This has been discussed earlier. Also 3 visa exempts plus extensions does not match up with your stated time spent in Thailand. One land entry last year plus two this year visa exempt. Plus one via air prior to that to enter Thailand? Seems like 4 already. That would match with your stated dates. Now planning another. In the second part of another post you indicate that you have only spent "hours out of Thailand in past 8 months. IMO very little chance of entering Thailand via air visa exempt. Especially with your planned ONE night stay out of Thailand. Surely this thread is not serious.

The OP has already done 4 visa exempt entries back to back. If he tries for a tourist visa imo would be issued void. Also don't think he will have success with 5th visa exempt via air. He even plans only couple of days out of Thailand. He messed up with last land border bounce.

Should not require airline ticket however he has one so all good. He also needs TM7 and photo. Basic photocopies of pp pages and TM30

Yes two visa exempt entries per calendar year via land borders. Nothing to do with where you are living. Obviously different for some nationalities.

Why would there be an issue. You are spending a month out of Thailand after short visits. VERY different situation to the OP..

I would still suggest the extension even though being in Nong Khai you can step over friendship bridge. However that also involves cost. 1900b extension is a no brainer.

As pointed out..... One thing you require is a certificate of residence OR letter from your embassy. In your previous post you mention paying 500b to immigration for "white slip" That is the certificate of residence. All good at CM as they accepted your TM30 to apply for COR The thing is that won't work in Bangkok. Also some countries embassies do not provide "address letter" AU and USA being just 2 examples. Hence some folk need to use agents. Usual cost approx 5k

No. That is just contact information page. The e-Visa application would not require that Here is a cut and paste from general question French pp questions...... 1 I've asked the question to an employee at the French Embassy in Bangkok working on issuing new passports does accept: she couldn't think of any use of the address indicated on a French passport. So it's unlikely that the address indicated on a French passport has any major role, if any

Seems that you are referring to certificate of residence. Yes that's required to open a bank account and other things such as TDL etc. The point is the OP referred to Siam Legal. At a guess he is dealing with CW. You cannot obtain a certificate of residence from CW without having a TM47 receipt. Not possible with a tourist visa. Is possible apparently at CM as they provided one to you with a TM30 being enough.

This is best option.. Which immigration office?

Get off the high horse. First up.....you do not need to wait for 800k to season to apply for non O. The funds need to be in bank on day of application only. Subsequently you will apply for 12 month extension (it's not a visa) . For that you will need to have the funds seasoned for 2 months. As for your other post about opening bank account.... It certainly would not fly in most provinces as you would now require a certificate of residence. What is the "white slip" you mentioned. Added issue in Bangkok is that it's impossible to obtain residence certificate with a tourist visa. Read the thread.

You are very confused. You entered on a non O that gave you a 90 day permission of stay stamp. You subsequently applied for a 12 month extension based on marriage. That has an under consideration period of approx a month. The visit the photos and witnesses etc all very normal..

Assume you are using this one. https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/register/add BTW: I also once did a postal when I was couple of days "pending" online. Subsequently online was approved and later the postal was sent back with a noticed "already approved"

The OP asked very simple questions. One question he did not ask is regarding legality yet you along with many others find it necessary to always include this opinion in posts.

Stick to what OP asks rather than comments regarding legality of agents assisted non O and subsequent extension. Very boring.

Have taken both. Last visit in Feb I took the #152. I take whichever is leaving next. "Cheaper" ...that's funny.

Rule of thumb is flown back to place of departure. You may be able to push for flown back to passport country. ie Finland. I suggested Saigon as district 1 (tourist area) is a great place and the 109 direct bus to that area is 1usd and shortish drive compared to KL airport to city center. Edit: just checked. Finnish citizens have 15 day visa exempt entry to Vietnam. Also can obtain e-Visa for longer stays. Not my business but surprised you haven't explored places in Asia other than couple of days out of Thailand.

Ok. Depending on your location currently in Thailand you could consider best country to fly to and return. I would at very least have a plan B if refused entry on arrival you will be flown back to point of departure. I'm assuming Finnish citizens have visa exempt entry to countries such as Vietnam. There are flights from Saigon to CNX

Personally think you have been lucky. At a guess perhaps border runs to Malaysia. A 5th visa exempt very problematic. You just state now 2 visa exempt via land last year and two this year. That's 4. How did you first enter Thailand. You presumably arrived via air from somewhere. What is total time spent in Thailand.

You should have been clear in your OP So 4 visa exempt entries with extensions back to back and now going for a fifth. Haven't bothered with a tourist visa. You should have obtained a METV at the start. CNX is always suggested as a soft entry. Can't imagine how any io would allow you to enter again visa exempt with couple of days out of Thailand. Try a couple of weeks/months out. If you have only used one visa exempt via land for this calendar year then try border bounce. Definitely not entry via air

Yes. Remember to change your entry date when you autofill.

I'm guessing because OP asked about Vientiane.

Seems that the school is your agent. There are couple of different tier level of schools for studing Thai language. There is specific forum for that. Not directly answers your question however this thread explains informal schools and has few posts from ubonjoe. https://aseannow.com/topic/1248267-price-for-an-ed-visa/

Since the OP left after starting thread ...what do you mean by "The school is genuine" OP have read of this thread for added info. https://aseannow.com/topic/1283492-will-i-be-denied-re-entry-due-to-volunteer-visa-in-passport/

What do you mean by "legitimate language school" ?
