Being issued at land crossings. Not issued at airports. You will not need TM6 for extension

Yes Is her other pp valid? She can exit on that pp and enter Thailand on her expired thai pp.

Yes was typo I fixed up prior to your post.

No . And not even if you exit Thailand and reenter. Which immigration office. CM is one office incorrectly requiring TM30 for inter province travel. Ridiculous really.

BTW ...the 400k only needs to be in the bank on day of application for non O. There is one rogue office (Jomtien) insisting on two months.

That is rare. Most immigration offices would reject a double sided form printed as two pages. I suggest folk ignore this advice from post I quoted

Yes. You actually have to apply at your local immigration office. You need 15+ days remaining on your permission of stay. Longer at some offices such as CM

DEE Money. Cannot use WISE.

I use my passport to travel extensively in Thailand and exit and reenter Thailand. Have never ever done a TM30 living same address for 10 years. Only few crackpot immigration offices such as CM have not read change of rules 2020. Not everyone has a Pink card or TDL.

Yes. Using tourist visas .

They are wrong or you did not understand what they were saying

PM sent.

Perhaps there is particular time of the year that you would likely to be in Thailand eg Xmas.. Keep in mind that extension renewal has a 30 day window and 45 at some offices. Unlike extensions marriage there is no under consideration period.

Some clear information from ubonjoe in this thread https://aseannow.com/topic/1126146-piggy-back-visa-for-mom/

If it was your first extension how did you provide tm47

Perhaps choice of border crossing perhaps not using an agent. However certainly not his visa history. Having been on continuous extensions from a non O-A is very different that back to back tourist visas and visa exempt entries and even non ED. People in their droves have been exiting Thailand and return visa exempt to kill off their non O-A. Including border crossings.

OP, here is a thread. Take note of first reply from ubonjoe.....

The chap I quoted was stating that METV was designed for people using Thailand as a base and traveling around Asian countries. That's nonsense. Some use it to max out time spent in Thailand. No rule preventing that. By way of example the 60 day stamp per entry can be extended by 30 days. 1900b

According to who.

30 days has nothing to do with it. If you return to Thailand with reentry permit you do not need to file a TM30. You can stay out of Thailand as long as you like. Just as long as you return within your extension and reentry permit expiry.

Don't really follow your post. The issue for me was that my bank bank had zero transactions for various months. Hence they wanted bank statements. With me pointing out that this had never been an issue previously and that I keep 800+ all year round in a dedicated bank account. I had to "debate" with senior io. As for the TM47... because I was sent back to document check the person doing that requested TM47. "Where TM47" Experiences vary as is always the case.

A non O marriage is a visa. It provided a 90 day permission of stay and you then subsequent ongoing extensions. A ME Non O marriage is a visa valid for 12 months. Two different animals.

Some folk want to exit as little as possible Some others want to travel a lot to places such as Saigon. As I and couple of others have pointed out. Forget the notion of triple entry tourist visa. That was replaced by METV years ago. As I post earlier. That visa can provide stay of almost 9 months. Where are you currently located?

Your post is correct. Regarding the visa exempt entry not being on offer was just typical from PoiPet crossing. If he for example been entering friendship bridge ...would not have an issue.

Good news. To be clear for others ....don't be concerned if your permission of stay expires during under consideration period. The pause button has been hit.
