In this thread attached ubonjoe mentions this "rule" think he refers to 2016 and gives bit of background. Your statement here best sums up the situation. https://aseannow.com/topic/1138484-any-validity-to-the-180-day-year-rule/

No

All good. Thread closed

No need for him to do anything regards tm30 unless he needs to deal with immigration eg extension

No such law/rule

Don't worry about 90 day report.

The limit of 2 per calendar year refers to land and sea. No stated limit via air.

The 2 posters that replied are correct. You have your answer. Thread closed

He can do it via mail or in person. Most likely online will be rejected.

You would be starting the whole process over. A non O provides a 90 day stamp and the only extension available is 12 months or 60 day extension to visit wife. Why are you considering not obtaining annual extensions? Even for folk only staying 6 months in Thailand its a good option. The 400k only in bank for 2 months plus under consideration period. Then you can use the funds as you wish.

And I suggested for his next tm47 probably best to do it in person.

Good question. Hopefully Samui immigration will correct stamp. Problem solved. Not convinced that is a guarantee. Flights from Samui expensive back to Bangkok. They mention 3 weeks on Samui then to "other islands" They can still achieve 150 day stay. Just involves inconvenience and $$

He will need to attend immigration for his next extension. Given that previous extensions were done at CW , I simply suggested he ask if he can do a TM47 at same visit. Some offices now require a TM47 for application for annual extension. OK?

He does not need to do it just because of change of address. However if immigration allow him to make a TM47 that would be useful for next extension. Some offices (eg CW) now requure TM47 for extension application

Technically you should do the TM30 as soon as you move to Pattaya. It's a change of address and unrelated to 90 day report. Immigration may allow you to make TM47 at same time. The immigration office will advise.

Then yes do a change of address TM30 at Jomitien. Suggest you do it in person.

You can do it in person at Jomtien immigration office. You need to provide TM30 (change of address). If you have rental agreement that would be useful. Just to be clear. Is this a permanent address change. Where will you apply for you next annual extension?

A non O marriage or retirement provides a stamp of 90 days. If married you can obtain a 60 extension to visit wife = 5 months ~ It cannot be extended by 30 days.

Being evasive doesn't help. You mention few more weeks I just renewed my pp (Oz) it took 20 days. They stated to allow up to 6 weeks. Back to your question. Yes you can renew your pp..

No they are not. For the subsequent 12 month extension theO OP will require 800k in Thai bank account. Only delays that requirement. And requires trip to Loas (Vientiane) to obtain the Non O. Certainly and option if in home country and can obtain eVisa non o. Will assist to open bank account. Or agent for bank account 5k

Why. Vientiane require an appointment added fact is that OP asked specific question. Have a read.

Very tired of you. She will receive quick reply Monday. You posted earlier "no reply from OP" Clearly she is waiting for immigration to open Monday. I hope Samui correct the mistake with her stamp. She indicated 3 week stay Samui. They have options to achieve 150 day stay if Samui immigration refuse to alter stamp. The TM30 will be a minor concern for her situation.

Does not require medical ins and yes can apply for 12 month extension

Yes apart from UK,USA,AU

Many examples of immigration offices refusing to correct error of stamp from entry to Thai airports. No so much in Bangkok where you can attend immigration to have error corrected. Not sure current office for this however previously was counter K at IT mall. Certainly the stamp can be altered at BKK airport. For the OP, all this is very inconvenient. Obviously she will attend Samui immigration Monday. All the TM30 chit chat is useless. My guess is Samui will tell her to nick off. Fall back option is to change plan to achieve 150 days using setv entry. That's possible without having stamp corrected
