Is this a joke. It's your thread and you have asked a question few times in the thread and now you are expert. Regarding TM30 ...I have been ongoing in Thailand 10 years. Have never done a TM30. Ever for any dealing with CW. I applied for certificate of residence two weeks ago. She want my most recent TM47 (which I did at same time) and 3 basic photocopies of pp pages. When did you last apply for certificate of residence at CW. Me 3 times.

No. If TM47 is provided then that is all that is necessary. TM30 irrelevant. Without a 90 day report you cannot obtain certificate of residence from CW

You require passport. Basic copies of pp pages and TM47 receipt. Nothing to do with TM30. Did this at CW two weeks ago. Tip: if your 90 day report window is open use appointment system for the 90 report and the io will process your certificate of residence at same time.

Typed with 100% confidence. Sadly 100% incorrect..

Ridiculous post. I'm living in Thailand on extensions based on retirement from a non O. Very simple annual extension. Hardly millions . I maintain 800k baht for the financials. Easy peasy. I don't find Thai people hate me at all. Quite the opposite. Very sad post from you.

Stop. I have explained the term "retirement visa" means and conveys zero information for replies in forum. You are just being ... If someone requires information often the main thing is current status in Thailand. Be that extensions or visa or whatever. "Retirement Visa" means nothing

I intend to do same in person at Oz embassy. Can you please list the docs you provided. I'm aware of the photo office that embassy staff recommend. Also how was payment made. Vaguely recall cash not acceptable

I'm not confused. In the visa forums "Retirement Visa" conveys nothing. Could be a Non O-A Or Non O based on retirement Could mean Extensions to either of those 2 visas. Or ME non O retirement. All different.

No

You would not be obtaining a ME Non O retirement inside Thailand. That is a visa with one year validity and can be applied for at Savannakhet You can obtain a Non O in Thailand from a tourist visa entry conversion using TM86 and other requirements. Subsequently obtain 12 month extension. You would also need to obtain multi reentry permit. You would need to check with Jomtien if they are still processing a non O from visa exempt entry using form TM86. Medical insurance is not required for non O or extensions Given the nature of your work and travel you could consider using agent Especially living in Jomtien where many good ones

When the immigration officer says so.

Back in the time when there was triple entry tourist visas I was using them as I flew to Vietnam every month. At Saigon Thai consulate I was applying for this triple tourist visa the IO made this comment.... "You are over 50 next time need apply retirement visa" Obviously noting ongoing time spent in Thailand.

Definitely airport good option. For my recent extension I opted to obtain the reentry permit at immigration on same visit as I plan to obtain new pp soon..ish..

It's an open secret that Oz embassy want folk that apply in person to obtain photo from certain nearby shop to embassy.

From the OP.... "I've been entering Thailand this way for over 10 years" The OP is NOT a tourist.. In future could consider ME non O retirement from Savannakhet or obtain non O and subsequent extension also multi reentry permit

Not personally but this has come up even prior to covid. Oil gas etc workers for many years just obtained 30 day exempt. That is becoming not an option. In your case the io many have noticed the previous non O retirement. Knew you had visa option.

That will work fine for you as you already have your new pp. Anyone that plans to obtain new pp should be aware that if you obtain the reentry permit at airport and subsequently obtain a new pp your local immigration office cannot transfer the stamp and will require traveling with both pp..

Yes. 90 days from your enter is your new due date. Ignore email . Computer generated. I had same situation. If you do it online when window opens remember to type in your new "entry date" . The rest you can autofill

Yes obtain TM30 from condo . Usually folk apply for 30 extension couple of weeks prior to expiry of permit. Good idea to make appointment. They word very well and yes you need to make hard copy of confirmation email. Time slot does not matter with appointment as they run on time. Just select what best suits you. Here is link for appointment. https://www.immigration.go.th/?page_id=20131

Regards the reentry permit stamp. Did you obtain it at immigration office where it was issued? Meaning perhaps you obtained it at airport

So let's understand your theory. If someone lives in Thailand on for example extensions based on retirement. How often can they change where they live to another province. I'm sure your answer will be hilarious.

That could not occur. A non O-A visa is valid for one year and is a multi entry visa. No way known that a lease would be a requirement. In any event the OP has not contributed for 24 hr and never stated immigration office. Waste of time.

Nonsense. Nothing stopping doing change of address to another province.. One rider on that is if you obtained non O in Thailand the first extension should be at same office. After that you can move and do change of address using TM30..and then apply for next extension at that office.

Bit harsh. I wouldn't be rushing back home to Ukraine.

It won't be a non O-A. Yes Tourist Visa.
