Many immigration offices will require a screenshot of your TM30. Where are you staying. Most hotels do them and can provide you with screenshot when requested

Do it online very quick process. You can leave without doing it.

Not addressing your question, but have you ever considered changing to a Non O based on retirement. Same financial requirements but no insurance requirement.

Show me ONE similar post that mirrors OP. NO overstay. NO criminal offense. The OP can enter visa exempt. If flagged at departure or upon arrival I would be amazed. Alternatively enter eg Saigon and apply for tv at consulate. Most likely a balls up at eVisa end. Recently a chap had eVisa refused UK Appealed and having already entered Thailand visa exempt had his appeal upheld and TV issued. Current thread.

The article mentioned "new head guy" This is just the usual song and dance with Thai immigration. When Big Joke was removed even CW did a crackdown on TM30. That lasted about one month. All new kids on the block (immigration appointments) need to make a splash. Suggest all take deep breath on this.

Why would you choose this course of action which would be very problematic. Either enter Thailand visa exempt or fly into nearby country. One example would be Saigon where it's not an eVisa but rather personal application. Why consult lawyer when you state that you have never overstayed.

Of course it is. How is this related to OP? He asked specific question regarding home visit for extension based on marriage.

That's all you needed to post. Which BTW is correct. Posted several times above. The preamble including that you are proud owner of LTR is irrelevant.

Skip it. Silly idea. I have posted in many of your threads. This one is a No Go as you are suggesting entry from HK visa exempt with your history. If it was essential then you would fly to nearby country and attempt to enter via land borders. If your friends are so keen suggest to them to have mini holiday in Saigon and meet you there 3500baht return Ripper joint.

Perfect analogy.

Do not understand one part of that post. Not even why you quoted me. The OP has been given correct advice in the thread. There is absolutely no need to contact bank or immigration office. The requirements are crystal clear.

It's just a thread about Thai citizenship badge. Anyone would know to enter Thailand with Thai pp if you had one and returning to live in Thailand.

Stop. You list 2 offices. There are approximately 75 offices. What would be more sensible is to provide ONE report of refusal of extension due to not doing the report back for bank book check. Obviously the financial requirements are checked carefully at application for next extension.

"quite a number" ? Please list a few. Don't start with Jomtien as that was never enforced.

OP, normally apply couple of weeks prior to expiry of 30 day stamp. If you apply in Bangkok you would attend Laksi immigration office.

You won't obtain TV. Can't think of a reason why you would want to enter Thailand for few days. Also staying in HK for few days only is sketchy at best. Fly to UK. If you want few days somewhere fly HK to Saigon (UK are visa exempt) then back to UK.

How long in Hong Kong before entering Thailand. You would be planning on entering Thailand visa exempt? What would help is if you had your flight to UK to support outline of plans regarding stay in Thailand

Take your TM30 with you to immigration for extension.

Think he means Vientiane. OP for the extension if you are in Bangkok you will apply at Laksi immigration

@stephen tracy what type of visa do you have? What reason do you have to attend immigration? If you have a multi entry visa you would not need to make a TM30. If you obtained a visa exempt entry in Nong Khai the only reason you would need to do a TM30 is if planning to attend immigration for extension. If that's the case just do TM30 prior to attending immigration. No urgency.

You will not be applying for next extension so don't be concerned about maintaining the financial requirements. You also should consult banking finance forum to obtain advice on transferring and money you have in Thailand back to home country. Some folk use DEE money. Not possible with WISE.

I added to post.

The money requirement is 800k baht 2 months prior and 3 months after application and not below 400k at other times. The funds are not frozen by the bank. Your immigration office can require 12 months of bank statements particularly if there has not been any transactions in some months. Obviously for first time extension the bank statements would only be required for 2 months prior to application.

Not interested in random immigration offices. Generally speaking 90 day reports are not related to extensions apart from the first extension from a non O
