Read my earlier post. I had to check out 3 beach side restaurant to finally find one that would serve me a beer at a restaurant. Then on island the 7/11 chick had to put my beer in plastic bag after she put towel around the bottle. That's weird. To each their own. I wouldn't go to Malaysia with a free ticket.

Everyone living in Thailand or even tourist accept quickly that Thailand has a stupid 2-5 alcohol rule. Fortunately the Mum/Pop shoos next door sell booze during those hours.

Do not apply early. When the METV is issued it has an expiry date. Suggest you read threads about METV obtained in your country and apply according. Couple of weeks early most likely sufficient. Regards onward flight you could provide rent a ticket. For eVisa they do not seem to check current validity. An alternative would be to book genuine ticket to for example Vietnam for mini break from Thailand.

Joke? Pulled into beach side restaurant only to be told that they don't seve alcohol due to religion. Lovely joint . Not.

That's fine and would be best if that was in your OP. Another option would be tourist visa (60 day stamp) along with one visit to immigration for 30 day extension. 1900baht.

Nonsense. USA and AU as I have tried to explain to you cannot enter Vietnam visa exempt. The only option is 30 day single entry tourist visa. And you want/suggest Thailand tourist options need to be relaxed. In fact 90 days? Now on ignore.

Please stop. Thailand cannot control flight costs from Europe etc. I have already explained the "visa fees" have not changed Visa exempt 45 days was a temporary stimulus. Get over it. 30 day visa exempt has always been lovely option from Thai gov. Also easy extended by 30 days for 1900baht.

Do not understand one word of that. You can fly to thailand from wherever and enter visa exempt. As per my earlier post. That can be extended by 30 days. A border bounce does not require flights. I recently flew Bangkok to Saigon return for 3500baht. If a border run flight is preferred. Read the thread . It has been explained.

Not for land border entry. As for first entry via air an onward flight can be provided for airline at departure for 12usd. Will not be asked for by Thai immigration on arrival at airport.

Again don't follow. It's VERY easy to stay in Thailand for 4 months. Visa exempt entry + extension. Plus one border bounce along with extension. That provides 4 months and one more visa exempt entry via land still in pocket . That is 6 months right there. Also METV for even longer stay. Up to 9 months. Vietnam (just one example) previously had 3 month multi entry visa. That's currently not available. Come on.

How is that related to Thailand. So assume you have farang passport and can visit Oz NZ etc easily. You would also receive 90 days Japan visa exempt. Having Oz pp I need visa to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Zero option for visa exempt entry. For Thailand they provide visa exempt entry to 64 country. Don't understand some of these posts about what Thailand should do.

Yes I recall you posting this. Will be issue for me in November. I have never needed a TM30 for extensions at CW. In fact I have never even made one. Things can change as sadly happens. Turkey shoot.

Not everyone applying for an extension has a TM47 receipt. For that situation a TM30 will most likely be asked by immigration.

Good post. OP, Note in above post that wife needs to enter Thailand with non O.

With a visa or reentry permit the airline will not ask to see onward flight

If it's so serious to yourself then be aware of your permission of stay date and exit prior to that. Again you did not mention exit date. Strange. If it's one day you do not receive fine If it's a couple you are fined 500b per day . One short overstay would not effect PE Visa and zero issue for non O

Nonsense Rant which I have reported.. This forum is for serious questions and advice. Your first sentence ..... "I do have a visa it's called visa excempt, everyone in the country has a visa .." No sir they do no not have a visa. Most have a permission of stay.

First up you don't have a visa. Currently your have 30 day extension according to your OP. Attending immigration tomorrow you should be fine. It's already been explained to you. You do not obtain a 7 day extension. No such thing. You are given a leave Thailand within 7 day notice. I asked earlier...when is your exit date. You post very negative replies to folk trying to help and clearly your knowledge of requirements very limited.

Surely that is dreaming. Your 3 passports show your record of living in Thailand and extensions marriage.

And I don't know who would have such lack of planning. You have been given appropriate advice. The only visa it may effect is PE visa. Even then unlikely. Strange that you did not indicate the date of your flight out of Thailand. If couple of days most would just pay overstay fine upon flight out. Strange thread.

Your posts were helpful. Don't bite. Not worth it.

First post in this thread and related information. https://aseannow.com/topic/1169664-thai-immigration-announce-changes-to-tm30-reporting/

The onward ticket is virtually never an issue with Thai immigration on arrival. It's the airline carrier at departure that may request seeing an onward flight Rent a ticket from various companies on net work fine.

The extension is either valid or not. Can't be half pregnant. https://aseannow.com/topic/910961-marriage-visawife-dieswhat-happens/

Each entry with a tourist visa or visa exempt can be extended once by 30 days. You are permitted 2 visa exempt entries at land borders per calendar year. Via air no stated limit, however continuous back visa exempt entries would lead to scrutiny and possible refusal of entry.
