Posting this for others. If you for example have appointment confirmation email and forget that hard copy is required ..you can forward that stall any email you have and they can print attachment. Few baht.

Lower level there is photocopy/photo shop stall. Cheap. They know exactly what you need.

Enter visa exempt after Oct 1. Obtain an extension=45+30. Do border bounce for wash and repeat= 5 months. Do another border bounce if longer stay required. Read threads re onward flight for airlines. Some easy options.

When does current permission of stay end. I assume you are on extensions from your non O-A

It is not an extension. IMO unless you can absolutely guarantee when new pp is in your hands I'm thinking going on overstay better option. The 7 day get out of dodge is ok for eg flight leaving 4 days after permit expires. A gamble on when you get your pp is too vague for me.

Yes. Folk in their droves are killing off their non O-A by exiting Thailand and reentering with visa exempt and obtaining a non O and 12 month extension. The reason being that no insurance requirements

Normally couple of weeks prior to expiry of permit. Can try earlier..

No new rules for non O and extentions from that visa. Change of rules is about insurance requirements for non O-A and extension from that visa.

Yes Ho Chi Minh provide ME non O marriage. Quick turnaround as mentioned earlier. The airport is close to district 1 where you can access Thai consulate easily. Phuket direct flight to Saigon is approx 2200baht each way. Don't quite follow the one year visa if you live in Phuket as you need exit Thailand every 3 months or every 5 if you obtain 60 day extension to visit wife. You could do a border bounce and obtain a non O at Phuket immigration and subsequent extension. You would need to check out cost of visa to Vietnam if you choose that option

You could consider Saigon. Quick turn around for visa AM submit and pick up PM next day. Airfare approx 2k each way. Being USA you require a visa which is downside.

That should satisfy immigration as you can show 12 months of transfers. As usual some offices have their own take on things. For first extension without embassy letter for income method they seem to have their own rules.

The extension stamp would have two dates on it. One is the date the stamp was issued and another the date "admitted till". Your 90 days would start from the date issued. As you used an agent where did agent obtain your stamps.

Funds in bank account 800k+ for TWO months prior to application and maintained for 3 months after application and at other times not less than 400k. Assuming this is not your first extension the immigration officer will check your bank account back to previous extension. Will look for 800k maintained for 3 mo ths from date of last application then not below 400k and back up to 800k two months prior to day you apply for extension

The agent is not using "income method" Would be "money in bank method". In any event off topic. The OP was not asking about agents.

Which immigration office are you dealing with? That attachment you posted is incorrect, however i believe there are one or two "middle ages" immigration offices still believe that it's 3 months prior.

Read the OP. The daughter is making a 3 week trip.

No. Two months prior to obtaining extension and maintained for 3 months post application.

OP, if you are living in Thailand and your current extension is ending you could consider exit Thailand reenter visa exempt and start over with a non O based on retirement. The non O and subsequent extensions do not require insurance.

Good. I have answers to some of your questions. Bumping this now so you can obtain first hand answers from those that deal with extensions based on marriage at CW.

The dual passports can be useful for extended stay in Thailand as with Thai pp entry the normal requirements for tourists would not apply. However in your daughters case it's a quick visit and the visa exempt using Oz pp has her covered.

Can't see why she would even bother with her Thai pp. With Oz pp she will receive 30 (or 45 after Oct 1) visa exempt stamp.

After Oct 1 visa exempt entry is 45 days. Entry by air or land border. Forget the tourist visa. Each entry can obtain a 30 day extension. So eg ...enter by air visa exempt 45 days. Do one border bounce reenter visa exempt 45 days. Obtain one 30 day extension to either entry. All up 120 days. More if you want. Edit: just reread your OP. You are only looking for 90 days. Two visa exempt will cover that.

My post was clear. Not many folk use and agent for extension and straight away start to meet the financials for the next extension. Either by transfers or money in the bank. Hence in vast majority of cases folk having used an agent will exit and reenter to start over.

Simply rejection stamp and given 7 days to exit. Some folk use it to avoid overstay. TBH never seen one Hopefully someone might post picture of one.

As you would know overstay 500baht per day and not something you want to rack if wanting elite visa in the future. In the main I suggested overstay as I do not know what happens if you cannot leave with the get out of dodge 7 days Not sure if it's a simple overstay after the 7 days. Remember the 7 days is not an extension. Expert can advise.
