry and should ask the OP for a TM30 made after date of last entry.

Yes you need make new TM30. Unless you reenter on existing visa or reentry permit. Also you may/will need to provide copy of TM30 filing for your 30 day extension.

Hopefully can slip a question in regards AU passport renewal. Oz folk deal with their embassy directly. Just checking if this is possible. Apply for passport renewal early new year. Travel out of Thailand most of February. If the pp is posted out how do they cancel my existing pp. My experience in the past is that identify strip cut off when pick up new pp. TIA.

OP, here is a link to the process. Has info that outlines what you need to do. Pay particular attention to any post from ubonjoe..

Always felt that there are lot of nutters on AseanNow. This thread confirms that.

No limit with a visa or reentry permit. For visa exempt entry it's 2 per calendar year.
