This won't be of much help, however here is my recent experience.... The io wanted bank statements for my extension retirement. Long story short she was very young and was in the wrong. I dealt with her senior and suggested that I would provide 12 month statements next time. She accepted that. l put it down to the old "save face" rubbish.

The OP mentioned "agent"... Pretty safe guess that no actual volunteering will take place.

You should be fine. Using money in bank method you shouldn't even require bank statements. Your bank book pages print outs should be sufficient. Make sure that you apply early enough to obtain bank statements if they ask for unnecessary stuff.

Yes. As I mentioned in every post that I made ...the io will still process your entry. There is nothing new with regards boarding pass. Here is another thread if you can be willing to learn. I recommend all travellers to thailand and other destinations to retain their boarding pass to show immigration on arrival. Ignore time now.

First up have read of this current thread. Not the best but talks about boarding pass. Reason not interested in you post about your vast experience is that's it's incorrect. I have mentioned that the io will still process you on arrival however they do require it and just accept that you are not familiar with the process. Most likely due to many travellers not being aware of it. It was also required previously when Arrival cards (TM6) were required. It also occurs at other airports (not all) . I'm posting what is common practice and not your experience.

Suspended at airports. Still issued at land border crossings

Don't even think about non O volunteering. Meaning one provided by agent. The grief comes later.

You have a ME Non O marriage? Should be till Feb 22.

Prior to covid I was flying every month to Saigon and back and many other places. For years. Most recent flight into BKK was December 6 from OZ. Boarding passes are always asked for. There are many folk that do not hand one over and are still processed. The immigration officers must be so tired of telling/asking people for them. The TM6 has nothing to do with boarding pass. Not interested in your experience.

The io at airport possibly would not even notice. Thinking he would be stamped out without issue. However the stamp is incorrect and needs to be fixed. The OP states that it's not to his disadvantage however it is and he should have pressed the case with immigration.

ukrules is correct. You could be placed on overstay if you just remain in Thailand till the date indicated by the stamp. You need to go to immigration office and have the error corrected.

Previously you obtained a "letter if approval" which you presented with pp on arrival and waited and finally they returned pp with one page visa sticker. This is for countries that do not qualify for visa waiver. USA and AU being 2 examples. Correctly only eVisa 30 day tourist visa is available and that's done online prior to travel. BTW you state that you have been here for years. Your visa is long gone. You are living in Thailand on extensions of stay.

Surely a joke? If he is from country that Thailand provides visa exempt entry then why would he need a visa.

Yes. Have read odd report of a particular office refusing to issue non O (think Samui? not sure) He will need 15 + days remaining on his permission of stay. (21 at CM)

It's not an issue. Assume that you returned to Thailand with reentry permit or existing visa. Within 90 days of arriving in Thailand you can make your 90 day report online.

You would need to transfer stamps and visa info prior to next extension. Some people travel with both passports for flights etc.

What type of visa do you have? I assume it's not a multi entry visa such as a non O-A. You state "just came back from visiting America" Added note: if your passport is USA you need to apply for a single entry 30 day tourist evisa to enter Vietnam.

Yes.

You can buy reentry permit. Single is 1000baht. Multiple is 3800baht.

It's a boring story and not new . The covid thing gave you extra couple of years This thread re attempting to exit and after being refused and then doing same thing weeks later with overstay and finally asking for advice how to get your belongings out of Thailand is a Monty python sketch.

Please explain When have policies been changed. Most find border bounce straight forward unless your history is of concern.

Your thread from the start is a train wreck and very embarrassing. You from the start were advised to exit at another border crossing. Then weeks later attempted same thing but this time with overstay. Added to issue is that left belongings in Thailand. Now complain about that Ridiculous! Enjoy Cambodia.

Extremely interesting report. Thanks for sharing Almost cannot believe the rubbish Thai gestapo immigration police are coming up with. However nothing ceases to amaze.

My understanding is that home visit for extensions based on marriage is more about showing marriage is genuine. Hence the neighbors and even sometimes pictures inside the home. This is also reflected in all the extra requirements that marriage has over retirement. Don't follow the home visit for visa/extensions based on retirement. They already would have a TM30 and perhaps a TM47 or lease. What's the purpose of home visit.
