Not on ONE visa exempt entry but back to back of course. It done all the time Enter Thailand by air visa exempt obtain 30 day extension. Do a border run (or flight out/back) for second visa exempt. Plus extension. That's 120 days there. Do another border run plus extension. Outlined in threads daily. There is NO "90 day rule"

You possibly didn't bother reading it. The thread is concerning changes to TM30 rules. That occured in 2020 Specifically para 2.2

I haven't read one. You cannot even state what you were doing at CW that required you to provide a TM30. Personally my most recent 12 month extension last Nov. Few weeks back 90 day report. A certificate of residence. All at CW none required TM30. Also recent trips to Oz and Saigon and trips in other provinces in Thailand. No TM30 required. You are posting misinformation

Here is a few examples I posted earlier. "Demanding for what? Annual extensions? 90 day reports? 30 day extension? Be specific." So what service did you attend CW immigration that required a TM30. Simple question.

Again provide details. What (service) were you doing at CW that required you to provide a TM30. People don't go to CW for the food court.

I asked for one. Bye.

That should have been answered by the io with "get appropriate visa" In your case parent of Thai child. Visa exempt entries every month would now be problematic especially when you had option for a suitable visa

Post one. Also put context to your posts. "..CW demanding for TM30s again" Demanding for what? Annual extensions? 90 day reports? 30 day extension? Be specific.

Google "non O extensions Thailand" Select "mfa.go.ta" All the various non O visas are listed. For "marriage" and "retirement" think they are #18 and 20. The term marriage is lot referred to. Retirement is. Check it out. Regards your non O-A post and link earlier. ....in the context of this thread the OP would not be applying for a non O-A. Off topic.

Read all immigration guidelines. The various visas such as non O attach a "based on" For non O there are various tags. Common ones are "based on retirement " and "based on marriage". Even the "based on marriage" is shorthand. Based on "over 50" is not mentioned. The over 50 is a requirement same as financials.

Thai immigration refer to obtain "appropriate visa" . 10 years back I was obtaining triple entry tourist visas to Thailand from Saigon as I was traveling to Saigon every month at that time. I was over 50. The immigration officer at Thai consulate told me that I should have a retirement visa because I live Thailand. (shown by pp stamps) . Since visa exempt entries via air have no limit you could argue that I could live in Thailand visiting Vietnam every month. It won't work.

Absolute nonsense. In your case you changed address. Yes a TM30 is required for change of address.

Your post has no context or relevance Yes if dealing with CW with (for example) on a visa exempt entry and requiring a 30 day extension then yes a TM30 would be required. If in the example I gave of someone ongoing living in Thailand with continuous permission of stay then TM30 is not required after overnight stays is other provinces and international exit reentry.

You do not need to be retired to obtain visa such as non O based on retirement and extensions from that visa based on retirement

If your friend was after 9 month stay then METV would be best option.. For 6 months it's borderline Depends on personal circumstances

Yes. Yes Yes Yes. However better to fly Bangkok to Udon Thani and do two border visa exempt entries.

That is a rogue office. Not the only one. With reentry permit there is No WAY you need to do a new TM30. Just to demonstrate how ridiculous if you were were dealing with adjacent CW office a TM30 would not be required.

This thread I posted in link to current thread It's years old. Join into current thread

Suggest that you read post from moderator Pink Mist (page one) . Your post is off topic.

In a nutshell. For those expats that have ongoing stay in Thailand on continuous permission of stay there is now Zero need to file new TM30 when returning to place of residence from inter province AND international travel. For run of the mill tourists they can ignore TM30 unless they have dealings with immigration such as 30 day extensions to visa exempt or tourist visa etc As usual the problem is that some (very few) immigration offices have ignored this change of rules. In addition the TM30 is now also used for change of residence for the expat group I referenced earlier. Just for one example. I personally have travelled to Oz last December. Travelled to Vietnam in Feb this year. Been to other provinces in Thailand. Not done ONE TM30. Ongoing extension with reentry permit. Dealing with CW TM30 not required. Recently done a TM47 and a certificate of residence. Also TDL. TM30 not required.

Please share experience. KK was previously most go to imm office.

Mainly because it's not some. It's most. I have contact with agents. Retirement extensions getting around financials is their bread and butter. Clearly you seem to have never contacted one. A reminder of the topic. This thread is specifically regarding extensions based on retirement.

Yes. The reentry permit office is located Zone 2 after security check and PRIOR to passport control. BKK offer 200b service fee and that includes filling in TM8 including photo. Or print out a TM8 and have it filled in ready to hand over. 3800b multi and 1000b single reentry. It's quick and efficient.

Back to the topic.... "Agent for retirement extension Bangkok" .... Most agents send pp up country for process. Even some folk in Bangkok use Pattaya agents.

Purely so you can be familiar with ASEAN NOW....when you put someone on ignore their posts can be viewed. I never bother unless they quote me. As you did. Regards my posts that most agent assisted extensions based on retirement using money in the bank is to avoid actually having required funds in bank is obvious and a slam dunk. By comparison MUCH smaller number would just be for documentation assistance. In any event all off topic (as usual)
