    That's ancient. US citizens will receive 30 at land border entry visa exempt. Same via air. Both permits can be extended by 30 days at immigration office. 1900b . Note max 2 visa exempt entries via land per calendar year.
  2. DrJack54
    Extension is 30 days.
  3. DrJack54
    Excellent report. Ta
  4. DrJack54
    Oh ...and that visa is 30 days. Yet some complain about the options Thailand provides.
  5. DrJack54
    Nothing to do with Phuket office. I posted earlier that most if not all offices will insist on the FIRST extension from a non O-A must be based on retirement. Subsequent extensions can be based on marriage

    Agree 100%. Ridiculous thread. I recently took trip to Vietnam. Being Oz there is NO visa exempt entry for entry to Vietnam. Pre to covid you could obtain a 90 day multiple entry tourist visa. That is no longer available. Only tourist visa available is single entry tourist visa. What are the moaners on about re Thailand options.
  7. DrJack54
    That is pretty much universal. You would have received same answer in most offices including CW.
  8. DrJack54
    No.

    3800baht.

    Have the family take her through "fast track" immigration desk. They will be fine
  11. DrJack54
    Only required to be valid to cover period of stay for immigration at arrival in Thailand. However the airline may have their own rule re "valid for minimum 6 months.
  12. DrJack54
    They don't need to show anything. Cash in any currency equivalent to 20k in total would be sensible as a family. The airline at departure from Germany may ask for proof of onward/return ticket. There are options to cover that. They don't need to show hotel reservations. Having address of a hotel a good idea. How long is the holiday in Thailand
  13. DrJack54
    Yes. No problem. Note : the reentry permit will expire same date as your current permission of stay
  14. DrJack54
    He can return straight away. That also applies to folk that decide to just exit via airport pay overstay fine and reenter. A short stay out of Thailand would be good idea. Regarding enter visa exempt any issue would be down to his history of semi continuous time spent in Thailand with visa exempt and tourist visas. I'm pretty sure that immigration will let him pay overstay and apply for 30 day extension

    Here is a thread with some comments regarding insurance for extensions from a non O-A based on retirement or marriage
  16. DrJack54
    @Pib think it's ridiculous that your extensions were not grandfathered. Insurance is not possible for many older folk expats living in Thailand due to exclusions for pre existing conditions. The policy in some cases becomes a moot point.
  17. DrJack54
    It's a common change to based on marriage for the very reason of no insurance requirement as outlined earlier. Kalasin doesn't have much to do with it. It's not about logic. you seem to suggest it's about logic and individual offices. No
  18. DrJack54
    Brilliant. @Red Phoenix asked me for link to rule. I could not find one. Thanks for clarification.
  19. DrJack54
    Indeed. Excellent option prior to introduction of insurance requirement. Strange how (I think) Phuket immigration has grandfathered non O-A prior to certain date. The other 70+ offices did not.
  20. DrJack54
    Just to use my own reentry permit as eg. I obtained prior to my expiry of current permission of stay which is Nov 8. The stamp pic below shows reentry valid till Nov 8 2023. I subsequently left Thailand and returned.
  21. DrJack54
    Yes. Be aware that few Thai consulates require an appointment. Example Vientiane, Saigon etc
  22. DrJack54
    Reentry expiry date will be same as current permission of stay date.
  23. DrJack54
    Got a link for that? As far as tourist visa Vietnam currently only provides single entry 30 day tourist visa. The 3 month multi was taken off the table since start of covid.
  24. DrJack54
    I assumed incorrectly. So really it's just been last several months. So you still have 2 visa exempt entries via land borders in pocket this calendar year. That's 4 months with extensions. Have you considered sending some time outside of Thailand. USA citizen requires visa for Vietnam but ripper joint. Improves chance of less hassle at airports.
  25. DrJack54
    Multiple entry is available. No problem.
